TV show description:
This comedy series follows a single mother named Christy (Anna Faris) who is newly sober and decides to restart her life in the Napa Valley in California. Her sobriety is tested by her mother, Bonnie (Allison Janney), who introduced alcohol and drugs to Christy at an early age and is also in recovery.
Bonnie’s working on repairing their mother-daughter relationship and is all too happy to offer insights into Christy’s mistakes.
Christy’s children are Violet (Sadie Calvano) a sarcastic 16-year-old, and Roscoe (Blake Garrett Rosenthal), an innocent and honest pre-teen. Violet has a sexually-active relationship with a long-haired clueless dude named Luke (Spencer Daniels) and Christy is worried that her daughter will repeat her mistake of dropping out and becoming a teen mother.
To make matters worse, Roscoe’s father, Baxter (Matt Jones), is back in the picture — at least for as long as the red van he lives in isn’t towed away.
Christy gets a job as a waitress at a posh restaurant that’s managed by Gabriel (Nick Corddry). He’s very supportive of her and they share a sexual attraction — unfortunately, he has a snotty wife named Claudia. Rudy (French Stewart) is the establishment’s thoughtless and temperamental head chef.
Christy tries to remain as positive as she can while pursuing her new path in life. Unfortunately, it’s an uphill battle thanks to a very dysfunctional support system.

What do you think? Do you like the Mom TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a ninth season?
This one of the best tv shows ever.
I really would hate to see it end. It is still good with 1 of the main people leaving the show.
Don’t cancel this show
Renewed without question!! Cannot believe that cancellation of this brilliant show was ever considered and now finalized. I do not like many sit coms but this one is so cleverly done. Characters are superb!!
This has been the best season ever of Mom. The cast & the writing has been hilarious. To cancel this now is just wrong. Laughing is so important right now so cancel this show at this time is just so wrong.
I think it is a big mistake to cancel Mom. Many people enjoy it’s storyline, characters and sophisticated humor. I for one am very disappointed. I hope this decision can be reversed.
I LOVE this show!! One of the best shows on the air. It is something I look forward to every week (not too mention I watch it nightly before sleeping). It makes me laugh and that’s what people need. It’s relatable and funny. Hopefully they change their minds. VERY disappointing.
Mom is one of the best shows on TV! I can’t believe they would drop it from the schedule. I can’t wait till Thursday to watch it! Very dumb move to drop it.
I cannot believe you are cancelling MOM!!!! It’s one of the funniest shows on TV!!!!! I’m so upset about this and so are my friends!!
Keep Mom on! Very entertaining!
Keep Mom on. Great show
I just love mom, everyone on the show does a great job with there characters you did a great job when you put the girl that plays Tammy in there. I hope the show stays on for a while longer it’s so funny. I did also like the cop that was Jill’s boyfriend wish he was still on there.
Since Christy left the series has taken a nose dive she made the show.. Mom (Janney) is funny but she sort of hog the series! None
Of the other characters never had a chance! Maybe liven up the other characters tone down Bonnie possible the series might live
longer!!!
Mom will end after 8 seasons on May 6, 2021.
The best actors remain on the show and I think it’s a big mistake to end it . They should be given more time to let the audience adjust to the new show. It’s a great show ! It could probably be the new Golden Girls. You could also give it a better slot.
Big mistake
