MIKE & MOLLY

CBS is giving Mike and Molly the Two and a Half Men time slot for one week on April 11th to see how it does. Their logic is that they want to shake things up so viewers aren’t burdened with another Men rerun. Sadly, their logic is ass backward because they’re still going to show Men after Mike and Molly that night. They should really just replace Men with a mid-season replacement instead of running the same batch of shows. Although none of this affects me because I don’t watch Men, or Mike and Molly. I don’t hate Mike and Molly by any means, but I certainly don’t love it enough for it to take space on my DVR.

    Mike & Molly had some promise, but the more I’ve watched, the worse it gets. There were some good episodes in there where fat jokes weren’t the central theme and it was focusing on the budding relationship between them, but as time has gone on, they’ve reverted to mostly fat jokes and the tired stereotypical straight-male tropes that have been done to DEATH…. i.e. big butch Billy Gardell pretends… BADLY… that he’s enjoying THE OPERA, because of course opera is a total chick thing… oh the hilarity of watching straight men be uncomfortable with culture! At least, it was funny when they first did it in the seventies on “All In The Family”…. What’s even worse is the recent Valentine’s Day episode where Mike finds out the local hot’n'sexy baker guy was once engaged to Molly, and naturally instead of HAVING A CONVERSATION to find out the details (the baker called it off because he was gay), Mike just jumps to conclusions, flies off the handle, and trashes the relationship for no reason and eats an entire cake. Yes. He eats an entire cake, and so messily that he winds up with cake in his ear. To make things even worse, Molly’s mom (hideously overplayed as a horny drunk white trash floozy caricature by Swoosie Kurtz) has a dipshit goombah-guido boyfriend who spouts a bunch of offensive gay slurs during this episode that completely turned me off (and no, I am NOT jealous that *I* didn’t come up with the term “Homo-Americans” first). Molly’s character is too good for Mike, but she gets to be the long-suffering, funny, smart girl who can’t keep a man because everyone knows all fat people are desperate slobs that only other fat slobby people would find remotely attractive. The writing is just becoming more and more lazy and trite with each passing week…

    …I’ll be very surprised if it doesn’t become a huge hit.

    love, J-Mo :)

    P.S. This by no means diminishes the absolute white-hot crush I have on Billy Gardell, plus he’s in a cop uniform, which is an uncomfortable turn-on… I’ll stop now.

    Um, OK, I just realized I used the term “goombah-guido” which is also offensive to Italian-Americans. Self-awareness is weird when it hits out of the blue, LOL. Sorry, Italian-Americans…

    love, J-Mo :)

    I tried to watch the show after the Marie Clair brouhaha, but I found it to be exactly what everyone insisted it wasn’t-a bunch of tired fat jokes. Too bad they have to waste such a talented cast on such bad writing. Then again, that pretty much describes “Two & a Half Men” as well, although I never thought Charlie was all that great an actor. He can deliver a line, but act? Notsomuch.

    Most sitcoms suck. Only a very few in the history of sitcoms haven’t.

    Speaking of Charlie, which I almost hate to do since he’s calmed down a bit–I watched the Rifftrax version of Red Dawn last night. I vaguely remember seeing the movie when it first came out on HBO, still in the 80′s sometime, but I didn’t remember Sheen being in it–but there he was. Now it’s true that he was relatively young when this movie was made, but so were the other actors and despite the whole propaganda line of the film, they did an okay job. But Charlie absolutely sucked! When others were saying their lines, he’d just look down at his jacket. His best scene was when Patrick Swayze was carrying his character who was, by then, dead.
