Report: CBS Cancels THE MILLERS

Well, this is baffling: according to multiple reports, CBS has pulled the plug on THE MILLERS, ending production immediately. (Only next week’s episode is scheduled to air at this point.)

THE MILLERS had been struggling in the ratings recently (after losing its THE BIG BANG THEORY lead-in), but it’s fairly rare for a second year series to be canceled like this.

THE MILLERS: Sean Hayes Joins the Cast

THE MILLERS will have a new series regular when the show returns for its second season: Sean Hayes!

According to CBS, Hayes will play Kip Withers, “Carol Miller’s (Margo Martindale) new best friend and a new source of friction for Carol’s son, Nathan (Will Arnett).”

“After years of being a fan and hearing from others how wonderful he is to work with, I couldn’t be more excited about Sean Hayes joining THE MILLERS,” said Greg Garcia, series creator and executive producer in a statement. “The thought of he and Margo Martindale as BFFs makes me smile every time I think about it. We’re only just getting started, and writing this season’s stories has been a blast.”

THE MILLERS returns Thursday, October 30th at 8:30 PM on CBS.

THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL is Coming to CBS

We may have a few months before CBS’ fall 2014 lineup gets solidified, but one big piece of the puzzle has been placed: CBS has won the rights to air NFL’s Thursday Night Football — which consists of eight early season games — the network announced today.

“We are very pleased to build on our outstanding partnership with the NFL by expanding our coverage to Thursday nights,” said CBS Corporation President and CEO Leslie Moonves in a statement. “CBS is a premium content company and the NFL represents the best premium content there is. I look forward to all this new deal will do for us not only on Thursday nights, but across our entire schedule.”

With CBS using eight Thursdays on the sporting event, no word yet on what impact that will have on its scripted shows currently there. (Perhaps a few will be shuffled, and a few others will be delayed?)

Do you think you’ll check out football on CBS?

GLEE’s Jayma Mays Joins THE MILLERS

GLEE’s season finale may have ended with Emma and Will finally becoming husband and wife, but it doesn’t seem like we’ll be seeing much of that marriage next season: a rep for CBS has confirmed that Jayma Mays (Emma on GLEE) has joined the new CBS series, THE MILLERS, as Will Arnett’s sister.

Mays’ new role, Debbie, was originally played by Mary Elizabeth Ellis in the pilot, but Ellis, along with her on-screen THE MILLERS husband (played by Michael Rappaport) were dropped from the show shortly after it was picked up. There’s no word yet on who will replace Rappaport.

Are you excited to see Mays in THE MILLERS?
