CBS confirms it has cancelled the Mike & Molly TV series. Word that Mike & Molly‘s sixth season would be its last came from cast members, a month ago. This is the network’s first acknowledgement of the cancellation.
Cast mate, Roni Reed, first shared details on Facebook. Later, stars Billy Gardell and Melissa McCarthy also expressed their sadness about the cancellation, via social media.
From Variety:
Newly minted CBS president Glenn Geller made the announcement Tuesday at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, Calif.
“‘Mike and Molly,’ listen, these decisions are really challenging and I have a tremendous amount of respect for Chuck [Lorre], Al Higgins, Melissa, Billy — the whole cast and crew,” he said. “But I can conform that this will be the last season of ‘Mike and Molly.’”
As for the final episode of the sitcom, Geller said, “I think the fans will be very satisfied with what Chuck and Al have planned.”

CBS made some genius moves going back to the late 1990s to early 2000s. They introduced some ground breaking sitcoms like Becker, King of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond. Then by following up with ratings behemoth Two and a Half Men, they achieved the unthinkable. They wrestled away Thursday night “Must See TV” from rival NBC for the first time in memory! And then, using the same formula of four good sitcoms followed by a well received one hour drama, CBS claimed Monday nights as well. Some of those shows went on to be rating successes for many years like… Read more »
I really hope that another network picks this show up. I will really nice having a good laugh once a week

What a bad decision! Does CBS need the slot for another comedy that will turn out to be a dud that gets canceled in a few weeks? Mike and Molly is so smart and entertaining. A comedy for adults. It is laugh out loud a scream! I hate that it has been canceled!
Love not iove
I’m so upset they have cancelled Mike and Molly my husband and daughter all iove this show. CBS will loose many viewers. My only hope is that a more intelligent network would pick up this show. Good luck CBS bad decision.
One of the only shows you look forward to watching. Television is all reality tv. Or crime scene tv. Or untruthful news. Why they would cancel such a good show doesnt even suprise me. Just another let down for regular people wanting to have that half hour escape. My family will miss Mike and Molly. Still so many more possibilities to of come To bad. Just a little more faith to justify netflix
What about the news is untruthful? Today’s top stories:
Iran Holds U.S. Boats, What’s untrue about this?
Powerball, Not really news, but not untrue either.
Istanbul Explosion, True.
Buffalo Car in Ice, Check.
What are you talking about?
The newly CBS president Glenn Gellar is Ignorant! Decisions like this will cost CBS viewers. Go ahead take a show off the Air that has an amazing cast who are are so good together it comes through on screen! Fools always make ignorant decisions especially those who THINK THEY KNOW WHAT VIEWERS WILL LIKE! Don’t ASSUME TO KNOW BECAUSE MR. GELLAR YOU DON’T!
I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE COMMENTS ABOUT ONE OF MY FAVORITE COMEDIES, MIKE AND MOLLY!!! GELLER…GET A CLUE!!! WE ALL WANT MIKE AND MOLLY TO STAY ON TV FOR SEVERAL MORE SEASONS!! YOU ARE MAKING A VERY VERY HUGE MISTAKE!!! IF YOU TAKE OUR SHOW OFF…YOU WILL FIND OUT THAT YOU HAVE A LOT LESS VIEWERS!!! SO SAD!!!
