I personally find her hilarious but other times she can be overbearing. Would love your thoughts.
I just started watching Mom recently and am on the episode where Bonnie and Christy accidentally eating weed cookies, and now I’m really curious as to what the chair design would look like
I cannot stand Wendy!! I think the show could honestly live without her. She just rubs me wrong the entire show. Then in the last season shes sleeping with a married man and referring to him as her boyfriend and she’s just going on as if there’s nothing wrong with that. Blahhh Wendy 👎
Christy is an overall whiny and selfish character who isn't the most interesting, funny, or even lovable character. She's overtly flawed in a seemingly never-ending yet consistently failing ploy at making us feel sympathy for her. I'm not too fond of her character and because of that, the last season is among my favorites.
I'm surprised that no one posted anything about Shirley.
What are people's opinions about her?
My opinion is that I think it's so fucked up that she hired a PI to find Bonnie when Shirley was dying but why didn't she look for her sooner? Also, she abandoned her daughter for a man!!!!! Ugh!!!! She didn't even mention about Ray and not the mention that she didn't treat Ray right so maybe that explains why he became a drug addict. She fucked up her daughter and then you think she would've learned but nope, she wasn't a good mom to Ray. Both of her kids ended up becoming alcoholic and drug addicts well at least Bonnie turned her life around. Idk about Ray, I don't remember seeing him in later seasons. It's ashame about Shirley but obviously she had a messed up life aswell, who knows what her childhood was like. Her kids dad's weren't in their lives.
I have always thought it was strange that when the realtor told them the house they were thinking of moving into had been the site of a triple homicide(and the dog awww) they never even asked if the suspect had been caught. They don’t learn that until they go into town to that little market.
If u have watched the series “mom”, violet and Hayley would have been such bffs
Ewww I hate those 2
Edit : Haley from modern family
( I posted from modern family Reddit )
On my third rewatch of the show I realized how unlikeable Christy is, Anna Farris having great comedic chops is what made her character tolerable and funny.
I'm on season 6 and her constant quips on how Bonnie was a terrible mother is becoming a little flat. There have been countless episodes where she and Bonnie have made amends in their past but Christy never shuts the fuck up about it. Christy also acknowledges that Bonnie's life was rough and her becoming that terrible person and mother was a direct consequence of her childhood and she shouldn't judge Bonnie for it. But the following episode, it's another quip against Bonnie.
It's not just in Season 6 either. I'm starting to wonder why Christy never respected any of her friends and mother's boundaries. I am getting peeved on the episode where Christy won't shut the fuck up when Victor died or when Jill was asking for the money Christy owed. So what if Jill doesn't need that money? Jill lets you stay in her poolside, eat her food, and drink her smoothies. All of that is more than $75 already. She has graciously accepted you in her home. Your incompetence is your own problem.
I have a lot more to say about Christy, thank God Anna Farris was such a great actress. I can't tolerate this woman if the person playing her isn't as charismatic and funny as Anna.
In the episode "Sticky Hands and a Walk on the Wild Side," when they crossed the border and were driving back to CA, Christy pulled over for a meeting in the car. I was wondering if anyone knows whereabouts that scene was filmed. The scenery is beautiful! 🌄
does anyone remember what season the episode is when bonnie reconnects with her old girlfriend and she starts to live with them again?
Hello all, I’m looking for an episode and google is not helping. There is an episode where Marjory tells Christy
“God didn’t save you from drowning just to kick your ass on the beach.”
Anyone know what episode that’s from? Thanks!
I thought the creators were maybe considering her to join the main cast at some point (especially when she started working at the bistro). I liked her quite a lot.
i was just thinking (as i was not here for the planning of this entire show) how did it go from a single mom raising two kids, too only focusing on the group? they kind of just write the kids out of the show and never give us an explanation and i was wondering if there was a reason for this
Hi! I'm rewatching the series, and this may be an unpopular opinion, but I am starting to think that Christy's regression is due to the charisma of the secondary characters from the end of season 3 till the rest of the show.
Don't get me wrong, I love Anna Faris, but upon rewatching the show, I realized the other actors kind of outshine her. Janney is incredible, obviously, but in season 3 we start to get more and more of Jaime Pressly, then William Fichtner, and finally, Kristen Johnston. I just love seeing them and they have great chemistry, which is why I believe the writers focused more on them.
Even Jill and Bonnie start to get more alone scenes than Jill and Christy.
Her stories then become super boring, she doesn't have her kids anymore, her law school storyline is tedious, and even her relationship with Patrick was pretty blah. It's not that I hate Christy, but I keep trying to be interested in her character but the others are so much more interesting.
What do you guys think?
Was Christy in the wrong when she didn't tell Marjorie that Jodie died?
Why wouldn’t Christy just explain to the huge lady what happened and asked her if she could go to her friends and hug them too but instead she took her hug and just stood in the bathroom until someone came to get her then gloated about it. Another way Christy showed she was selfish I mean the hug lady seemed super nice and I’m sure she would’ve. Sometimes I can’t stand Christy smh
Considering they were placed in the same foster family and Bonnie had her friend sleep with Tammy's boyfriend, so they presumably were in the same class.
In real life Kristen Johnston is 8 years younger than Allison Janney.
after the episode where bonnie and that guy go to dinner at his resturaunt, he makes his move and they kiss (i think twice?), what aggravates me is that he forgave her way to quickly for first cheating, then lying to him until her conscious got the best of her.
Hi guys,
I am watching this show for the 2nd time. I just noticed that Regina hasn't mentioned her son at all after she got released from prison.
It would've been nice to see her reconnecting her son especially when life got better when she left prison. (Lucky bastard)
It's like she forgotten she had a kid.
I know the last time she saw her kid, she sneaked in to say her goodbye so obviously her ex got full custody but it doesn't mean she should just give up, her life has changed (apart from drinking again) I am watching the episode where Regina last appeared (I miss her apart from the religion stuff) . I like to think she reconnected with her son offscreen.
Watching the show, I wondered "If I were to attend their meetings, who will I prefer to help me?".
Probably most people will choose Marjorie as the ultimate sponsor. So, who will be your second choice and why?
I'll probably choose Bonnie. I love the fact she forgave herself and found a way to be happy. Because of her tough past and stubborn attitude, it is a miracle she got clean. She's very straightforward and own her faults. I think she can be the most helpful for many different types of people.

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone could help me identify an episode. I am looking for an episode where Bonnie is upset about something and ends up in a bar staring at a beer. Christy finds her and Bonnie says to Christy
“ just let me do what I gotta do “
Or something like that. Then Christy sits down next to her at the bar and orders herself a beer and says if Bonnie goes down, Christy does too. I can’t remember for the life of me what episode it is. Thanks in advance!
Just watching the episode where they go to San Francisco so Jill can get hugged by the hug lady.
Christy is at the height of her smoking and they miss seeing the hug lady.
But then Christy goes to the bathroom and gets one by meeting her in the bathroom.
It's such a shitty thing because she could literally have asked her to hold off so she could run and grab Jill for one.
But no. She just hugs her herself and Jill misses out and has to forgive her.
Which is pretty shitty.
But then she's pretty shitty yo Jill generally.
The gambling her money away. The whole thing with the baby etc. Taking advantage of Jill and her money.
Like I know everyone does the last one but honestly for someone's "best friend", thats just such crap behaviour.
I’m an alcoholic and quit drinking after a stint in the hospital a couple of weeks ago. I was on a psychiatric hold for 72 hours, was forced to detox, and was prescribed gabapentin. I have damaged my liver and kidneys with my drinking and I’m only 26.
I started watching this show just for something light hearted. I’m not a sitcom person, per se, but I do find comfort in shows like this.
I had no idea it was about alcoholism and getting sober. It felt like fate that this is the show I decided to watch. It genuinely helps me with my alcohol cravings. After I was released from the hospital, I slipped up a couple times and went on a couple benders. But since I started this show, I have not had even a single drop of alcohol. I’m in a pot legal state and I haven’t even smoked at all. I’m completely sober.
I’m on season 4 now and so proud of myself. Representation like this, that is honest, really does help.
I was very disappointed when Alvin didn't continue with the show. I think him and Bonnie could have been so happy together. I loved Adam, and he is an awesome character. But Alvin I liked more.
What do you think?
for me my personal favorite episode is titled ‘woo-woo lights and an onside kick’ this id the episode that jill stalks andy. this episode is seriously my favorite episode and it gives me so many laugh out loud moments. what’s your favorite episode if you have one? (it can be multiple)
I just recently finished Mom and decided I wanted to watch another Chuck lorre show and saw that dharma and greg was also on hulu and it's perfect because I was already missing Mom and all the characters and then I see Marjorie is Dharma's mom😭
So dorky to some I'm sure but I always think it's so fun and cute to spot characters/actors in other shows.
