Why Is It Still "Mom?"
19 February 2021
The first few seasons you had Anna Ferris with her children, and her mother. The show was a funny look at the dynamics of these two mothers living and working things out together while raising the children. Added to this was some very realistic situation comedy around the AA way of life. Then they got rid of the kids so it became just the older mom and the younger mom with nobody to be a mom to. That's when the show took a bad turn. Anna Ferris's character became more and more like a adult child who became increasingly needy. The show added new characters and continued to lose its funny. They should have renamed it something like "Bonnies Troop" because that's what it's become. I thought I'd give it another try a week ago. I made it half way through. The humor just isn't there, and this annoying laugh track has an audience laughing in the dumbest of scenes.

It's a mess that I wasn't expecting to return this season. I'm not sure if they sent Chrissy (Anna Ferris) off to school or a different job elsewhere, but she just disappeared as far as I can tell. Without her playing off the Bonnie character....There's absolutely no there there anymore.
