Ratings Review: MIKE & MOLLY (Season Three)

I would suspect that if you ask most people to rank the CBS comedies, MIKE & MOLLY would finish in 5th, out of the six that ran this past season. But, when you look at the ratings, it was a good companion series to lead out of 2 BROKE GIRLS. Its retention level was 80%, or better, on a large majority of the Mondays this season.

For the season, MIKE & MOLLY averaged 8.4 million viewers and a 2.5 rating for its 33 airings, which included nine repeat episodes. Even though MIKE & MOLLY is not on the fall CBS schedule, it will return, at some point during the season. In fact, if recent history is any indication, it could be back by November.
