Re: a history next
marika
as with all sitcoms, i watched the first 5 or so episodes (to be fair) when
it
debuted 2? so i actually know the premise of the show, though i
haven't seen it since. A girl and 2 platonic male friends. I
immediately put it in the "will be cancelled" pile... so HOW it stayed
alive, I
would LOVE to know. So I haven't seen it in and only caught it again
a little while later because they sandwiched it between normal and madigan
men.
The ridiculousest part is that they had to change the name to remove the
pizza
reference because they no longer work in a pizza place, right? well
now, it's not even REMOTELY about 2 guys and a girl anymore, either.
It's about a girl and her husband and a guy and his exgirlfriend (the
alcoholic
dingbat) who is now friends with the married girl, and the same guy and his
current girlfriend whom he is hiding from the rest of his friends because
she is
a nerd. How are they gonna rename THAT ???
I think they did,
They respun the stupid girl into Monk, the stupid boys into a few other
places and then finally set the show on the diagonal and renamed it "Big
Bang" with the girl working for the (suggestive obviously) Cheesecake
Factory
stop already torturin the dorks
