Mad Love

Ben Parr (Jason Biggs) falls for Kate Swanson (Sarah Chalke). It's a simple boy meets girl except they bring their best friends into the relationship.

I love Jason Biggs from his movie roles, and I love Sarah Chalke from Scrubs. So I understand why putting them together as a couple makes great TV sense. But for whatever reason, they just don't have enough chemistry together as a couple. They also have two of my favorite actors in Judy Greer and Tyler Labine as each person's best friends. Judy and Tyler have a love-hate relationship, and actually have more chemistry than the leads. The lead pairing is too bland but I like the under-card.

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.

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!

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!

I just finished watching the pilot of this series and i must say i found it entertaining. It certainly has a "How I Met your Mother" kinda feeling maybe a bit too much and some of the jokes were predictable, but at the end i found myself thinking that i would watch the next one if i had it right now. And that's what comedy shows should do. Entairtain you for 30 minutes. Since that's the case here, I'd say this shows meets my expectations.

I also happen to be a huge fan of Sarah Chalke and Judy Greer and I would love to see more of them in this show. Labine and Biggs are doing a good job as well and this quartet seems to have some chemistry. Looking forward for some more.
