NBC Cancels "One Big Happy"
by Kate Stanhope, Michael O'Connell, Lesley Goldberg
5/8/15

Rookie comedy "One Big Happy" has been canceled.

From executive producer Ellen DeGeneres and showrunner Liz Feldman (and based on the latter's life), "One Big Happy" was part of NBC's midseason multi-camera push.

The Warner Bros. Television lesbian-themed family comedy, which opened to lackluster reviews, finished its short six-episode run in late April with 3 million total viewers, losing nearly half the audience from its premiere.

This marks the second LGBT-themed family comedy to go one and done at NBC. It follows Ryan Murphy and Ali Adler's "The New Normal" as Bob Greenblatt continues to make LGBT fare a priority for the network.

Not a big loss... Pilot was decent but then it got worse with each episode. Hope next season NBC airs better comedies.

Good riddance, the premise sounded promising but was executed poorly with unrealistic writing and a forced laughtrack, I'm just upset it wasn't cancelled much earlier.

From what pilots they ordered to series yesterday, I can already tell its gonna be another season full of failed crappy comedies for NBC.
