Trivia
Jon Cryer has a brief cameo appearance as a customer. He was still starring on "Two and a Half Men" which was also produced by Chuck Lorre. While there is no onscreen indication that he is playing Alan Harper from that show, his behavior is supposed to lead the viewer to think he is playing that character.

Goofs
Bonnie makes a big fuss about asking the waiter if the tea had been decaffeinated and he says yes, repeated several times. There is only one problem with that: mint tea cannot be decaffeinated, for it has no caffeine to begin with.

Quotes
Christy: Violet, I can't tell you not to have sex at your age, because I had sex at your age.
Violet: Mom, I'm not having sex.
Christy: Unh, don't lie to the woman who washes your sheets.

Hi Mom

A sharp and funny pilot for 'Mom', another sitcom off of the Chuck Lorre production line.

With good performances from Faris and Janney (whose character is like the one she played in 'Mr Sunshine' but x10) this show displayed its potential.
