This year, people have been paying it forward by paying for the customer behind them. While most links go to maybe 5 people at the most, a McDonald’s in Florida went all the way up to 250 people. That is right, two hundred and fifty.
According to Bay News 9, Torie Keene told Marisabel Figueroa that she wanted to pay for the meal for the person behind her on line at the drive-thru. She only had one request, that the manager say Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays. The person behind Keene was so shocked and thrilled about what the person in front of them did that they did the same thing. This kept going and going until Figueroa got the 205th car. That’s when Figueroa said the speechless woman was like, “‘What do I do?’ And I said, ‘You just have a Merry Christmas,’ and she went off, and it stopped right there.”
Still this is very impressive. I hope for more stories in the news like this one because we need to hear more happy stories that restore our faith in humanity airing during our newscasters. I am sick of all the death and destruction they keep reporting about over and over again. Who’s with me?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW79qVEBVa4 Rondi Reed, who plays Mike’s mean mother on Mike & Molly, took to Facebook to announce that not only will the 6th season of the Emmy winning show be the last, but that their episode order was cut from 22 to 13.
Before you hear it elsewhere (and some already have) this is the Final and 6th Season of MIKE & MOLLY on CBS. It is also a shortened season (13 episodes) after the announced full renewal of 22 episodes back in March by the network. We are done taping as of January 27th 2016 and I am not sure exactly when/if the episodes will all be aired. The network has it’s reasons, and I will not get into a debate, discussion, or campaign to get them to change their minds. Other venues were explored by WB and Bonanza Productions (Chuck Lorre) after CBS announced their intentions, but did not turn up a future for our show. It is a fact and we have known for a few weeks. I remain extremely grateful to have been a part of this and to have worked with a fabulous bunch of folks over the years. I have learned a lot about many things, including the Business we call Show. Also grateful for all the fans and for the personal support I have received over the (almost) 6 seasons. Stewart Talent has guided me every step of the way on this journey and for that I am also forever grateful.
I don’t know what CBS is thinking, this show has continuously done well for them even though it never had an air date nor got any publicity. On top of that, it is a much funnier comedy than their unfunny Life in Pieces and Angel From Hell that lives up to the last two words in the title. CBS doesn’t get comedy and I don’t get them. Well, I guess I do. If Mike & Molly was a procedural where Mike and Carl solved murders every week instead of just driving around in their squad car, then it would still be on the air and not filling time while Survivor is on break.
So if you are a fan of the show, make sure to watch on its new night Wednesdays at 8:30p starting on January 6th.
UPDATE: Billy Gardell, who plays Mike, Tweeted that is the last season too. He said, “Mike and Molly returns Jan 6, it will be our last episodes. There are 13 of them. Thank you everyone who supported us. 🙏🙏❤️❤️”
UPDATE: Melissa McCarthy just Tweeted about the cancellation, “I was shocked and heartbroken when @CBS canceled #MikeAndMolly. I would have shot this show for 50 more years. I’ll miss my 2nd family.”
Fez, Kelso and Hyde reunited yesterday. Even though it has been 35 years since they hung out on Foreman’s basement, Wilmer Valderrama, Ashton Kutcher and Danny Masterson look as close as ever. So much so that Jackie’s husband called two men besides him, “Fam!”
Just days after Dance Moms started filming season 6, news broke that Abby Lee Miller was indicted on alleged fraud charges. Some of us wondered if they would include her legal woes in the show. Today, Lifetime released the first look at he upcoming season and the answer is yes. How much and how far, we don’t know. We will just have to tune in starting January 5th.
Looks like legal problem isn’t her only problem. It seems like all of the moms, yes all of them, are getting sick and tired of her antics.
To make matters even worse, according to Deadline, Miller sent out a newsletter saying that she might be missing from a few episode. She claims that she got in a fight with a producer who wanted her to a teen pregnancy dance routine with a fake baby bump. She said, “When a grown man tells me he wants one of my kids to portray a pregnant teen and wear a baby bump — I have to put my foot down…If that means not moving my foot and not working and getting fined in the process, well that’s a risk I am willing to take to protect my girls.” Then she added, “I am always teaching principles, integrity, and values in addition to dance technique. It is important for me that the girls learn to stand up and fight for what they believe in!”
I guess I am watching a different show than the one than the one she is watching.
I wonder how much longer Lifetime is going to put up with her. If I were them, I would pull the plug. Although, if the feds get their way, the network might not have a choice.

This news should come as no shocker, NBC announced today that they picked up Chicago Med for five more episodes. The third show is the Chicago franchise is the best medical drama since ER, so I am thrilled it is sticking around all season. At this rate, it will be back next year too, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet.
If you did not see this week’s episode, you need to stream it online or watch it OnDemand. They did a great job handling the question what if everyone carried a gun with them. It is a question many gun enthusiasts have asked, and this show brilliantly answered it.
