I love Alison Janey and Anna Ferris. And the first two seasons are great. But honestly, I don't care any more about the macob comedy, how many times can you really watch people relapse, go back to meetings. end up in jail, have a housing crisis and watch another person relapse?

I am a little biased here. I am in recovery. Sober for 20 years now. Everyday I am very grateful that I survived. I don't take my life for granted anymore. So when I herd about this show I had to watch. As soon as I was done was episode 1 I was the shows #1 fan.Now that the show has ended its fourth season I am happy to say "I am still it's #1 fan". I love the fact that the show takes many chances (Some chances work some don't). I love the fact that the people in recovery are shown as human and that they still make mistakes and "life is still life". The shows first season was a little "hit and miss". The producers were trying to figure out what was working and what wasn't. What was not working on the show was Christy's work life and dating life. Her friends (and mother) in recovery was comic gold. In season 2 they added Jaime Pressly, Mimi Kennedy & Beth Hall. When all these women are together in one scene is when the show shines its brightest. Again the show is not perfect but it least it takes more chances than most television shows. It is very funny and dare I say "Very Real". To everyone that works on the show I just want to say "Bravo".

Allison Janney made me do something I had never done before. To be devotedly attached to a sit-com. She has created a character in Mom that it's bloody irresistible. An awful mother that it's impossible not to love. That's only achievable if the actress playing her is a genius. Anna Faris playing her daughter is a total find for me. Wonderful and a perfect foil for Allison Janney who reminds me of some of my favorites from the past, Kay Kendall, Eve Arden, Mary Astor, Joyce Grenfell and at the same time, she's like nobody else. She had only one moment in Primary Colors but she's memorable and has an entrance in The Hours that took my breath away. I want to see her in a movie that showcases her extraordinary talents to the fullest. Is that too much to ask?

The Mom show is my favorite. Allison Janney is perfect in this role as is Anna Faris. The writing and directing is responsible for such a successful show as is the excellent choice of casting. I appreciate the lessons that each episode works into the script. Allison Janney has a gift of deliverance of lines and stage presence ever since The West Wing. Codo's to all associated with this funny funny show.
