Mom is a comedy from executive producer Chuck Lorre starring Anna Faris as a newly sober single mom raising two children in a world full of temptations and pitfalls, and multiple Emmy Award winner Allison Janney as her critical, estranged mother.
Christy is a waitress at a posh Napa Valley establishment who is four months clean and doing her best to be a good mom and overcome a history of questionable choices. Her sobriety is tested when Bonnie, her recovering alcoholic mom, reappears chock-full of passive-aggressive insights into Christy's many mistakes.
Bonnie joins Christy's already complicated circle of relationships: her handsome, married boss - and lover - Gabriel; the restaurant's hot-tempered chef, Rudy; her pretty, 16-going-on-25-year-old daughter, Violet; her sweet but overly honest son, Roscoe; her irresponsible ex-husband and Roscoe's father, Baxter; and Violet's clueless boyfriend, Luke.
Christy tries to remain positive as she pursues her new path in life, but she faces an uphill battle, surrounded by a dubious support system - and a copious amount of dysfunction.

Women in recovery sounds depressing, right? But trust Chuck Lorre. It's always funny, and not superficial either. Someone who's been through it has a firm hand on this.
Anna Feris is so cute. The show revolves around the women, but my favorite characters, other than Christy, are her ex Baxter, and her mom's boyfriend Adam.
It starts off pretty generic and bad but it goes on to surprisingly touch some really deep topics and has some quite serious moments that I really enjoyed. Not an amazing TV series by any means but as a 20 minuter, definitely worth the time!
OMG, pretty disappointed. Dropped.
Full season ordered: http://www.tv.com/shows/the-crazy-ones/community/post/the-crazy-ones-the-mi llers-mom-full-season-pickup-back-nine-order-cbs-138212126841/
This show actually gets better. Didn't like the pilot either, but it has it's moments and I've seen MUCH worse!
DROP.
This was terrible. Such a waste of Allison Janney.
The singular worst comedy show I've ever seen. Couldn't even finish the first episode, and I'm a completist.
10 minutes, thats all I could take of this crap... & to think Dads was the worst new comedy show...
