CBS' new sitcom isn't sophisticated. It's probably not going to be on a lot of Top 10 lists. But "The McCarthys" is laugh-out-loud funny. It centers on Ronny (Tyler) Ritter, the gay son in a boisterous family who is his mother's (Laurie Metcalf) favorite — and she's an instantly unforgettable TV mom. Throw in Dad and three more siblings, and this sitcom is a hoot.
