"Mike & Molly" Renewed by CBS
by Nellie Andreeva
March 11, 2015

CBS has given early renewals to comedy series "Mom" and "Mike & Molly", meaning that all of Chuck Lorre’s series on the network will be back next season.

Flagship "The Big Bang Theory" is one year into a three-season pickup.

The network is yet to confirm the renewal but cast members and writers from both Warner Bros. TV-produced shows have been tweeting about getting the pickup news today.

Nice to hear, this is still a pretty good show.

cool beans...great show....

Chocolate Moose · 05-19-2015, 04:49 PM

Wonder what the story line will bring ....

This show hasn't been on yet this fall.

Has anyone heard of a premier date for Mike & Molly??

Sadly, CBS is reducing their comedy hours this season to two (both on Thursday), so there isn't much room for Mike & Molly on the schedule, especially if Supergirl (which replaces CBS's last remaining Monday comedy hour) becomes a major ratings hit.

I'm sure they'll find room for Mike and Molly.

James28 · 10-11-2015, 03:03 AM

They could air Mike & Molly's sixth season on either Saturday or Sunday.

If M&M airs its season 6 on Saturdays, this could be looked at as a burn-off before its cancellation (I'd hate to see that happen, though).

If M&M airs its S6 on Sundays, they can put it at the 8PM hour and pair it with the 2015 version of The Odd Couple, meaning that Madam Secretary and The Good Wife would be moved to 9PM and 10PM, respectively, CSI: Cyber, which is underperforming in its new 10PM timeslot, would be pulled from the schedule and burned off over the summer.

This could work.

LeeBlue · 10-14-2015, 10:26 AM

James28, you have a good suggestion for Sunday evening.

Putting Mike & Molly with the Odd Couple at 8:00 & 8:30 PM would be a good fit.

Let's hope CBS finds a place for these two comedies

James28 · 12-01-2015, 06:20 PM

Mike & Molly's Season 6 premiere is set for Wednesday, January 6, 2016, at 8:30 PM, following 2 Broke Girls (at 8:00 PM). 6 of the 13 episodes ordered for this season will air on Wednesdays; a night for the remaining 7 is to be determined.

Also, one of M&M's stars, Billy Gardell, had an interview with the Milwaukee-area's CBS affiliate, WDJT, on November 10. Gardell said that based on the latest, abbreviated, episode order from the network, he thinks that Season 6 may possibly be the last one for Mile & Molly.

I hope they don't cancel this show. This is one of the few current shows on that I actually like.

LeeBlue · 12-12-2015, 10:47 AM

I also hope this isn't the last season for Mike & Molly.

Seems like there is a lot of territory that could still be covered.

Maybe Molly doing a variety of temp jobs or their deciding to adopt a child.

When it does end, the producers should give it a proper send-off.

But hoping for season seven, too.

James28 · 12-13-2015, 02:53 PM

Season six of Mike & Molly has been confirmed as its final season, according to TVSeriesFinale.com. Co-star Rondi Reed, in this Facebook post from 9 December, shared some details of M&M's cancellation.

CBS has yet to comment on Mike & Molly’s status, but Melissa McCarthy and Billy Gardell have confirmed via Twitter that their comedy is ending with Season 6. McCarthy tweeted: 'I was shocked and heartbroken when @CBS canceled #MikeAndMolly. I would have shot this show for 50 more years. I'll miss my 2nd family.” PLUS: What’s next for Melissa McCarthy?
