Fat Jill
What's the point of this? To show another kind of addiction?
shareThey were hiding her real life pregnancy. Without making her pregnant on the show, or to only show her from the mid up hiding her behind couches and keeping her dressed in overcoats all the time as other shows have done.
shareOh. Odd choice, though. Let's make her look even more fat. Maybe she thought it up.
shareShe probably has the best comic timing on the show.
The fat suit kind of ruins it, because she becomes the joke.
Gosh, everyone has great timing on Mom, don't they? Excellent cast all around. She was really good on My Name is Earl, too.
I agree about the fat suit becoming the joke. I don't think that was the intention, though. I think they genuinely thought they'd address how eating can be an addiction to an addictive personality. I don't buy, though, that the character gained so much weight so quickly.
Yes it's a very good ensemble cast of pros and they have good timing. But she really stands out.
shareI think it was a great way to hide her pregnancy and they didnt let it go on too long.. When she returned, they addressed that food can be an addiction as well.
shareYeah, I get WHY, but they made her HUGE. I can't see someone getting that fat that fast, let alone losing it as fast as they portrayed. Even if you had gastric bypass surgery, you'd have sagging skin, etc. Just didn't seem realistic.
shareYes I agree... I guess a half hour show has to speed up the process. And they did make her huge too fast.
