There’s no need to worry that Mom will be cancelled this time around. CBS has already renewed this Thursday night comedy series for an eighth season. If the ratings drop far enough this year, could it be cancelled anyway? Stay tuned.
A multi-camera sitcom, the Mom TV series stars Anna Faris, Allison Janney, Mimi Kennedy, Jaime Pressly, Beth Hall, William Fichtner, Kristen Johnston. After years of questionable choices, Christy (Faris) is now sober and has her life mostly back on track — although she’s often tested by her mother, Bonnie (Janney), who’s also a recovering addict. Christy is well on her way to becoming a lawyer, while Bonnie is in a healthy romantic relationship and has just gotten married to Adam (Fichtner). Through it all, Bonnie and Christy rely on their support system from AA, including the wise Marjorie (Kennedy), wealthy Jill (Pressly), overly emotional Wendy (Hall), and Bonnie’s foster sister, ex-con Tammy (Johnston). Though dysfunctional, this family sticks together and helps each other no matter what life may throw their way.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like the Mom TV series on CBS? Are you glad it’s already been renewed for an eighth season?
I love this show. Mom is hysterically funny. It is my favorite show.
Writing for this show is exceptional. Allison Finney is one of the best actors around.
Love the show, love Tammy. Talented comedian!
I Love Mom. Keep it on.
Terrible decision to cold drop every fantastic supporting character from the roster ! Tammy is not funny here and focusing on 5 characters with exactly the same story line without the support of beloved supporting cast has taken all of the life out of this show . It would make sense to think about the audience who made this show a hit instated of a rash decision rendering a fav show dull and uninspiring . Very disappointing !
I know only 2 episodes have aired this season but where is the comedy? Why the emphases on Bonnie being a *****? Christie makes the show. my favorite show on TV.
Best show on tv is mom
Great show and excellent idea having Tammy a regular
Allison Janney is the most versatile a actress on TV. Just see all of her awards. I hope the writers can take MOM to another seasonal
theme. Otherwise, it’s been a great ride.
