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?
What a shame – relatively clean comedy, genuinely good writing, and funny people making it work…. seems the viewing public prefers reality TV where absolutely no talent is required.
We will miss the program, as it was one of the few that we liked.
I just started to watch Mike and Molly ,love it please bring it back….
It was a great series, I wished they kept it
I can’t believe CBS cancelled mike and molly, so sad, what a wonderful TV show, I don’t understand why you can’t work it in where molly lost weight because she needed to in order to have a baby. Mike and molly could have went on for years, there was never a boring episode. You could have .made a episode where mike gets depression because he can’t lose the weight and then molly gets pregnant and mike snaps out of the depression. I mean working around her weight loss could have been done. Just saying.
This was a much better show than others still on the air. Some executive should jump at the opportunity to take Mike & Molly to their competitive network. Viewers will follow the show!
Sad to think that Melissa McCarthy losing weight to improve her health can cancel the show. The show should never have been cancelled as it is one of the funniest show on air right now.
I think the show should have gone on for another season. I love Mike and Molly. I’m not sure if I saw the last episode.
Wish they would not have cancelled it, very bad decision, it is not often that a sit-com hits home with so many. I will follow the cast in their future, not so sure of the station that cancelled it.
So sorry to see it cancelled! Why get rid of a good show
I do not think the show should have been cancelled. Bad decision.
Funniest recent show Best characters Producers always cancel the best programs and leave the junk on the air
Very sorry to see it cancelled, but not surprised. Seems network executives don’t really have a clue of what appeals to the general public. Thank goodness for Netflix & all the other alternatives that will, without a doubt, put commercial TV as we now know it, in the toilet.
Mike and Molly was a decent show and should not be cancelled.
It was a great show! It definitely should have been renewed
