I initially liked Mike & Molly because it was just mindless humor, and best of all takes place in my hometown of Chicago (even if they mispronounce things often); however something dawned on me tonight that just really pissed me off.
They only joined Mike & Molly because they both have weight/eating issues (even if his is far more advanced). It seems more like she just has a thyroid issue, but he's a total glutton - they show pictures in the mom's house from when he was a kid, and he's normal weight.
Aside from that, the guy is just ignorant, an incompetent officer; and just nobody anyone with any common sense would be with, yet she's supposed to be this highly educated and sophisticated woman who just happens to be overweight. I'm sorry, but even if Mike were 180, he'd still be ignorant and incompetent. It would be like making a sitcom about two couple who got together just because they're Black or Jewish or some arbitrary characteristic that really isn't a character flaw by any means, but makes them feel discriminated against.
I'm gay, but I'm not gonna date the first available gay guy - if anything I have higher standards. It's just insulting to anyone who doesn't fit into the Hollywood mold to think that you're gonna snatch up the first person "like" you. But then again, it is from Chuck Lorre who is the master of low brow, ignorant (and alleged) comedy.
