Pauley Perrette, beloved for her role as Abby Sciuto on NCIS, faced a setback with her new CBS sitcom Broke, which was recently canceled after just one season. Perrette had made her return to the network with the show, where she portrayed Jackie, a single mother whose life is upended when her wealthy sister arrives seeking help.
Despite Broke receiving mixed reviews and low ratings—evidenced by a disappointing 30% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes—Perrette took to Twitter to express her gratitude for the experience. In a heartfelt message, she shared that the show had restored her faith in people and the industry. She emphasized how the cast and crew were the best she had ever worked with, saying, “Healed me. Changed me. Made me whole. So Blessed.”
Perrette also highlighted a particular episode titled “Losing My Religion,” which she described as the most important half hour of television she had ever done. She noted that the episode tackled themes of faith and overcoming childhood challenges, reflecting her personal pride in the work.
Fans expressed their disappointment over the cancellation, with many taking to social media to share their sadness and support for Perrette. Some acknowledged her impact on their lives through both Broke and her iconic role on NCIS. While the news was disheartening, Perrette’s positive outlook and appreciation for the journey resonated with her followers, keeping her spirit alive as she moves forward in her career
