Friends with Benefits

I remember being incredibly disappointed when I found out that this show was to be a "Summer Burn-Off" and that it wouldn't last more than thirteen episodes. The reason I was disappointed was because I really enjoyed watching this show. I felt like the humor was very similar to that of "Scrubs" and even "How I Met Your Mother" in that the writing was corny and oftentimes unrealistic, but the characters were solid and so were the actors who played them. I'm upset that I'll never know what the fates of the characters would have been, as it was cancelled after twelve episodes. I would definitely lobby for them to open production back up and for them to give it another try. Unfortunately that's not how the business works. Hope to see great things from all the actors involved in the future.

Don't write these often but I had to after reading some of its reviews. This show is orginal, funny, and interesting. The episodes are only 20 minutes long too. They're not a lot of TV series that are a 10/10 and this is not one but they definitely deserve another season and their actors and actresses act their asses off so there's that

Recently caught two episodes of this network show. The first was OK, the second dismal. Sort of a "Friends" crossed with a daytime soap opera. The only interesting aspect was some quick shots of couples having sex. And there wasn't nearly enough of those. Also, are we ever going to see two people naked and having sex? Someone always seems to be wearing some article of clothing. I suspect the audience for this would surge if the network had a little more gumption and pushed the nudity envelope. As it is, this show will be dead soon enough. It is poorly acted and not particularly well written, and the actors are generic at best, much like soap opera actors.

I'am from Europe and when this show hits the internet here it's Saturday, around 4AM. At that time I'am either buzzing from Friday night out, or I'am down because I spent entire evening at home. In any case I eagerly await to see new episodes after which I go to sleep with happy thoughts. When I review movies there is whole bunch of things I look at, but when I rate a comedy show there is only one valid criteria - does it make me laugh. And Friends with Benefits definitely put a smile on my face every single time. Comedy itself is a very subjective matter, so I do understand people who aren't so enthusiastic as I am, but still I feel that the reviews here are just too harsh. For the people who are reading these comments and are considering whether to start watching this show; just go ahead, if you do like it you just might get one extra thing to look forward every week. It's worth a shot. Cheers

It does have a great leading lady, hot and chatty. And a fun leading man, The party down blonde, he seems to be enjoying every comedy moments. I do hope for better writing though. And less obtrusive sound and songs, and the sex noise too. Keep it down a notch, we all know it is fake. It is just not fun too see that women can do so easily faking it.

The chemistry is a bit weird. Most seems to have nothing in common with each other. Same thing I should say with my friends. And it is refreshing to see none was related and somewhat staying together. Post friends and How i met your mother this one was a breath of fresh air, somehow works in charm anyway. It is amazing to see the funny bits involving vegetables, that one makes me laugh hard.

It takes more than open bra moments to make a show sexy. The network shows should learn from fx and showtime, they can make things sexy without showing anything. I don't know if its enough for a lure to a wide audience but hey, it would help a lot anyway.
