CBS Cancels '2 Broke Girls'
by EG
2 Broke Girls has run its course at CBS.
The network has canceled the comedy after six seasons.
On the bubble for the first time, the Warner Bros. Television-produced multicamera comedy starring Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs was left off of CBS' 16-show renewal in March. The Michael Patrick King comedy, while a critical punching bag, has been a sturdy performer for CBS. In its sixth season, the restaurant comedy has averaged a 1.9 among adults 18-49 and 7 million total viewers. Sources say a short 13-episode order been discussed for the series, which had been used on Mondays and Thursdays but ultimately the network's lack of an ownership proved to be its demise.
Network ownership has proven to be one of the biggest storylines this upfront season as broadcasters look to have a financial stake in programming amid dwindling ratings and ad dollars.
