CBS pulls comedy season-ender because of tornado

Show too true to real-life events in Oklahoma, where giant tornado killed dozens

Last updated:

CBS has taken the scheduled season-ending episode of Mike & Molly off the air because its plot line revolved around a tornado threatening the couple.

The network said it replaced the comedy with a re-run on Monday out of sensitivity to victims of the deadly tornado in Oklahoma.

CBS said the show’s season finale will air “at an appropriate date.” The plot had the two lead characters confessing important news to one another as a tornado threatens Chicago.
