2 Broke Girls' 迷失 Season 7 Casting Surprise: Cher as Max's MIA Mother 

If only they could turn back time…

, which was cancelled by CBS late Friday after six seasons, had been in very preliminary discussions with Cher to guest star in a potential seventh season as the MIA mother of Kat Dennings’ Max, TVLine has learned exclusively.

The character was originally intended to debut at the end of the series’ just-wrapped sixth (and now final) season, but exec producer Michelle Nader confirmed to TVLine at the time that casting issues forced them to delay her arrival. “We didn’t find the right person,” Nader said. “We’ve waited a long time to [meet her], so it’s got to be somebody amazing.”

Sources tell TVLine that there are no current plans to find

a new home, which means we’ll likely never get to see Cher (or any other actress) play Max’s mom. It’s probably little consolation, but TVLine has obtained the original casting breakdown for the role. The notice was released prior to Season 6’s 18th episode, which is when Max was originally slated to be reunited with her mom.

Oh what the heck I hope they do send it to Netflix

I think the Playboy channel might be more appropriate. :)

Yet another reason to be mad at CBS. They should change their mind and order up some episodes. I am gonna think twice on starting up any new shows from them. I require a proper ending on any show that’s in it’s 5th season or later.

It had gotten tired, but still, I am sad about this. I’d like to have seen an abbreviated season to wrap it up. It’s better than other comedies CBS renewed.

Stop canceling all the good shows and bringing new crap on so you can cancel that to. Not going to start watching new shows. You kept stupid shows like Goldbergs, Speechless, Great News and cancel good shows. You networks have no idea what you are doing.

If it was an arc story line, my choice for Max’s mom was Paget Brewster. @pagetpaget definitely has all of the above requirements. BTW, shouldn’t have been canceled and I hope goes to Netflix.

Has Netflix ever saved a freshly cancelled broadcast sitcom…?

Kimmy Schimdt is the closest that comes to mind. Admittedly that had never aired but was technically canceled by NBC.

The producers were in “very preliminary talks” with Cher. That means it was not a sure thing that she would be on the show. This honestly just sounds like sour grapes from the producers.

I was thinking something similar. If they really wanted Cher—– she’s be more appropriate as the grandmother. the really scary grandmother who tries to act younger and fails at it. Considering how cliched this show is– of course they’d envision that character as an older Max. If they wanted to try be creative, it should have been someone completely against the character that Max has talked about for years. A sweet quiet Librarian living in New Mexico who was in Witness Protection or something that wasn’t so predictable you’d see it coming a mile off. But wait- that is the show in a nutshell.

Aww, that would have been great to see!

Pshaw, there’ll be a reboot within a year or two. Just like every other show that’s been cancelled over the last few days.

do the stars of most shows sign a 7 year contract? could the behind the scene reason is by letting them go now,not to go into long contract talks.

Dang it I thought they were at a good place for a final season 7 dang it! Going to cable and full series releases sick and tired of being neglected as a fan and source of income for networks!
