Ok.....two has beens have two new shows......

Ray Ramono’s wife, The Middle’s mom, Patricia Helton, has her own show again, and now, so does Mike of Mike and Molly. I have never EVER been a fan of Patricia Heaton.......might give Mike a try, but I’m sure there are tons of other actors they could have used.

and proclaimed anti choice activist. I never cared for her even on Everybody Loves Raymond. I always thought she was kind of a sourpuss.

I really liked Mike and Molly and was bummed when the show ended. Not too sure about this new venue for Billy Gardell, but he’s being wasted in bit parts on Young Sheldon. He’s funny and deserves his own show.

Following Everybody Loves Raymond, she had a 8 or 9 year run with The Middle, that ended not very long ago. That’s 2 rather successful sitcoms. (Did have a dud in between). Now that does not predict the future, but it is a rather good record.

Delta Burke show where her character, Suzanne Sugarbaker goes to Washington, D.C., to fill the congressional seat of her late husband.
It also stars Terri Garr as her press secretary. I've been watching it on Pluto TV, and find it very funny although Patrica's character seems to be a reflection of her real life.
