Before "The Real O'Neals" debuted on network television, CBS aired a family sitcom program with a gay main character in an Irish-American Catholic family titled "The McCarthys."

Debuting October 2014, the show was canceled after the first season, with four episodes still to be aired, according to the website TV Series Finale.

"It was the lowest-rated scripted series on the network in total viewership and had the lowest demo rating of any CBS sitcom this season," noted the site in May 2015.
