2 Broke Girls: The First Season (Blu-ray)A lot of girls move to New York City to "make it." Max and Caroline are just trying to make their rent. In this fun, outrageous comedy series from Emmy® winner Michael Patrick King (Sex and the City) and white-hot stand-up comedian Whitney Cummings, two girls from very different backgrounds – Max, poor from birth, and Caroline, born wealthy but down on her luck – wind up as waitresses in the same colorful Brooklyn diner and strike up an unlikely friendship that could lead to a successful business venture. All they need to do is come up with $250,000 in start-up expenses. Starring Kat Dennings (Thor, Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist) and exciting new discovery Beth Behrs, 2 Broke Girls infuses the classic comedy with something new, current and young, proving life can be fun – even if you're broke.]]>

I am in love with Kat Dennings!
Seriously, I love her SO MUCH! I have never seen an actor who could deliver the snark line after line after line, and keep it as amazingly fresh and well delivered as she does. She has a great team of writers giving her AWESOME lines to deliver, and they are awesome. Even just her delivery of surprise lines like "NO WAY!" is awesome.My wife and I first saw her in Thor, and loved her in it (she was really the only part of that movie we liked), and we were pleasantly surprised to see her in 2 Broke girls alongside Beth Behrs -- even though Beth really just serves as the primary thing-to-be-mocked.Make no mistake, 2 Broke Girls is raunchy. It is NOT for younger viewers. The pilot alone should send that message. And I can see where the claims of racism, etc. come from. But, if you are willing to acknowledge that all sides are getting shot at fairly, and there isn't real racism, sexism or anything else terrible on display (just uncomfortable at times), then you should enjoy the show.2 Broke Girls certainly pushes boundries, but the show is incredibly funny, and well acted. You can totally side with either girl in any given moment, and it is easy to sympathize with Kat's character "Max" when she shows her tender, emotionally-wounded side sometimes, and it is easy to sympathize with Beth's character "Caroline" -- pretty much all the time.Yes, the show is raunchy, and yes it can be uncomfortable at times, but it is still hilarious, and like I said, I love Kat Dennings.5 stars.

Incredibly funny! Not just for girls!
The first 8 episodes are my favorites! I believe they embody the concept of the show better than any of the subsequent episodes. The chemistry between Max & Oleg & Max & Earl is hilarious and I believe the writers need to refocus there.The show is called 2 BROKE Girls so it was very believable that Max had 2 jobs especially since having a small cupcake business wouldn't have made her enough money to quit her 2nd job babysitting in Manhattan and that job could have even helped fund the cupcake business' materials. Peach was a great character to show the contrast between Caroline's outlook on being rich and Peach's outlook on being rich; she was also great to show the contrast between Max's common sense & down-to-earth personality & Peach's complete lack of common sense.Even my husband loves the show! It may have "girls" in the title & have 2 girls as the main characters, but the type of humor & other characters create a hilarious show that both guys and girls will enjoy. Oleg & Earl are fantastic, inappropriate, & original. Everyone will enjoy their moments in the show.

funny show about a rich white girl now broke, living in brooklyn, working at a diner, and a dream of a cupcake business. funnY!
This is one of the best comedies on TV. The writing is hilarious, but the real gem is the actresses and the way they deliver it. It's created by a woman and starring two women so that is why I first decided to support it, but I quickly fell in love. I mean come on Stiffler's mom is in this show ( Jennifer Coolidge) all grown up and still hot as the Polish neighbor who wears clothes too tight and falls in love with Olaf the sex crazed hairy chef. Max is used to living poor with a life of survival. Her delivery of the lines doesn't need a laugh track, because she will have you rolling on your own. Caroline Channing is a rich white girl who lived a life of privilege until her father's ponzy scheme came crashing down stripping her of everything except her clothes and her pearls. She is forced to work as a waitress and live with Max in Brooklyn or be homeless. The show is about their struggles of being poor, working at the diner, and trying to make it with a dream of owning a cupcake business. You can't help but love the story and the characters. 10/10 recommend.

When it first came out I thought is was raunchy. But now I crack up. The main cast of 6 (+ the horse) is exceptional.

Stop complaing about the vulgarity!
The gutter-talk is what I love about this show!!!!!!I liked the writing and the characters until, and thought it was a good solid show until the middle of the first episode when Caroline accused Max of crying. Max staunchly defends herself by claiming she was masturbating.It feels natural and realistic to me. My girlfriends and I talk like that all the time! My stoner friends talk about drug use. And we've had long discussions about the importance of the relationship between a woman and her vibrator. Hell, I've accused a friend of making a penis when it had been a while for her, and all of the foods she "invented" were strangely phallic-shaped.I like having a TV show that actually talks about the realities of being poor, single, and female. You don't have time to be "dainty." When you are around your friends you open up and you are honest like that.Of course it's an exaggeration--it wouldn't be funny if it weren't. It would just be sad.But because they are willing to "Go there," this show won my respect. It's not for children. So be it.
