Originally scheduled for 9:30 p.m. Monday, the third-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."

A two-mile-wide tornado hit suburbs of Oklahoma City on Monday afternoon, prompted by a severe storm system that hit the area Sunday.

CBS renewed "Mike & Molly" for a fourth season, which will receive a midseason premiere.
