Mom Season Two Delayed, The Millers Returning Early

Following the ratings success of Monday’s double-helping of The Big Bang Theory, CBS has decided to air a pair of episodes for the next three weeks.

This will result in the delay of season two of Mom. The sitcom had been scheduled to return this Monday but now won’t be seen until October 30th.

Season two of The Millers had been slated to kick off on October 30th but that’s been moved up to October 20th.

There are some additional schedule tweaks listed below.
