Mike & Molly

One of the few sitcoms out there where you are guaranteed to laugh for the majority of every episode! The writing and the acting (by all) makes this a non-stop laughing affair. Very few sitcoms offer such non stop humor. All actors were cast perfectly - another rarity. A very enjoyable show that deserves a 9/10 from me!

As a long time PA announcer for hockey, soccer and girls lacrosse, when someone scores three goals, I usually say "And (name) gets the Hat Trick!" That's true with Chuck Lorre, who has another hit show in Mike & Molly, which follows his biggest hit Two and a Half Men. With another hit The Big Bang Theory, he joins Paul Henning and Susan Harris as the only producers to have three sitcoms in prime time.

Now to Mike & Molly, I saw the first episode and I think the show is going to be a hit, thanks to the chemistry between Billy Gardell as Mike and Melissa McCarthy as Molly. They meet at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting and after a number of obstacles overcome, he finally asks Molly out. Also contributing to the hilarity are Katy Mixon as Molly's sister and Swoosie Kurtz as her mom.

What makes the show stand out from other shows with overweight characters is that there doesn't seem to be a lot of fat jokes, it's more of a character driven show than weight driven.

One thing you might notice is that there are a couple of references to the Chicago Bears. Molly teaches at Walter Payton Elementary School (named for the Hall of Fame running back) and the cook at Mike's favorite restaurant wears a Brian Urlacher jersey. It looks like the producers are Bears fans.

Could it be they're falling in love? if you saw the first episode, watch it each week and you'll find out the answer.

I started watching this show with no expectations either way.After a little more the half a season i quit it , Because i have seen every scene before. The writers have just copy pasted other shows from ..oh the last 25 years.There is not a single new idea in it, The actors are fine , well the over acting sister have been done better(Keeping Up Appearances),And sadly they do the "big size jokes" from time to time for ..well i don't know maybe thats what they go for like the poor jokes in Married w children or fish out of water in The Nanny. So if you are looking a show you have seen before this will fit the bill nicely, And maybe second season is more fun but i am not going to tune in , already wasted enough time on it

From pilot to finale this show will make you chuckle, laugh out loud, and wipe away a tear or two - or three. Having watched the show in its entirety when it was first broadcast on network television & now marathoning it thanks to HBO Max, I enjoyed it just as much & so curse the Network that didn't jump at the chance at continuing the series with 13 episode seasons.

I'm hoping we can get a new "Mike & Molly" where we see them trying to survive raising teenagers in The Flynn House.

a try to give a different form of comedy series. more realistic. more familiar in a serious manner. and a decent result. because the humor has a precise target and the series has the good intention to give a realistic perspective for a not so small community. and, surprising, it does a nice job. because it is not only a series about physical appearances, love, family, friends, job and...temptations but all in the right package. and this does it...special. and, maybe, useful.
