Although it was pretty obvious, CBS has officially canceled 9JKL, Me, Myself & I, Living Biblically, & Wisdom of the Crowd. All of these shows have been let go after only one season.
All of the above-mentioned shows have been either pulled from the schedule or moved or not ordered for Back Nine. Of the four, the only series that still had a pulse was 9JKL, co-created by Mark Feuerstein and Dana Klein inspired by Feuerstein’s real-life experiences. The series was a modest but relatively steady ratings performer throughout the season. It launched to a so-so 8.2 million viewers and a 1.6 in adults 18-49 (Live+SD) behind Big Bang on Monday and ended its four-week run in the Monday 8:30 PM slot with a 1.4 in the demo and 7.2 million viewers. Since moving to the 9:30 PM berth with no Big Bang on Monday, 9JKL posted a 0.8 in 18-49. In L+7, the comedy was averaging 7.40 million viewers.
It was announced months ago that Me, Myself & I wasn’t going to get a back nine order which was a sign of the show’s fate which had very mediocre ratings on Monday nights in the fall. The same fate was clear early on for midseason arrival, Living Biblically, which launched to so-so ratings and then quickly declined.
Wisdom of the Crowd had a decent start but ratings for the Jeremy Piven drama faded as well. It wasn’t helped by the fact that Piven was accused of sexual harassment during the show’s run. CBS didn’t list this as a reason for not ordering the back nine but I’m sure it played a factor.
