Does anyone like 2 Broke Girls?

CBS is making it its anchor show at 9pm replacing 2 and a Half Men. That shows how much confidence they have in it. I used to think Caroline's voice was so annoying but now I like it. It fits her character.

• The show has gotten much better since Jennifer Coolidge joined the cast. The two "broke girls" also have created a real Lucy and Ethel thing for a new millenium, and all the characters in the diner are priceless. I've started to LOVE the show.

• The acting is awful, I can't get past it.

• I never thought about the Lucy and Ethel comparison but you're right. The casting is great. I don't any other girls can play these roles.

• This is the new Friends.

• Michael Patrick King, who we may or may not love from SATC, is showrunning this. I think he's great.

• I love this show, but I get why some people don't like it. It is exactly my sense of humor. There are some lines that I probably laugh at more than anyone. I like that they characters call everyone out: straight guys and their bullshit, hipsters and their lame fashions, Facebook addicts, superficial chicks, borderline racist/sexist inappropriate humor - just like me on daily basis!

• I adore this show and was actually one of the few shows from last season that I'll be sticking with this upcoming season. I also agree with R1. Just the mere presence of Jennifer Coolidge in any scene gets me all giddy; she really added a lot to the show after she joined. That "Partners" show that is replacing it in its old 8:30 timeslot looks just awful, though.

• I love JC, the girls are pretty funny.

• Ack, you people have awful taste.

• I love 2 Broke Girls, best show on TV now.

• I liked the show in the beginning but lost interest midway through the season. Love Jennifer Coolidge but even she couldn't rekindle my interest in this. And I agree about the bad acting. I've loved Kat Dennings in several movies but she's awful here.

• This and Revenge are the only shows I try and watch. The funny thing is that Whitney Cumming's writing works well when delivered through 2 Broke Girls, but is dead in the water on her show, Whitney. It's an interesting dynamic. On her own show, Whitney tries to be the funny gal and the hot gal, but it doesn't come together, and she seems nagging and annoying. But when Kat Dennings throws that shit out there, it's like a fricken bullseye! I do wish Jennifer Coolidge played more of her own personality, though, and not with the accent. She would be awesome as an older American cougar, like an older version of the two main girls.

• Somehow this has a lot of heart. You really feel for the girls when they experience something new, like Max experiencing for the first time something only rich people do or when Caroline experiences and enjoys something only poor people do.

• I only saw about 10 minutes of it once, but hated it. Seems like a typical dumbed-down sitcom. Laverne & Shirley was tolerable because the leads had enough charm you could ignore the dumb writing, I don't think that's the case with Broke Girls. But I also hated Friends, maybe this show is the new Friends for all I know. And maybe Friends was the new Three's Company. But that's no compliment to any of those shows or their viewers.

• R14 it took you more time to criticize the show than you spent watching it.

• It is, however, a compliment to the pocketbooks of all involved, r14.

• I had the privilege of working on this show this year, and we all had "lunch" at about 1:30am. The two girls really did act like Lucy and Ethel, off camera too. The two of them sat across from Michael Patrick King, and they are all obviously very good friends and laugh a lot together. Though I guess Lucy and Ethel were not friendly at all off camera.

  Everything Zen

• They lost me when the pet horse showed up.

• I know, so unrealistic. What apartment would let them keep a horse??

• Nothing but sleazy sex jokes...hate it. Not smart at all.

• So many sex jokes. I'm surprised this didn't get an X rating. They were talking about Caroline's boyfriend cumming a big wad on her face. Yikes, what if there are children watching. Think of the children. This is primetime television, for pete's sake!

• I tried watching it once. It seemed like every scene was 10 seconds long followed by a clip of that Peter Bjorn and John song. CBS shows love those guys apparently. For whatever reason that got stuck in my head and annoys me. At every mention of the show I get a visual of 2 waitresses, one played by Paris Hilton and the other the brunette with huge tits, just standing there. Then 6 notes of a Peter Bjorn and John song play, and they are standing/sitting somewhere else. Cum joke. Repeat.

• it's a horrible show. both girls are dreadful.

• It's not horrible. I agree it goes for the easy joke, aka the sex pun, way too much. But it has its charm and I think the big boobed actress is great. Her deadpan makes me laugh even when the writing is flat. I also think Coolidge and the show would be better served for her to drop the accent. Also, more of the Rich White Mother of Twins character. She's like Karen Walker: The Early Years. I have an affinity for those sorts of characters.

• My idea of a guilty pleasure. But I think it kind of lost its way and the budget thing (the amount of money they have at the end after each episode) goes nowhere. Jen Coolidge is a great addition. I still laught about her Kardashian line (It's me Kim Kardashian, ... no I am not Kim Kardashian, I work for a living).

• Hate it.

• I still don't understand the purpose of having Garrett Morris there.

• I love the girls (especially Kat Dennings) but the writing is painful.

• The writing is horrible. Stock bitch characters (one blonde, one brunette) with tons of racial stereotypes running around (horny slavic cook, horny asian man, horny black man). Jennifer helps a bit but not enough to save the show.

• The sex jokes are cheap, easy laughs. Let's see how many times we can get the word 'come' to mean 'cum' (really, any fourth grader can cum up with this stuff). But the writers probably see them as groundbreaking envelope pushing. The two girls have the same annoying timbre of voice. Sometimes if I'm looking away from the screen, I don't know who's talking. The supporting characters are walking clichés updated for the Willyburg crowd. Jennifer Coolidge has played that same character (different accents and all) quite a few times. The running gimmick (with the money at the end), just like the narrative to the kids in "How I Met Your Mother" or the hiding of half of Wilson's face in "Home Improvement", is tired, completely useless and unnecessary. Yet I still find myself enjoying the show enough to be relieved that "Two And A Half Men" is finally getting bumped (why don't they just cancel that one? It's shit without Sheen)

• I love it.

• The character of Han is awful. Kat Dennings has the worst timing I've ever seen when it comes to delivering a one-liner. And then there's the stupid waitress uniforms from the cover of a Supertramp album cover, the graffiti-covered subway cars... While I never minded Roseanne working at the plastics factory, her quitting at the end of the first season and jettisoning all those coworkers was a bold move and the show became so much better. The diner needs to burn down. The girls need new jobs and face it, by the time they raise enough for their damn cupcake business, cupcakes will no longer be in vogue. And she fucking makes them from a mix anyway. That revelation kinda killed any momentum toward the business for me.

• I love this show!!

• I didn't realize so many people watched TV shows that they hate. WTF? I can't stand watching TV in general, and only seek out shows that I really want to watch, like this one. How boring is your life to watch and discuss shows you can't stand? Go and watch the hundred Housewives/white trash reality shows which clog the rest of your channels if you don't like it.

• I loved that line: "Just once I'd like to shove my wad in his face for a change!" You could tell the audience was shocked to hear it also. More family unfriendly entertainment, please. As if prime time TV is the babysitter/role model for breeders. Read to your kids!

  Scarlett

• The family UNfriendly appeal is what makes it stand out from all the family friendly entertainment that sure doesn't want to offend potential advertisers and consumer friendly audience members.

• Writing is godawful; brunette cannot act her way out of a paper bag; cracks up at her own (supposedly) funny lines, BUT I like the blonde. She's the only thing that keeps me (occasionally) watching the show. Agree with posters who say Jennifer Coolidge improves things. Not sure if the entitled-acting rich bitch character (early episodes) is still on? ANNOYING off the charts. I would like to see them get rid of all the characters who work in the diner: hideous. Nice to see Garret Morris working; could have sworn I read somewhere years ago he was dead; guess not. Glad CBS giving this show "Two-and-a-Half Men"'s old slot; show is dreadful (but Ashton Kutcher no bad) since Charlie Sheen gone, especially Jon Cryer who USED to be a good actor. He is so beyond-dreadful now I have had to stop watching (maybe is the writing...)

• I'm guessing only extremely old people watch this show. No one under the age of 50 watches sitcoms on CBS.

• It's all right. I much prefer The New Girl though. However, I'm mesmerized by Kat Dennings' giant boobs. I kind of want to stick my head between those things. Yeah, I don't know either.

• Not true, R38. Two Broke Girls and How I Met Your Mother are among the two youngest skewing shows on the otherwise older-skewing network. The sitcoms are the only things I can stomach as their dramas are all essentially the same exact show set in different locations.

• I enjoy 2 Broke Girls as well but the jokes are very crass. I like New Girl too, but my FAVORITE sophomore show is The B in Apt. 23. Krysten Ritter is amazing.

• The most tired racial stereotypes aren't even the most offensive thing about the show. It's that it could be better, but it isn't. It's as if the writers are thinking: what will stupid people laugh at? But you know, a little nudge-nudge wink-wink at the people who "get it" in order not to come off as insufferable cretins themselves. Blech.

• We call it Broke Butt Bitches at my house. Terrible show. Stupid.

• I don't care much for the show, but the camera certainly loves Beth Behrs. I don't know what she has, but whatever "IT" is, she has it in spades. I have no idea whether or not she can act, I'm talking about her looks and her presence. She reminds me of seeing Jennifer Aniston for the first time in Friends.

• I think she looks like a chicken. And the brunette seems to be trying to channel Mae West with her hand on her hip all the time. Classless.

• Beth Behrs's brother Jason is gay.

• Jennifer Coolidge = nails on a chalkboard

• I ABSOLUTELY HATE this show. It's so stupid. Episode 14 where they went couponing at the supermarket is when the show jumped the shark. And in Episode 10 when Max revealed she uses a mix, like WTF? How could you open a cupcake business if all you do is open up a box of Duncan Hines. And the secret ingredient of putting a teaspoon of Pillsbury in the Duncan Hines mix, please, like people can't do that at home? Why would they come to your shop? And as mentioned, the "shove my wad in his face for a change" line in episode 6 was really crass and uncalled for. Chestnut the horse is completely stupid and episode 20 where Caroline takes Chestnut back from his new home is so unrealistic. No Brooklyn apartment would let them keep a horse. The worst episode is where they competed with hipsters they met at the laundromat to throw the best party. First of all, hipsters do not look like that. That guy was transgendered or something. And no matter how rich hipsters are, they would NOT pay $100 to enter a party even if VICKI the robot from Small Wonder was there nor would they pay $100 just to ride a horse. And don't get me started on the season finale. I really thought Max was going to get back together with that hot piece Johnny. Martha Stewart really lowered herself to appear on the show. HATES IT!!!

• Chill r48 it's not like they made Sarah Jessica Parker play the horse.

• They could barely afford rent and they had a horse.

• The whole "Duncan Hines with a spoonful of Pillsbury" is such a ludicrous line. The whole idea of her cupcake business is dumb.

• Seriously, I do like it. Kat Dennings and the blonde girl have great chemistry. Sometimes the line readings are a little off but I like them together. Love rich bitch with twins too. Although a little goes a long way there and she could use some better lines. Jennifer Coolidge is great in other projects. It would be nice if she could drop the accent here - it was all a cover so she could recruit cheap labour - and just be American. It would be funnier.

• Me too, R12 - love this show and Revenge. These are about the only network shows I watch - everything else is on cable.

• It's a silly show and that's why I like it

• Let's be honest, that show got more press and more PR off a handful of dirty jokes than they could ever have dreamed they'd get. Smart.

• this awful piece of shit makes Small Wonder looks like The Sopranos.

• I only watch when Jennifer Coolidge has a major part. She is the only one that can act on that show. The two girls just read lines to one another, but Jennifer is hysterical.

• I like KD. She's good in Daydream Nation. As a horny, young student, I would love to have had an affair with a teacher who looked like Josh Lucas.

• So who is playing Caroline's dad? It looked like Conan O'Brien.

• So the new season is starting.

• Yes three weeks ago

• I think it's easy to relate to because most people are broke nowadays and scheming to prosper or get rich - Caroline is inspiring that way and she does look like she's at least related to January Jones. I like Kat Dennings but she can be a terrible actress. Jennifer Coolidge makes the show, with her half-assed vaguely Eastern European comedy dialect.

• I've only seen the promos for it. But considering those promos pull from the best or at least the better bits of the show as enticements, it looks fucking dreadful. The only thing interesting is, as OP notes, the level of confidence or investment in that crap.

• There are only two reasonsor watching the how.

• This show has too many negative stereotypes...I stopped watching it when I saw the girls were making fun of the asian dude because he's asian and not because he's human.

• I liked when the Korean owner, Han, found out what Rice Queen meant.

• It's crap like this (laugh tracks in 2012!) and what 666 Park Avenue is *not* becoming that make me realize that network TV is dead. The best cable shows are like watching a great, serialized independent film. Network TV is like vaudeville; it just feels incredibly old fashioned and hammy now.

• It's vulgar. Sorry, I am not usually sensitive to that, but it is. Make as many penis, vagina, lesbian, breast jokes as you want, but it doesn't belong in prime time. I even like Kat Dennings a lot, but come on. Lowest Common Denominator.

• Old, black guy jokes, horny Asian men jokes, horny Russian (?) cook jokes. Lather, rinse repeat.

• I really like this show. But I agree with the others, it lost its magic when it was revealed that Max uses cake mix for their cupcakes. I don't know what they were thinking, but it kind of destroyed the entire premise of the show. I like the girls and it's a fun bit of escapism for thirty minutes, but it's not the kind of show I can see myself getting seriously invested in and watching the episodes over and over, like Roseanne or Seinfeld.

• This is the female guilty pleasure that 2.5 men became. I never watched 2.5 but in syndication, I don't miss it. Hate that they put the Kutcher episodes into immediate rotation. Hate those. Won't watch them. Love the Sheen episodes.

• I hate it. Grating and loud and just stupid. Any favorable comparison to the genius of Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance is blaspemous and ignorant. And untrue. Vulgar, loud, abrasive twenty something women saying supposedly "funny" things for some sort of comic "shock value" is not my idea of entertainment. Give me Modern Family or Happy Endings any day. At least the writing is clever (usually) and the casts are talented. The Middle (minus cunt Patty Heaton) has some funny moments. And for mind candy and comfort TV, I like Hot in Cleveland. Just not the annoying, braying gaping maws on those actresses on 2 Broke Girls. PLEASE CANCEL NOW.

• Hard to believe it's Michael Patrick King, creator of the hysterical and underrated "The Comeback." Yeah, don't like it, the actresses aren't sympathetic and the writing isn't that funny. God, "Roseanne" was so much better in every way.

• R72: speaking of The Middle, was that Brooke Shields last night as the white trash neighbor?

• Nevermind, R72, I just checked. it was!!

  R74

• no

• I tried to give it another chance but the show has no real idea of what hipsters look or act like. It's just dumb. And by the time they actually open up that cupcake business, the whole fad will be over.

• Wait- that hipster in the episode where they charged admission for people to come in and ride Chestnut was supposed to be a GUY? Were they also supposed to be funny because they sure weren't.

• [quote]How could you open a cupcake business if all you do is open up a box of Duncan Hines. And the secret ingredient of putting a teaspoon of Pillsbury in the Duncan Hines mix, please, like people can't do that at home? Being able to bake at home has nothing to do with it. People can be talked into buying anything at almost any price.

  Magnolia Bakery, et al.

• Ugh, Magnolia Bakery cupcakes taste like corn muffins.

• I like Katt and Beth but I think they need to dump the cupcake business idea,are cupcakes even a thing anymore?They should get rid of the tiny sterotypical asian guy or maybe have it turn out he was really born and raised in the US and in private speaks perfect english.I like Jennifer Coolidge but the accent and the weird cupie doll smile/squint thing she does when she delivers a line is distracting.I would like to see the Russian/Polish cook naked though,talk about BDF!

• I find it difficult to take any adult seriously who watches shit like this.

• 21st century Laverne & Shirley.

• The fact that it's directed by the awful Scott Ellis is enough for me not to watch it.

• Unwatcheable

• r67, they don't use a laugh track. Next available tickets are for Tuesday, November 6 at 5:00PM. Vote, then head over to Warner Brothers in Burbank and be part of the audience.

• Anyone watch tonight's episode? One of the funniest ones yet, and the new actor they have playing Caroline's boyfriend (Ryan Hansen from Veronica Mars) is HAWT. Much hotter with the shorter hair.

  http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121014175852/2brokegirls/images/d/d9/And_the_Candy_Manwich_1.PNG

• I thought tonite's episode was one of the funnier ones, and that Candy Andy was hot...didn't know what he had done before this, so thanks! Altho i can kinda see one of the setups to hit their relationship...i wonder if Caroline's father was involved in the bankruptcy of Andy's former job?

• tonight: anal, used condoms, half-naked Amish boys, and mocking Dan Savage

• It's idiotic, as are most of CBS's comedy shows.
