"Great"

Not a bad show I like the lead character, seems like this could he a funny show but like the other review mentioned its too clich, they need to make it unique those are the types of shows that are successful. I mean look at the Simpson's that is the reason its been on for 17 seasons because it was soo different, but I digress, I do like this show it is funny and I must say I love the 2 lead women of the show. I especially like Sarah Alexander, she used to be on a British show called Coupling and I must say she is very good. However, I did enjoy the plot of the episode as we see that the Lead male character is in love with Sarah Alexander's character and gives up a night with a very attractive woman, because he has true feeling for Sarah Alexander's character. I hope they keep building on up show, because it has a decent time slot right behind Scrubs, and if its even 70% as entertaining as Scrubs I would watch it.moreless

Felt to much like a sitcom, but it was funny.

There of course was a laught track, which I don't think anybody really likes, but it makes it easier for the show to use. Some of the setups are built up for someone to give a snappy answer. There is an annoying nerd character. A fat white guy friend. A best black guy friend. If you can get past the sitcom cliche than you will like this show. It is entertaining and the two lead girls they have are both cute and they sold me... on the pilot episode anyway. Also the lead actor is likeable and funny.moreless
