"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.
This show, if given a chance will be a hit. It takes some growing for common folks. Those who's lives are strict and headed for some super goal. But for those who know that sometimes you need that little bit of insanity to make sense out of an insane world this is PERFECT. In other words those that don't take things so serious will get a kick out of it. They've found a way to incorporate their audience which is genius. No other show on today does that without having to phone in, incur some charge or something of that nature. People want to relax and watch the television after work, or before bed. This show is funny, interactive (somewhat), and very interesting. For those who don't like it, thats a choice and very respected one. I believe if you give it a chance you'll find something you can relate to, therefore, something funny, which is all the show was meant to do, make you laugh. Don't take everything so serious, these guys definitely don't, so sit back and Enjoy it, I know I will...
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!
this is a great show i hope they give it time to grow into what i think it can become. One thing i like about this show is all of the characters. I love them because anyone is likely to know someone like just about every one of them. You could actually see yourself hanging out with the bast friends,i know i can they are a lot like my friends in real life. The ex is absolutely crazy and most people know someone that have had something like that happen to them or have had that happen to you. Jessica is about the best thing i have seen on TV in a long time as far as main girl interests in a show go. She in not the usual girl you see in that role on a TV show. She likes to go out and drink, she loves shorts and still likes video games, she has a sense of humor a lot like most guys i know, and she gets along great with every one. Lets not forget that she is great looking. This all comes together with their theme to make this show a great idea. The only way i think it would be better is if they did it online and like one of those old choose your adventure books where you get to choose what the character ,you, do sometimes and you get to see what would happen in that episode. I think that could be good but it is still great the way it was.
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...
