HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN now even more canceled

Just in case the announcement that CBS' new sitcom would be moved from its original Thursday slot to the Saturday night Death Zone quickly followed by the news that production had been completely shut down was not enough to trample the hopes of any HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN fan, the show has now been pulled from the Saturday night lineup after only one week.

Its single Saturday night airing drew in only 2.4 million viewers with a 0.7 rating.  That's a far cry from the ratings CBS is used to for its sitcoms (especially compared to the 15.14 million people that watched TWO AND A HALF MEN on Monday).  This means that CBS is not even willing to waste precious air time burning off the remaining episodes of HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN that had already been filmed.  It will be replaced on Saturdays by reruns of another (as yet unannounced) sitcom.

Sad news indeed for anyone still watching this show.  Good news for the rest of humanity.
