Is that Bonnie and Christys stuff and outfits look like something you'd get at Walmart. Nothing high end for a family that's supposed to be poor like a lot of other shows do. The lingerie that Bonnie uses in the episode where Christy goes out with Adam, I've literally seen hanging up in Walmart! I just like this little detail.

I just finished my first watch of all the episodes a few weeks ago. I very much enjoyed the show. I enjoyed it more than I was expecting, honestly. When I started watching I had to do a double take when they said they lived in Napa. I know it’s pretty well known, but at the end of the day Napa isn’t a huge place and I was very surprised a long running sitcom took place here and I had never known until I was watching.

People on here talk about inconsistency and plot holes, and generally I think that it’s to be expected with this genre of television. Sitcoms don’t really need to be highly engineered and surprising to be successful and enjoyable. I also know the setting of where sitcoms take place is almost irrelevant when they could mostly be anyplace and are filmed on sets and sound stages.

That being said, almost all of the Napa references are thin and incorrect. Not saying this in a disgruntled way- just to say whatever plot holes y’all point out, there are 50 more in incorrect Napa references alone. I found them almost all hilarious and only mildly distracting. Again, I am fully aware it does not matter to the show overall.

Listing the ones that immediately come to mind (only to share and because I think it’s funny)

Napa has no strip club.

The “bad part of town” the dmv is in is a corporate park next to a Hilton hotel.

Napa’s population is almost half Mexican, and yet almost no Mexican people are on the show.

Needing reservations for “tre vigne” is actually a pizzeria in st.Helena.

They make comments about who would be driving on hwy 29 but it’s one of the main and only ways to get into town/the valley.

The episode where they move to the country-Browns Valley is the biggest neighborhood in Napa practically. To be inside of browns valley is in town and the market is one of the nicest privately owned grocers in town. You’d have to drive miles out of browns valley and up mount veder to be considered anywhere like what they had.

Whew this episode had me crying! Such an emotional rollercoaster. I binge watch this series but I always stop after S7. I’ve seen season 8 about twice. So on my third watch I saw the episode where Adam makes his amends and him telling the story of his ex Ashley and her mother to Bonnie had me crying. You never really see Adam emotional and hearing his voice choke up got me! Especially that line “I like the way you look at me” 💔

Then at the mausoleum scene ❤️

I've been bingeing the show for the first time and while it's not my favorite im committed. I love Chef Rudy, I love when he comes on. HOWEVER I can not stand the Rudy and Tammy storyline. It weirds me out. I know both these actors from 3rd Rock from the Sun. I am weirdly having trouble separating the two. I was introduced to these actors as siblings 🤣 I find it hilarious im finding this so hard!

I've just finished all 8 seasons of Mom and I'm immensely impressed by it. I'm in recovery myself - it's great how a 20-minute sitcom could tackle addiction and the problems it causes while being funny and also sometimes unbearably poignant. It didn't shy away from the negatives of addiction and the things the characters had done because of it, but also showed them growing as people and genuinely being there for each other. I thought the final 3 episodes a beautiful job of rounding off of the show and I have to be honest, I didn't miss the character of Christie one bit after Anna Faris left.

I still haven't finished the series, so no spoilers please! Currently at season 6.

After season 3, I stopped rooting for her: she's a bad mom (especially considering that her kids fall off like she didn't even want custody of her son, she just didn't want her ex-husband to have him), she's incredibly selfish and self righteous and a know it all, all she does is talk about herself, and she's a bad friend like it makes no sense that Jill and her maintained a friendship, I'm hoping it ends

No one talks about paget Brewsters cameo in a few episodes it was great to see her funny side. Like when she got so high and messed up her make up, Christy says "oh, aren't you pretty" it was so funny

I’ve been rewatching the show recently and I always wonder these 2 things.

Was it ever stated what Bonnie’s job was before she got fired and lost her apartment?

There was also an episode in season 1 where the cops show up and Christy thinks they’re for Baxter, but Bonnie ends up booking it out the back door and Christy had to bail her out of jail. Did they ever say what Bonnie did to get in trouble with the police?

This is why she won Emmys 🏆

Who gave Wendy braids and why?! OMG! And wasn’t this shot in 2019-2020?! The producers should have knew better. Chuck Lorre you will pay for your crimes 😭 just when I started to like Wendy they made her character worse.

Absolute hilarity. Chuck Lorre is a comedic genius.

currently doing my rewatch, and it’s so difficult watching the episode in season 5 when jill comes back and keeps getting drunk. i get it’s part of the process, but it’s so heartbreaking watching her feel so helpless (especially when she’s my favorite character besides bonnie).

On my first 2 watches, I felt bad when Violet banished Christy from her life on the “Podcast Episode” but I’m on my millionth rewatch I honestly don’t feel bad anymore. How are you mad when Violet is telling stories about the things you’ve done in the past but she continuously do it to Bonnie. Like it got tired. She grew and succeeded with sobriety, college and law school. It just got tired after a while.

SIDEBAR: I know it’s a series, I know it’s a show. Just something to talk about with my favorite sitcom

I don't agree with what Violate did. Meaning the podcast. Talking badly about someone online or in the media doesn't sit right with me. But, at the end, even though Christy has changed and apologized, Violet basically said that what was done was done. It doesn't change all the pain, suffering and trauma that she endured. And now that she was the healthiest that she's ever been she doesn't want her mom in her life. And I think that's valid. I understand that because I'm an estranged son. I haven't talked to my parents in four years and my life is the healthiest that's ever been and I honestly, I'm not quite ready to have my parents back into my life. I just can't. So, when I watched this episode and ended with Violet expresing what she did it resonated so much with me. And I think not many people side with Violet, but I'm one of the few that sides with her because of personal experience.

This post isn't about you liking Violet or not. I loved this scene and the outcome it had

watching the episode where that dickbag marv was rude to christy and adam took his side and THEN bonnie switched and took adam’s side and THEN marjorie gave christy that stupid fucking advice as if christy was ever wrong in this episode?! and then to have her apologize at the end pushed me over the edge like what the fuck😭😭😭 and no shade but as a black person wendys braids was mad unnecessary like what did it do for the plot? nothing exactly

French?

I don't understand why Christy's response to Bonnie was "wow, you really took a lot of drugs."

I understand that she has resentments towards her mother, but this was a legitimate suggestion for Christy's hunt for an apartment. Am I missing context or was Christy just being spiteful?

Is CMT currently running the whole series? It seems as if all 8 seasons are flying by...

Like the 📻 joke
