I am glad that Chuck Lorre is making another show but I think he should just stick to Big Bang and Men for right now!!! CBS’s line-up for monday would be Chuck Lorre and HIMYM night!!! just like what Fox is doing with its sunday night!!!
Two people who meet at a weight loss support group…” yea there’s no way this will be a series of half-hour fat jokes.
Cast Jodie Sweetin!
Okay, I love the Big Bang Theory and all, but why does every CBS sitcom have to be developed by Chuck Lorre? There’s gotta be some fresh talent out there!
Oh good. More crap.
Have you seen the sitcoms out there? There garbage.
CBS only knows how to spin of shows, CSI, NCIS, so why not use Lorre and his successful track record.
Bill is awesome and has such natural talent in everything he does. Always want to see him in more spots. Love, Mom
if Billy Gardell is in this show, then it will be amazing. He is a regular on WDVE and is an awesome act at the Improv! Good Luck Billy
Saw the pilot being shot last night, it was GREAT!
I can’t wait for the release.
Billy Gardell is amazing. I can’t wait for this!
Is making fun of overweight people the only thing not termed as hate speech these days?
Why do people assume that the concept behind this is making fun of fat people? It’s like assuming that The Big Bang Theory is a show that makes fun of nerds. Yes, it pokes fun at the stereotype, but more importantly it endears the viewers to its characters.
If anything, I would expect the idea behind this sitcom to make funny and likable characters that those of us without perfect bodies can relate to.
Billy Gardell is one of the BEST comedians in the world, both as a stand up and an actor. He will be the new millenium’s Jackie Gleason. He has paid his dues in clubs, movies and helping other actors sitcoms become successes. It is Gargell’s turn now and we should keep our TV’s on when Bill is at work.Plus, the supporting cast really looks great. Good Luck Mike and Molly!
Billy G is a natural…This show will be a laugh so tell all your friends to check it out. GO Billy from your fans and family in the burg. Hi to Linda(your cousin Paul)
Haha! My name is Molly, and my boyfriends name is Mike lmao! When my friends would tell me about this show, I thought they were kidding lol Guess not!
That was a great pilot, Ilook forward to watching, and following the rest of the series. I hope they continue “Big Bang” as well.
I get a kick out of this show. I haven’t watched the show, but I have seen the previews. My name is mike and my girlfriends name is molly how ironic? We have been dating for 3.5 years. We are not overwieght though. I would like to speak with the producer.
