keelhaul-80856 I watch this show at the bar occasionally, because the bartender leaves it on, but hardly ever at home. Basically, think of any mediocre sitcom, just with a bunch of fat people and stale jokes, and you basically have Mike and Molly. Is it the worst show I've seen? No, but certainly far from the best. There is nothing that stands out as memorable except obese people and their friends yapping about something that is about as funny as your daily conversation with the coworker you have to talk to coming out of a bathroom or something.I also find myself checking out one of the thick(but not huge) friends with a cute face and nice rack, but the rest is just blah. Is Mike a security guy, meter maid, or a regular cop? I think he is a real cop, but again, I'm so bored and disengaged I don't even know for sure. Anyway, as a cop, I'm surprised you could even be on the force and be that large. He looks like Jaba the Hutt with a hat on. This show is just the same old "Hey look, funny fat people with quirky stuff to say!!" I'll continue to watch it while drunk as a captive audience, but not on my own time regularly.

Melaniamania My parents watch this horrible show so I have been exposed to more episodes than I ever would have liked to be. As I mentioned, the show is terrible. It is nothing but endless sex jokes, clichéd characters and bad acting. I can't believe this show lasted as long as it has, and even though I'm in my early 20's and used to most TV shows and movies relying on crude humor and shock value for views, this one is over the top. For the record I live in Chicago, and I have never met people as disgusting as the characters in this show. That's saying a lot. I mean who discusses their sexual escapades with their families? Ew. The "romantic" plot is dumb and frankly it's embarrassing that people in their forties are so immature, broke, and lost in life. I cannot think of a worse show, steer clear.I urge people to stop watching garbage like this and demand a little more from your entertainment.

pefrss I stumbled on this show watching reruns on a channel which shows only reruns and I caught the first two episodes and thought they were extremely funny. What especially attracted me to the show is the fact that the cast is more or less half white and half black . I did not grow up in the States and before I came here , that is how I always imagined it to be. All races living happily together and being friends. Not the reality unfortunately. After seeing more episodes I saw some stuff I did not care about, Molly becoming a writer and catering to an outrageous famous writer, played by Susan Sarandon. But the show is always saved by all the other players . First of all Mike, stoic Mike who seems improbable as a police officer as you cannot imagine him following any suspect without getting a heart attack, but who makes you wish there would be a police officer like him in your neighborhood. And of course Carl, who is just as lovable and unable to find love. Molly's mother and sister are priceless and I had to look it up where I remember Swoosie Kurtz from. It was the TV series Sisters in the 90s and WOW she has not aged. The always high and always kind sister of Molly is the counterpoint to the always mean mother of Mike and Carl's grandmother balances out with her realism and witty Samuel amuses with his tales of Africa. Vince, Joyce's boyfriend/fiancé/husband is a very well drawn character and very believable, I met a few people like him.I guess all shows become difficult after a few years. Two and a half men was entertaining for the first year or so and then became repetitive and even the Big Bang Theory struggles . I guess real life is not always so funny and writers run out of good ideas and there is certainly no laugh track running in the background of my life, which is good because I do not like laugh tracks. I do not like to be told when to laugh.

Timothy Hughes Jr (timhughes10) When the show first started i could not get enough of it. i loved everyone in the show. Loved we was getting this chance to watch a couple meet and fall in love and what not. Filled with tons of great jokes and moments. Well up until the past current season where Molly quits her job to find her self. Once that happened the show became all about Molly, like every episode was about Molly doing something that made no sense at all. Like how can you quit your job when your up to your neck in debt and are trying to have a child. I didn't like how also everything became Mike fault and he was played as the bad guy. The jokes that Melissa McCarthy are saying are just lame and sounds like she trying to hard. This bugged me so much i stopped watching the show and never finished the rest of the season. I hope for one day for it to go back to the way it was.
