Anyone watching tonight? Looks good, and buzz is pretty good too.

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
The pilot was hilarious and charming. I'd definitely recommend it and think it's going to be a hit.

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
The pilot was surprisingly raunchy. lol.
But yeah, I really enjoyed it. Kat Dennings is the shit, and Beth Behrs is a nice find...and they look like they'll have fun chemistry together.

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
I thought so too, lol. Seemed like an odd choice for a CBS show. I liked it a lot though.

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
Surprisingly funny and charming. The pilot breezed through and I had a smile throughout. The cast seems already very comfortable in their roles and it shows.
What surprised me is that this was co-created by Whitney Cummings. Maybe Whitney would be funnier if she wasn't in it?

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
Well... it's ratings were obviously inflated by Two and A Half Men but wow. I hope it manages to have good ratings in the future, I thought the pilot was pretty funny.

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
The real test will be how it holds in its usual timeslot. It doesn't even have to mach Mike & Molly at all.

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
Considering "How I Met Your Mother" had its highest ratings ever last night, it still has a good lead-in. Plus, reception to the pilot seems great.

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
Two and a Half Men pumped up the whole night. But HIMYM has been impressive for seasons now. It has been incredibly consistent and nearly flat all these seasons while most of other shows experience drops of at least 10% each season.

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
Really liked the pilot. Kat Dennings is a natural sitcom star. Beth Behrs reminded me of early Season 1 Rachel Greene on Friends. Not a huge fan of the one-dimensional side characters though.

Even feature films have problems fleshing out supporting characters sometimes, a sitcom definitely needs at least half a season to really get going with its supporting cast, to see what's working and what's not.

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
I still can't believe how dirty this show is  . Good second episode. "If I were going to go lesbian she'd be the last lez I'd be in" made me LOL  . I wonder how this show will hold up without its huge lead-in. I'd like to say the second episode could do 11 Million or so but it could be less unless it grows from How I Met Your Mother.

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
Second episode was hilarious. "I will not meddle in relation-chips" "You laughed about that until you threw up"

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
Yeah, this show's a keeper. Really liking it so far. Kat Dennings got all the attention before this premiered, but Beth Behrs is equally good.

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
I liked the second episode too, the leads work really well for me.
Only thing that really bothers me is the Asian stereotypical boss...

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
I wonder what it would be like for the generation of viewers who were shocked at I Love Lucy incorporating a pregnancy storyline into the show to see Max saying she was masturbating on 2 Broke Girls.
This is certainly one of the best "laugh track" sitcoms in the last few years. It kind of restores one's faith that a show can be funny in that rat-a-tat-tat setup that "laugh track" sitcoms employ, as opposed to the standard single-camera sitcoms. Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs are awesome. Garrett Morris is funny in his limited screen time.
Still not a fan of Oleg or Han Lee.

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
I almost think I love this show more than New Girl.

 Re: 2 Broke Girls
This year's most consistently funny sitcom and not only among the new crop of sitcoms but quite possibly overall.
