CBS has pushed the Season 2 premiere of Mom to October 30.
Mom had been scheduled to return this Monday, but the network has decided to double up on Big Bang Theory after it helped new drama Scorpion open to impressive numbers.
Mom will still get its own Big Bang boost, as originals will serve as Mom‘s lead-in on Thursdays from Oct. 30. Mom will return to Mondays in early January.
Press release and updated schedule follows:
