MOM
July 14, 2014  | By David Bianculli

CBS, 8:30 p.m. ET

 

If you watched last night’s Season 2 premiere of Showtime’s Masters of Sex, you saw some amazingly haunting dramatic work by Allison Janney as Margaret Scully, concerned wife of closeted homosexual played by Beau Bridges. That was last night. Tonight she’s featured opposite Anna Faris in a repeat of this CBS sitcom, portraying the playfully broad comic character of Bonnie Plunkett, an outrageous recovering-alcoholic mom – and recent grandmother. Two very, very different roles, and Janney was just nominated for an Emmy for both of them. For Masters of Sex, she’s up as Guest Actress, and here, she’s up for Supporting Actress. And, for the record, both nominations are well-deserved.
