CBS Cancels "Friends with Better Lives"
by NELLIE ANDREEVA
May 10, 2014

CBS has canceled mid-season entry "Friends with Better Lives".

"Friends with Better Lives", which had been envisioned as a potential successor to "How I Met Your Mother" and launched behind the series finale of the long-running CBS comedy, had a shot at a renewal and had supporters at CBS.

I hear producer 20th TV may shop it elsewhere.

It had a strong lead in with 2 Broke Girls I wonder what could've happened? ...Oh yeah maybe it had to do with unneccesary sexual jokes about penises, vaginas, masturbation that's constantly heard a million times.

I was surprised when I heard the news. I was like "really"? I am a little taken a back.

That's why I stopped watching after 1 episode, it turned me off.

We may have seen the last of midseason CBS comedy series "Friends with Better Lives" as CBS has quietly pulled it from the schedule.

Repeats of "Mom" will move into "Friends with Better Lives‘" Monday 8:30 PM slot, where it will air next fall.

There are no plans at the moment for the remaining episodes of FWBL, which has aired 9 of its 13 produced episodes.
