False elements in DL fave Mom

Here are two to start:

People who are not well off living in a house with upper-middle class decor elements and a huge bedroom.

AA meeting moves to someones home when incapacitated.

You've got your finger on the pulse of the cultural zeitgeist, OP.

Mom is a DL fave? Really?

So glad to hear your thoughts on a show that's almost a decade old and just ended.

R4, I never watched it before reading about it on DL. I only heard of it a few years ago.

Even Alison Janey and Mimi Kennedy cannot save it. It is such a bizarre program. It tries to tackle gritty material in cotton candy sets.

I am fascinated by it.

The only reason to bring up Anna Faris is to remind people of the existence of another Fairs - and that's Sean Faris (unrelated)

What a bizarre program. It is never great, but the quality veers greatly between seasons.

The way they dispose of Anna Farris' children is disturbing. (When I first saw it for a few episodes, I did not know her character had children.)

The bad photoshopped family photo in the credits is insultingly bad.

I cannot wait for us to be fully unquarantined.

R7, it IS bizarre. I’ve never really watched it, except late at night when I’m trying to sleep. It’s a completely different show, depending on which season you’re seeing.

Chuck Lorre can’t seem to let go of his shows. I’ll admit that the do end up meandering in some interesting directions, as real life does.

I had argued with some on DL because seeing random later episodes I had no idea Anna Farris' character was a mother and thought Alison Janney was the title character.

Bizarrely inconsistent characters and bizarrely inconsitent format and plot.

Oh come on the kids were dull and annoying, the show improved when they jettisoned them. The show was about Moms not kids.

False element - while Anna Faris's character could be adorable, the number of guys interested in her was unbelievable. Former strippers, alcoholics and drug users, who have a gambling problem and have to spend several nights a week at AA meetings are not that much in demand. Especially if they don't want to put out as in the case when she was dating, Justin Long as Adam Henchy.

I always marveled that Anna Faris' emaciated arms and legs didn't buckle under

the weight of her enormous head

R12, it is understandable that the kids were cut. But for those of us who came in later, it made it seem like the Alison Janney show. I think originally the title refered to both Faris and Janney.

I am on season 7 and Faris looks like shit. Really scary emaciated on a show about recovery.
