The girls' chemistry should keep the show breakdown free. [19 Sep 2011, p.59]

After the forced opening minutes, it's the best multi-cam-com of the season. Read full review

Max and Caroline's Odd Couple interaction is nothing you haven't seen before. But thanks to the show's two bright young stars, who deliver their shared dialogue with a nice, natural ease, their scenes together have enough charm and humor to make these struggling Girls look like winners.

Depending on your tolerance for edgy humor, 2 Broke Girls ain't broke, but a greater effort by the show's writers to be funny without being overly crude/cruel would help fix it for a broader audience. Read full review

It could be that, like a lot of sitcom pilots, Broke Girls is trying too hard. But when the jokes work, they're funny, so there's hope. Read full review

For sitcom's premise sake, Kat reluctantly offers Caroline a place to stay, and before you know it we're watching a lukewarm revamp of "The Odd Couple." Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

Sep 19, 2011

The pilot begins promisingly with Max unfurling an Aaron Sorkin-like rant at a customer foolish enough to snap his fingers to get her attention. But after that there are too many one-liners about semen stains and orgasms that aren't clever, just pronounced very loudly to carry over the titters of a studio audience. Read full review

The T.V. show is rough and it is sometimes a little perv, but it makes me laugh, indeed, it is ironic, funny, hilarious, but it fails in the lines. It makes you curious.

Absolutely, the 2 lead characters got stunning charisma which enabled the show to enamour a huge audience. Some characters might need to develop more in order to become 'fully-functioning' characters but nonetheless Dennings and Behrs tandem is enough to solidify the show. With its new concept and promising lead characters, this show might be a frontrunner in comedy television.… Expand

I think that this TV Show is underrated, because I find it very realistic and funny. The cast is great and the jokes are smart. Also, the show can teach us a life lesson, because the girls are poor, but happy (even if Max doesn't admit it).

Kat Dennings: the only reason to watch this show, an actress whose talent are wasted in this mediocre comedy. In fact she is the one who carries the show on her shoulders, because it wouldn't even be "mediocre" without her.

Uncomfortably racist and shockingly dumb. This show seems deluded by the idea that humour is proportional to how loud the delivery is. Is this the worst CBS comedy to date? This reviewer thinks so.

2 Broke Girls has to be the worst 'comedy' ever created and possibly one of the worst TV shows I have ever seen. At times it is painful to watch and you have to feel sorry for the actors and actresses having to perform such simple and basic lines that aren't even remotely funny.

I have2 Broke Girls has to be the worst 'comedy' ever created and possibly one of the worst TV shows I have ever seen. At times it is painful to watch and you have to feel sorry for the actors and actresses having to perform such simple and basic lines that aren't even remotely funny.

I have watched many episodes of this over the last few years and have tried in vain to get into it as I am a massive fan of US comedy. Each episode is riddled with the most simplistic and cliched dialogue which is delivered in painfully annoying fashion by Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs. Other cast members are an oddball bunch of equally irritating characters who provide some cringeworthy scenes that aren't funny in the slightest.

The basic premise of this show is two girls women to make it big with their cupcake business but are always poor and have to look at ways to make money. After 70+ episodes and having not laughed once; I am astonished that they have managed to keep this dreadful excuse of a comedy going as there has been no real cast development or story expansion to drive it forward into new areas. The Big Bang Theory has grown significantly with new and suitable characters opening future storylines making way for further laughs but 2 Broke Girls is extremely simple and one-dimensional and fails on every level.

When you look at the people who have worked on getting this show to air; I cannot believe how bad it has turned out. Terrible scripting, cheesy and pathetic acting and a real lack of a story to keep people engaged has ultimately left this show and its actors laughing stocks for all the wrong reasons.… Expand
