The titular matriarch Cathy is having a garage sale. What could possibly go wrong? Inviting the family, for one thing, with all hope of shifting dusty Roncos dispelled in favour of patience-testing pettiness, not least during a visit from Kelly's sabre-tongued mother. One of the best comedies on TV; a show that makes one wish it were physically possible to hug a sitcom.
Mark Gibbings-Jones, The Guardian, 27th May 2016
There has been some grumbling recently about sitcoms that aren't wall-to-wall laughs and Mum might fall into this category.
