Finally a show with a slacker gay guy that I can freaking identify with.. thank you. I love all the characters even the runaway bride. It's funny and goofy and a cool mix the cray cray people. I can't wait for season 3, 4 and 5. I want to be in love like Jane and Brad... yeah they have issues but in all the right places.

By far the best written and wittiest comedy on TV, with a pitch perfect cast that sells the script flawlessly. Watch at least three episodes, if by then you don't "get" it its not your style of comedy, but if this show makes you laugh it will end up being your favorite comedy. I have the DVDs, downloaded eps already on my phone but this show is near and dear enough to me that I just purchased it on Google Play. And I just realized that that automatically adds the episodes to your YouTube account.

Considering the players are all supposed to be around 30 which is the same as me and my friends its relevant to generation...though an older crowd may not understand the comedy fully the actors and actresses act it all out accordingly....Penny is by far my favorite character....just about everyone can find a character they see themselves in.
