On May 10, 2019, after only five episodes into season four, it was announced that the show would not have a season five. CBS canceled it but would run the final nine episodes. The series was highly rated in its second season, right behind The Big Bang Theory (2007), but ratings dropped in season three and didn't recover in early season four. Many felt it was because of the way CBS scheduled it. The show first aired in September it's first season and then kept getting pushed back later in the year the following seasons. It didn't premier until April, almost a year after season three ended, in season four.

In season three Matt and Colleen try to have a baby and are not successful. The actress who plays Colleen however was actually pregnant with her daughter when filming.

Every episode starts with "four short stories", a pun on the family's last name, Short.
