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.

OK so it's not what you want you children to model themselves after but then neither was producer Chuck Lorre's Two and a Half Men. This is sort of the female version of that great show and maybe it's because it's a mostly female cast that it seems to raise the ire of so many. I don't know or care, to me its funny. Anna Faris is well
Anna Faris and if you like her in things like the "Scary Movie" series then you will probably like her playing Christy who often innocently deadpans her way through raunchy or absurd situations with great comedic sensibility. Allison Janney plays Christy's Mom Bonnie who is the counterpart to Charley Harper's slutty mom Evelyn. The show probably could use a "Berta" but it has enough good characters to develop into the same sort of comedic juggernaut Two and a Half Men was, given some good writing. Time will tell.
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.

From pilot to finale every episode stirs an honest emotional response; be it laughter at the sharp wit or shedding a few tears at the brutal honesty, Mom delivers. Characters come & go but the show's backbone - Allison Janney, strengthened by the ensemble cast shines bright and leaves us hopeful for tomorrow, inspired for today.
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
