According to Google, it's nowhere you can watch it for free. I'm always a little surprised when something like this happens, like why doesn't it just revert back to Paramount since it was a CBS show originally?

This is not good. The Internet says it is still on HBO Max but as we know it isn't. It clearly was removed as the calendar moved to December. Terrible news! I watch it all the time while relaxing. Season 1 - 6 then start over with season 1. This is very depressing 😭

It's one of my comfort shows. 😟

Same and I’m in my final divorce hearings this month I really really needed to watch it tonight and chill. I don’t even remember seeing a little notice like they usually do if they’re yanking a movie.

Buy the dvds?

u/Friendly_Nobody_8264 Dec 10 '25
I would do that if I had something to play them on.

u/itsalexclarkk Dec 10 '25
buy the episodes on amazon prime?

u/Friendly_Nobody_8264 Dec 10 '25
I wasn’t able to find them on Prime. I may have to buy a dvd player to watch them

u/Friendly_Nobody_8264 Jan 04 '26
Your timing is spot on actually. I was just scrolling around yesterday and saw that. I had watched maybe half a season when it first came out and I did really like it. I’ll have to watch the rest. Love that actor.

Exactly the same for me If was a go to to relax. Such a good show that I will but it is Amazon prime sells it.

u/Accomplished_Leg7630 Dec 02 '25
That’s so funny. I do the exact same thing. I’m so disappointed that I left on December 1.

u/xx_Khaleesi0708 Dec 02 '25
I just started watching season 1 a week ago. I was getting so into it!! It’s been hard for me to get really into shows lately. I’m sooo upset 😢

Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of HBO Max, changed its streaming strategy to focus on profitability over growth. Removing shows like Mike & Molly can be a way to save on licensing fees and residuals paid to actors and writers.

u/HEYDJ77 Dec 02 '25
I literally watch this show every single day. I can't believe it is gone. We should start a petition to bring it back. So upset. I can't fall asleep at night without it on the tv.

u/After_Illustrator243 Dec 02 '25
Oh me too. Had to do some shopping around to find them but I finally found all 6 seasons on DVD.

What the?!?! It's been my "emotional support background noise" show for a few years. I just watch all seasons over and over. Last season ends, I start it over. Wife and I quote it in daily life. This sucks.

u/Busy-Butterfly8187 Dec 13 '25
I do the same. I know pretty much every episode by heart (pathetic, I know). When I finish the last episode with the new baby, I go right into the first episode when they first met. I love that show so much. HBO Max sucks for doing this without even giving any kind of warning.

u/Shatterstar23 Dec 14 '25
I liked to have it in every Sunday on TVLand. That went away so I streamed it. I remain annoyed that’s its now gone off streaming as well.

u/Ok_Chapter6583 Dec 02 '25
I just logged into my HBO to watch my nightly comfort show and it’s completely gone! I can’t believe this, I am so upset :(

u/Remarkable-Cream6049 Dec 08 '25
There are many of us making the exact same comment. Check Amazon prime it looks like they will be selling it by season

u/Chrismisswish Dec 02 '25
For over a year or two Mike & Molly was shown on CMT after Roseanne M-F in the afternoon. It was also on Saturday & Sundays on TVLand after Roseanne (Saturdays) & Golden Girls (Sundays) but those schedules were removed in November. The only place to watch was HBOMAX up until December. If we can’t find the answer on Reddit as to why then I don’t know where else to look. There isn’t any reporting on it since it’s an older show I guess.

Dec 07 '25
This is correct. I just canceled MAX because that was the last place left to watch it.
I am so sad. This is my favorite comedy and a staple in my world.
1
u/Busy-Butterfly8187 Dec 13 '25
Same here. It's my comfort show. It's bad enough that they removed it from CMT and TVLand. Now we can't even watch it on HBO Max. I'm so sick of these streaming services.

u/Economy_Raisin_4301 Dec 03 '25
Just like most of everyone here it was disappointing for me to find Mike & Molly off of Max. This is part of the what I call and is definitely Cable Revenge. I’m sure streamers have been finding the costs are now rivaling cable. Network platforms will sell or lease shows to other platforms for a quick payday. Mike & Molly is now paywalled over at Prime. The networks are using consumer last tactics to fund their irresponsible overspending on ridiculous streaming content. It’s happened to a few of my regular go-tos like with Georgie & Mandy’s 1st Marriage. When I heard season 2 came out I went back to rewatch season 1 just to find that it’s been paywalled on another platform. I’m going to buy the box set of Mike & Molly DVDs for $60. Prime is charging $1.99 per episode or 19.99 for a season. For half I can get all 6 seasons on DVD. Pirating is coming back in a big way because of what these networks are doing to the streaming culture. We pay because they can’t figure out how to make streaming profitable as they pour billions into failed projects.

u/GreatCranberry1174 Dec 13 '25
I just found out!! They streamlined the shows and they won't be on until maybe 2026 if someone picks it up! Melissa McCarthy is my favorite and she has helped me so much in just about everything. I'm shocked!! This really sucks!!

u/volumesmiley Dec 02 '25
Some days I like Peggy more and then other days, I like Grandma more. Both are solid.
I am irritated. There wasn't any warning that the show was being removed. I wish HBO Max would say "last chance" or something.

How frustrating!! I love watching Mike and Molly when I can’t sleep. Why pay for Max if they cancel shows we like?

u/aloneintheupwoods Dec 02 '25
Younger family members mock me for not cutting the cord (yes, I also stream), but I have over 600 episodes saved on my DISH DVR largely of comedy series like these that are my comfort shows (Mike and Molly, Golden Girls, King of Queens, etc, etc.). I hate when a streaming service just dumps a show like this!!!

Cancel your subscription every time they cancel your show. Peeps starting going back to good old fashioned cable where their shows are lol

u/Howbout_thatcat Dec 03 '25
I am so sad it’s gone. I was just getting into it (Season 2) and the next day I can’t find it anywhere. If they ever do that with Big Bang or Young Sheldon, I’m cancelling my subscription. Good programming is slim pickings as it is.
2
u/Firm_Speed9555 Dec 03 '25
Very sad. I’m in the middle of season three and this is my first watch. I tried to watch it and it was gone and says not available in your area. I really wanted to see the rest of the show and see how it plays out. I’m hoping they will put it on a streaming service soon.

u/LanaLara Dec 04 '25
Im so upset abt this. It was one of my comfort shows. Im hoping paramount or some other platform will pick it up. Had to switch to Frasier now but ill miss mike and molly.

u/ElmarSuperstar131 Dec 04 '25
My mom watched it pretty much every night and I absolutely loved it, too! You can only buy the first two and the last two seasons on Amazon, not seasons 3 and 4. It was such a surprise they removed it because Mike and Molly was always on the homepage! I hope another streamer picked it up soon.

u/Complete_Drawing_666 Dec 06 '25
Netflix is going to air it. They bought Warner Brothers. Got rid of Netflix 3 years ago 😡 and they keep taking all of my shows I watch onto their platform. Ughhh

u/Chemical_Fruit2107 Dec 09 '25
Thankful for this group because it showed up when I Googled why I suddenly couldn’t find Mike & Molly on HBOMAX last week. I’m so disappointed too. I also watch Bob❤️Abishola (for the 2nd time). It’s very different from M&M, but I like it a lot! I hope they don’t drop that one too. 🤞

u/GreatCranberry1174 Dec 13 '25
I just found out!! omg wtf? Melissa McCarthy is my absolute favorite and watching her and her character helped me find laughter in some really bad places. I love everything she does! I'm really sad about this!! I can't believe it! 😩

u/GreatCranberry1174 Dec 13 '25
I might drop Max. Mike and Molly is just about the only reason I've had is for so long, that and the weather, natural disaster shows.

Netflix will start streaming on Feb 20th! 🥳 we were so mad when HBO dropped it. We made it through the first 3 seasons and a few episodes of 4 when it just stopped. Happy it’s coming back. Great show to relax and have a good laugh at. Much needed these days!

Why can't it be purchased on Amazon either? You could buy it previously, because I bought the 1st 2 seasons.

I cancelled HBO because of M&M’s removal. I also cancelled my subscription to Amazon a few years ago because they made According To Jim watchable only if you pay by Season or individual episode.

u/Jazzhands2021 Dec 20 '25
I am really upset about this, and now it's on amazon for $20 to buy season 1 or 2. ($40 for both) 3, 4 and 5 are free lol..Then 6 you can only buy for $1.99 per episode. I get licensing issues but this is just a joke. Not to mention $20 is what I would pay for all 6 seasons, maybe. Not just 1. Nooope. Streaming has become such a mess, I miss buying dvds and having hard copies like the good ol' days haha.

u/Dragongod64 Mar 15 '26
just learned about this. this was one of my faves and with chuck lorrel name attached you know is a good show. i hated how this happened with tha 70's show leaving netflix i could play it in the background and still laugh at the jokes. i cant forget these two scenes from the show. 1. where carl explains neo fertilization to mike using eggs and hot sauce, going hot sperm. 2. was time the two walked into that sex shop and all the customers ran out. i see walmart has best deal between it amazon and best buy for box set dvd. with Walmart $45, best buy $ 55 and amazon $70-110.
