I don't get this show. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Yong Fang · 04-19-2015, 01:26 AM

Sometimes I watch this show as a sitcom when there is nothing else on and I want to watch something for 21 minutes or so. Besides, this television season in my opinion has been so bad, I find nothing else to watch a lot of times.

But back on point, I do not understand why anyone watches this show. It's one of those, "it is so bad it is good" type of things. I do like Beth Behrs as Caroline. Caroline is gorgeous, sweet, kind, gorgeous again. The show turned me on to the band Disclosure and their song "When a Fire starts to Burn" (with Beth/Caroline doing a booty shake to the song in her "new pants" which was cut way, way too short!) Kat Dannings is OK.

I also like that old Garrett Morris has a good gig in his old age. i thought he was an old, washed up guy by now, but he has worked fairly steady before this. He is pretty good in this, but the guy was doing comedy before a lot of the cast were born or were little kids (like me on SNL, "Base-a-ball has been a veddy veddy good to me!")

What I don't like is the abundance of sex jokes, everything is sex, sex, sex, sex. From the greasy, almost sex offender cook, to his annoying Polish girlfriend, just everything else. I am not a prude, but why is SEX such a big deal? It is just part of adulthood.

Have to go...............

The dialog is pretty raunchy especially airing in such a early time slot. But I still find it funny and always laugh at some their outlandish situations.

What channel in syndication? I don't get to watch it since it comes on the same time as Monday Night Football

I can't stand the way Kat Dennings delivers her lines. She's got nice boobs though. I just realized she's like an attractive Roseanne.

I can't think of a worse show - and I agree that Kat Denning's delivery is awful.

At first I didnt like it, then I started watching more and find some jokes funny but after awhile the sex and penis jokes just get tiring and repetitive, now it seems to be on autopilot and leading nowhere.

Ah, Jennifer Coolidge...

The supporting cast on the show definitely have more talent than its stars, but then again that is often the case on sitcoms.

Sophie Kaczinsky is the character Jennifer Coolidge portrays on 2 Broke Girls.

Almost every time Sophie enters the diner, there would be screaming and applause from the studio audience. With that kind of audience reaction, she'd be like Fonzie from Happy Days or Steve Urkel from Family Matters. I don't even remember the last time a sitcom's studio audience cheered and applauded every time one of its characters showed up.

Sophie: Hey everybody!

Studio Audience: WHOOOOO!!!! (applause)

It's not exactly a classic show but it's fun.

loaferman · 03-18-2016, 05:28 PM

It is light-weight fun, sitcom equivalent of cotton candy. I like the actors and most of the characters. It is so formulaic that it is almost comforting. There is really no plot to speak of so you just kind of go with it.

Most episodes are OK, there are some stinkers, and no real classic episodes at all to me.

I think the cheering for Sophie is some in-joke. I notice most of the time Garrett Morris is laughing at her entrances.

It is just a very average show that I find entertaining enough to watch for 21 minutes when I am in the wind-down mood.

I don't think MP King and Whitney Cummings ever had any idea of a plot and after the syndication deal was done so early on they just went on auto-pilot to make the money.

Unfortunately the rest of the TV audience hasn't as it's been renewed for season 6.

This show is unwatchable.

Kat Dennings voice makes my ears hurt.
