Mad love follows the adventures of four friends in New York City. Two (Ben and Kate) are madly in love in love, and the other two (Larry and Connie) despise each other, at least initially. The show is your generic sitcom, and every episode goes pretty much how you would expect it to. But it is still a cute little show. Larry and Connie are the best part of the show. Their chemistry is great, and I love their little quips, their banter, and the sexual tension that is between them. There are only 13 30-minute episodes, so you can binge it all in a few days if you really want to.
Britany Snow also makes a guest appearance in one episode, and honestly, it's probably the worst episode of the show. Brittany Snow is my all-time favorite actor, but the episode kind of stinks. I wrote a more in-depth review on why I didn't think it worked on the episode's page if you are interested. Also, I didn't love the ending of season 1. I think they were trying to set up a second season. However, since that didn't work out, it just feels awkward. But overall, I did enjoy Mad Love. It's a little hidden gem, which deserves more credit than it got.

Well... the pilot is the worst episode till now, and we already get to see 4! So, if you're in doubt, don't see the reviews from people who just saw the 1st one, because it gets so much better, and by 4th episode I was already laughing hard with some moments, definitely the best till now and a great episode overall!
The pilot kind of gets the feeling of How I Met Your Mother, and I think it was intended that way, but the next episodes are definitely different and much better, and the feeling completely disappears. Another great thing is that the characters turns out much more likable and believable.
So, my recommendation is: please don't discard the series just because of the pilot, because that is the worst episode at all levels, and the others are so much better!

Mad Love is entertaining enough, but if you're looking for the next Friends, or even How I Met Your Mother, then you might be disappointed. The show really does seem to be HIMYM "Light", less characters but the characters have the same types of personalities. Also, I think most of the cast has appeared on HIMYM at some point in time.
I really didn't have any expectations for the show, especially considering that I only made it through 2 minutes of the awful Traffic Lights on Fox. But about 3 minutes into Mad Love, I found myself chuckling a few times and before I knew it, the show was over and I had laughed quite a bit. Jason Biggs and Sarah Chalke are the stars of the show and are good, not great, but I was more impressed with the chemistry between Judy Greer and Tyler Labine. I'm a huge fan of Greer and liked Labine on Reaper, but he got stuck on that awful Sons of Tucson(what's with Fox and their awful shows?), so I'm happy to see he got a gig that might lead to something.
Who knows if this show will make it, but as I said in the headline, its better than Rules of Engagement, so much better, so I hope it does replace it for good.

This is a great TV show. It is so funny, especially Munch! Perfect combination of characters, which really works perfect for each other. The different personalities, really make this show worth seeing. Basically all my friends in Denmark love this show, and i hope there will be many more episodes, even though i've heard that it doesn't look to good:( It is definitely a worthy competitor to How I Met Your Mother. I think this will be a great success. It probably will need some time to "blume", but it will definitely get there, if they proceed working on the TV show. Larry Munch, is a great personality, which is definitely the funniest in this show!
This could really have become something. I wish we had gotten at least a bit more of a wrap up but I guess its hard to know with first seasons if they will fly or die. Loved this so much and want more.
