New sitcom: Mike & Molly...

This is one of the most anticipated new fall shows for me.

I miss sitcoms. There's really not many good ones left anymore. In fact, the only one I watch now is The Big Bang Theory.

That'll change tonight though. Mike & Molly is about a cop and a grade school teacher that meet at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting.

Chances are, I'll probably love this as it comes from the executive producer of The Big Bang Theory. It airs Monday nights at 9:30pm starting tonight on CBS.

Here's an extended preview...

UPDATE 9-21: I saw it last night - this is definitely a good sitcom.

The casting is nearly perfect. The only exception being Molly's sister - if she disappeared from the show, I could say the casting is perfect (her character is completely unfunny and unnecessary).

It's rare when this happens with a sitcom, but I actually laughed out loud a few times. And one of those times is when Mike's finger was broken. I saw that clip like a million times in the previews, but it was still funny when the scene came up. That's great writing!

I can see this sitcom lasting awhile. The Big Bang Theory made it and I like that one, so maybe I'm on a roll and everything I like won't get cancelled anymore. Well, maybe that's crazy, but I can hope.
