SnoopyStyle Alex Kerkovich (Elisha Cuthbert) leaves Dave Rose (Zachary Knighton) at the altar. This leaves the group of six friends in chaos and they decide to ignore it to maintain their friendships. Alex's sister Jane (Eliza Coupe) is married to Brad Williams (Damon Wayans Jr.). Max Blum (Adam Pally) is Dave's gay best friend. Penny Hartz (Casey Wilson) is the hopelessly single gal.Six friends with interlocking lives, it sounds familiar. But unlike Friends, these six are sardonic and self-involved like Seinfeld while the jokes come fast and furious like Scrubs. Sure it's not everybody's taste, but it's mine and I just named 3 TV shows that I loved. Sadly they never got high ratings and the show was canceled after 3 seasons.
itkatie321 This is a fantastic show that has run 3 seasons as of 2013. In the first season I thought the delivery was a bit off and the characters needed to find what worked for them, but the writing was phenomenal and so I kept watching. I now love this show and find the characters more endearing than Seinfelds characters (which was my favorite show of all shows) The writing is better and funnier as each season progresses which I didn't think was possible. Each character has found the traits that really works for them and rolls with it, and I cannot even decide which character is my favorite, possibly Max, but I love them all. These people are pretty but they never come across as anything more than your average person who experiences the ups and downs of life and you really want to be part of their group. I hope more people come across this gem and watch it, so it goes on for many years to come...UPDATE****** Unfortunately the show was cancelled after 3 awesome seasons since no one heard of it... guess it was on at a bad time or day or something.... when I described how good the show was to several people, they found it on Netflix or somewhere and loved ittoo bad the networks put on reality show garbage and trash the best shows, no accounting for brains or taste
tfox45-575-28954 This is the funniest sitcom since Arrested Development. It's witty, sharp, and twisted. It gets compared to Friends a lot but the characters are jerks to each other in a similar setup as Seinfeld or Curb your Enthusiasm.Elisha Cuthbert who was the weakest link in season one has improved tremendously. She has great comic timing in playing the ditz Alex. Damon Wayons Jr. shines as Brad. He takes all the great comic attributes of his father and adds his own hilarious spin. I also love how Adam Pally as Max breaks the homosexual stereotype. He thinks just like a straight man and is rude, obnoxious, and hilarious.Every member of the cast is great and the pop culture references are as Penny would say "Ahmazing" When you can have a sex dream about the mom on the 90's comedy dinosaurs you are a pretty funny show. Season one is good but season two and three are where the cast really shines. Check the show out if you love Community, Arrested Development, Peep Show and other witty comedies. I liked Friends but I prefer Happpy Enings!
Fifi I was recently introduced to this show by a friend and was left wondering why I've never watched it before. It's AWESOME! As a Chicagoan, the setting has an authentic feel and while I do recognize the Friends-esque setting, the characters are refreshing to me.My favorites are Jane, Brad and Penny and, frankly, I could happily watch a show about those three alone. I love Jane (Eliza Coupe) and Brad's (Damon Wayans, Jr.) relationship - they are hilarious individually, but there's something magical about them together. They are amazingly kooky and have their own relationship shorthand, which is endearing. I can relate to Penny (Casey Wilson) on so many levels - she's just trying to get it right and she's so optimistic, even when everything goes wrong.Max, Alex and Dave are good, too, but they don't pop for me the way the other three do. I do love that they didn't go obvious and flamboyant with Max. All six together do have a wonderful rapport.Great show - I hope it's around a long time!
