9JKL

Josh Roberts, a divorced actor whose fictional TV series Blind Cop was recently cancelled, moves back to New York City and lives in apartment 9K. His family lives in adjacent apartments: his parents live in 9J, while his brother, sister-in-law, and their newborn baby live in 9L. This unique situation prompts Josh to try and set boundaries while reconnecting with his family members.

The show is loosely based on Feuerstein's experiences while shooting the USA Network series Royal Pains; in real life, however, Feuerstein lived with his wife, 9JKL executive producer Dana Klein, while living next to his own family.{{Cite news|url=http://www.cbs.com/shows/9jkl/news/1007418/just-how-close-is-9jkl-to-mark-feuerstein-s-real-life-/|title=Just How Close Is 9JKL To Mark Feuerstein's Real Life? - CBS.com|work=CBS|access-date=2017-08-25}}

On May 12, 2018, it was announced that CBS officially cancelled 9JKL, along with Kevin Can Wait, Superior Donuts, Living Biblically, and Me, Myself & I. A combination of factors, including declining ratings, CBS's desire to have an ownership stake (which is contradictory, as CBS Television Studios already produces 9JKL), and the network needing to clear space for three new sitcoms in the fall 2018 schedule, led to the show's demise.

The full complete series was released on DVD as for CBS Home Entertainment on November 26, 2019.{{cite web|url= https://www.deepdiscount.com/9jkl/810017880874|title= 9JKL: The Complete Series|website= DeepDiscount.com|access-date= February 6, 2020|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20191220102944/https://www.deepdiscount.com/9jkl/810017880874|archive-date= December 20, 2019|url-status= live}}
