Is Gary Unmarried D.O.A.??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – The creator of the Jay Mohr comedy "Gary Unmarried" has left the show as CBS decides whether to renew the middling performer for a second season.

Ed Yeager and fellow executive producer Ric Swartzlander cited the traditional "creative differences" boilerplate for their departure.

Mohr stars as a recently single painting contractor who shares custody of his children with his controlling ex-wife (Paula Marshall).

After a promising start, its ratings leveled off, with the show pulling respectable numbers in the 8:30 p.m. Wednesday time slot following "The New Adventures of Old Christine." The first-season finale airs May 20.

There was speculation that two writer-producers on the show -- Ira Ungerleider and Rob Des Hotel -- would be elevated to run "Unmarried," and the series would then be renewed.

I like this show. I hope they give it a chance.

The only good thing that could come from its cancellation is the possibility that Jay Mohr could return to Ghost Whisperer, instead of his rather bland replacement on that show.
