Unfortunately I feel I need to put this show in the category of What you're Not watching. It has been renewed for next season, but there is never any press except for when it first premiered. Mike and Molly is one of, if not, the only comedy on TV right now that has plus size people as the main characters.
Billy Gardell plays Officer Mike Biggs and Melissa McCarthy (Sookie from Gilmore Girls) plays a teacher named Molly Flynn. These two characters meet at an Overeaters Anonymous and completely hit it off. Of course the show has its fat jokes, how could it not, but they are tasteful and not hurtful. Oh, and it's FUNNY! I applaud CBS for keeping the show on and letting these characters develop and not just be the butt of bad fat jokes.
The supporting cast is also fabulous. Mike's police partner still lives with his mouthy, religious grandmother. (Plenty of jokes there!) Molly still lives with her gorgeous figured family, a 'loose' mom and pot smoking, sister. (Plenty more jokes!) The diner that Mike and his partner frequent often, is run by Samuel (Nyambi Nyambi), from the country of Senegal, who comes with the best one liners of the show. (He needs more face time and MORE lines!)
This show is a little gem. I hope it lasts and continues to just get better.
