Ok, so this show caught my interest because of it's hot star, Jordana Spiro, and because I love Jim Gaffigan. I tuned into the premier episode last night, and have to say I really enjoyed it. They played another episode immediately after, but I didn't get to see it all.

It's a pretty gay premise, with a tomboy-ish chick who's friends with all guys, but I'm a pretty gay guy, and I like pretty gay things.



This however, is not gay, and I would do very not gay things with her.

Would you somehow work the bat she is holding into the mix?

you wouldn't??

i taped it and will watch it soon. i wan't to give all new shows on tbs a chance

I wanted to see this, but it's opposite Boston Legal, so it loses. Yes I'm still living in the mid-90's no tivo, dvr etc.

But I just happened to see they are replaying tonight at 10 cst so I'll check it out and join in the gayosity.

so i guess i'm the only one who finds jim gaffigan and his whispered asides annoying as hell

I'd put it in her pooper

Don't sell me too short, I am that gay.

I set up a season pass for this show, and have this weeks episodes all ready to watch and next weeks all ready to record.

Hank, its on Wednesday, not Tuesday so your Boston Public commitment won't be affected.

It plays first run Wed from 10-11pm, but they replay both episodes directly after, from 11-12.

I liked the way the girl looked and I like some girly shows, so I said what tha heck, but if more than one of those guy characters gives me the "she's like a sister, I could never bang her" speech, I'm gonna be irritated.

We are guys, a hot girl can never be one of the guys, because at the end of the night, I would never want to bang "one of the guys" but I'd bang the hot girl.

Thats my take on that. That being said, I can't wait to watch it.

But she's got some major wood in her hands. Who's to say she can't swing your bat the right way...?

He made a funny!

so I watched it.

Her voice is deeper than I thought it would be, threw me off. She's still good to go though.

First episode was a little rough for me and the second episode even made me laugh out loud once. I'll keep watching.

This was one of the first things that struck me as well, but I think it plays well to the character. If she had a squeaky girly voice it would make it harder to believe her character

For sho

Yes. One of the best stand up comics out there right now.

QFT. Unfortunately, from what I've seen he doesn't really get to shine in this show. Hopefully in future episodes.

I saw both episodes because it looked decent to me also... and I think it could be an interesting premise. But alas, I hope it gets better... because I thought that it focused WAY too much on relationship crap and not enough on funny. In other news, keeping with tradition, I totally disagree with Keith about Jim Gaffigan.. I find him hilarious... hot pockets.


I'll give the show another chance, because it didn't completely suck, but if it doesn't get funnier, it will quickly be 'un'seasonpassed.


Funny > relationship crap.

2 New episodes tonight. Supposedly some other dude falls for PJ, and and the guys find out about her hooking up with that other guy...


:squeals with excitement:

2 solid episodes tonight. The latter actually had me laughing at a few points. Gaffigan is priceless with his farm toys.

I enjoyed the episodes last night and the show is good enough to keep me around.

I wish the friends would goof on each other more, in a meaner way. Would seem more real. Make it a little edgier. She said "I call bullshit" on the episode, I was impressed. Its things like that that make shows work. Real dialogue. It's so tough for network shows to do that.


One thing that did bother me, she said she couldn't go somewhere because football on Monday, baseball game to cover on Tuesday, then a hockey game on Wednesday. I cant think of a time when baseball, football and hockey are in season at the same time.

They did deal the small blind first in the poker game though.

October

Since when do the Cubs play in October?

and yes, when I asked the question, I knew the only plausible answer was October and I knew I was setting myself up for a joke.


But they make it pretty clear that the Cubs suck and its the middle of the season. Just one of those things that should've been caught.

I didn't watch the show and didn't know they were talking about the Cubs or that it's the middle of the season.

I wasn't making a joke, just thought maybe you didn't follow hockey and didn't know the season started in October.

I was just asking because I wasn't sure the three regular seasons of those sports ever crossed. I didn't think they had.

Maybe she was covering arena football.

I didn't think I heard that right. I was really surprised you could get away with that on TBS, but I guess they don't care, she also said, "You guys are dicks" to her friends, which was another, less surprising bit of vulgarity that I appreciated.

got me rock hard.

then again, what doesn't?

just glad to see real talk involved in a sitcom as opposed to Friends or How I met your mother banter

aaand done.


But yeah, The PJ character is extremely likable, as well as the obvious fact that she's hot. The dialogue, and the interaction with the other characters is what makes it

I agree that 'real' dialogue helps the show... but seriously, I think this show has lost me. It spends WAY too much time with PJ talking to Stephanie about boys. No thanks.

Reminds you too much of your chats with your friends eh?


I'm a fan of the show. I've seen all the episodes now and really am kind of committing to it.

<---- also committed.



can't stop, addicted to the shindig.

I'm still surprised that TBS lets them get away with saying "dick" and "asshole" and such. It really adds to the dialogue and makes it seem more real.

I enjoy the show. I dont enjoy it enough to watch it when it originally airs but I DVR it. She is hot and I am waiting for the lesbian scene.

Anyone else think it's strange that the season finale is coming up soon? That seemed like a short season, but I know nothing about TV

Most networks only authorize a short run for the first season of debut shows as a sort of trial run (anywhere between 6 and 12 episodes, most of the time), then they decide whether or not to greenlight a full slate of shows for the next year.

the streisand

I really enjoyed both episodes tonight.

I really like this show and will be sad to see it go after next week. Hopefully its picked up and they start production for a summer drop in.

Trouty kills me, I love him.

Fuck. I knew I forgot something tonight.

Two more episodes tonight, then the season final tomorrow night.

I'm giddy like a chubby schoolgirl that just got fingerbanged by her art teacher.

Like 'The Office'. I believe only 6 episodes were in the first season, so it's not uncommon.


lovely.

I fell asleep and didn't watch the two epidsodes last night, but it will be that much sweeter tonight when I get to watch 3 episodes in a row. Season finale tonight.

I like Mike and Kenny, but Brandon could be a little more hardcore. He's always got his rock gear on, supposed to be a dj, but he comes off like a vagina. He needs some balls. I get that they wrote him as p-whipped, but he's the weak link on the show for me.

Mike and Kenny should go back and forth some more, attacking each other, but in a way that friends do.

My .02

So I'll prepare to get flamed here.

Other than Jordana Spiro being someone-smashed-my-nose-in-a-cute-way hot, I don't see how this show can hold anyone's interest. Jim Gaffigan is terribly used and is very stifled. The storylines are played out and were better done by Seinfeld, Arli$$, Punky Brewster, the Chris Isaak show, and Friends. The guy friends are all pathetic losers who are not-so secretly trying to get into PJs pants. And overall the show is just kind of mundane.

But, I'll keep flipping back to it just to get a moving picture of Ms. Spiro in my mind before I go flog the bishop.

nobody said it was groundbreaking material or that the acting was brilliant, but the show is entertaining and sometimes has some good zings and jokes in it.

Maybe after watching network sitcoms, my expectation are lower but the dialogue isn't bad in this show. I've watched alot worse.

that being said, Friends was only occasionally funny.

and did you just use Punky Brewster and Arli$$ as examples? Credibility gone.

also, you're name gets me every time because one of my friends had a band locally and the name of their album was The H Factor.

Odd

The Punky Brewster and Arli$$ examples were inserted to set the bar low and a mediocre attempt at humor
Not added for credibility.

But, while we're on the topic of band names. Anyone ever see Funky Brewster play?

Peace and love

season finale last night

this show never fails to make me laugh at least once or twice an episode which is good enough to keep me coming back, but I really think they jumped the shark with the ending. Too soon.

spoiler in white text

why do they feel the need to throw a relationship, or at the very least sexual tension between Brandon and her in the mix so soon? It really could've waited. (Brandon kissed her, she didn't react, fade to black, cliffhanger)

I think tbs.com has the full episodes online, which means another few hours of my life will be wasted staring mindlessly at my computer monitor.

New season starts Monday at 10pm on TBS. IT appears they are going with the 2 episodes back to back. Who else is rock hard?

My tivo is depleted. All I have is PTI and Rescue Me right now. Thank goodness for My Boys.

This guy.

Bump for the season premier on TBS tonight at 10

I'm still pretty hard.

Good show. My wife and I are excited about it.

I think my wife would be down with a 3 way with PJ. Now, only if I was attractive, able to meet the actress who plays her in real life, and had enough tequila.....

I coulda fucked her once. True story. I had a hard-on but I couldn't find her. She's a cutie. The voice threw me at first, but it grew on me.

Good luck with the wife and the 3-way.
