CBS announced today that they picked up The Crazy Ones, The Millers and Mom for a full season. I get why they are sticking with the funny The Millers and the hysterical The Crazy Ones, but I don’t get Mom.
I love Chuck Lorre and I have tried to like Mom, but the show sucks the life out of you. It is so unfunny and depressing, I can’t even muster up a chuckle when I watch it. I am not crapping you because I watched Monday’s episode with Octavia Spencer and I didn’t even feel the corner of my lips go up once. If I want to watch the story of 30-something, soon-to-be grandmother because her teen daughter is pregnant, recovering alcoholic, who can’t pay the bills, I would watch a documentary on it. But I don’t, I watch comedies to laugh not to feel sorry for the characters in it. So when Mom becomes, a comedy let me know and maybe I will reconsider. To be honest I foresee CBS losing a lot of viewers on Monday, November 11th in the 9p hour because that Chuck Lorre hour is not 1/2 punch. It is even a kid slap.
The network really messed up by not promoting We Are Men as the show it was, and not what they wanted it to be.
UPDATE: The CW has it is own news, they picked up America’s Next Top Model for another season. I want to know what pictures she has on the network executives because why else would they renew this show for another season???
UPDATE 2: Fox announced today that not only did they pick up Brooklyn Nine-Nine for the full season, but that the sitcom will air after the Super Bowl. Personally I don’t think it deserves the honor, but then again I also don’t get the show. I tried, but it just wasn’t for me. To be honest I think Dads is a lot more enjoyable than the Andy Samberg show.
