I guess I'm the only one who likes this show?

It's not as smart or as witty as "Awkward," but I'm really enjoying the show. There's not much chemistry between the two leads, but one of them -- Jessica Rothe (Paige) -- is why I tune in.

She was hilarious in The Onion's "Today Now" video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUT8ec24anM

I like the balance between Paige's innocence and Jordan's (Scout Durwood) whore-y-ness.

The running gag that has me dying is when they show all these "trendy" restaurants -- the toast bread place that only serves toast bread, the joint that serves juice in bottles, and of course, "Shhh," a restaurant where you have to keep your voice levels at a whisper.

I didn't like the Pilot, it felt too random, like what was with the guy who lost his monkey. But I liked most of Episode 2. Except for the whole hand-herpes thing, I enjoyed Paige flailing on roller skates, Jordan's bisexual sluttiness, the hypocrisy of the feminist mobile librarian, and the chemistry between Paige and Tanya. And of course Paige's sex dream about a lesbian threesome with Susan B. Anthony and her friend Jenee.
