The Mike & Molly Fat Tracker: ‘You’re Sweating Like a 300 Pound Hooker in Church’

Posted on January 4, 2011 by | Leave a comment

What is the one thing worse than sitting through a three-hour opera while sick? Watching an overweight sitcom character sweat through a three-hour opera while he’s sick. Hence last night’s episode of Mike & Molly , “Mike Goes to the Opera,” in which Mike caught a virus and his friends and family missed no less than ten opportunities to make fat jokes at his blubbery expense. “Don’t they just put animals your size down when they get sick?”* Hey-oh?

Posted on December 14, 2010 by | Comments Off

Mike & Molly rebounded from a particularly fat joke free episode with last night’s “First Christmas,” in which the plump lovebirds shared, well, their first Christmas, while their friends and family members lobbed unfunny size-ist insults at them. Don’t you just love sitcom holidays? Let’s review the awful zingers.

The Mike & Molly Fat Joke Tracker: ‘This Giant Man Needs 8 Hours to Sleep’

Posted on November 23, 2010 by | Comments Off

Bad news, tracker fans. Last night’s Thanksgiving-themed episode of Mike & Molly was a turkey in the fat joke department. I was expecting Mike and Molly’s family to crowd around the table, share thanks and then launch into a full-on fat roast about their lardy loved ones. Instead, we got the following paltry serving. What hath Overeaters Anonymous wrought?

Viewers who have been tracking Mike & Molly ‘s burgeoning relationship (and BMI s) were in for a treat last night when the super-sized sweethearts reached a very special milestone in their corpulent couple-dom: They said “I love you” to each other…and then had passionate make-up sex while wearing snakeskin boots. But who cares about the plot! Onto the fat jokes.

The Mike & Molly Fat Joke Tracker: ‘She’s a Brick House’

Posted on September 21, 2010 by | Leave a comment

There is only one reason why you, esteemed readers, would watch Chuck Lorre’s formulaic new sitcom about a pair of overweight Chicago lovebirds: the fat jokes. And boy, are there fat jokes. (Well, if you define a fat joke as “any line about beefy gals and White Castle drive-thru deaths followed immediately by a cringeworthy laugh track.”) And now, thanks to Movieline’s new weekly feature The Mike & Molly Fat Joke Tracker, you don’t even have to sit through the CBS show to catch the most offensive jabs. Herewith, last night’s tasteless disses from the Mike & Molly pilot.

So Tell Me About Mike & Molly: A Movieline Premiere Week FAQ

Posted on September 20, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The losses of King of Queens and According to Jim may have left you with a yearning in the pit of your stomach for a reliable, middle of the road sitcom and tonight, CBS tries to sate that hunger with Mike & Molly . The new project from Chuck Lorre premieres at 9:30 and promises all of the ingredients paramount to a working class comedy: blue collar comic actors (lead Billy Gardell hails from Pittsburgh), all-American settings (police station, school, diner) and familiar concerns that the middle class understands and finds hilarious (“That sandwich is a suicide with meatballs as bullets!”). Will those elements yield a new classic tonight — or just a retread of a tired genre full of tired Americans? Proceed to Movieline’s Premiere Week FAQ to find out.
