Friends with Benefits

Well I was expecting a funny show since it is said to be a comedy. but I should say I was totally disappointed. with all those great shows on air i don't think this a series that you should waste your time on. The acting is poor to start with. and the jokes are pretty lame too. It looks like the actors are putting more effort just to make an impression and land bigger roles. besides although it is named friends with benefits, there is only one couple that has sex together. I think the concept alone could have been taken more seriously. So in conclusion all I can say is that if you don't mind wasting your time on some lame jokes then this might interest you. besides i don't think this deserves a second season either.

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

I started to watch this show mostly because of Danneel (Harris-)Ackles. I saw the trailer on youtube and I kinda liked it, I thought "why not? it seems fun"; so I started it.

The first episode wasn't that bad, however in my opinion it wasn't better than 6/10. The next three episodes were satisfactory, but the more episodes I watched the worse it became.

Around episode 4 or 5, the show wasn't funny anymore. It was idiotic, non- realistic (which is, as regards, not necessarily important 'cause it's a TV show), annoying with non-lovable characters and stupid decisions, not to mention the dialogs.

In summary, it wasn't worth my time. I didn't even watch it to the end.

friends with benefits is a very interesting show starting with the characters each one is unique and likable which is different from most series which you don't always like all the characters . this show is really funny for the fact that its tv14 and has a lot of sex jokes unlike children shows which cant make most of the jokes this series can make . as we all know there's only two types of jokes 1)good jokes 2)clean jokes . hahahaha yes i know that its very interesting that all the good jokes are not clean . but i don't see this show having too much of a future but at the time that it is in fact airing it will definitely be a hell of a show !!!

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.
