    Cliffhanger

    There was nothing I disliked about this show except the ending. I have re watched it all on Netflix and the ending is so frustrating. I know the show was cancelling but can we get a YouTube video or something to end the cliffhanger, I mean it could be as simple as a script reading. It's been fourteen years so I think it's high time the viewers get answers.

    The Secondary Characters Are Too Funny

    I remember Mona, Dee, and Spencer being boring. I did not remember how completely entertaining the rest of the regular characters are.

    Tina is the absolute funniest character. Adam is great to watch as well.

    Phyllis and Big Dee are comedic gold.

    So many guests are too funny. It is so ironic to watch them shine next to the bland yet endearing Dee, Mona, and Spencer.

    I appreciate sitcoms like this, especially the rare ones that exist nowadays. Now, let's get rid of laugh tracks.

    A good show!

    I just love the theme music for this show! The show could be a little better but this is the first season, it'll happen. Telma Hopkins on the show is a real plus. Also, they should show more of that Asian guy that always wants a hug. He is hilarious!

    Excellent Prime Time Series

    Half & Half has definitely improved over the first season. It's a worthy show that never fails to bring out the funny. Rachel True is an excellent actress and next to Valarie Pettiford is one of my favorites on the show. I for one happen to like her 'eclectic' look. Remember the phrase...'We are not a monolith'. In other words, not every black person thinks and acts the same. If we all did that, life would be boring and I suppose some of you wouldn't have anything to b!tch about! I'm very happy it's made it to a second season. They did have a potential 'jump the shark' moment introducing a pregnancy but so far it's been handled very well.

    I look forward to many more laughs from the entire cast, who clearly have great chemistry together.

    Confounding expectations

    This is the story of two half-sisters establishing a friendship for the first time in their lives. Mona, the older sister, grew up resenting DeeDee because their father had left her mother, remarried, become wealthy and raised DeeDee in a much more affluent lifestyle than Mona's. It really surprised me, watching the first few episodes then, when none of the characters turned out to be what I expected. The virtuous, hardworking Mona turned out to be judgmental and aloof, while the spoiled DeeDee was sweetly eager-to-please and savvy. The cast is excellent (both mothers are hilarious) and I like the developing friendship so far. It's not important, but I also love the opening theme. My only complaint is that the ratio of genuine laughs is fairly low; that's usually easier to fix than other potential problems.
