This is episode made me mad due to Christy. Now everyone is entitled to their own opinion and such but I was currently watching the episode where Victor passed away

I just hated that Christy kept tryna force Marjorie to feel sad about his death instead of letting her grieve her own way.

And then she expects credit when Wendy was the one who helped marjorie in the end.

And she doesn't learn her lesson

Idk ever since I've had someone close to me pass a few months ago I just don't like when people tell others how to grieve.

(Yes I understand that this is a tv show because ik those comments are bound to show up, but idc)

In episode 5 of season 8, watching Bonnie and Adam reminded me of cj(played by Allison Janney) and Danny(cj's lover) in the West Wing. Especially the scene where Bonnie doesn't know how to ski and Adam wants to teach. It was a lot of fun because cj and Danny have exactly the same conversation in the West Wing finale. I wonder if it's a coincidence or intentional writing.

I'm a huge Anna Faris fan, which is what originally got me into this show. I went to the taping of the second episode (of Season 1) and, I believe, about 12 episode tapings total. As the show went on, I always felt like Christy deserved better. The show started with her working on herself and trying to have a relationship with her kids. It seemed good until mid-series, it seemed like, well Christy kind of redeemed herself for the most part but we're done with her kids - but lets just make them hate her rather than resolving anything. To me, it seemed like Anna Faris went from being the "Mom" of the show, to her being the child instea. I watched the show as it aired and each week I was rooting for her to get something positive and it just seemed like they were done trying with Christy. When Anna announced her departure, it was almost not a shock. It was a shame to not see Christy in the finale and I always imagined her having her full circle moment with finally finding someone and reconnecting with her kids. For season 8, I wish they did a time jump (as much I usually hate those), 5 years later - Bonnie is w/ Adam and we're told Christy finally reconnected with her kids and maybe something along the lines of that she's now living with Violet in another state helping her raise her children (much like Christy and Bonnie of season 1).

When does Bonnie apologize to Christy for being a craptastic mom? I'm like four minutes into the second episode and I can't continue watching unless she apologizes at some point. I hate hate hate hate hate when parents blame their bad parenting on having a bad kid. It's bullcrap.

Hey, anyone have a list of every holiday episode of Mom?

The end where Tammy reveals the redesigned cereal shelf and Adam says aww youre the best and tells her to open the drawer and theres the cinderella crown, and he says “ you got my back, i got yours “ is so sweet and makes me always tear up a bit. Its always the little things. 🥹

Ps. And i didnt know im not the only one who is on their 4th or 5th watch on these series.

"She's stronger than she looks due to a lifetime of disappointment"-Bonnie describing Christy when Patrick gets engaged. This should be every Gen-xer's mission statement.

I can just imagine Baxter all high trying to pass on as serious quoting Bon Jovi lol 😹

She's such a terrible character man, I genuinely cannot get through any of her episodes. So judgemental, entitled, takes zero responsibility for her own actions and extremely self-centered. I mean yes, we get it, you went through hard times growing up but the fact that this is literally her ONLY character trait is so exhausting. Christy and Bonnie are actively developing and even the supporting cast but Violet is mostly static.

In the episode where Bonnie tries to sell her car, the first person she tries to sell it to is the guy that only wants it to push it off a cliff. The boots that he was wearing I cannot find anywhere, any help would be great :)

When I watch the episode again I plan on taking a picture of them and putting them in the comments

Did anyone else really enjoy the scenes with Christy, Ned and Lucy. I found both Ned and Lucy very interesting and a funny duo, only wished there was a bit more scenes with them.

Like WHY?! Episode always annoys me. The fact she thought that it would impress the mom exemplifies her lack of social awareness.

1- Why cook a food you have no idea how to make for a person who KNOWS how to cook it? Preparing something you were good at making would make a better impression. 2- It’s kinda racist- it’s like going out of your way to make soul food if a black person was coming to dinner.

Christy is my favorite character

• She's the most relatable
• Her struggle in trying to do the right thing only to see others get the easy way out makes her really sympathetic
• She's one of the most level headed
• She has a lot of funny lines

There's a few things I can't excuse but everyone on this show did something terrible at some point

I may be thinking too much into this, but this has always bothered me and i have a two hour commute and a lot of time to think about this. Jill had always shown signs of having a restrictive eating disorder, including but not limited to:

-when they meet Jody at the Bistro, she says her first post detox meal was a pizza that she purged after

• when Bonnie was detoxing and suffering in front of the group, she called her “lucky” because she’d lose weight vomiting

-she shared in a meeting that she “ballooned up to a size zero”

-(this was her own mental monologue when we heard everyone’s thoughts when Bonnie was sharing about Adam and they were bored, so even if no one else knew, it helps prove the point) she’s holding a mini cupcake and says if she skips dinner and does hot yoga then she can LICK IT, and when she eats it she says she’ll break out the “fat pants”

-her first thought when Bonnie tells her the homeless gala people will see the new and improved Jill (sober) was that she was now 5 pounds thinner and that was the improved version of herself

-says she’s craving a Cobb salad, hold the ham, cheese, bacon, eggs, with dressing on the side, which is lettuce and tomato (give or take the Bistro’s version of it, again, i have a LONG commute)

-when Andy is staying with her watching security cameras, she opens her fridge and only has fruit and water bottles inside

-tells Andy her dinner when she was still drinking was the olives in her martini

They joke about how shallow and vain she is throughout the series, and all of the above were meant to be a joke, as they’re all followed by laughter. She clearly struggled with her self image and placed a lot of her value on her body, and it was always a joke. Her bad relationship with food transforms into a binge eating disorder when Emily reunites with her mom, and they still joke about it and talk about how she looks worse when she’s heavier. Eating disorders are mental illnesses, and a group of women who struggle with their own mental health should have been more supportive of it. Both her restricting and her binging were harmful, and they only started talking about it when she gained weight, and it was never to help her. I know it’s a sitcom, but they handled serious topics so well and I wish they devoted some time to addressing it instead of laughing it off.

I’m on my third rewatch… I think I enjoy the season without Christy the most? Like, I would absolutely watch a show about all those ladies, but I was tiring of Christy’s antics by mid run of the series. Just me? It might be just me 😂

Also of note: the more I watch, the more I appreciated the nuance and development of Bonnie. Allison Janney is amazing!

I just watched episode 9 and now I'm hooked and I can't wait to see what's next to come :)

I love to love Baxter, hes not perfect but has a good spirit. Him & Luke getting high on the roof, losing the joint talking with the dinosaur "well I don't have it" & setting the chair on fire. Getting high at the murder house. And Candace, I hate that I love her. Checking for dust at their apt, smiling when they bought Roscoe the Xbox. Add more!

Tammy for me, should be in jail, sensitive, hard working & I love Adam even if his hair is messy.

For me, it’s Season 5’s Ep 19 “A Taco Bowl and a Tubby Seamstress,” when Bonnie is railing against the Rita, the new apartment building owner, and how Rita doesn’t deserve money more than poor people and Adam breaks into “This reminds me of a movie I did stunts for, "Ski Academy". The rich kids wouldn't let the poor kids join the ski patrol, so the poor kids cut the power to the ski lift so the rich kids were stuck.” And Bonnie and Christy just stare at him. “Anyway I got it on VHS.”

Bonus scenes with blind Mr. Munson: After Bonnie tells him the Go Fund Me she started for him is suffering from his “No fat chicks” tee shirt he wears around the apartments. “How the hell would I know what my t-shirt says?”

I went to watch an episode of "mom" this morning and found out I'd watched the finale before bed 😂 at first I thought "wow, that was pretty anticlimactic. Didn't feel like a finale at all." I was thinking about it afterwards and I realized they had a new feuding mother in the group just starting on their sobriety journey, which brings it full circle to the fact that the show started out with a feuding mother and daughter starting out too. it may not have been a big, splashy finale, but I really apreciated how it brought the story full circle :)

Why does Adam always apologize to Bonnie even though she is in the wrong like an episode when they ate the pot cookies and he apologized to her even though she's the one who went and took the cookies and they were hidden from her and she knew they were hidden from her, but yet he apologized to her. I don't understand.

How adorable is Adam? He gives all his wives friends roses. My heart just absolutely melted. Phew he is one of a kind

I’ve binge watched Mom so many times and last night I caught this for the first time… Season 3 Episode 17 where Bonnie and Adam start dating… At the end of the episode where Bonnie can’t sleep and she wakes Adam up because she “trusts him” wink wink the clock next to Bonnie reads 3:17. Just thought it was cool!
