Secret Girlfriend

"Secret Girlfriend" is one of the most creative ideas since "Arrested Development." Hopefully it will not meet the same shortly lived fate. The idea of the show is that "you" the television viewer, are the perspective of the camera. Occasionally the camera changes to one of the frequent short video vignettes your friends create and post on a YouTube-like website in an apparent attempt to gain popularity for them. The humor is extremely current, intelligently executed, and never gets... for lack of a better work, "stupid," despite the subject matter. The scenes change so much that one feels like they are on a roller coaster for a half-hour ride. The episodes are sometimes funnier on the second viewing, much like classic Monty Python skits. The only downside of Secret Girlfriend is that it is "different." Being different means that the average viewer simply surfing through the channels may not stop to watch, but perhaps the constant beautiful women in nearly every scene will keep them occupied until they realize the genius of the show.

I've watched every episode as soon as it was released, and I was never really disappointed. The acting was definitely not a 10, but it is understandable because you as the viewer are meant to be the main character. My main issue, was that the show was a bit over the top. The two best friends are always trying to uncover a way to become internet superstars, so those attempts quickly became annoying. Plus, it doesn't seem like you as the main character ever run into too much trouble especially with picking up women. Nearly every single girl that comes into the main character's vision starts throwing seductive eye contact at him before he ever does anything like he's Brad Pitt. He never fails. That is definitely not a normal occurrence for all the guys in the world, and it is especially not normal for the Fabio this failure of a main character is portrayed to be. It's funny but it kind of gets on your nerves because not all men are that invincible with women.

This show uses basic camera work and basic joke writing that depends on the attractiveness of the females on the show. I LOVE a beautiful woman, but whenever I see this show, I feel like all of their possible talent( if it exists) is being wasted. This show is NOT funny, it is NOT cohesive and definitely not worth wasting your time. It seems like a show that a college comedy group transferred to a terrible television show. I can not believe that this show is actually filling up a time block on a national television station! I believe that you have a better chance of making you audience laugh with a new and original type of comedy! Please don't allow your TV providers to convince you to watch such fabricated BS comedy. You deserve much better!!!! (if you have nowhere to start, "Arrested Development" will change your perspective on TV shows. GUARANTEED!

This is a great, entertaining, low-brow show hence, I have become quite addicted to its humor! Please let there be a season 2,3,4, etc as I have changed my Wednesday night schedule to catch new episodes but disappointingly, they're not on! C'mon Comedy Central, you have a hit in the making and a great idea to star "YOU" as the leading role! More advertising, more trailers, and finally more episodes and this show will be a cult classic for many generations to come! I don't think this was previewed enough with the general populous so use other media distribution networks to advertise this show and trust me, they will catch-on!

I can't, in my right mind, give this show more than a 3... It is an interesting idea, in that the perspective is based upon the viewer. However...this perspective is in no way universal. Yes, all guys are perverted, but still...it feels like it's meant for a specific character, you can't really do that in this perspective. And...seriously, they tried making it successful by depicting the viewer as a successful man (in that he is able to have these girlfriends, and about 5 girls per episode sleep with him) OK, some guys can do that...but they aren't watching this show. It's basically making the pathetic "usses" feel better, which doesn't work. It would be an interesting idea for a show that had a more important story, also, than just getting laid and getting a specific girl over time. Woooh...what a good idea for a show...not... So everything but the perspective sucks...Most of the jokes were horrible too... really too bad, some things had potential...
