But heart and commitment mean everything. Oct 17, 2017 | Full Review… Tim Molloy TheWrap Top Critic Beneath the armor plating of punch lines beats a wounded and affecting heart. Sep 23, 2013 | Full Review… Glenn Garvin Miami Herald Top Critic Mom is the first multi-cam comedy to crack me up in a decade. Sep 23, 2013 | Full Review… Andy Greenwald Grantland Top Critic Mom is one of the very few sitcoms on television... to feature characters who are not thoughtlessly affluent. Sep 23, 2013 | Full Review… Willa Paskin Slate Top Critic It's a punch-line shooting gallery, setting 'em up and knocking 'em down, with a rhythm reminiscent of the classic Bob Newhart sitcoms. Sep 23, 2013 | Full Review… David Hiltbrand Philadelphia Inquirer Top Critic Given the number of self-absorbed and annoying fathers on sitcoms, another self-absorbed and annoying mother is fine. She helps keep the party balanced. But she also needs to make the party funnier, and CBS' new Mom does not. Sep 23, 2013 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic This is the kind of show that you want to root for. It's relatable, but if there is any shortfall right now, it may be in the comedy department, because while the show is funny at times, most moments are merely smirk-worthy. Oct 17, 2017 | Full Review… Jason Tabrys ScreenRant Really, though I think it's because Anna Faris is just so damn likeable. Oct 17, 2017 | Full Review… Lauren Le Vine Refinery29 The one real failing of this show is French Stewart. Sep 24, 2013 | Full Review… Angel Cohn Television Without Pity As for yours truly, I like it. A lot. Because I laughed. A lot. Sep 24, 2013 | Full Review… Scott D. Pierce Salt Lake Tribune View All Critic Reviews (40) Audience Reviews for Mom: Season 1 WalterM Super Reviewer I started watching this show because I heard Anna Faris was going to be the poster girl for the show but then Allison Janney stole the show. It pretty much felt like a one woman comedy because the only funny person was Bonnie, the rest of the cast: Single, alcoholic mother Christy, misfit son Roscoe, pregnant daughter Violet, loser ex husband Baxter, all anooyed me to death. However, I do appreciate the aspect on actually showing that addicts are humans too. I did laugh a few times so I think the show can go on for another season or two.
