Mike & Molly is joining the list of this year's canceled TV shows [1]. The news was first reported by one of the show's stars back in December, but CBS confirmed the news on Tuesday [2]. The original news made the rounds when Rondi Reed took to Facebook [3], informing her followers that the romantic comedy, starring Melissa McCarthy and Billy Gardell, would be coming to an end after its upcoming sixth season. Her message as follows:
"It is also a shortened season (13 episodes) after the announced full renewal of 22 episodes back in March by the network. We are done taping as of Jan. 27, 2016, and I am not sure exactly when/if the episodes will all be aired. The network has its reasons, and I will not get into a debate, discussion, or campaign to get them to change their minds. Other venues were explored by WB and Bonanza Productions (Chuck Lorre) after CBS announced their intentions, but did not turn up a future for our show. It is a fact, and we have known for a few weeks. I remain extremely grateful to have been a part of this and to have worked with a fabulous bunch of folks over the years. I have learned a lot about many things, including the business we call show. Also grateful for all the fans and for the personal support I have received over the (almost) six seasons. Stewart Talent has guided me every step of the way on this journey, and for that, I am also forever grateful."
Take a look at the TV shows that will be returning [4] this Winter.
