When I first viewed this show I was trying to find something entertaining to watch and after a few minutes I laughed so hard because this sitcom was the funniest I've seen in a longtime. Mike & Molly tells the story of a couple who meet at an overeater's anonymous group and fall in love, Billy Gardell & Melissa McCarthy have great chemistry on screen and the cast is fantastic Swoosie Kurtz & Katy Mixon deliver comical performances as Molly's mother & sister who are always giving advice about her relationship.
What I enjoy most about the series is that it takes a look at a sensitive subject and the jokes arrive in a style of laugh with me and not at me. My favourite episode is when Molly goes out on her first date with Mike and she's acting a bit crazy because of cold medicine and a little wine the expressions on his face are priceless. Mike Biggs (Gardell) is a Chicago police officer attempting to lose some weight and Molly Flynn (McCarthy) a fourth grade teacher wants to embrace her curves. They meet one evening at a weight loss support group and slowly a romance begins, they are so cute together in one episode she doesn't want to see him anymore and he wins her back by serenading her under her window. Reno Wilson as Carl Mike's partner is hilarious he too offers advice as does his grandmother portrayed by Cleo King.
This show is for anyone who feels comfortable and likes them self for who they are.
