LAST EPISODES...

Yinkster, please don't take my comments as a criticism. They are not intended that way.

I watched most of the first season--well, half season this show was on, thinking it had promise. I quit viewing because it rarely made me laugh. It seemed like there was too much focus on the love life of the two adult stars, as well as Marcus' interest in girls.

I just looked at the plot summaries of the final 8 or so episodes of this series. "Love life" is the quickest way to describe what I read. Every episode is mostly about the ongoing romantic interests of the three stars. I said to myself "It became a soap opera. No wonder the ratings went down."

Then I came upon your comments, Yinkster. Just like soap opera fans, you are wrapped up in the on-going lives of these fictional people, wondering "what happens next." That has always been the big lure of the soaps, people feel like they know these characters and truly care about how their lives develop.

I think this demonstrates what the appeal of this show was to the people who liked it. Since it was rarely funny, perhaps they should have made it a one-hour ongoing drama (read Prime Time Soap).

I just discovered About a Boy, and truly loved it, as well! It was one of the few shows I've seen in a long time that made me laugh, and made me feel good after watching it. Shows like, How I Met Your Mother, Friends, were like that, but not many fit the bill these days.
You mention Two Broke Girls - I've tried to watch that show, really give it a chance... I realize not everything's going to be my cup of tea. I can find some qualities in various series that I still may not care for, but THAT one is nothing more than an empty shell of a sitcom. It has no soul to it, whatsoever - the writing is poor, the acting is poor (while I don't dislike the actresses, their timing on this show is so off) - sometimes it looks like an SNL skit, only without the wit. It's beyond me how that show has lasted this long on network television!
And, it's truly sad a piece of work so masterfully written, acted, and kept fresh is allowed to escape a network that has the ability to reach so many viewers that could enjoy and appreciate it. This was something GOOD that a family could watch and enjoy together - unfortunately, there's very little of that out there on television these days.

I don't think that Will and Fiona should be a couple, ever. They have a great dynamic as just friends, which is refreshing compared to every other tv show where the characters fall in love. It shows that two characters of the opposite sex can be just friends without any sort of sexual tension. She's obviously way too old for him anyways.

I was so pissed off they just dropped the show mid season and never even bothered to show the last half. I really liked this show. It did not deserve to be the burn from the network they did to it.
