Life In Pieces Canceled After 4 Seaons

Well, it's the end with the Short family. 

Deadline has learned that CBS has announced on Friday that they've canceled Life In Pieces after four seasons.

Life In Pieces revolved around one big family, The Shorts; their sometimes awkward but ultimately beautiful milestone moments as told by the various members.

Created by Justin Adler; the show had literally had one of the best family sitcom casts, fronting by Dianne Wiest and James Brolin. Along with Betsy Brandt, Zoe Lister-Jones, Colin Hanks, Angelique Cabral, Thomas Sadoski, Dan Bakkedahl, Niall Cummingham, Holly J. Barrett, Giselle Eisenberg, and Hunter King.

The current season is averaging a 0.84 demo rating and 5.8 million total viewers, which is down 24, and 10 percent from Season 3.

I'm very disappointed that CBS has canceled this show as it's literally one of my favorite comedies on the network.  I had such high hopes; even though the series has just aired its fifth episode of 13 in its current season.  Well, I'm gonna treasure each of the remaining episodes of this season.


You can catch Life In Pieces Thursdays at 9:30/8:30c on CBS.

NBC cancels Great News

Well the fate of Great News has came down and it ain't great news.

On Friday, NBC has cancelled the Tina Fey produced workplace comedy after two seasons.

Great News wasn't a ratings winner this season as NBC placed it after Will and Grace Thursday night comedy lineup. Only averaging 3 million total viewers and 0,7 in demos in it's second season.

The comedy starred Briga Heelan as cable news producer Katie Wendelson, whose life was turned upside down when her mother (played by Andrea Martin) scored a gig as an intern at her station. The cast also includes Adam Campbell, Nicole Richie, Horatio Sanz, (Creator) Tracey Wigfield and John Michael Higgins.

This is of course sad news to hear about as it was one of my favorite new shows of the last year. The show was amazing with it's cast, writing and just plan hilarious. But now, the show will always be part of my DVR/Digital Show's List to watch.
