Mom (TV series)

So, what became of Christy's kids? Abducted by aliens, like Chuck Cunningham and the daughter on Bonnie? I thought the show was funnier with them and the stoner ex-husband than it is now with the addiction group.

 

Definitely has taken a dive after disappearance of kids and sobering of ex.

 

I'd disagree. I've been a fan for awhile and honestly, I hadn't even noticed that the ex and the kids were missing until it was mentioned in this thread!

 

They've changed direction with this show again. I'm just wondering what path it will take once Bonnie and Hot Wheels get married.

 

I really liked this show for a couple of seasons. For some reason mid way through the third season - I think it's the third, it could be the fourth - I became tired of the story lines and the broad, forced comedy. Maybe it was just the writing for me.

I really like the dynamic of Alison and Anna - their comedic timing is perfect. The rest of the cast feed off them well. I am also a big fan of William Fichtner though I didn't get his character too much or what they were doing with him. I don't relate well to stories of women going through relationship issues. I liked the stories about alcoholics working life out. But I bet many do like the relationship angle and Mom is a big show. Even without the kids I wish them a long run.

I really miss the end card though.

 

I heard Christie's daughter is returning.

 

A show called "Mom" doesn't have kids?

 

Yes it does . . . Christy (to Bonnie).

 

It is too early for me to be smart, apparently.

 

I also miss French Stewart as the head chef at the restaurant. He was hysterical.

 

I don't miss the kids at all. It's the only show we watch religiously. The ex husband's time was up as well, and don't get me started on his wife.
The female professor character has potential. And the guy who plays Adam is really doing a great job. the 'buying the bar' idea has some interesting potential.
I do think they missed a chance to have some more fun with that Amazonian woman who Christy was trying to sponsor, she was funny.

We have personal reasons for finding tons of humor in this show. I'll say that and stop.

 

I liked it better with the kids and the ex-husband. Not crazy about Adam and his drinking in every episode. How does Bonnie put up with that?
