Obviously in the distinct minority; but nothing bout her has ever made me laugh.

Please tell me there are others of this opinion.

Above are the 10 actors who appear on this show (including the dog, Jim) and they are ALL funny and the ensamble works together very well. To me, this is a rarity, even in ensamble shows that I love, invariably there is one person who could have fallen through to infinity that I would not miss. Here, no.

The "breakout star" is Melissa McCarthy, and probably this show is going to hinge on how long her contract is with the show, and does she want to move on to films while the fire is hot. Remember, she was an unknown when this show began and now that she is the star, obviously wants a lot more money and can leverage that. Considering this is a Chuck Lorre show on CBS, she can get what she wants. But I think a lot of the longevity of this show rests on her.

I think she's really funny, but I think her talents are mostly being wasted on Mike & Molly.

I couldn't agree more. For a time, it seemed the show was only about a string of fat jokes.

I would have to disagree Yong Fang that Melissa McCarthy was an "unknown" when Mike And Molly started. She was a series regular on Gilmore Girls. She played Sookie on the show.

Edward216 · 08-29-2014, 10:03 PM

Oh and I also should've said I think she's very funny.

I think Melissa McCarthy is a funny person and I really like Mike & Molly.

Then why are you here?

I've been watching some of the reruns and I find them funny. But right now I'm watching Dancing with the Stars, after it's over I'll watch the new shows of M&M.

She's pretty funny on Mike & Molly, I'm thinking of the time she fell in the tub with Vince which had me laughing out loud. She was also funny in that movie Identity Thief with Jason Bateman. But not everyone is going to like her and find her funny.

I really like her. I think she is 'Real"!! She is a person we can relate to. She is funny , sweet and kind all rolled into one. Molly is like a real person we all know and love, and I just saw her in the St. Vincent movie. Same thing.

Very nice, real , lovely good person, with a good heart and sense of humor !!

I'm gonna have to agree with TMC. I watched her movie Tammy last night and I won't be watching her movies anymore. She has a foul mouth because she always curses a lot. She can be funny sometimes but I think she tries to go over the top too much to be funny. For example, the scene in Tammy when she robs the fast food place she used to work at, she tries to jump over the counter where the cash registers are and I shook my head because I couldn't believe she did that. Then there was another scene where she was standing on the kitchen counter getting some stuff and I was wondering how she did that because I didn't see a chair by the counter. She also hit a deer with her car and she got outta the car and started talking to the deer while she was laying on the street next to the deer. She needs to stop doing stuff like that to try to get laughs from people because her career won't last long. People will eventually get tired of her.

Flying Dutchman · 12-07-2014, 11:13 AM

I saw her in Identity Theft with Jason Bateman. She was the only thing I liked about the movie.

But off topic. She's one of those girls who in a few years will probably lose allot of weight and people will say. "OMG! She's so HOT!"
