First
of all, I would like to make it absolutely clear that my wife and I are both HUGE
fans of [Mike & Molly]. Mike is
played to the hilt by [Billy Gardell], and [Melissa McCarthy] more than holds
her own playing Molly.
I’m
not quite sure if it is the chicken or the egg, but since we were already
familiar with Melissa from Mike & Molly, I am going to go with it being on
account of her success on that show that secured her place on [Bridesmaids]. Yes, I well aware of the fact that movies are often
completed years before their actual release, but this is my story, which I am
sticking to.
Anyway,
my wife still wants to see Bridesmaids in the worst possible way, but after
hearing it described as [The Hangover] for chicks, I am having some
reservations. After seeing Melissa on
[SNL] last Saturday, my wife is starting to have some of the same reservations.

Yeah,
I know that gross-out humor rules the roost these days, but that doesn’t make
it funny. Be assured that Melissa was playing
anti-Molly there, and I suspect that she was also playing her in Bridesmaids. Oh, how I hope Melissa wasn’t just being
herself.

My
wife and I have also been HUGE fans of [Andy Rooney] on [60 Minutes] over the
years. For we thought that he was just
employing a very dry sense-of-humor to moan and groan about things that make a
lot of us moan and groan about, but after watching that parting interview, it
would seem that he is really not a very nice man at all.
Hence,
the dangers of overexposure. For my wife
and I now have very different opinions about both Melissa McCarthy and Andy
Rooney, which we wouldn’t have had if they had of just stayed with the “less is
more” rule.
