Unhealthy behavior that is actually promoted on this show...

There is unhealthy behavior that is actually promoted on this show. I'm not talking about overweight people monitoring their weight. I believe that is healthy.

The unhealthy behavior to which I'm referring is the idea that someone can just quit a steady job, one in which you need a college degree for, and then to just magically fall into something that will earn you more money. I get that this is a TV show, and it wouldn't be any fun if Molly just sat around the house all day, but from the moment she jumped out the window, the majority of the talk was about how she would eventually make so much money. I don't think that's a healthy way to think, and it is kind of annoying to see it glamorized on this show.

I am really annoyed that on the show she quit teaching to be a writer, I get comedy and that we have to suspend belief but it was just stupid and seemed out of character. She was a teacher, she literally has summers off why quit work and then claim to struggle financially. She could have worked as a substitute. I have to admit I missed a few episodes so I may be off here but I hated the ones showing her as a struggling writer.

There wasn't one believable component about Molly being a writer. The episode when she filled in as a forklift driver at Vince's warehouse put her in a funny situation. But Molly sitting at her laptop coming up with odd ideas just wasn't interesting. The show nosedived from there.

All of the fun characters and situations got transferred into limbo. I agree with others who say that not only taking Molly out of the classroom was a goof up, but fewer episodes involving Carl's Nana hurt as well. Even Victoria faded far into the background.

It makes you wonder what happened to the creative element of this show...it's like it was begging to be axed.

The whole idea of Molly writing books with Peggy was completely inane. It didn't make sense.

The way CBS clustered the final shows together was a disaster instead of spacing them out over several weeks. It was very obvious that CBS had lost all interest in this show.

They are doing the same thing with "The Odd Couple": showing two episodes per week. Who is the programming director at CBS?

"2 Broke Girls" should have been canceled long ago. Both actresses are terrible.
