What’s your favorite Mike & Molly moment? The cast of the now-cancelled CBS sitcom got together at NBC’s recent tribute to TV director James Burrows and discussed what they’ll be doing to commemorate the end of the series.
Mike & Molly is currently in the middle of its sixth and finale season. The sitcom, which stars Melissa McCarthy and Billy Gardell, was cancelled by CBS in December.
During the tribute, Jane Lynch asked the cast if they’ll be doing anything special when the series ends this year. Gardell said the cast was just trying to make it through the last episode as best they could:
We’re just trying to get through it because we have that same sense of family. We do. We get teared up. … We’re just kind of huddling together like we have since the beginning.”
Earlier, we posted both Gardell’s and McCarthy’s immediate reactions to the series’ cancellation. McCarthy tweeted that she’ll miss her second family.

There’s no word yet on when CBS will air the remaining episodes of Mike & Molly’s final season.
What do you think? Do you watch Mike & Molly? Are you sad it’s ending? What’s been your favorite moment on the show so far?
I was so disappointed to learn that Mike and Molly were coming to an end. Best ever sit com on TV. All cast really hilarious. I wish them all well
I Was very upset to hear the show was ending I watch this show every day it makes me feel better I always get a laugh and I was kinda mad that I heard the show was ending because Melissa McCarthy was choosing to better her health and lose weight that is one thing they talk about the whole time in the show so why would they cancel the show because she lost weight they could have made episodes showing her really working out and eating healthy to try to get pregnant so to close such a wonderful show because… Read more »
It is the only show on tv that I like ! Now I will have nothing to watch!! So sad!! It was so much fun to watch!!
I love Mike and Molly and loved all the troubles they had making their diets work. The struggles are real!! And they lightened those struggles up with laughter for people going through those same situations. Also, their struggles to start a family… They made those situations easier for others because we are not going through these things alone! Bring Mike and Molly back.. They are great FAMILY entertainment!!! We need more of that!!
Why? There is no logical reason to cancel Mike & Molly. They were a very relatable couple/family. I realize, CBS is one reason people are moving away from the original networks and going to Netflix, Hulu & Amazon. I really hope other stations will realize Mike & Molly how popular show it is and pick it up!
Why??? Why in the world would you cancel such an excellent show?? We watched it faithfully, and felt that the cast members were like part of our family also! You are making a big mistake by getting rid of this show! It was wonderful!
Cannot stand Melissa McCarthy or Billy Gardell or any of the rest of the cast and am THRILLED that the stupid show is cancelled! If MM never acts in anything again it will be too soon.
You’re one of FEW who didn’t like …
I think it is terrible to end Mike and Molly just because she lost weight. Ugly decision.
Hi, Very Very Sad that the show is Canceling over something SILLY!!! This show had great creative writing that made me & my FAMILY laugh together & watch it together!!!! Its so healthy & fun to laugh it made me & my family feel good the days we watched the episodes. Please consider keeping it on to view at least the episodes that wére made already. Thanks we need more shows like this one!!!!! I loved it!
I for one have enjoyed immensely all the episodes. That having been said, I also wondered when they were going to have the actors really start to buckle down and start losing weight and becoming healthy, happy individuals. I thought maybe we would see how changes in a person’s size could lead to healthy eating, healthy bodies, healthier minds, and happier lives. Why stop now. Show us how it’s done. Show us how. We can change, show us how we can benefit and live longer.
Well, Molly did lose weight, then was told she no longer fit the image of intended character! Real slap in the face !!
How sad a truly funny show.Now some sif stuff gets another season! Go figure.?
I loved that show. How interesting it was when she sold her book. It was a great story of creativity bring new insights to the table about an artists daily quest to be creative and the response of her family and their support of it. It brings to mind the mid century Dick Van Dyke show. How sad it is going away. Another loss for the educated viewer
