For 'Mom' fans, it was a bittersweet evening. On the one hand, we could not wait to see what comedic genius the writers would come up with for the series finale. On the other hand, it was the series finale. After eight seasons, we have come to love these characters like a family and now they have been ripped from us. Chuck Lorre has said to continue, it would be too expensive. It's still a tragedy. This season, even with Anna Faris gone, has been phenomenal. The addition of Kristen Johnston was a brilliant move and Beth Hall has had a voice like no other. So, how did CBS end 'Mom' after all these year?
-Andy and Jill got married in the town hall
-Adam has lung cancer but they caught it early
-Tammy was able to confront the judge who sent her to jail and tell him how great she is doing
-Bonnie saw a new selfless side of her and realized how far she has come and truly loves herself (hasn't she always?)
It was not the best ending for a comedic series. It was lackluster and short on true laughs. Many fans felt it deserved an hour and we agree. There were no flashbacks. It was just straight and simple. Fell flat at some moments. Some believe the door is being left open but it really felt like we had made a long-term investment with small return at the end. However, the acting, as always, was amazing and, for that, we are forever grateful. What did you think of the finale? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter @3icecubes.
