It was looking like Mike & Molly might be cancelled this time around but CBS has renewed it for a sixth season.
On 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 13 episodes of season five that have aired so far have averaged a 2.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.97 million viewers. Season-to-season, that’s down slightly in the demo but up a bit in viewership. It’s the sixth-highest rated sitcom on the network this season.
Mike & Molly producer Julie Bean posted an Instagram photo of executive producer Chuck Lorre delivering the news to the production team.
Mom has also been renewed for the 2015-16 season. The Big Bang Theory is one season into a three season renewal so Lorre will have at least three comedies on CBS next season.
What do you think? Are you glad that Mike & Molly is returning for a sixth season or do you think it should have been cancelled instead?
Mike and Molly is by far the best show on TV! It is funny and I cannot wait to see all the interesting things that will happen with a baby in the picture. Their entire family is a kick to watch.
Please keep Mike and Molly on. Is good clean fun. Hard to find now days. Love this showw
This is special because it’s very much a Game of Thrones saga in progress. Usually when a book or books are transposed onto the big or small silver screen; they are complete and the arc of the story is known. In the case of ” Game of Thrones ” the Author, GRR Martin has two books left to write to conclude the seven book series. Indeed in a recent interview he has not completely ruled out further episodes in the future. I must say I think Mr. Martin has boxed himself into a corner and will need to work on… Read more »
So glad you have decided not to cancel Mike and Molly. All the characters on that show are great! Cancel Two Broke Girls instead, can’t stand that show.
please keep mike and molly on the air,that is one of best shows on tv’chuck lorre is awhsome.everyone on that show is .funny.so when is the rest of season 6 going to be on?
I am so sad Mike and Molly are leaving us. The comedy ensemble was one of the best since Cheers and Seinfeld are off primetime. I believe Carlton’s grandma was a blessing as she made me laugh out loud each time she was on. The show was funny, true to everyday life for a lot of people. It is never too late to change your minds!
What is wrong with the big wigs cancelling one of the funniest shows on tv. What ever happened to Carlton’s grandma? Then give us a spin-off of anyone. They are all genius comics.
What is wrong with the big wigs – Mike and Molly is one of the funniest shows to come along since Cheers. What ever happened to Grandma? Then give us a spin off of anyone – they are all great
You want to cancel a show? Cancel Two Broke Girls. Never have I seen such a group of no talents who are about as funny as the hundreds of CSI and Law and Orders! Melissa needs to get her head out of the film’s butt and back where it belongs.. Mike and Molly. She’s funny but she’s not the whole show.
You are so right about Broke Girls – they stink
