CBS Cancels 'Living Biblically'

The new comedy has been pulled from the schedule.

April 19, 2018

It looks like CBS has closed the book on Living Biblically. The network pulled the freshman comedy from its schedule today, effectively cancelling the show after just eight episodes.

The series premiered back in February as a mid-season entry but never really found an audience on Monday nights. In fact, it ranks as one of the least-watched and lowest-rated series on the network, so today's move does not really come as a shock.

Living Biblically follows a father-to-be living in New York City who, after losing one of his best friends, vows to be a better man by living strictly in accordance with the Bible. With support from his wife, a Catholic Priest and a Rabbi, he begins his spiritual journey towards a life with more morals.

Beginning next Monday, repeat episodes of The Big Bang Theory will air in its time slot. It is not yet known if CBS will burn off Living Biblically's remaining episodes at some point in the future.

I didn't bother, it looked stupid. But I see some were enjoying it, so condolences to those folks.

Seems as if the show was created to offend Christians. CBS usually offends Christians in their shows (ie. Young Sheldon), this had the entirety of the show based on that premise.

They gave it a chance at least. The audience just gave did not like it, probably because they watched it. But we can't say CBS "didn't give it a chance."

It was literally the worst show I've ever seen. Unfunny and totally obnoxious.

I thought it was an interesting idea, and it was something we could watch with my 10 year old. The priest and the rabbi were great. Too bad it didn't find a following.

Good riddance. I couldn't even get through the first episode. Just awful.

This is a shame. The Priest and the Rabbi killed it on this show. I will miss this show.
