The Return of the McCarthy Family

Speaking of Boston shows, I was happy to hear the last four episodes of the canceled The McCarthys will be broadcast tonight (July 4th) and July 11th on CBS.  The series was canceled back in February after 11 episodes had been broadcast.  I look forward to the last episodes and the finishing of the season.  

I don't know why the networks play these games of dumping the final episodes, as they did with Red Band Society as well, but at least we get to see the full season.  And why is it CBS is not even announcing these last episodes of The McCarthys on their website?  I am still waiting for the missing last episode of Surviving Jack (though it was shown in New Zealand) as well as iTunes carrying any of the episodes.

Here is some information of the last four episodes from various sources:

- Episode 12 - Gerard's Engagement Party (July 4th):  Gerard misses his own engagement party when he gets on the wrong Boston Harbor cruise ship, so Marjorie is forced to bond with her soon-to-be daughter-in-law. Meanwhile, Sean hits it off with Katrina's mother; and Arthur judges Jackie for how her baby was conceived. 

-  Episode 13 - Cutting the Cord (July 4th): The McCarthys make a family bet to see who can be independent the longest, after they realize they have become too dependent on one another. Meanwhile, Jackie hides her pregnancy when she goes on a date.

- Episode 14 - Family Therapy (July 11th):  The family crash Ronny's therapy session and air their grievances about one another.

- Episode 15 - End Games (July 11th):  In the last episode, the McCarthy siblings each try to prove they are responsible enough to be appointed executor of their parents' will.
