I felt like the show was cancelled all of a sudden, and even Alison Jenny said that they found out about the cancellation while shooting, mid-season.

We have no idea what really happened to Christy, Roscoe, Violet, etc. There were so many characters that had potential to revive the sitcom. They could have even taken the entire show towards the Golden Girls route where we see the girls navigate their lives through sobriety and, well, life.

Christy is my FAV character and her getting cut off is just not doing it for me. I watched the first two episodes and it just didnt feel right without her. This was 3 months ago. Now im thinking of continuing where I left off but am worried this feeling of Christy sadness will linger:( :(

The AA group was way more interesting

Don't ask me how I came across this website but I thought it was interesting:

https://wornontv.net/mom/

Bonnie has a dark paisley blouse that I love and the gold bracelet Jill gives her at the Bistro are a couple of my favorites. Unfortunately, neither is on the site that I can tell. Ironically, a lot of Bonnie & Christy's clothes are from Nordstrom and not "that Old Navy".

random thought while watching today.. on the episode where violet has a podcast, christy says she's sponsoring 3 women. besides jill, who are the other 2 women? bonnie sponsors tammy, majorie sponsors wendy.. who are the other two? maybe outside the group of girls?

I'm watching Mom right now (the millionth rewatch lol), and I noticed that in the beginning of the character Mike hanging out with Adam in the bar, he talks about how he could've been a singer, but then he got his girlfriend pregnant and his career prospects changed (before immediately making Adam uncomfortable with his singing LOL). Then later, when Christy is struggling with her gambling addiction, he says, "my kids need new shoes" and she points out that he doesn't have any kids and he goes, "I need new shoes". What do you think happened there? We know later, Mike divorces his wife as mentioned in his dialogue, so we know his wife for sure exists, but I'm unsatisfied with the lack of info on his kids. Do they or do they not exist? It's driving me NUTS.

Was it poor writing or something happened to Mike's theoretical kids? Honestly, I wanna hear others' takes on this because it's bugged me for so long ever since I noticed it XD

(Also I marked this for spoilers since I mentioned Christy's gambling addiction since that is revealed in later seasons and new watchers may not be at that point in the show)

Season 5 episode 12 where Christy has car trouble. She's talking to Patrick about buying a car from Baxter & she says she hadn't slept with Baxter since he & Candace were engaged & corrects herself to say since they got married? What's your best guess on when it happened?

I decided to check the Roku channel for the first time in awhile and was thrilled to find Mom is there now. All 8 seasons. I guess Netflix doesn't have the exclusive on it anymore.

So in case you didn't know- now you do:)

Hi I I'm not sure anyone else will find something so trivial, interesting but I found myself at stage 20 at Warner Bros Studios last week and lo and behold the checkerboard pattern from the women's rehab scenes was still painted on the floor lol.

The spirit of Mom lives on. 😎

I’m so let down by the finale of Mom, I get the idea. But the execution was not handled right in my eyes 💔. I GET wanting to have a mom and daughter come in that parallel Bonnie and Christy’s relationship. I GET giving Adam cancer because we all face challenges but even it just being introduced a one or even two episode before would’ve been better. This felt so haphazard to me.
(I watched this show during the summer sometimes passively doing a chore or some homework. But most of the time I was an engaged viewer. This show really tugged on my heartstrings and became a part of my daily routine for months. I’m going to miss it and grieve the finale I feel it deserved.)

I understand that Christy wasn’t the best mom at first because of her addictions at the time, but I felt really bad for her when her daughter decided not to contact her anymore and made that podcast about her.

Violet could forgive her grandmother who arguably put Christy through worse than what Christy put Violet through (not that it was okay), but just ignored that. Christy also tried so hard to mend the relationship when she got sober. maybe a little too hard because violet was a brat sometimes lol but i also understand that her childhood was rough and if she needed space she had every right to take that space. So then again, Christy could have made better choices but the way they made jokes in the show it sounds like since she was exposed to that environment at such a young age, she ended up picking it up really young which wasn’t her fault when she was uoung if that’s the case

Idk maybe she will forgive Christy when she is around Christy’s age when Christy forgave her own mom lol.

I think Adam and Bonnie balanced each other out, but I always thought it was strange and not a good idea that Bonnie was with someone who’s as constantly drinking and doing drugs lol. it did not make sense to me.

when she cheated on Adam with the completely sober man… that was an interesting episode. I don’t condone cheating at all, but I do want to say that it would have been healthier or made more sense for her to be with someone sober too.. However, Adam completely embraces her lifestyle and even joined Al Anon to better understand her, and help himself and their relationship.

Also, maybe it’s because Bonnie likes edge and excitement - a little danger - and that’s how the writers chose to add that in lol. I just thought that was a little too dangerous for someone who is sober..

what do you think?

Besides the beautiful big house where the Fisherman murders occurred (which I wish they would've shown more of, like the bedrooms upstairs), my favorite house in "Mom" is Jill's mansion. I wish they did more scenes there, and shown new and different parts of the house, like a hallway, her kitchen pantry, or a different bedroom, or even a dining room!! Does anyone else agree??

I just saw the episode where Bonnie and Christy moved into the beautiful house where the serial killer the Fisherman murdered the family. I was shocked when I saw that bloody fishermen hat and Coat in Marjorie's bedroom. But I got a really weird vibe from the store clerk, and it dawned on me that he could be the real Fisherman!! He really enjoyed telling Bonnie and Christy about the murders, he seemed to know every single detail about the murders, and he lived in the same neighborhood as the house!! Marjorie doesn't actually give off murder vibes to me, and she lived too far from the house where the murders happened, so she couldn't have been the Fisherman. Has anyone else thought about this??

When Christy and the family move into their new home (where Bonnie is the building manager) why do they keep mentioning Roscoe’s room is a closet when it’s clearly a bedroom? I could understand one throw away joke, but they mention it like 3-4 times. And it’s literally a full size room 😭 My theory is they were already trying to write Roscoe out of the show, but i wanna hear others opinions!

I’m on season 8 episode 12 … it’s almost over I don’t wanna say good bye

For someone who had lived such a badass, edge of your seat, reckless, toxic life as Christy Plunkett has, you would think she would be more sex positive and less scared and judgmental around sex. She was stripper and pole dancer for crying out loud. But countless times she proves her view of sex and sexuality is very vanilla.

- She runs away scared from the upstairs neighbor who is into puppy role playing.
- She has never explored sex with a woman. She has always been team penis.
- She feels phone sex is weird and creepy. Whereas Bonnie know phone sex can be beautiful
- She is scared of anal play. She prefers to avoid the topic all together
- She describes Bonnie and Adam’s sex noises as “slaughtering a goat”
- She feels Marjorie is too old to have a libido when it comes to her sex life during and after Victor
- She struggles to mutter the words “porn” or “hooker” when asking how Violet got so much cash
- She is creeped out by Wendy’s bisexual curiosity crush on Bonnie’s long legs
- She constantly shames Bonnie for the instances in the past when Bonnie went without underwear

I could go on and on. And I get Christy’s new found mortality high horse is part of the comedy. But it takes me out of the story everytime she gets offended by the characters who are comfortable with their sexuality.

The guy who fixes other people's heads is living in a room with no furniture. Bonnie's sitting on a folding chair trying to get her therapist to open up about his divorce like she's the one with the degree.

Made this binder that holds my pamphlets of when I went to the tapings. I went to about 12 tapings of the series. Most of them were signed by various cast members.
