Mom: Discussion Thread

MOM

Half hour, multi-camera

EP: Chuck Lorre, Eddie Gorodetsky

Producer: Gemma Baker

W: Chuck Lorre & Eddie Gorodetsky & Gemma Baker

D: Pamela Fryman

Studio: Chuck Lorre Productions, Inc. in association with Warner Bros. Television

Cast includes: Anna Faris, Allison Janney

Logline: A newly sober single mom tries to pull her life together in Napa Valley.

Here's the additional cast/co-stars of the leads

Nate Corddry (Harry’s Law), Matt Jones (Breaking Bad), French Stewart (3rd Rock From the Sun), Spencer Daniels (The Office), Sadie Calvano (J. Edgar), Blake Garrett Rosenthal

I'll try and watch because I do like Anna and I adore Allison Janney but Anna hasn't been funny to me in years -- even when she did comedy on HBOs Entourage... so I don't know how this'll go.

I am already predicting it will be a failure.

LOL, but CBS really churns out the "hits." Just look at Two & A Hall Men...

i think CBS must be freaking out right now. HIMYM is ending next year and probaly TAHM as well. That leaves only the big bang and they are going to be desperate to find another hit.

Ana Faris isnt the answer.

I doubt this will a failure. It's a Chuck Lorre show, he has yet to produce a show that's a failure. All his shows he's created have gotten at least 4 seasons. Not saying he can't produce a dud, but so far it's unwise to bet against him. Mom's likely going to get sandwiched between two other Chuck Lorre shows, BBT and 2.5 Men, I'd have to bomb on purpose to fail.

It's a typical Chuck Lorre show. Doesn't look like Lorre's best work, but still looks good.

So, I liked the pilot. Wasn't amazing, but wasn't awful. If you enjoy chuck Lorre's other shows, you'll like this one.

Not a hit! 2.5 for the demos, doesn't look so good for this show.

Full season pickup. Show has been improving quality wise and getting funnier with every episode. Ratings aren't great, but it hasn't had a great lead in either. it's been retaining nearly all of the audience of what airs before it. I hope it being a Chuck Lorre show, CBS keeps it around for longer than a season, because with time and a little bit of help (post TBBT slot next year?) it has potential to be a hit.

I don't the show will be a hit, but CBS will renew it for a second season without a doubt

I love this show! It gets better and better every week!
