Nice =D!! Love Melissa McCarthy since Gilmore Girls =D!!!
FX? That’s certainly not gonna help with its slightly bi-polar (or tri-polar) brand.
Awesome show. (:
4 seasons granted? the show hit 2.9 after TAAHM. it won’t do great this fall, led-in by 2BG.

You make a season low of 2.9 sound bad; it’s not. Mike & Molly averaged a 3.7 this season, up ~10% year-to-year, and was the sixth highest rated sitcom overall (and the five ahead of it already have syndication deals).

TAAHM was a bad lead-in for Mike & Molly. The two shows are NOTHING alike. It might get better retention out of 2 Broke Girls.
Not a fan of this series. I could never get into it. I don’t hold it against Chuck Lorre though. He did create two of my favorite comedy series (2.5 Men, The Big Bang Theory).
I have always HATED TAAHM and it was awkward tuning in for 2BG, finding something to do for 1/2 hour, then tuning back into to M&M. It will be a better lead-in for sure.
ITA with @J.G. weird acquisition for the FX brand. Much better suited for TBS.
Dude need to lose weight.
All Chuck Lorre shows are alike in terms of style and humor, and Two and a Half Men’s ratings were so high in the Fall that its lead-out was always going to see its ratings improve.
Never watched the show, but judging by that photo the main guy needs to lose some serious weight. Melissa is regular-people-fat but he just looks horribly unhealthy…
Billy Gardell has lost serious weight. The above is a promo from the pilot, and he’s lost something like 50lbs since then. He’s still huge, though.
That’s a very interesting pick for the network… would not have guessed that one.
I wonder what network will grab Whitney when its syndication time comes up.
well deserved, i wonder how much they get for syndication
FX should also pick up New Girl.
FX seems to be learning that to be a big ratings success, quality is not the way to go. We won’t be seeing any more Louies or Terriers in FX’s future.

WE network or Lifetime?
Cool news about Mike & Molly, it’s and okay show. 2.5 Men & TBBT are better.
Carl is my favorite part of M&M.
