Mayim Bialik and the Final Season of ‘Call Me Kat’

Mayim Bialik, the talented actress known for her role as Amy Farrah Fowler in The Big Bang Theory, has taken on various roles throughout her career. However, she is perhaps best known recently for co-hosting the iconic game show Jeopardy! alongside Ken Jennings.

But today, we want to focus on another project that has captured the hearts of many viewers – the Fox sitcom Call Me Kat. Based on the British show Miranda, this comedy series features Bialik as the lead character, Kat, alongside a talented cast including Leslie Jordan, Swoosie Kurtz, Kyla Pratt, Christopher Rivas, and Cheyenne Jackson.

However, the unfortunate news is that the upcoming third season of Call Me Kat will be its last. As we prepare for the final chapter of this beloved series, let’s take a closer look at how Bialik is approaching the ending, both for the protagonist and the viewers.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Bialik bid farewell to Call Me Kat with a touching photo of herself and her coworkers. The caption perfectly captured the bittersweet emotions of the moment, stating, “It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.”

Reflecting on the journey, Bialik acknowledged the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic but expressed gratitude for the laughter they were able to bring to viewers. She also paid tribute to her amazing cast, including the late Leslie Jordan, who brought magic to the series.

“While you can choose your own ending, here’s where I believe we all end up,” Bialik shared in her parting statement. “Kat and Max live happily, Randi and Carter get married, and Sheila forever remains a source of joy and wisdom in everyone’s lives.”

Despite the upcoming conclusion of Call Me Kat, fans of the show are not ready to bid farewell just yet. For three years, they have followed Kat’s journey as she defied societal expectations and battled her mother’s influence, proving that true happiness can be found even when you can’t have it all.

Call Me Kat garnered mixed reviews since its debut, with the first season receiving a Metacritic score of 41 out of 100. However, the show did receive nominations for Outstanding Cinematography and Outstanding Multi-Camera Picture Editing at the Primetime Emmy Awards.

Variety reported that the network was aware of the critical reception of the show, which played a role in the decision to end it. The official statement from the network expressed gratitude towards everyone involved in the show and acknowledged their pride in Call Me Kat.

Despite the diverse opinions about the show, it undeniably has a passionate fan base that is not ready to say goodbye just yet. Comments from fans express heartbreak over its ending and hope that another network might pick it up. Others celebrate the show’s brilliance and thank the creators for giving them a relatable lead character to connect with.

As the final season of Call Me Kat approaches, we can’t help but feel a mix of emotions. The journey may be coming to an end, but the memories and laughs will live on. Mayim Bialik and the talented cast and crew have left an indelible mark with their portrayal of Kat and her quirky adventures.
