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?
i love this show, I bet I have watched reruns several times. I love the advice Carl gives Mike….it is so funny. Can’t wait for season 6. Hope mike and Carl are still partners. This show always makes me laugh. Mike and Molly make Monday fun.
i am so happy that mike and molly is still on would love to see molly become a mother and
to see victoria married with a child and carl married even if they marry each other
I agree with you Mike and Molly is the best sitcom ever and I think instead of trying to close it down because Melissa McCarthy lost weight you guys should have it as well she had a child and after the child was born her and Mike decided to become healthy and that’s why she lost weight you should go to use that she’s healthy now in the sitcom instead of trying to shut the sitcom down all because she decided to get healthy I love to see an episode where Mike and Molly finally get their dreams aa mother
I love this show, would’ve been disappointed had it been cancelled. This & The Big Bang Theory are”MY” favorite sitcoms broadcasting these days. Keep it up Mr. Lorre !!!
I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t like it… Love this show

My boyfriend n I love Mike n Molly, we are both so glad the show was renewed. We all need a good laugh at these trying times.
I love Mike n Molly every episode has my boyfriend and I laughing!!! It’s such a funny show and with times being as hard as they are we all need a good laugh.
Mike & Molly is my 86 yr old moms favorite show. So happy it was renewed. Now The Odd Couple #2 seems like a stretch to me. That show is BORING!!
I love Mike and Molly and mom and 2 broke girls and mom these are my favorite. Shows glad they are still on
I am so happy it is going to continue, I laugh out loud watching every episodec
I don’t know how many sitcoms CBS has, but “the sixth highest-rated” actually sounds pretty good to me. I’m surprised it was even on the chopping block.
Seven, if you count The McCarthys which is sure to be cancelled.
