Off Centre

This show had a very simple premise: two men, a smooth-talking british guy named Euan and his easy-going American friend Mike live together in an apartment on Off Centre Street [hence the title] and spend most of the time hanging put with their idiot buddy Chau, who often gets them into wacky [and hilarious] situations. Under normal circumstances, this would just be another dumb sitcom, but the writing and performances make it a whole lot better than I expected when I first saw the show in November of last year. Since then I watched the show every week and taped every episode. Sadly, The WB canceled this show about two weeks ago after only 28 episodes and leaving two episodes unaired. To say that this the worst decision that the network could possibly make would be a complete understatement because this is possibly the funniest show in the history of television. However, lack of publicity led to low ratings and low ratings led to the cancelation of the show. The problem was that the network barely advertised the show and showed no support for it either. Had the show been on another network, it probably would have done better. Hopefully, the show will be picked up by another channel like Comedy Central and the laughs can continue.

As one of last Christmas' late night Channel 4 watching brigade i simply enjoyed the comedy factor in this programme. Good'ol Finch is great and John Cho fills his usual role. Also pleased to see some British acting in their with Euan Maguire.

This is absolutely one of my favorite TV shows. Why ? Well, the writing is good, jokes are funny, the acting is OK. What i just said describes a decent TV show. In order to become something more, a TV show needs something special, and this one certainly does have something special - Chau. He's simply one of the funniest characters ever ! John Cho played his role perfectly. Whenever there's a scene with Chau in it, it's guaranteed you're gonna laugh your butts off. At least i did each and every time, and so did the millions (and millions) of Chau's fans ! Don't get me wrong, it's not like Chau is the only good thing about this show. Hell no. It would be really good without him, as i already said, but Chau character is so brilliant, that sooner or later everyone starts to watch the show just to see him. And i realize that different people like different types of humor, some things may seem extremely funny to one guy, while the other one won't even smile, but the truth is, if Chau won't make you laugh, even just a little bit, that means you have no sense of humor at all. READ THE WALL - CHAU RULES !!!

Unlike Max bigford this show was awesome and did not need to be cancelled.

Whilst raunchy for the time this is mild by today's standards.

hi im from scotland (britain) and i've seen many episodes of this and i think it's brilliant it's really funny and the actors and actresses that play the characters are great. i hope to see more of this comedy in scotland.
