Ronna & Beverly

Oy, I got so ferklempt watching this show! They must be Boston cousins of Beverly Richman. OMG I think I belong to the same sorority.Bev in bed with the construction guy would never happen in my neighborhood.He would need a Mercedes or at the very least an MD or a PhD before the yentes I know would give it up. Well, maybe just for a diversion he would do but not for a serious relationship.I've actually seen people try to use contacts to get ahead in an emergency room so that's a little bit of realism for you. Hell, my son in law the doctor got me a private room in a full hospital! If you run out of people to make matches for I've got a list an arm long. Long may Ronna and Beverly wave!

Cleverly written. Over the top. The opening scene made my jaw drop. Cancer can be funny. So politically incorrect. Funny and embarrassing at the same time. The show was set in Boston. However both Ronna and Beverly reminded me of women I grew up with in Pikesville, MD. The wardrobe was dead on. The accents were perfect. Hate to admit it, but Ronna's driving was similar to mine. After that scene, I'll be watching my language! The supporting and guest characters were also wicked funny. Ronna and Beverly's book tour would be a lot of fun to watch. I hope Showtime brings Ronna and Beverly back. With such talented women, what a shame if these characters are wasted on just one episode.

Loved it. These gals are smart, funny and a fresh burst to my eyes. The pilot's slickly directed by Paul Feig and written by the lovely ladies (Jessica Chaffin & Jamie Denbo) along with "Weeds" creator Jenji Kohan. Under the wigs, you'd recognize Jessica and Jamie from their guest appearances on everything from "Weeds" to "Entourage" to even "Zoey 101."

Having seen the live show multiple times in L.A., I'm a bit spoiled and maybe came into this a bit skewed. But still I think even in it's edited form, it still rings just as amusing. The skin cancer pubic hair run is enough to keep you laughing and giggling for the entire thirty minutes, never mind the chemistry and fire shared by the two life long friends of Ronna & Bev. If you like broad comedy and satire, check it out asap. You won't be disappointed.

If you liked the Tracy Ullman Show, you'll love these girls. Reminded me of women in my old neighborhood for sure. The accents were spot on with some friendly jabs at the hang-ups and stereotypes of this segment of the Baby Boomer generation. A pleasant reminder that fresh young comedy is alive and well today.

It's like watching Seinfeld's cousins rambling on after a Barbara Streisand show, but these women know how to download an Iphone application. A three camera television show with the vibes and authenticity of a one-act play. The unique comedy of these two up-and-coming comedians is a brand I hope to see more of in the future. Great riffs between these two sparring comic pros whom seem wiser beyond their years as Ronna and Beverly. Only they know the limits of where their comedic partnership can take them, but this powerful female duo will certainly rank as one of the top female comedy teams in recent memory.

While I've seen them on the stage and thoroughly enjoyed their show, on the small screen is what suits these two the best. It's like a great SNL skit except you want this one to keep going. The sarcastic whit is biting and the Boston Jewish accents will be studied by linguists and bungled by future actors for years.

If you're looking for a window into the yenta communities of Boston, Long Island, Los Angeles or Miami you need look no further than this hilarious relationship comedy featuring two spot-on perfect portrayals of two 50-something Jewish Mother/authors who make you cringe in the best way a la The Office or Larry David. Like the best cutting edge comedies, Ronna & Beverly is often irreverent, pushing the boundaries of social morays but always hitting the comedic mark. What makes this show even better is the Simpsons-like attention to detail (catch the 'Robert Parish' sandwich order) that let's you discover something new on the second, third and even fourth viewings. I've read that this is just a pilot but here's one plea to Showtime to reconsider their decision. There's a dearth of quality comedy on television and cable as it is, and we can't afford to let a project with such vast potential die on the vine.
