Mike & Molly

Mike & Molly is a show on CBS from Chuck Lorre about Mike Biggs (Billy Gardell) and Molly Flynn (Melissa McCarthy), two overweight people living in Chicago who meet at a weight-loss support group. Mike is a policeman and Molly is an elementary school teacher, and she first asks Mike to come talk to her class. Then, she calls the cops after a break-in and Mike just happens to be the one to come to her aid. These interactions lead to a mutual attraction between them, and Mike eventually gets up the nerve to ask her out. Dating at their weight isn't something either of them are used to, and as they embark on a relationship they must also support each other in their weight loss efforts. Fortunately, Mike also has the backing of his partner Carl McMillan (Reno Wilson), and although Molly's sister Victoria (Katy Mixon) and mother Joyce (Swoosie Kurtz) encourage her efforts, they are both naturally thin with healthy appetites that are constantly in Molly's face due to them all living under the same roof. As it turns out, Mike and Molly might be just the thing the other needs to find happiness and better health. MORE
