I want to like this show so badly. I want to laugh riotously every time either Mike or Molly opens their mouths — to talk, to eat, to whatever. I want Mike's partner/sidekick to be a comic genius and I want the foibles of Molly's mother and sister to be comic gold. It is just not happening for me. I feel like I've been patient. Soon I'm going to start getting annoyed. But let's talk about the good stuff.
One thing this show can always be counted on for is a sweet story with two charming and wildly entertaining leads. I'm so happy to see that Mike has finally found a "diet" that works for him. His stomach is finally obeying what his ears have known for years: he's practicing portion control.
And the more we get to know Molly, the more it seems like she's got a fiery (but loving and ultimately nurturing) personality. I love that she kicked Mike's butt up and down the bowling alley. She's not the type of person to pretend to be bad at something when she's actually kinda awesome at it, and I applaud her for that. It only took some advice from Carl's gram for Mike to stop being a baby and realize he actually wants a strong, intelligent woman.
I'm still rooting for these crazy kids. I want to see a lot more of their ups and down and maybe a little less of Carl, Victoria and Joyce.
Do you agree?
