I lived in Westport from the ages of 12-18 and graduated from high school there. That was in the late 60's. It was somewhat snooty when I lived there as a kid, and it still is as it's a really wealthy NYC suburb that's home to hedge fund millionaires, but that said, the fact that a heavy woman trying to fit in with other women in a wealthy town made up of Yoga moms is so far-fetched, it's unbelievable. It might be more believable if it were set in Beverly Hills, but definitely isn't pertinent to Westport at all. I loved the local package scenery shots (filmed about three weeks ago) as I recognized everything, but I couldn't stand the premise of the show. I really hope it gets cancelled.
okay this was just plain awful and I felt like it was poking fun at overweight people and just don't find anything like that funny at all . I mean don't we have enough problems in this country without shows stereotyping people . Nope sorry katy mixon is not funny in this . Nothing is funny in this .

I think these types of neighborhoods exist in many large cities. I know they have in pretty much every city that I've lived in (and there have been too many). Yes, they pushed the stereotypes here, but they're making fun of stereotypes.
I'm the fatty in my current neighborhood, I live in the smallest house in the neighborhood, and I drove a very old car when we first moved here. I can totally relate to this show. I walk my dogs every day, and the young neighborhood SAHMs give me the quick up-and-down-and-up glance as I walk my rescue mutts (not purebreds??) in my t-shirt and jeans, while they're out there gossiping in their yoga outfits and ponytails.
It's a real scenario and it's hilarious to see it on the small screen.
p.s. Why would you hope it gets cancelled? Just don't watch it.

Because it feels like it's encouraging body shaming, and I don't like shows that give off that kind of a message. I don't like sitcoms in which one character is a bully or a stereotype. I just don't feel they project a positive message.
it lost me in the first minute or two talking about having her first period- it was embarrassing and disgusting- who the heck thought that would be entertaining?
I really liked the commercials. The actual show was a disappointment. I found it too crass for my taste. Also, it was pretty much about her being fat and she's really not that big anyway. Oh well...
