What an Awful Show
Wow, I just sat through an episode of "Mike and Molly," which takes place in Chicago. Mike is a Chicago cop and Molly is a teacher. They both live in the city, and occasionally you can see images of Chicago, but it's too bad they don't actually film here. If Chicago is such a popular locale, then why can't it be a production location as well?
Anyway, the show is awful, but I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who like it. I hope they do, because I have nothing against the actors. They're doing the best they can with horrible writing. Cliches, one-liners, just dumb lines. I remember watching Melissa McCarthy in "Gilmore Girls," which I loved, even though a couple of seasons weren't so good (you can see reruns on ABC Family), and she was great in that. And she seems to be good in this show, but it's too bad it's so bad.
