Synopsis
Mike & Molly (2010) is a CBS sitcom you can watch online on iFILM — all six seasons. Chicago cop Mike Biggs and fourth-grade teacher Molly Flynn meet at an Overeaters Anonymous group. They came to lose weight. They leave with a relationship.
Billy Gardell and Melissa McCarthy make this pairing feel genuine from the first episode, which is harder than it sounds in a network comedy. McCarthy in particular brings a warmth and comic precision that made her career trajectory after this show entirely unsurprising. Mike's partner Carl and Molly's sister Victoria handle most of the broader humor, while the Senegalese waiter Samuel at their regular diner turns every diner scene into something worth watching.
The show ran 127 episodes through 2016, and it lasted because the writers trusted the relationship more than the premise. Mike and Molly's weight is part of their lives, not the whole point — and that choice is what separates it from a one-joke concept. Stream all seasons of Mike & Molly online on iFILM.
