CBS Cancels '2 Broke Girls'

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.
