As expected, the Mom TV show has been renewed for a fifth season on CBS. The Thursday night sitcom will return as part of the 2017-18 broadcast season.
On the Mom TV show, Christy (Anna Faris) is a single mom in recovery who’s returned to live with her single mother, Bonnie (Allison Janney), who’s also in recovery. Christy is tested daily as Bonnie tries to make up for all the ways she’s let her daughter down. Christy is further challenged by her relationships with her own kids, Violet (Sadie Calvano) and Roscoe (Blake Garrett Rosenthal), and Roscoe’s dad, a former slacker named Baxter (Matt Jones). To help her stay sober, Christy relies on her support system from AA which includes her sponsor Marjorie (Mimi Kennedy), wealthy sponsee Jill (Jaime Pressly), and her emotional friend, Wendy (Beth Hall). Christy tries to remain positive but it always seems like an uphill battle.
The fourth season is currently averaging a 1.49 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.55 million viewers. Compared to season three, that’s down by 14% in the demo and down by 5% in viewership. Compared to other series, that’s a reasonable season-to-season decline.
Mom is CBS’ sixth-highest rated scripted series and will be back for 2017-18.
What do you think? Do you like the Mom TV show on CBS? Are you glad that this series has been renewed for season five?
I LOVE The TV show Mom… I look forward to watching it every week, and if I am not able to watch it you can bet that I will have the DVR set to record it.
I love this show! I have watched this series since season one. I am looking forward to season 5. Thanks for renewing.
Love this show, have been a viewer since the beginning. Thanks for another year.
Great show. Looking forward to Season 5
So glad, when i saw it coming to tv land thought it wasn’t gonna be renewed thought that only happens when shows are over…yay love winter television in Maryland
Mom is definitely my favorite show and I pray that it has a long future ahead of it. I would be devastated if it let the air.
I am so happy it’s coming back!! Mom is one of my favorite shows, people can relate to it, it’s everyday problems that we the audience go through. So yea I’m super excited
Yes, I love the show. It’s more down to earth, which I feel is a good thing. Everyday problems that a lot of real people have to deal with! Keeping the same day and time slots I feel helps a good show to stay on better. When days or time changes, I think people have a tendency to think it was cancelled or forget it’s on. Too many channels these days. This show always keeps me laughing, and that’s what a comedy show should be able to do. Thank you for this show and I hope it stays on another… Read more »
The show has “jumped the shark” this season as the vulgarity has increased- the writers need to write smart instead of relying on ‘blue’ material- disappointing
