British Comedy Guide

Mike & Molly

I see that this is coming to Paramount UK soon. Does anyone know anything about it? It's made by the makers of The Big Bang Theory and Two And A Half Men.

It's not on the air in the US yet. They've made the brave decision to feature double fat couple; which I think only Rosanne and Family Matters have managed to pull off with any success. The classic is of course The Honeymooners model, with the fat husband and thin wife i.e. The Simpsons, Flintstones, King of Queens, Still Standing, Family Guy, Ideal etc.

Seen 3 episodes so far of it on Comedy Central and fairly impressed. Two main characters are likeable and the Mum and Mike's mate are great supporting roles. Just hope they don't overdo the usual and predictable 'fat people falling over a lot' joke too much.

Not seen any, but yes, from the ads it does look a bit 'Woo! Fat people are funny!'

I thought it was ok, but not one I'd make a point of watching.
It's not really my cup of tea.

Of the American imports, I'm enjoying Modern Family & Better Off Ted at the mo.

Yea definitely Modern Family along with The Office is one of the best around at the minute. Can be ingenius at times.
