Am seeing a "comedy" series that is shocking me/old-man. "Mom" [View all]

Over the past many scores of years I have not kept up with series while they were live, have caught up with a *very* few in re-runs, and I don't know the status of this one since it's on TV-Land (re-run?). Well, the themes are shocking (to me) and the music score enticing (classical), and I don't know what to make of it. More from the Big Bang shop.

Mom

follows Christy Plunkett (Anna Faris), a single mother who, after dealing with her battle with alcoholism and drug abuse, decides to restart her life in Napa, California, working as a waitress and attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Her mother Bonnie Plunkett (Allison Janney) is also a recovering drug and alcohol addict. Christy's daughter, Violet (Sadie Calvano), who was born when Christy was 16, has also become a teen mother by her boyfriend, Luke (Spencer Daniels). Christy also has a young son, Roscoe (Blake Garrett Rosenthal) by her ex-husband, Baxter (Matt L. Jones), a deadbeat but likable pothead. As the show progresses, it adds themes of real-life issues such as alcoholism, teen pregnancy, cancer, homelessness, gambling addiction, domestic violence, death, rape, drug addiction, relapse and overdose.
