Arnetia Walker as The Grandma in Bookie
Acting wise she does a good job but she’s a 70 year old who looks 60 playing an 82 year old woman; what makes matters worse is Omar J. Dorsey, the man playing her grandson, is only 21 years younger than her
They look more like mother and son then grandmother and grandson and it’s honestly kind of distracting. Hell when she first popped up I thought she was supposed to be his mother rather than grandmother!
I don’t know maybe Chuck Lorre was trying to do something similar to what he did in Mike and Molly trying to pass off Cleo King as the grandmother of someone 7 years older than her but it looks so much more…off in a single camera sitcom than a multi-cam one
