A pregnant teenager, the daughter of an unmarried mother and granddaughter of another, is repeating family history. Does she decide to keep her baby and do her immature best to raise it, or choose adoption for her offspring?
That quandary anchors the season finale of CBS' "Mom" (9:30 p.m. EDT, Monday) a freshman sitcom that has balanced punch lines and pathos in tackling alcoholism, cancer, broken families and other weighty themes.
Any one of them would have fitted what TV sitcoms once somberly heralded as "a very special episode," but they are the bread-and-butter of "Mom," starring Anna Faris and Allison Janney.
