I absolutely love "Mike & Molly". Very rarely watch sitcoms but this one is something special. Always adored Melissa McCarthy on Gilmore Girls. It is nice to know that TV can divert some of the attention from plastic faces,surgically enhanced bodies and horrendous writing to something genuinely fun and endearing. Hope the show has a long run.

Getting the magazine lots of publicity is her job. She did a great job of that by showing how petty she is. She'll probably get a raise and be encouraged to write more of the same.

To Maura Kelly (such a shame you have a good Irish name that you've sullied) : I've never once read the magazine Marie Claire. I do watch the show Mike and Molly. I love Melissa McCarthy in this role, as I loved her as Sookie on the Gilmore Girls. The others actors are very good, too. That is the point. They are great actors, no matter their size. You're trying to start controversy where there is none. You've rattled the bigots out of the walls, including yourself- people who hate fat people and people who hate skinny people. Everyone has a spokesperson. If you don't like to see fat people, turn off the show, and if you don't like skinny people, don't watch. That sends a message the tv producers understand beautifully. The above mentioned show is doing pretty well. The actors are great!

I find it very sad that any person would comment on others in the way that Maura Kelly did. I am very saddened by her remarks and that she could be so insensitive to others in that manner. I have struggled with a weight problem all my life and a day doesn't go by that I would love to be thin and stay that way. I have been thin at different times in my life, but mostly I have been overweight. I do not make comments on others and make them feel lesser just because I don't like their size. Either thin or overweight. It is a choice some may say, but some of us may have chemical imbalances or maybe we just like to eat more than the average person. I figure if she doesn't have to pay for my food or take care of my Doctor bills then it should not be her right to comment in such a hurtful manner. Once you walk in the shoes of another please don't comment unless maybe you are willing to lend a hand to those that may be suffering on the inside and obviously on the outside.

Hey Maura Kelly, you're not something special to look at yourself
