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.

What do you think? Do you like the Mom sitcom? Are you upset that the show’s return has been delayed? Do you like The Millers?
I dont like the new line up at all. I really looked forward to my Monday night shows with 2 Broke girls and Mom. Why would they change what works.
i like the Millers, Mom is okay- I will probably watch it if it follows or precedes another good show.
So glad to hear a lot of you like Mom as much as I do. CBS has always been my favorite network. I am a Canadian so probably have different channels and so on …I truly love my American friends … getting show times and delays of seasons premiers is a little more difficult for me.
After being through a lot of grief in the last two years,(loosing both my parents) has been tough, so I started watching Mom because it made me laugh!!! CBS please keep this show going!!! Laughter is a good thing for everyone!
CBS is stupid–I like Big Bang, but I LOVE MOM. I was so excited to watch the new season last week only to be completely disappointed. Needless to say, I turned the channel!
Have to agree with the last responses … why switch it up.. I tuned in last night to see a rerun of Mom.. and some other show was on. I do not like Big Bang Theory. CBS you must have a reason for changing the time.. perhaps against The Voice or Dancing with the Stars… none of which I like. Mom was a good night for me, so looked forward to seeing it.
Was very upset this morning to find that an old episode of Mom had been taped instead of the Season Premiere one–now I know why!! Grrr! And now we have to make sure to change the PVR again in January! Will wait impatiently for Oct. 30th. Here’s hoping it doesn’t change yet AGAIN!!
P.S. We’ll still watch Mom re-runs. They’re so much more entertaining than most of the comedies on now–including The Millers and Big Bang Theory!
Love the show Mom!!! Very disappointed it has been delayed… Was so looking forward to watching it Monday night, guess I’ll have to wait!
I like Mom and The Millers 🙂 Football makes way more money for CBS, both obvious and pathetic imo. I’m wondering when Mike & Molly will return.
I like Mom way more than The Millers, this is the first season that I have realized that everybody on The Big Bang Theory is irritating (I think I should stop watching). I do not like that they decided to delay Mom at the last minute.
Still mad about The Millers getting renewed and I hope it’s going to end after two seasons. Mom looks OK despite Allison Janney winning an Emmy. Can’t wait until October 27th for the new season of 2 Broke Girls to begin. CBS is giving Scorpion a boost on Monday nights and it should get a full season pick up soon.
You’re mad about a TV show being renewed?? Wow sounds like you’ve got issues
I’m surprised that so few people liked THE MILLERS. I think it’s hilarious w/more intelligent humor than some of the awful shows they call comedies (insert The Goldbergs here.) And too bad we have to wait so long for MOM to return. Just happy it IS returning.
While I find it nice that you feel “The addition of THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL provides the flexibility to strategically roll out our fall season in multiple waves, maximizing promotional platforms and scheduling opportunities to give our new and returning series the best possible launch,” said Nina Tassler, Chairman, CBS Entertainment. You completely messed up the airing of the brand new show that you probably spent quite a bit of money on all the advertising you did for Madam Secretary! I was so excited about seeing it and so I set my DVR, but I was so excited about it that… Read more »
This is horrible news, I don’t like watching the millionaire nerds and I don’t like the Millers, I think they are goofy, I wanted to use stronger language, but I won’t.
That’s ridiculous. Can’t wait for Mom. The only reason Big Bang Theory had so many viewers is because that is just about the only thing there was to watch other than football or Dancing with the Stars.
I really love the show Mom. It sucks it got delayed . But I’m glad it’s coming back. Cause I don’t want the show to end. Its a really funny show. I hope it never gets renewed again. I so happy it will be on again in the end of October for the new episodes.
CBS is trying to save Scorpion so it does not become this year’s Intelligence.A TBBT repeat will be a better lead in than Mom until Scorpion builds a following.
Really grew to like Moms. Happy to wait for it. Chasing it around during the week is maddening though. I won’t bother; will just use the DVR. Thought The Millers was horrible; abandoned it early and was shocked it was renewed.
