Manhattan Love Story

I am a romantic, I am single and never have had a girlfriend, around 40 years old, is kind of sad, but I totally love the idea of being in love, in conclusion I am totally biased. This comedy has a lot of potential, I just fell in love with Dana, a character that is just lovely, the perfect woman to fell in love with, nice, beautiful and totally adorable. And Peter, well I kind of hate that guy for having Dana, but I think that is the idea of the male character in a romantic movie, I mean for a straight man at least. The script is solid and intelligent, at such point that I do not feel ashame to say that I like it a lot. Watch the show you will not regret it, preferably with you Significant other.

Dana (Analeigh Tipton of the darling Damsels in Distress movie) has just moved to Manhattan for her first major job in publishing. Fortunately, she has an old college friend and her husband to bunk with, while she looks for a place of her own. Not wanting to let any grass grow, the yoga-loving wife desires to matchmake immediately and introduce Dana to a mutual friend, Peter (Jake McDorman). But, first, our publishing gal has a day at work. Ugh, times ten. As she exits the elevator, another man is entering it, obviously taking his box of files. HE'S been fired and Dana is taking his place. The big boss introduces D then retreats to his "bunker office". Very miffed, the two employees in charge refuse to show her what to do and end up locking her out in the stairwell. Then, its time for the date with Peter. Ouch. Although they "sort of" like the looks of each other, Peter's cynical nature is all too clear and Dana ends up in tears, bolting from the scene. Can this truly be the start of a Manhattan Love Story? YES! As is typical, I am behind everyone else and just saw my first show. It's adorable and I want more, more, more. How I love the actors, especially Tipton, who was a real charmer in Damsels in Distress, a Whit Stilman film. Then, the setting is great, for there is no place like Manhattan on the planet. At least, the beautiful views this show sports. Add on the great costumes, script (a mixture of lines and streams of consciousness) and a lively direction. Therefore, PLEASE ABC! SAY IT Ain't SO! We romcom lovers NEED shows like this to maintain our sanity and zest for life!

After watching the first episode I was pleasantly surprised. It lent a totally new perspective to the RmCom genre. Pretty much a game changer. It had all the signs of becoming a great show. The leads are lovable and not some people you can possibly dislike and the supporting characters are portrayed brilliantly. The internal monologues are intelligent and gives you a comic insight into the mechanics of a relationship and will hopefully, down the road, explore everything involved in a budding and mature relationship. Perspective of both the sexes when offered on the same situation will no doubt be the high point of this series and it will be interesting to watch as to how both sexes handle a specific issue. what they both think and what they both do.

It will be interesting and entertaining. i look forward to watching the show.

After seeing the trailer for this show, i was sure this is another regular romcom like many others on TV. But being a romance freak that i am, i gave it a shot and watched it. And thank god i did.

Pilot to this show is very promising. The awkward first date between two person in Manhattan and the self mumbling in their head was cute and adoring. I already love the lead female and her rather soft and yet firm attitude towards life. And the lead male, with his dreamy voice and laid back attitude like any other bachelor or playboy wanna be (though seen many times on TV) works well.

But last of all thanks to the writer to this show for making a great script where a regular romance appears surprisingly new and refreshing.

Awkward but cute, Cliché and yet interesting. Looking forward to the next episode.

Can we just start off with the fact that I absolutely adore this show!!!!!! I just finished re- watching all of the three episodes for the second time already! I think that it sucks this show is apparently low on ratings already but really this show is funny and amazing for this girl right here! So far with just three episodes premiered, It's already got me on the edge of my seat constantly every time I watch it and I think anyone who actually gives this show a chance will love it! I love the characters they chose and just overall how this show just comes together in such a good way. So ABC please bless this couch potato and keep this show going!
