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?
Please keep show going. Hilarious sitcom.
Hilarious sitcom. Please keep it going.
An enjoyable show that takes a serious look at alcoholism recovery. Keep it going!
This may be the best show on TV today. It’s funny, honest and the actors are perfect.
love this show and look forward to seeing it every week
I absolutely love this show. It has left me in tears of laughter and sadness. Best show on television.
Love the show…I was wondering why I haven’t seen it on…please bring it back…lately all the good shows have been cancelled, blood & oil, Lizzie Borden, Cedar Cove, now this, I might just give up watching tv altogether!!!!
I did not like the lesbian scene or commentary but I will still be watching the show.
Like the show but miss the kids – they made the show more interesting and funny.
We liked the show until last night’s episode. We won’t be watching again.
We liked the show until the lesbian scene in last night’s episode. I strongly suspect that many sets were turned off or switched as was ours. There are still many of us who are not gay.
it was one scene. get over it. like it or not this **** happens every single day. I guess the other adult content does not upset you? But one lesbian kiss is enough to ruin the show. STICK WITH The Disney Channel!
I will never watch mom again. When I heard Rosie O’Donnell was going to be on the show you lost me as a fan.
like the show but …really using a cell phone while driving
however canceled this show. SUCKS
I love Mom. It is both funny and poignant. I hope no one thinks about canceling this great show. Everyone in my family love it.
