"Mike & Molly" (CBS) -- This show has the possibility to be either really exploitative or really funny.


Given that it's being brought to us by Chuck Lorre, who already has struck gold with "Two and a Half Men" and "The Big Bang Theory," we are leaning toward the latter.

The plot, an overweight pair -- played by the completely, until now, underutilized Melissa McCarthy and Billy Gardell -- meets and falls in love. Expect plenty of jokes about weight and food with a dash of romance thrown in to the mix. What Lorre did for geeks with "BBT," he could do for plus-size folks with "M&M." - CNN.com
