God, I love Mom (especially Allison Janney), but I fear that throwing Octavia Spencer and Jaime Pressley into the mix while relocating the son and daughter so soon into the run of the series may be early warning signs that the writers are fishing out of desperation. I remember when this sort of thing happened to Fired Up with Sharon Lawrence and Leah Remini. They reshuffled the cast second season and redirected the focus and tone of the show. It died quickly after that.

I appreciate that you never have to have seen any previous episode of any of their shows and yet, after 15 minutes, you feel like you already know who every character is and what that episode's end point will be.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I think I preferred CBS' portrayal of the class struggle by showing us two women with three children who managed to afford a Greenwich Village basement apartment with only one of them working.
