Friends with Benefits

I'll be honest: I only bothered watching this show for two of its stars, Danneel Ackles and Zach Cregger, and I didn't really expect to enjoy it. The plot sounded unoriginal, and I have very little faith in movie and TV studios to actually bother making things good anymore. That said, I absolutely adore 'Friends with Benefits,' and I think anyone with a sense of humor and no ego will, too.

The show is solid. All its lead actors are adorable and funny, both slapstick and subdued in their humor, and play their roles with a simplicity and honesty that makes them hard to hate. Each episode features a standalone storyline interwoven with the established, budding, and evolving relationships amongst the group of friends, and everything about them is right.

The real reason people don't seem to like this show is, as far as I can tell, that people seem to have very high standards for what they consider comedy. Naturally, there are comedies that are brilliantly crafted instant classics, and 'FWB' isn't one of them. What it is, though, is playful escapism that will make you giggle, if not laugh hysterically, every episode. And, if you're lucky enough to watch it with a friend like I am, the source of endless new inside jokes.

Totes radicchio!

This show is lite but complex, very fun and interesting, with characters that you start to like from first scenes!

And by the end of show (that unfortunately comes way way too fast) you can't wait to see more of their's everyday situations and new happenings!

I get that this show for some reason didn't have enough viewership, but with second season I am absolutely sure that would improve and this show could've gone for at least 3-4 season!

Episodes are 20mins, perfect run time for any sitcom, and there were so many things and stories that deserved way more depth and conclusions!

It's been almost decade and a half since show ended so maybe some crazy season 2 story how all of them ended up and where, something like American Pie: Reunion, it just feels right to give that closure for this show and this characters!

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.

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.

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
