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 hope they never cancel this show. It’s the best show on tv period.
Keep waiting for new shows of Mike & Molly, but keep viewing old ones, over & over & over
I am so happy Mike and Molly is returning for another season.
I love Mike and Molly! I think it’s a great show & should go on for several more seasons! I DVR all of them including reruns. Can’t wait till it’s back!
I also think 2 broke girls, MOM, and the Odd Couple are freaking hilarious and those shouldn’t go anywhere either!
I think Mike and Molly lost its charm when Molly quit teaching and started writing. She was the stable one and her character seems to have no direction now which to me changed the dynamics of the whole show.
I have to agree with you there!! I was excited for them when they were going to have a baby, then it disappeared completely from the storyline, and then this. I loved the first 4 seasons, but season 5 is lacking something.
Yes awesome show and should be renewed for another season.
Why does Cbs cancel such good shows. Please leave it on tv.
I absolutely love Mike and Molly and “all” the cast!! I am thrilled they are back on again for another season and cannot wait!!!
mike and molly is a wonderful show it is the only show on Monday night worth watching, except for Fargo. I have not enjoy mc’s movies too much cussing and not very funny but on her tv show she just shines as do all the supporting cast.
I completely agree… too much profanity in MM’s movies… cussing just isn’t funny. It might be what sells but that’s not a good thing. However, I love Mike and Molly… the whole cast is phenomenal! I will truly miss it… when it’s over. I still think they should try for a “spin-off”. Jana
Why does Jana think that this will be the final season for Mike & Molly?
I hope CBS is looking at all the comments here from so many M&M fans – I do not understand why they would even consider cancelling this wonderful, timeless comedy show? Please bring Mike & Molly back soon – the fans love it and PLEASE let us NOT have any more discussions about the show being cancelled. Let us instead begin a campaign to keep the show on for a LONG time!! If you agree, tell it to CBS.
Happy Holidays!!.
I was hoping to be wrong… but, I was right. Mike & Molly is my favorite show! Makes me sad they are cancelling it. Bad move.
One of the best shows on TV!! It is so funny – the best writing and wonderful actors!! I never miss the show. Please bring it back as soon as possible.
I don’t know what prompted the decision to postpone Mike & Molly until 2016, but I’m certainly disappointed. There’s 3 holiday episodes (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas) that will be missing from the season, and that’s pretty harsh punishment for this M&M fan! I was looking forward to those and I’m sure I’m not alone. What’s going on, guys????? Throw us a crumb, here. Can you at LEAST tell us when the season premier will be? Please? Pretty Please?
This is going to be the last season of Mike and Molly (6th) – most likely… which breaks my heart. I LOVE this show! I hope they realize that a spin-off is definitely going to be needed to fill it in. M & M has a loyal following… but, I got to say some of the movies coming out with MC are not near as funny… as they seem to think they are. I don’t know why people being cussed out or put down is FUNNY. It’s not! These movies would be so much better – if they kept in… Read more »
I love the show. I am waiting for it to come back on!!!!!!
Get rid of MOM, Super girl ,Odd couple and the stupid Broke girls and bring back Mike and Molly!!!
Amen!
I can’t wait for the new season of Mike and Molly. I’m so excited, its like waiting for santa. I would be heartbroken if Mike and Molly were canceled. I have several episodes in my DVR.
Please bring Mike n Molly back! They make me smile and laugh even when im sad!
