Mike and Molly Season One

Mike and Molly Season One

                This show feels like a spinoff or some other show, but I’m pretty sure that it isn’t.   Mike and Molly are an overweight couple who meet via Overeaters Anonymous and go through the steps of any relationship only with a lot of humor mixed in.

                I heard that people don’t like this show because they feel that the two main characters are not attractive.    Sure, they may not live up to Hollywood standards of attractive, and one could even argue that this show is just a way for Fat America to not feel so badly about themselves, but really, this show is a comedy first and foremost.    Aside from that, we also have them going to OA meetings still and diets are always in the background of this show, which I think is healthy. 

                To me, saying “I don’t like watching fat people make out” would be like saying “I don’t like watching black people make out”.   So if you can judge someone by their weight, then where do you draw the line and say it based on skin color, sexuality or whatever else that the PC police immediately get offended by?   Some people need to think before they speak out on such matters.   This show is a half hour comedy and it’s funny.   That’s all that should matter.
