HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN, inspired by the book of the same name, is a comedy about the unlikely friendship between a traditional, refined writer and an unrefined personal trainer. Andrew Carlson (David Hornsby) is an etiquette columnist whose devotion to ideals from a more civilized time has lead to a life detached from modern society. Infectiously optimistic, Bert Lansing (Kevin Dillon) is a reformed “bad boy” from Andrew’s past who inherited a fitness center, but can still be rude, loud and sloppy. When Andrew’s editor, Jerry (Dave Foley), tells him to put a modern, sexy twist on his column or be fired, he hires Bert as a life coach in the hopes of learning to be less “gentle man” and more “real man.” Andrew’s mom, Diane (Nancy Lenehan), and his bossy sister, Janet (Mary Lynn Rajskub), support the plan, as would Janet’s husband, Mike (Rhys Darby), if he was allowed to have an opinion. Though Andrew and Bert’s views may be centuries apart, they may find they’re each other’s missing link. David Hornsby (“It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”), Adam Chase (“Friends”), Ted Schachter (“The Invention of Lying”), Joe Hipps and Modi Wiczyk are executive producers for CBS Television Studios.

Not shocked. Looks like Rules will take the place. I think this is the fastest CBS has pulled a sitcom in quite a while. They usually let them air their 9-13 episodes first, then cancel it.

It was truly dire, though I admit I still find it kinda insane when they pull shows so quickly. That said, I can't believe Rules is still on--when ti was moved to Saturday (where scripted network shows are now so rare) I guess they thought they could put it badck in the week if they canceled a show.

Yeah, Rules has always been CBS's "backup" sitcom. This will be that show's 6th season, yet only two have been full seasons. It's never gotten great ratings, but always does just good enough to keep around if a new sitcom fails.
