TV show description:
Created in part by Chuck Lorre, this sitcom’s story follows an obese couple living in Chicago who meet at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting. She’s comfortable with the way she is, but he’d like to lose a little.
Officer Mike Biggs (Billy Gardell) has a good heart and really wants to shed the extra pounds. His thin partner, Officer Carl McMillan (Reno Wilson), seems to be the opposite. He’s always teasing Mike but underneath it all, Carl’s encouraging to him. They frequent a diner with a Senegalese waiter, Samuel (Nyambi Nyambi), who has no concept about dieting at all.
Molly Flynn (Melissa McCarthy) is a fourth-grade teacher who’d like to be comfortable with her curvy body. Her sister Victoria (Katy Mixon) and mother Joyce (Swoosie Kurtz) both have it so much easier. They have great figures that they don’t seem to have to work for and pay no mind about eating right in front of her.
Mike speaks up at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting and meets Molly after his speech. Neither came there looking for love, but they’re also not going to turn it down if they can find it. Mike and Molly are willing to try it and see if they can make it work.
Episode #127 — I See Love
Mike and Molly gather with family and friends for a momentous occasion and reminisce about everything that led to this point.
First aired: May 16, 2016.
What do you think? Do you like the Mike & Molly TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a seventh season?
Mike and Molly was one of my favorite shows. Shame on CBS for cancelling one of the best sitcoms on television. Melissa and Billy had great chemistry, along with the rest of the cast. I beg whoever made this horrible decision to continue the show.
I was not happy when the show was cancelled. that is an excellent show, without all the filthy & cursing that is in most shows now. finally a nice, funny good show & it’s taken off the air. A lot of people are not happy with that decision.. dumb move. I thought it would continue with them having children..could have gone on for years….who ever made the decision to cancel made a bad move.
i am very upset that mike and molly has been canceled. i don’t know if it was canceled because melissa mcarthey lost all that weight,(which is the rumor going around) but if it was because of her lost weight i think it was a stupid decision. all the characters on the show were great. you seldom get a good sitcom with this quality. as melissa has stated the ups and downs of loosing and gaining weight is a real issue with real people. i think it adds character to the show. portrays lives struggles. it is a good quality show… Read more »
Why would you cancel such an excellent show? I am an addictions counselor and the way you have handled their addictions is wonderful. By the way, addictions do not go away because a goal was achieved, meetings are still necessary. Please renew this show.
Can’t believe you would cancel the only show we watch. The best show ever. Pretty dumb on your part. Melissa is the best actress ever no matter what weight, she’s still hilarious.
This was probably the finest ensemble on TV. What a cast!!! I wish CBS would reconsider and bring it back. I will watch the past episodes in syndication until I die. It is the ONLY show that makes me continue to laugh no matter how many times I see the episode. Please, please, please…bring this GREAT series back.
It’s one of the better shows on television!!! I don’t care if she loses weight or not! He still is struggling and she will continue to struggle!! KEEPING weight off is harder than losing it!! Please reconsider!!!
Big mistake on canceling show. Why? Ratings are as good as they can get.Was it because Molly LOST weight? Was that what the show was about? The couple following a program to lose weight. CBS is saying that people should fail at following a regiment to become more healthy. What a slap in the face for people like me. Please bring show back.
My husband & I have watched the show right from the start. Obveiously we loved it & upset its going off the air. I really hope they reconsider and keep it on.
My husband & I really enjoy Mike & Molly. This is the only show we watch together. I hope they will reconsider and bring it back.
I THINK THIS SHOW IS A GREAT SITCOM RECONSIDER AND DONT CANCELLE
With all the really dumb comedy series that should be cancelled along with many reality shows, Mike and Molly was a refreshing addition to TV. I think it should never have been cancelled. BRING IT BACK PLEASE!
I loved everyone on the show except Molly. She seemed to think she was better than the others. Great show otherwise. Too bad they could not continue without so much of Mollie’s attitude.
don’t cancel funest show on tube.
I think cbs missed out on a marvelous chance to show the world that fat people can succeed at their diets and improve their health and Molly could try to motivate mike to succeed as well at living a healthy lifestyle!!!
