Synopsis Anna Faris and Emmy and Oscar winner* Allison Janney star in this hilarious and sometimes heart-wrenching comedy from executive producer Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory). After years of questionable choices, Christy (Faris) is trying to get her life on track, although she's tested daily by her mother, Bonnie (Janney). Together, mother and daughter work to overcome their mistakes and build a better future for their family. Christy's dreams are coming true at last as she begins her first year of law school, while Bonnie attempts to have a healthy relationship with her fiance, Adam (William Fichtner). Through it all, Christy and Bonnie rely on their support system from AA, including the wise Marjorie (Mimi Kennedy), the wealthy and sometimes misguided Jill (Jaime Pressly) and the overly emotional Wendy (Beth Hall). Collectively, they help each other stay sober in the face of whatever life throws at them.
