- Did you know that it was rumored Mike & Molly was canceled because one of its stars had lost too much weight, and that the show’s final season was only 13 episodes long? From 2010 to 2016, Mike & Molly was one of America’s favorite sitcoms. The show followed the exploits of a married couple that met while attending an Overeaters Anonymous meeting. As compared to previous marriage-based sitcoms, like King of Queens, both of Mike & Molly’s titular characters were equally overweight. The show lasted for six seasons, but it arguably could’ve lasted longer if it weren’t for the popularity of one of its main stars.

When Mike & Molly first came on the air in 2010, star Melissa McCarthy wasn’t nearly as popular as she has since become. At the time, Melissa was best known for her supporting performance on the program Gilmore Girls. Melissa played the supporting character of Sookie St. James on the program for all of its seven seasons. Mike & Molly was able to secure Melissa for a fairly reasonable sum due to the fact that she wasn’t a huge star. She signed a six-year contract, and the show ended up lasting for six seasons.
In 2011, Melissa McCarthy was given her breakout role, which came via the film Bridesmaids. The movie turned her into a star, but the actress was still stuck in her Mike & Molly contract for another handful of years. By the time that the six years of Melissa’s contract were up, the actress was a full-blown movie star. Because of this, renegotiating her contract proved a difficult prospect. Join Facts Verse as we explore the reason why Mike & Molly got canceled.

I enjoyed this show tremendously. I don’t care what they weigh, they were and still are great actors.
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for the actors! Which episode is the most memorable for you?
I don’t think it was do to weight loss, but, each of the younger actors that were moving on and,this was Melissa McCarthy’s first tv roll and, she wanted to move onto acting on the big scene! Then, the lady who played her sister was getting her own series on NBC. Then, the lady that played her mom and others that came on there for guest roles were well known actors and, actresses and, so, was Billy G. and, he has also now lost a lot of weight and, he has a new series Bob Hearts Abisola!
@@sonyafox3271 But he doesn’t look good with his weight loss. He looks sickly. I enjoy Bob ❤A . I’m happy he lost the weight for health reasons, I guess.
I agree!
@@renayfeaster2331 I thought the same thing. I am a long time fan of Billy Gardell and for health reasons, I'm glad he dropped weight but he does appear sickly. Unlike when Melissa dropped weight when she was still on 'Mike & Molly' and looked healthy. Mike & Molly was a great show and I never thought it was cancelled due to Melissa's weight loss. It was never really a ratings smash for CBS (who knows why...great cast!) however, it still held its own in the ratings and is even funnier in reruns.
I loved Mike and Molly. I was heartbroken when it got canceled. I still watch the reruns all the time.

@@FactsVerse Loved them all but
My favorite was when they got married.
Me too
We could be kindred sisters!
Actually it is amongst my favourites. I love the episode where Mike and Joyce have the bar brawl. So funny.
I'm a brit and I loved this. His mother with her dog was bloody hilarious.
When Peggy got mad at Vince and went to beat him up, that was gold. I couldn't stop laughing
Love this show! I miss "Mike and Molly" so much! ❤️
Me too
Me 2
This show is on every Saturday and Sunday, it's on TV LAND😊

I liked the show. You?
Us too! Which episode is your favorite?
@@FactsVerse all of them
Loved Mike and Molly
@@FactsVerse When Molly got money and bought the Charger . A lot of good ones.
I have all the seasons on DVD
I watched this show and liked it. It improved tremendously when they cut way back on the "fat" jokes and concentrated on the interactions of the quirky characters.
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, who is your favorite cast member?
Thank God for reruns, I can still enjoy the show even though it was canceled.
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
I miss this show so much! Real people, dysfunctional family, so relatable. Loved the whole cast! Loved the friendship between Mike and Carl, Vince and Joyce, Nana, and of course Victoria and Samuel. Never be another. All great actors in one sitcom, su h a rarity! Wish they would make another that would match this one! ✌️
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
@@FactsVerse I liked their first date, " that nose hair was driving me crazy". I also liked episodes with Carl, and loved Vince. The one where Vince hurt his back and she was trying to get him out of the tub was hysterical 😂
I wasn't a big fan of her character but all the rest were the incredible ones. I would watch a show just with Vince, Peggy, and Nana. I've got relatives that are all versions of those characters
@@patticampana9458 any episode with Vince, Peggy, or Nana was going to be a riot
I watch it every Saturday and Sunday on TV Land from 1:00-7:00 pm ET
I actually loved this show!! It was so funny 😂😂 I liked it because it was real. No pin thin lead stars. Two larger stars that made it more relatable. Size doesn't matter and this show proved it. Happy Tuesday 😊
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
Pretty sure Carl Winslow was fat . So was king of queens as was John Goodman and Roseanne.
She won an Emmy for her performance on Mike and Molly.
Melissa McCarthy deserved the Emmy. She's a very talented actress. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I don't care how it was cancelled. I want them to come back and continue the family life. I watch them very weekend on TV Land and wish they would have a come back.
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
I love them all. Its really hard to pin point which one.
I loved this show and watch in in reruns to this day. If they were going to bring back a show I wish it would be this one. The cast were awesome, the ploy lines were easy to followed and the show was funny as hell.
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
I LOVED this show and just a few months after my mom died in 2011 is when Melissa won the Emmy (I cried when they announced her name) ... And it gave us the opportunity to release that the beautiful & hilarious Katy Mixon could be a comic lead of her own "American Housewife," gave Billy Gardell a chance to move on to "Young Sheldon" & "Bob Hearts Abishola" plus having his own incredible weight loss journey. And lets not forget outstanding supporting roles played by Reno Wilson (Carl), Swoozie Kurtz (Joyce), Rondi Reed (Peg), Nyambi Nyambi (Samuel), Louis Mustillo (Vince), David Anthony Higgins (Harry) & my personal favorite, Cleo King (Rosetta). Plus, I love the fact that they had to put a grey wig on Rosetta as her real age was close to Reno's.
Peggy and Nana stole the show!
Loved this show, the cast was amazing. I think the storyline would have been incredibly funny adding kids to it.
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for the show! Which episode is your favorite?
@@FactsVerse please can you help me with the season 6.
Love everyone in Mike & Molly. Nana’s (Cleo Kings) zingers towards Carlton (Reno Wilson) were epic. The fact that Cleo had to wear a wig cuz Reno & Cleo were nearly the same age shows what “acting” means. I didn’t hear rumors about why Mike & Molly were cancelled but a M&M reunion is “PAST DUE”! Rock on - Billy, Melissa, Reno, Kathy, Swoozie, Rondi, Louis, Nyambi, David, Kathy (Bates), Holly & of course “Jim” who was actually a female. REUNION PLEASE🤙
I Really Loved that show, wish it wouldn't have ended.☹️
I loved this show!!! We still watch it every time it's on!!! Mike's mother, is so hilarious!!!!!!!!!! She was great!!!!!!! Vince was hilarious also, loved him!!!!! Bring back HUMOR, we need it NOW!!!!!!! 2022..❤️❤️❤️..

I still watch it….it brought me through some sad times, and I’m forever grateful for that! I did hear the rumors, but figured it was not true…
Thank you for this video, for Mike & Molly will always bring belly laughs through streaming!!

@@FactsVerse The wedding. One of the best shows and they cancelled it!!!!
Melissa McCarthy is WONDERFUL actress. I watch EVERYTHING she is in
I love Mike and Molly and I still watch all the reruns every single day! I'm so sad that it's over and we didn't get to see their children grow! 😢😢
It was a great show, I miss it!
I miss Mike and Molly
We feel the same way! Which episode is your favorite?
@@FactsVerse Their is so many it's hard to pick one favorite. I guess when Victoria finally stood up to Molly.
I love Mike and Molly and I wish someone would do a movie on how their life is now with two children it could be wonderful!
Hell yes... I loved this show and have watched many re-runs
We loved this show, and the station letting it end was the Worst!!!! I loved all the characters!
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
I did hear that rumor that mike & molly were canceled because of their weight loss. Mike & Molly was hilarious! The episode where she gets high on cold medicine was so funny! We had it recorded so we watched it a lot. From the time she’s singing out her door, let’s go sweater boy, to the moment where she plucked out his bothersome nose hair.... nonstop laughs
Melissa was just the right person to play Molly on Mike and Molly
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Which episode is the most memorable for you?
What ticks me off is we start enjoying and loving and watching the hit constantly and then it’s yanked off and you put crap in its place
I loved this show and everyone in it too...Gosh this was real TV....
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
I really enjoy your videos. I watch them every day it seems. They are always well-scripted and the narrator does an amazing job. The only thing I wish for was that your video clips or pictures matched what the narrator is saying more often.
Let's face it, every show, being a mega super hit or otherwise, it will always come to an end. Let's just be happy that these days we can all rewatch and binge on the series we love over and over again via the internet... 😃😃
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for sharing your views on this. Which episode is the most memorable for you?
Extremely funny show! In many ways the secondary characters were funnier than Mike and Molly, especially the two moms! I miss it and it ended way too soon. There were many more laughs that we never got.
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
@@FactsVerse Honestly there were waay to many to pick just one! Just a wonderfully funny show.
This was my favorite sitcom
I really love the show. It would be nice if they would make a come BACK WITH THE BABY'S.I STILL WATCH EVERY DAY.
Both the star's were a great pair and maybe some day they will do a reunion show
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. Which episode is the most memorable for you?
That would be terrific !
I loved the show, it didn't matter to me about their weight. I just want them to be healthy. Every person I can think of didn't live long because of their weight. Cas Elliott from the Mama's and Papa's. John Candy and others. It's heart breaking when they die.
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
My favorite show of all times! I still watch the reruns daily ❤❤

@@FactsVerse Mike and Molly’s first date was HILARIOUS 🤣
Always enjoyed mikes momma! Hilarious woman. And then Mike and Molly were great, of course. Being set in Chicago was also nice. I’m tired of all the sitcoms being set in NYC or LA. We get a lot of crime, procedural, and drama’s set in Chicago but very few sitcoms. It just worked well here. I definitely miss the show!
The thing about that show is they could bring it back at anytime and just pick up where it left off and it would work just fine.
We love that show got my mom hooked on the reruns
I think that rumor grew legs because in the series, they never acknowledged Melissa's weight loss.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. Which episode is the most memorable for you?
This has become my favorite show! Makes me happy when I’m having a rough day
Loved this show the whole cast was brill
I love that show !! I'm mad that they stopped it
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
I always liked Mike and Molly. My wife and I enjoyed watching the show and loved the variety of characters that a part of the cast. I thought Melissa McCarthy was great in Bridesmaids as well and hope that she and Billy do well in their careers.
I began watching BOB❤️ABISHOLA because of Billy but Melissa was never that funny to me. She's better as a dramatic actor than a comedian
I watch all there reruns on 4 channels every day. Wish they would come back
No shade…but the series ending of Mike and Molly is EXACTLY the same series ending of King of Queens, just saying.
This is one show where all the characters were equally loved by me. If they took anyone of them away it would ruin the show. I really love Carl and his grandma's relationship.
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
Ghostbusters was a remake, not a reboot. A reboot would have the same people playing the same characters.
Thanks for clearing that up. I had no idea. It makes sense that the series And Just Like That is a reboot of Sex and the City, while 2001's Ocean's Eleven is a remake of 1960's Ocean's 11,
This was my all time favorite sitcom! I watch it over and over can't get enough.
I don't believe this is why they were canceled. Vince and Peggy Biggs, Louis Mustillo and Rondi Reed were histerical!!!
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
@@FactsVerse The last one!!! I cried like a baby.
I'm thin n I liked watching Mike n Molly. They were always talking with raw sense. N also the humility over liking themselves n just getting on with daily life. And the old bird n disfunctional sister n friends. Ace.
Love this show. Still look at reruns.
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
I love The King Of Queens. Doug and Carrie were a fantastic match for this sitcom. They were hilarious. A well written series that also ended with an adopted baby and then finding out Carrie was going to have her own. I like Mike and Molly because they kind of remind me s bit of King of Queens. The shows have similar qualities. Where one had a Father in law living with them (Jerry Stiller) and the other Mike and Molly had a mother that was always a big part of the show.
We're glad to know that you love King of Queens. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
Six seasons is a good run. I wish the last season had been a full 20+ episodes instead of just 13. 🙁
I should check out Mike & Molly sometime. But during the run of the series, 2013 was a big year for Melissa McCarthy. My favorite movies of hers are Identity Theif and Hangover Part III.
I soooo wish that Mike & Molly were still on.. I love them both so much! I still watch all the old episodes all the time.
Mike was adorable and loved Molly! Surely it wasn’t over her losing weight?
Great Show!! ❤️💙👍🏼👍🏼
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
I saw Melissa on a talk show and she said that the weight issue was the reason🤷♀️
Interesting, thank you so much for sharing this info. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
i really liked mike and molly and i have seen a couple of her movies and really enjoyed them
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
Do you know why Mike and Molly was canceled? Because the ratings went down every year and in the final season they were ranked 51st this nonsense about they didn’t renegotiate Melissa McCarthy‘s contract because they said it was going to eat up the majority of the money? That’s total BS because they were going to go to syndication and syndication is where the big money is…. And this was a Chuck Lorre show so how come the cast of the big bang theory another Chuck Lorre show was making like $1 million an episode? And on the big bang theory other than Johnny Galecki there were no real big names there, The difference being they had big ratings and they were climbing and staying high. No the reason why Mike and Molly was canceled was because the shell was dropping…
Love the show! The premise, the acting, storyline…
I loved how they ended it. It was a good close.
Us too! May we ask who is your favorite cast?
Weight loss could have been a whole topic on it own! Especially since they met at an overeaters anonymous meeting,adopting a baby and then actually being pregnant!
Melissa McCarthy mistakenly believes she has a wider appeal than she really does. I like her, but she is not as talented as her die-hard fans believe she is.
Also.. the show wasn't really that good.
Yeah I was wondering why Mike and Molly got canceled that was my show 💛💛💜💯
My wife and myself would like to see them put it back with new shows on.
Mike and Molly was a awesome show and I watch it whenever it's on TV. My boyfriend doesn't like it very much but he tolerates it because he loves me. He's more into cowboys than sitcoms lol 😂. But it's like in the series we found love with one another despite being different ages ( he's 75 and I'm 49.) We love each other and age doesn't matter.😊❤️💙
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
The episode where Molly had to take care of her mom's boyfriend because he threw out his back. That was hilarious 🤣. I also liked the episode where she was enforcing Christmas ⛄🎄 to the way she likes it.
A wise man once said . “When someone says it’s not about the money, It’s about the money. I agree with him
I had heard that it was because of her weight loss, but that didn't make sense. Anyway, she was terrific in "Can You Forgive Me?" I heard she's not always that nice to fans. That would suck.
I Love this show . I wish they would ❤make a comeback for a special . 😂❤😅

TVLAND every Sunday afternoon. Mike n Molly. Lots of episodes. Watching in Jamaica every week.
One of the better shows CBS has had on in recent years! They have kept on so many bad ones and this one was the sadly cancelled!
One of my favorite shows

I still haven’t see the last season of this! Does anyone know where I can see it in the UK?
Netflix, paramount or maybe even TH-cam. Ofcourse you have to buy the season
@@MarcoG353 no I checked, they’re not on any of the UK ones
HBO MAX, has all of Mike & Molly reruns. I watch it regularly. Love the Show
@@mariakelley1023 I don’t have that here in the UK that I know but it’s on Amazon prime video so all good!

All I know is I was one of this show's biggest fans and I miss it a lot. I watch reruns when possible. I had no clue why it was canceled. I figured it had to do with the new children somehow.
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
One of the best shows ever. Just a funny show without all the crap we have to deal with today. Cancel a good show like this & they keep the crap they show today. The cast was stellar.
I think they were the cuter, sweeter reflection of Dan & Rosanne without the depressing life style. I wish they had started their weight loss journeys while on the show as they both have successful losses & would have been a unique story line that no sitcoms has tackled.
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great day!
I love this show. They ate both beautiful. Dont care about weight. They both look good.
I would love to see a reboot especially with the children😂❤
Either Vince and Joyce or Victoria, Carl, and Nana. Maybe have a cameo from the others but centered around those 2 groups
Since Mike and Molly , Melissa lost something. I really don’t like her cursing it is not funny
I love Mike and Molly. I have watched all the shows. I'm still watching them. I love all Melissa's movies.

megan: i have an idea about two heavyset people trying to lose weight
producers: ok. let's do it
*megan loses weight*
producers: you're fired, the show is over
me: visible confusion
I thought it was canceling because of the mother not of Melissa. Tell the truth.
it's my all time favorite show!!
We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
I watch this show every morning and CACKLE LIKE A HEN!! omg it was so funny!!
There are several articles out there on why it ended. CBS lost its contact with Warner Brothers. Melissa and the rest of the cast wanted to go on. Facts
No I knew it wasn't because of her weight loss I knew it was because of how popularity that she was getting more and more famous and more and more people were reaching out for her to do movies she is a great comedian she's very funny and enjoy all her movies and I do miss Mike and Molly
Yes I liked this show just like them both. 🙏💪👍❤

We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
I thought that it was just time to end the show.
I fell in love with Mike and Molly b/c the show did not revolve around characters that resembled Barbie & Ken. There was not a character on this show that we could not relate to. I still watch it to this day. There will never be another show like Mike and Molly.
Anybody else notice CBS reuses the same people over and over in there shows.
Miss that mike and molly shower hope it can come back to be a show with as a family now 👍good happy show
