Episode 2 was Brilliant! (no spoilers)

I didn't like the first episode because it reminded me too much of Friends. No sin here, because all sitcoms are and will be compared with either Friends or Seinfeld.

However, after watching the second episode I must say that I see the show's real potential, and I look forward to watching the upcoming episodes. Now I start to understand each character's personality, some of which of course remind me of Chandler and Phoebe.

Episode 2 was so funny, that I can't help wondering why it wasn't choosen as the first episode of the show. First impressions count, everybody knows that.

So I say: let's give 100 Questions a chance. It started very poorly with a weak pilot, but let's not forget that Friend's pilot was awful.

Are you an intern or something? Because seriously, I'd like to hear any vaguely plausible reason why a group of sexually experienced twenty-somethings in New York never considered, over a span of days, that someone might be bisexual.

Now, I know that the basic sitcom premise is milking situations that are easily explained if anyone bothered to ask, but in general, they don't involve a half hour of people acting like there's no such thing as a bisexual.

I loved episode two. I think this show has potential and needs a few more episodes to get it rightt. (Mainly get rid of the laugh track) Many shows started out weak and lot of people hated them, but later became very successful. Seinfeld is a prime example. Give it time to breath people.

I'll admit, this show just hasn't hit any kind of stride for me, and I still haven't laughed at it yet... that said, I have watched all the episodes so far... but either way, you don't have to worry about us giving it time to breathe (whether we like it or not, we do seem to be watching it), you probably have to be a bit more worried about NBC... you may have noticed (especially recently) that they aren't exactly the types to let a show find it's feet before they yank it off the air, or do some sort of overhaul...

This must have been the first time you watched TV. There's no way a person with a mental capacity greater than a single pea( I believe a pod of peas would have the intelligence to just turn this sh*t off) could enjoy this. That or you were just lobotomized.

The writing is awful to the point that I question whether there was a script or a coloring book. The acting is offensively bad, despite the main girl's good looks. I think the blonde girl might actually be retarded, and not in the ditzy way her "character" is. Seriously. Mentally. Deficient. There is no comedy whatsoever in this show. It's a series of attempted(and of course failed) one liners and basic communication errors played for laughs. Oh, how different the sexes are!

There are so many reasons why this show should never have seen the light of day.

I hope the "creator" doesn't believe he's actually created anything. He saw an episode of "Friends" and decided to make THE SAME *beep* THING.

This show is so unbelievably horrible. It just shows that there is no room for creativity or originality in mainsteam American entertainment. From the rehashing of our popular music to Mission Impossible 4, oh, excuse me I mean Knight and Day.

*beep* those who watch this, perpetuating this cycle. We are getting stupider by the day. It's like we were collectively fed paint chips instead of Gerber as children.

Poor US.

you've watched it so therefore have'nt you also played a part in perpetuating the cycle?

I think you were addressing your comment toward me, pathenigen, so I'll give you an answer to your rude reaction. By the way, I don't like the show either. At all.

This must have been the first time you watched TV. There's no way a person with a mental capacity greater than a single pea( I believe a pod of peas would have the intelligence to just turn this sh*t off) could enjoy this. That or you were just lobotomized.

First off, I'll tell you that I probably know a good deal more about how TV works than you do, and I can further assure you, that even to me, I probably see an unfortunate amount of it on a daily basis. I'll let you believe me or not. Furthermore, I watch the show BECAUSE of how bad it is. I cannot believe that this show ever made it to air, and so, to me, to watch it, is the colossal joke. To go on, my watching it has literally no effect on whether or not it gets picked up. No one even knows I'm watching it. I don't count in the ratings, much like most people here.

*beep* those who watch this, perpetuating this cycle.

I would agree with this, but this show is dead is the water. It was dead on arrival, as a matter of fact. You've wasted your time getting waaaaay too worked up. Relax - this show is going to be gone after 6 episodes.

We are getting stupider by the day.

Well, that sentence just says it all. Clearly, you make sense to be the judge of how much "stupider" we all are, having watched this program.

Honestly, the show is bad but it's not horrible. There are much worse programs on the air currently, and there isn't much competition for it in that time slot anyways. It's also not like it tries say that it is good.

I think people tend to be a bit over dramatic, either that or they have a dangerously low amount of patience.

I'm not sure what your deal is with modern entertainment, but you can try to make it better by coming up with better ideas yourself, rather than giving up and complaining about it on the internet. I'm just saying if the tactic of complaining about what's on TV doesn't really work in the past then why would it work now?

Though I admit, I agree that networks and studios don't take many chances anymore, especially in this economy, but maybe that just means as a writer you still have places to improve, like keeping your story but making it more mainstream or appealing to a wider audience.

I was going to make my own response but you said it all.
