We first broke the story on Twitter that CBS has pulled the Saturday burn-off of canceled comedy How To Be A Gentleman after just one week. The series was pulled from the original Thursday schedule, as we mentioned, and now has been pulled from Saturdays after just one week. The sitcom only posted a 0.7 18-49 rating on Saturday, going down from its Two and a Half Men repeat lead-in. Only three total episodes have been aired and six still remain in the can to air, as production was stopped after the ninth episode. No word on if and when CBS will air these six episodes. I get the feeling you have seen the last of this sitcom, though. Lead actor David Hornsby created the series, adapting the nonfiction book of the same name by John Bridges. The series chronicled two former high school classmates, an uptight columnist (Hornsby) and his more freewheeling, Iraq war veteran, trainer (Kevin Dillon), as they renew a friendship that never really existed before. It was sort of like a new take on The Odd Couple.
CBS will replace this sitcom with comedy repeats, with the Comedytime Saturday hour now a full-hour of repeats from 8-9pm ET/PT.
