Last season, the ratings for Mike & Molly dropped once again but the sitcom was renewed anyway — likely in part to give the series enough episodes for a syndication package. Will the numbers improve this time around? Cancelled or renewed for a sixth season on CBS?
On this season of Mike & Molly, Molly (Melissa McCarthy) pursues her career as a writer while Mike (Billy Gardell) continues working as a cop. The rest of the cast includes Swoosie Kurtz, Katy Mixon, Louis Mustillo, Reno Wilson, Cleo King, Rondi Reed, Nyambi Nyambi, and David Anthony Higgins.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you still like the Mike & Molly TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a sixth season?
They fought the odds to stay one the air, after all the criticism about their overweight, and now…?? What, no more Mike and Molly? I didn’t like it at first but it grows on you. Billy didn’t give his career a chance! He’s already hosting a game show! Bad career move. She needs to slow down! Too many movies! People are losing interest in her Molly character. Her husband’s an actor too, you know. He kinda got left out in the cold. They all need to take a breath and rethink this before they lose the respect of their fans-… Read more »
Please cancel the show!!! Family fued requires a good runner up and this show is not it. If the purpose of this show is to get me off the couch to do some work, you have succeeded. If it is to make me laugh, …. NO! And tell mike to stop making fat sex jokes, because it’s not funny and disgusting to imagine.
Best show on TV!!!! So sick of all those reality shows they make me sick.Love the whole cast everyone makes the show no one is better than the other they’re all great. I think the people that hate this show are people that just love to see misery all the time shootings killing so forth its such a bore that’s all we see its very nice and very refreshing to see a good show on TV that just likes to cheer you up.
Hate it
I like Mike and Molly, but contrary to some of the other comments I love it when Nana, Peggy Carl, and Joyce are present and in that order. I find my biggest laughs come from there lines. I tend to like Carl because he the complete opposite of Mike and help give a different outlook than just the overweight angle. I like Peggy because it help gives us a look at why Mike is overweight it makes you thinkthat as a child he used food as a coping mechanisms to deal with mom, and Cleo King (Nana)is just funny as… Read more »
I really didn’t like the show when i watched the pilot but now I love the show! my only complaint is Carl(Reno Wilson) he just doesn’t fit the roll well at all! he’s super annoying and just doesn’t play the roll well. Its like he’s trying to hard or something idk what it is? not to mention he looks like a short little black peanut with weird eyes. I just don’t like him! they could have casted anyone but him! He’s not a skilled actor, he makes mike look like the worlds best actor! Please cbs think about switching out… Read more »
ABSOLUTELY LIVE THIS SHOW!!!!
Since there are very few half hour comedy shows on prime time at night like there used to be in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, the few that are still on I accept because otherwise I would have no hurmor to watch. Being 68, retired and disabled, need something to cheer me up once in a while. Even though Mike & Molly isn’t as funny as it once was, as well as Two Broke Girls, a little bit of laughter is better than none! Now “MOM” and “Last Man Standing” as well as Modern Family and The Middle and About… Read more »
RENEWED. I just started watching it and love the writing!!! It is so funny. Thanks CBS
Haven’t watched an episode since I turned off s4e01. The first three seasons were funny as hell, fat and funny was great to watch. Fat and obnoxious is awful to watch! Kicking all the characters to the curb so the fat lady can play a writer, ugh really. This show needs to go back to the original script, redo ver. 3 or die a quick and merciful death. The ratings keep going down, but it’s a cheap set so it will probably stick around. That or the head of CBS is a chubby chaser!
Hope this show ends soon. Such a waste of airtime. Molly is like the boar barr [Rosanne], she needs to go and go far. She is trying to make it because of who her cousin is. She has no talent.
Rex,
Where have you been the last few years???? Melissa Mccarthy is much more in demand in hollywood. She makes at least one if not two or three movies a year and just signed to play in the new all female remake of Ghostbusters. She is funny and super talented. I have nothing against her cousin Jenny but I can’t name the last movie she was in. BUT I sure can name Melissa’s. St. Vincent opposite Bill Murray.
Amen brother
Yeah. I didn’t realize she was related to Jenny McCarthy. I’d read she had to go to acting try outs and work her way up. Right! I’ve lost interest now. She’s making too many movies and he’s a game show host. No more Mike and Molly for me!
Mike and Molly was once the funniest show on TV. They’ve ruined it ever since Melissa McCarthy had a couple of box office hits and she took over. They completely changed her character and this entire story line of her being a writer is idiotic. Molly is no longer a sweet likable character. She’s a crazy whack-job! The show is now loaded with “fat lady fall down go boom” humor. Cheap Chevy Chase type B.S. that I can’t stand. Most of the characters on the show have to be stoned or drinking wine….really stale! Okay, we get it….they’re alcoholic hippies.… Read more »
I have always liked Mike and Molly and am really enjoying where they are going with it this year. Mikes mother needs to be on a little bit more as well as Molly’s sister. Two Broke Girls I am on the fence right now. I could go either way, but would be upset if M&M went away. I am 68 and disabled and TV is my life!
Was funny once. No longer is.
We love it. I HATE Two Broke Girls! Can’t believe it’s still on or was renewed.
agreed! two broke girls is complete and total garbage! who is writing this stuff? heck, maybe illl start writing for cbs, its obviously not to hard to get your script bought by cbs lol just look at two broke girls.
this sh*t show is still on? almost as bad as BIG BANG THEORY
typical middle america humor that is bland and easy to spot
and the amount of LOOK I AM FAT jokes in the promos alone make me want to go on a permanent DIET
Wow on a hate fest hunh!
Wow, typical Middle America humor huh??? Well at least we know how to laugh at ourselves. We embrace our differences and love ourselves and each other even though we aren’t perfect. I hope and pray you stop hating so much!
be more of a christian it doesn’t matter about their weight, would you like it if they were played by oh I don’t know Pamela Anderson and lets say Brad Pitt come on this show represents real people not fake.
