I’ve made some bad calls in my career. A sitcom set in a bar? A comedy about “nothing”? A high school glee club? Yeah, right.
My biggest misread this season: CBS’ Mike & Molly, two weight-challenged fortysomethings (Melissa McCarthy and Billy Gardell) who meet at a support group for overeaters. My initial criticism was too many fat jokes in the pilot.
From a ratings standpoint, Mike & Molly is not as strong as year-ago occupant The Big Bang Theory, with a fair degree of erosion from lead-in (and corporate cousin) Two and a Half Men.
