'How to Be a Gentleman' Has Been Canceled - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Production on How to Be a Gentleman has shut down, effectively canceling the struggling series.

The CBS sitcom, starring David Hornsby and Kevin Dillon, halted production after filming its ninth episode Friday, according to Deadline. Earlier Friday, CBS moved the show from Thursdays to Saturdays at 8:30/7:30c, starting Oct. 15, where it will now burn off its remaining seven episodes.

Gentleman is the fourth casualty of the fall season, following NBC's dismissals of The Playboy Club and Free Agents, and The CW saying "later" to H8R. It's also the highest-rated show to be canceled so far, as it averaged 8 million viewers in its first two airings — a big drop-off from The Big Bang Theory's gigantic 14 million lead-in.

The only actor I liked on this show was Dave Foley. I was hoping this series would at least last the season since I always like to to see a fellow Canadian doing well on American TV. I'm sure Dave will find other work though so it's no big loss.
