I agree, but they seem to be sticking to a very strict seasonal story schedule;
S1 meeting & moving in
S2 getting married
S3 getting pregnant
My money's on Molly getting pregnant in the last episode of this season and having the baby the last episode of next season, with S4 revolving around the pregnant couple apartment hunting & moving out, and S5 being about raising a baby in their new flat...
It's a decent, no-brainer comedy, but would probably be unwatchable without Melissa McCarthy in it...
I agree on both points, i quite like the storyline per season thing, unlike other shows such as HIMYM at least you can tell where its going, thats nice sometimes.
I also think that Mike & Molly isn't meant to be anything more than just an easy watch. Yes the characters are quite 1 dimensional, and all jokes are about fat people. But who cares, its just for fun tv
I wish they would leave the studio once in a while, like when they are in the car (inside) and I try and see the scenery get repeated as they "drive" along
I gave it a try a while back, but didnt get far into an episode. Tried again after seeing this thread, and only got about six minutes in. I think I will always associate Melissa with Sookie from Gilmore Girls. Some actors I can get use to doing other characters in other tv shows. Like Jane Leeves from Frasier, and she went on to Hot in Cleveland, and she does great on there. So sometimes it works, but for Melissa, she can only ever be Sookie. As for M&M, dire is the right word from the very little Ive seen.

Its a good fun show. I love jim the dog. It looks like my old family dog
Horrible horrible show. I understand it could be 'big' in America but why oh why to UK TV execs think we need to watch a show with such people in it? When I think about it I get a bit of sick in my mouth.
You don't 'need' to watch anything, you can switch it off. I don't enjoy it myself but I know plenty of people that do, I don't have to like everything that's on tv!
I like it but Mike and Molly annoy the hell out of me. Her mum and sister are great are as Carl and his new flatmate and Mike's mum. It's always the same for me with comedy shows though in that I find everyone funny except the main characters. Didn't like Ross and Monica, dont like Leonard and Penny.
Has anyone been watching season 4? They seem to have upped the budget a bit, and be in the process of turning it into "The Melissa McCarthy Show" (and why not, when her last 3 movies each grossed over $100 million at the US box office?) It's lost a bit of its sweetness though, I'm not sure if that might turn off some of its core viewers who probably saw it as a nice old fashioned romantic sitcom...
Gah that suckssss. Thanks for the update though. You'd think Comedy Central would show it quite quick, after all its one of the few new shows they have.

I think it may well have been. I had it on series link. but its been replace by friends in my panner. I think it's been taken off because a storm hits
Its being shown Later this week in America I believe so it may show up at some point next week over here
I think Canada did still show the episode though as normal, so I don;t see why we couldn't broadcast it over here tonight
It has lost me as a fan
Maybe, but you watch Downton so should be used to dire stuff.
On my Sky Never Miss it says "Season 4 (coming 2013/2014)"
Unfortunately no more information at the moment.
This is a good site for uk air dates. Seems to be updated regularly

Modern Family sucks too
Shows how little taste you have.
I also love The Middle and Modern Family and hope there back soon.
Me too. They're back in the States so I'm guessing we have to wait until January like we did for last season.
I do that!
At least we're consistent.
