Fall TV Preview: How will CBS's Gary Unmarried do this season?

Settled as Renewed after Jan 1st

Seriously? They renewed this drek and yet Samantha Who was canceled? What is wrong in the universe??

Background:

Background: Premieres: Wednesday, Sept. 24, 8:30 pm/ET



What it's about: The recently divorced Gary (Jay Mohr) tolerates his shrewish ex (Marshall) as they struggle to raise their two kids together and he attempts to find love again. Oh, it's a sitcom.

Schedule

The buzz: I can only imagine that they had a 3 year old write the pilot because all the other writers were on strike. Ick. What happened to the happy (actually funny) sitcoms like Everyone Loves Raymond?

Current timeslot competition:
ABC: Pushing Daisies
CW: America's Top Model
FOX: Bones
NBC: Knight Rider (New)

Lead in: Old Christine

Settlement details:As reported by TVGUIDE.com

A note about the options: Shows that are great tend to be renwed earlier in the year, typically before the Christmas break. Shows that are really bad are canceled after only a couple of showings. Shows that are somewhat inbetween are usually announced around the time of the upfronts in May. So your options basically break down into:
Cancelled before Jan 1st - Really bad show
Cancelled after Jan 1st - Show not great
Renewed before Jan 1st - Really great show
Renewed after Jan 1st - Ok show
Other - catchall for not announced by end of network Upfront in spring, show is pulled from schedule for future season, etc.

This is for season renewal, an ordering of more episodes for season 1 will not settle the market.

The suspend date may slide forward once network upfront dates are announced.

Total garbage. If it gets renewed, it means they have nothing in the pipeline with even the possilbility to be better than this. Mohr is hack as well.
