CBS hasn’t made an official announcement yet but their Mom TV show has been renewed for a third season. Series writer Sheldon Bull broke the news on Twitter, writing, “MOM picked up for next year! Thanks, fans from all of us at MOM!”
On Mom, a single mom in recovery (Anna Faris) returns to live with her single mother, who’s also in recovery (Allison Janney). The cast of the show includes Sadie Calvano, Blake Garrett Rosenthal, Spencer Daniels, Matt L. Jones, Nick Corddry, Mimi Kennedy, and French Stewart.
Mom was a moderate success in its first year but, not surprisingly, the show’s ratings have improved this season as part of CBS’ Thursday night line-up. It’s currently averaging a 2.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.35 million viewers. It’s the only CBS scripted series to show season-to-season gains in both categories.
Mike & Molly has also been renewed for the 2015-16 season. The Big Bang Theory is one season into a three season renewal so executive producer Chuck Lorre will have at least three comedies on CBS next season.
What do you think? Do you like the Mom sitcom? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed? How does it compare to the other CBS comedies?
We love the show! It shows recovery pretty accurately. Of course with a twist. We were really touched with the announcement about addiction and recovery. Also the scene on I-5 when they pull over. (I don’t want to be a spoiler) We’ve lived it. Thanks and we hope you keep it funny and real.
Where are the minorities? I’ve noticed that there have been many opportunities on this show for you to include supporting characters with diverse backgrounds. You all have not taken those opportunities. As you work to write for the next season, I believe that this is something you should seriously consider. Also please work to make sure that these characters are not caricatures, and try to avoid perpetuating stereotypes. Thank you.
I love it
I absolutely love Mom. It’s well written and funny. It’s quality watching and it will be a huge disappointment to see it cancelled.
Absolutely renew. One of the funniest shows on CBS. Love it.
Being from the UK I usually do not find American comedy funny, but this is good…
Love love love the show!!! Wish I could be that way with my daughters !!!
I love it~
LOVE THE SHOW AND ACTORS! CONTENT IS REAL! IM A LOYAL FAN.
This is why I don’t get into any of your programs anymore, good shows you cancel all the time. If this show gets cancelled I definitely will stop watching your channel.
I agree 100%, im tired of them having a great show and then they pull it off the air, I’m getting tired of that
Love Mom. Please do not cancel!
Mom should definitely be renewed, it is so fresh and funny and real and dark I positively love that show. I cannot wait for season 3 I’m literally having withdrawal symptoms, Chuck Lorre is a genius a sitcom legend, no scrap that a sitcom God. Thank you for all the joy laughter and happiness you have brought into my life.
Live long and prosper
Sincerely
JJ
I greatly enjoyed this series, but need to change up story line somewhat becoming repetitive
I love this show. Can’t wait for new episodes to be available.
My wife and I enjoyed it, but had not been able to find it recently. Did not know what had happened.
