2 Broke Girls - spoilers

So, what did everyone think?  I was really excited about this show, and I was left very disappointed.  And what about that horse?!?!?!?! Why did they throw in a freakin horse? It is so random and weird.  I think the show had such potential and maybe I was too excited, but I just don't know if I can even watch it again.

Re: 2 Broke Girls - spoilers

  • I agree with you, I had great hopes for this show but wasn't that impressed. I will not count it out yet but I certainly don't have the high hopes anymore.

  • I thought it was really funny.  

    I think you have to give it a break.  A pilot is difficult, they have to introduce the characters and set up the dynamic.

  • I will watch a few more episodes, but I was dissapointed that every funny line was in the commercials.  I wish they had left at least a few one-liners un-spoiled.

  • Maybe it's because I always ffwd through the commercials and had no intention of watching the show... but I was actually impressed. It was funnier than I had expected.

  • I don't get the horse at all. I like the concept of tallying their tips at the end of every episode for the cupcake shop. I thought it was funny and I liked it, but I didn't love it. Since it is sandwiched between HIMYM and 2.5 Men, I will continue to watch it. If it wasn't positioned like that, I'd still give it 2 more weeks, but not much more unless it really turned around.

    I think the horse thing is just that stereotype about rich girls having a strong connection to their horses.  Even though it's irrational to want to keep it, that's one of the only things she feels connected to that she can hang onto.  Like, maybe a normal person having a dog?

  • I enjoyed it.

    I was also disappointed that all the funny stuff was in the commercials but when you have something new that is really being pushed by the production companies, that's what you get. 

    I have a 3 episode rule after last season so even if I was "meh" about it, I'd still give it 2 more weeks. Like PP said, the pilots are always tricky since they have to set up the backstory/dynamic and all that jazz

  • I thought it was pretty funny. I'm not sure it's going to be a lasting show but maybe it will have a good season or two.

  • I was disappointed as well. I'll watch a few more episodes to see if it gets better though.

  • I was surprised that I liked it as much as I did.
  • I thought it was pretty awful and the laugh track was incredibly distracting.  I may give it one more chance though.

    I like this rule. I will definitely be using it with this show. I thought the lines were funny, but delivered stupidly or something.

    That's not going to happen.  It pulled 19 million or so in viewers.  Even considering that it probably got the bulk of that from the TAAHM lead-in, that's a stellar number. I read that Two and a Half Men got a whopping 27 million viewers. (approx.)

  • It was better than I expected but the horse part was dumb.  I like the way they tally the cupcake store money at the end.

  • I thought it was ok.  The horse thing might be to show the blonde's lack of reality.  I liked the cupcake money tally.
  • I thought it was okay and will give it a chance for a couple more episodes, but MH hated it, so I'll have to record it and watch it when he's not around. The laugh track did drive me batty though. Hopefully they'll lay off of it a little in future episodes.

  • I really didn't care much for the show. I just thought it was kinda "there"; not really funny, but a couple of amusing moments. That's pretty much it, just wasn't a big fan.
