Mike and Molly is a new half hour sitcom on Monday nights. It's the story of an "obese" man and woman who meet at an Overeaters Anonymous group, hit it off and begin dating. Mike and Molly

I Like the show and as it is written by the folks who brought us "Two and a Half Men" and "Big Bang Theory" I am sure it will only improve with time.
I am curious to know who came up with the term "obese"? I find it to be a particularly offensive term..
If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.

The term obese is what has been used to describe the characters in a variety of media sources including the Marie Claire article I briefly mentioned which is why I put it in quotes. I don't particularly care for the term myself. But I hate "morbidly obese" even more.

Here's another good beat down of the write up by author Jen Lancaster.

No, the show with Keri Russell (Felicity) is Running Wilde. I've watched most of the episodes because I love her but I find Will Arnett <i>mostly</i> annoying.

The Fat Chic has a growing list of commentary on the whole Mike & Molly / Marie Claire / Maura Kelly debacle. I've stopped reading about it because I've been saturated with it via twitter and elsewhere. But if you haven't read much it's a good resource listing. Read The Fat Chic.

I have been loving this show...it's nice to see different types of people represented in prime time television. The show is improving as it finds its legs, which is nice. I am also loving that they're moving away from focusing on the "fat" aspect and moving more into approaching the story from a perspective of a developing relationship.
It's been disturbing to see so much criticism of the show, and most of it from people who admit they haven't even watched an episode.

I have to agree it is definitely improving! This past week's episode was one of the best.
That's usually the case isn't it.
