Last season, the ratings for the Mom TV show on CBS actually rose. Thanks to its demo numbers, the comedy was a top-three scripted series and ranked seventh in terms of average total audience size. Last fall, we were wondering if the series was on its way out. Now, we’re kicking off the sixth season wondering how long the Plunketts’ story will continue. Will Mom be cancelled or renewed for season seven? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A CBS sitcom, Mom stars Anna Faris, Allison Janney, Jaime Pressly, Mimi Kennedy, Beth Hall, and William Fichtner. The series centers on Christy (Faris), a single mom in recovery who has moved back in with her own single mother, Bonnie (Janney), who’s also in recovery. Bonnie’s attempts to make up for her failings can try Christy’s patience. After all, she’s working on her relationships with her own kids, as well as working toward a new career. Meanwhile, Bonnie is learning how to forge healthy relationships and still wonders what she’ll be when she grows up. Together, and with the help of AA, Christy and Bonnie spot one another along the road to recovery.
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 still like the Mom TV show? Should this CBS TV series be cancelled or renewed for a seventh season?
*2/5/19 update: CBS has renewed the Mom TV show for season seven (2019-20 season) and season eight (2020-21 season).

I am 58 and absolutely love watching Mom and so does my husband we love having a good laugh, there’s not a lot to watch it’s mostly reality tv which we are not into. We have just watched season 5 and can’t wait to see season 6 and 7. Please keep Mom going.
I am 38 i started watching “MOM” in season 4 and i love the show so much i bought all seasons to watch “MOM” from very first episode i love this show and each year i buy the next season this is a great show and getting rid of the kids was a great idea it made the show better and Tammy is a great addition she is hilarious keep renewing “MOM” it is the best comedy show and one of best shows
Im a 43 yr old woman and i really like mom. I miss the kids not being on and Baxter but Christy and Bonnie are great
Mom is my favorite show on TV! I love every episode & I’m 58 years old. I really hope it stays on the air for season 7!!!
Mom still remains my absolute favorite. I don’t fit into the 18-49 range. I’m a73 year old great grandmother and I get so much joy and laughter from this show. My 55 year old daughter loves it as well. We live about 1600 miles apart from each other but we constantly discuss and laugh over the phone at the antics of the Plunket family. I hope MOM will be renewed for a 7th season.
Best season after season 1! love it!
I’m a 69 year old Grandmother and my husband is 70 we BOTH love this show. There are so few comedies for anybody to watch anymore. Sick of watching creeps like the Kardashons on TV. It’s a stupid show…..BUT you might think of NOT RENEWING…….MOM???????? MOM only gets better every season. Keep it up. COMEDY’S we need and they are ONE OF THE BEST!!!!!
Love mom the series too!!!
