Mom

I like the realness of the entire show: a world into another world. The main characters' storylines are interesting.

But I've to say, I'm loving season 8 without Anna Faris; sorry Anna.

For a long time I haven't found a good comedy series I can watch, then this one came across me. I have seen all 8 seasons and I have to say that this is the only TV series I know that did not decline with years. Interestingly the show really turned upside down, it started with Christy being the "Mom" and after a couple of seasons Bonnie became the title character. And by season 8 none of them were mom. For me S8 was better, because the Christy character became very flat by the end, and I also didn't miss her mouth, the look of her mouth heavily irritated me, plastic surgery really went wrong there. Overall I like all the characters and the pace of the show, sometimes they also deal with drama what gives weight to the series.

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".

In the episode where Violet resurfaces with her own podcast, it really angered me.

I am writing here about it.

In the episode, Violet completely trashes her Mom, as though Christy never was in AA getting her life together, those years leading up to the episode. It would be best if that was removed from the viewing rotation.

Why couldnt the writers have used Violet's podcast so she could tell how much better off she was having learned life lessons so early on, in the stead of being a spoilt 18 to 22 year olde, when she would venture out on her own. How shew would have been so far ahead of young ladies her age, how she was so popular because she was helping her age group how to manage their check accounts, how to clean their rooms, do the laundry.

Seriously, lose the episode. It is such an unfair, unright downer.

Chuck Lorre is one of the creator of the show, who is one of the best currently Hollywood has. The series follows the love hate relationship between a Mom played by Academy Award Winner Allison Janney alongside Anna Faris as her Daughter, keeping with their sobriety with a struggling Economic & Social conditions. Mom has every set of emotions including Humor, Laughs, Sadness, happiness etc. Allison Janey is the Star of the show. She has also got Emmy for her role as Bonnie Plunkett .With some good performances by its regular and recurring cast along with a strong message & writing this Tv-series is totally recommended
