Mike & Molly Season 4: The Beginning Of The End - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I feel that M&M was really great the first three seasons.

When they changed the character of Molly more to be like that of the roles Melissa McCarthy was playing in her movies, it started to go downhill for me.

It seemed like Molly really loved being a teacher, so to just suddenly quit her job a year after getting married....it didn't make sense to me.

I feel like the show was still okay, but the Molly character seemed directionless and crazy and it seemed like the writers were trying to jazz things up because I don't believe that M&M was ever really a big hit, ratings-wise.

Thoughts....?

I don't tend to like the episodes that are about her publishing books. It was okay for a few episodes but I got tired of it rather quickly.

In the early seasons, she truly loved being a teacher, so it seemed abrupt.

Also, the character of Harry pined away for Victoria and just as she finally fell for him, he abruptly decided he was gay. That never made sense to me and I never understood why the sudden change.
