After Tornado, CBS Pulls Plug on Sitcom

CBS wisely shelved last night's episode of Mike and Molly.​

Even though it was the season finale, the network said it was going to air it last night. 

“Due to the tragic events this afternoon in Oklahoma, we are pre-empting tonight’s season finale of Mike & Mollywhich has a related storyline," CBS said in a statement.

​The season closer featured a tornado hitting Chicago.

Here's the official description for the finale: "Mike and Carl get stuck working at the Renaissance Faire after their boss, Patrick, gets dumped by Mike's mother. Later, as a tornado descends on Chicago, Mike and Molly each confess important news to each other."

Instead, a Mike & Molly repeat will air in its place. The season finale will be broadcast "at an appropriate date."
