Too many fans seem to be blown away

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I am still drinking...too much. But with this show; the funniest, fast wits and comebacks are fantastic! Do they ad-lib some of it? I seems so, because the actors always have the right (or wrong) answers right there at the moment. This is the first that I know of, where Anne Farris, is so thoughtful and kind, makes sense and funny. But, as I started out, I am still drinking, and the show just helps me to cope with some of my own problems (not as many as they have), but for some reason it helps. I watch every show and rerun a few times, and always get something new out of each episode.

I've only really been watching late at night when it's repeated on a few different networks now, but I can honestly say I don't see how it can be labeled a comedy. The networks I've been catching it on don't exactly believe in following seasonal order when they run 2 episodes in a row (can be a little time line confusing) one episode from season 2 the next from season 3, but episodes the next day are the next episode in season so, it's easy to piece together. But to label this as JUST a comedy...even though they are from different seasons, the last few episodes I've seen have left me choked up. The writing and acting results in real, yes at times funny at times heartbreaking situations. The mother daughter relationships between Bonnie, Christy and Violet are pretty realistic. At times love, others less than love, the typical resentment of some "failure" on mom's part.

What a laugh track says to me is this: it says you don't trust your own writing, actors, or show. It says you think I am stupid and wouldn't know where to laugh. It weakens your effort.The show is fine. The acting is good, and I really enjoy seeing middle aged people in a show. I am not a great fan of family sitcoms, but this one is much better than most. I enjoyed the 12-step background.But I cannot forgive a laugh track. When did MASH give up its laugh track? 1984? That is getting to be quite sometime ago. So TV, quit doing it. It tells me that your show is aimed at far stupider people than me. If it isn't, then trust your writers and actors.

Very good show!It is a shame to watch some negative ratings on such a series. Are people worried about teenage pregnancy, alcoholics, single moms or free sex? Well, get real, that is how real life is. The only thing I don't like, are the laugh tracks, but that is my problem.The way characters have been developing is incredible.It is very good to see that besides all the crap that may happen in our lives, it is always possible to correct ourselves. We can clearly see how Christy and Bonnie have a good and fair heart and always try to redeem themselves from mistakes (both of the past or present). Also, is lovely to see how their relationship develops, such as the relationships with their friends. They all may sound comically harsh to each others, but when something serious happens, we see them taking the right side and defending each other and that's what matters in life.I understand there are many types of humor, but to say MOM is not good because of their topics, makes no sense. Only one who lives in a shell or denies the real life can say that. It is much more interesting to see this than another cliché storyline of some sort of normal family with a light tendency to be JUST funny. I personally congratulate both Anna Faris and Allison Janney. I was not a fan of them, but I am now. Besides their wonderful acting skills, they show a very humanistic mindset.AND TO THE HATERS, SEASON 5 IS COMING. BAM.
