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 am so happy that Mike and Molly is renewed for another season. Hope it continues for years!! Love the show!! All the characters are great, love the dialog between them. I look forward to the show every week and all the repeats.
we think tat is great and will be watching
I am so thrilled that Mike and Molly is coming back. I watch it in syndication all the time but look forward to the new episodes for even more fun.
Mike and Molly should be renewed. It’s our favorite sitcom and we haven’t been able to find it on CBS. It was on at 8:30 and haven’t seen it in months.
Mike and Molly is the best sit-com on television, please do not cancel this fantastic show and please hurry up and start the sixth season. I love Mike and Molly-it has the best cast on tv.
I think this show it one of the best comedies I have ever seen! I have A.D.H.D/Depression and I look forward to seeing Mike and Molly plus while I am watching Mike and Molly it is almost like my depression doesn’t exist. Thanks for making one of the best if not the best comedies ever. We still need to see the reruns on CBS’s Monday night lineup @ 8:30pm
I think Mike and Molly is the BEST comedy show on television and I cannot imagine why CBS may have cancelled it. It is unique, soooo funny, and the characters play so well together.
I hope to see this show continue for a very long time! I especially think it should run a few more years because it is a timeless comedy like I love lucy, Everybody loves Raymond, even the Golden Girls. This is a show that will become timeless for this generation. I even watch the repeats on Channel 10 and 53 in NYC. Good decision CBS!!
Love the show when does it start
I love it! When does it start? I can’t wait.
I love it!
Excited that this show will return. I’m SOOOOOO TIRED of reality and the summer crap that I almost cancelled my cable (by the way, so is everyone else that I know). Most of this year’s television programs has brought back the old art of reading. This is a nice, belly laughing show that doesn’t make the characters seem unfeeling or stupid. Yea! I’m really pleased.
Yes!!!! One of my favorites!Happy it’s back!
I love this show. Especially the first two years. I thought it was hilarious. The interactionshows between Carl and his grandma.
I’m so happy cbc renewed Mike & Molly Love this show
I am SO happy to learn that Mike & Molly has been renewed for another season. Great cast (mostly).
