For years I was hoping that she would get her own show...
And then finally! No disappointment!
It's fresh and hilarious! Just watch and enjoy.

White trash Mackenzie Murphy (Kaitlin Olson) and her loser boyfriend Jimmy (Scott MacArthur) drive to Greenwich, Connecticut to see her unsuspecting sister Pamela 'Poodle' Pemberton. They're estranged and Mickey needs money. The FBI suddenly arrests Poodle and her husband Christopher. Mickey is left with Poodle's three kids, Sabrina (Sofia Black-D'Elia), Chip (Thomas Barbusca), and Ben (Jack Stanton). She befriends the maid Alba (Carla Jimenez).The premise is fun and I love Kaitlin Olson from Sunny. There are great irreverent laughs in the first season. I will always remember the birthday clown. As the second season rolls around, it seems like the show ran out of writers. The show stagnates into a standard network sitcom albeit with some wacky craziness. The show needs an antagonist or a romantic conflict. It really needed something but the show ran into the sophomore blahs. It's canceled after 2 seasons.

Terrible, unfunny show with miscast and wasted lead actress. Hugely inappropriate for families, not nearly funny enough for adult viewing. Uncreative and predictable in its plots. I despise the creeping sexualization of children for cheap laughs--this one's even got an S&M angle. Overall message seems to be that you need to work to get rich, because they you can be a terrible person and get away with it. No thanks.

As a long-time fan of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I had reservations about The Mick from the beginning. The first couple episodes felt like a complete rip-off. I immediately recognized every joke that was "borrowed" from the drugs in Alba's beer (Frank put acid in Charlie's beer) to tricking the kids that they ate an owl (Frank tricking Charlie and Dee that they ate human meat). But it does grow into it's own thing and is hilarious! Mickey is not the same person as Sweet Dee, thank goodness, but there is a definite resemblance in personality. She is more caring and tenderhearted, and while I can see flickers of the rest of The Gang in the kids, they have their own personalities as well. This show proves that Kaitlin Olson can stand on her own and I'm excited to see more.
