Mom is ending this week after eight seasons and 170 episodes. CBS has now released details and several sneak peeks for the sitcom’s finale. Melanie Lynskey is set to appear in the last episode after a recent appearance on Young Sheldon and a long-running role on Two and a Half Men, all series executive produced by Chuck Lorre.
Allison Janney, Mimi Kennedy, Jaime Pressly, Beth Hall, William Fichtner, and Kristen Johnston star in the Mom series which follows Bonnie (Janney) and a close group of female recovering addicts. Season eight found Bonnie her dealing with her daughter’s departure for the east coast.
CBS revealed the following about the final episode, titled My Kinda People and the Big To-Do:
“Bonnie gains a new outlook on her sobriety after dealing with difficult news. Also, Jill and Andy take a big step in their relationship, on the series finale of MOM, Thursday, May 13 (9:01-9:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Melanie Lynskey and Rondi Reed guest star.”
What do you think? Are you sad to see Mom end on CBS? Have you enjoyed watching this comedy series?
I really don’t understand Why they cancelled mom. For me I found I had a good laugh and looked forward every week to watch
Mom will be sorely missed in this household. We looked forward to it each week! VERY DISAPPOINTING.
I’m not happy to see it end. They should’ve made one more season because the show was still funny even without Anna Farris. All the other characters made the show very funny and I looked forward to the new episodes every week. Hopefully this great show will get picked up by another network.
I agree with the majority of the comments. This has been a really good show dealing with alcoholism and the benefits of AA. I am really going to miss the series and would love to see another network pick it up if the cast is willing.
I hate to see Mom end- it’s been good for so many people that face addiction and even those that don’t- making them wonder?
But it doesn’t surprise me, CBS cancels tge good shows and leaves on the bad!!!
I am sorry to see Mom being cancelled. It was the only show I watch on network tv. Maybe another network could pick it up and carry on
That’s what I’ve been hoping for, but while the cast seems willing, there are many other factors to take into account. I’m not an expert, but in addition to the cast being in agreement, there are licensing fees the new network must pay including a commitment of a certain amount of episodes, and Chuck Lorre, who’s pretty strict on what he does, has to agree to it. I could easily see the storyline being extended 2 more seasons.
Very sad it is ending..it gets better each episode…not many good shows to watch..need comedy now more than ever.
Mom is a show that has successfully evolved. It remains consistently funny with each episode. Despite the loss of one of the main characters, the dynamic of the remaining cast is perfect. Well-written and acted, it is one of only a couple of shows that make you laugh out loud. Definitely going out way too soon. CBS is going to have to work hard to find something as good as Mom. Sorry to see it go.
Figures that they end a show that actually shows real problems in a way thats not medical. Really been a great show and one that needs to stay on and show what people are dealing with in a easy to take way. Please bring them back.
I was hoping for one more season at least – a farewell season. The ending feels rushed and it doesn’t look like Anna Faris could be bothered to appear in the final episode, or perhaps not. I hope she does, it would be nice. I’ll miss the show. It had been entertaining me every Thursday for the last 7 years, following its schedule change after season one.
This is one of the best shows on TV Hopefully some other network picks it up
Congratulations to Janney for making Bonnie a thoroughly odious character. One that I’m glad to see no more.
Show was still very good but lacked “something” after Anna Ferris left the show
Actually thought it was a bit better without Chrissy.
Yes. I love this show. CBS should not cancel it.
No I am GLAD that it is ending
