100 Questions

I really like this show, it's fresh and hilarious, good casting and everything looks and feels great. I hope they don't cancel it because there are some people who doesn't like it. I think it has very good potential to become a regular series among the successful sitcoms. I like the British accent and the girls and Smith Cho is gorgeous. The main theme, although at first looks like How I Met Your Mother, is original and fresh. I enjoy it a lot. When I saw the very first episode, because I have read some 'reviews', I didn't expect too much, but I was surprised how funny this show is. I thought this is another bored mid-season sitcom to fill the blanks in summer, but clearly not. This is the best show after Modern Family showed up.

Charlotte Payne (Sophie Winkleman) goes to a dating service and given 100 questions to answer. Each question leads to the story of one episode. It's the romantic misadventures of Charlotte and her friends.

This got canceled real quick. They only gave them six episodes. It's a standard Poor Little Single Gal sitcom crossed with Friends variation. The show is led by Winkleman and David Walton. They're very solid as their characters. Christopher Moynihan is a little too whiny but that's expected. Collette Wolfe is funny. Smith Cho and Michael Benjamin Washington add the ethnicity. As a summer replacement, there's nothing wrong with the show. The network never gave it a chance. Realistically, it couldn't last anyways.

I think the British show "Coupling" is funnier, but not that much funnier. This show is kinda funny, not laugh out loud funny, but funny enough as TV goes. Coupling isn't all THAT funny either. I like the characters on Coupling better, though. The characters on this show are more realistic. Coupling's characters are more exaggerated, caricatured. Office is a better cop of a British show, but I don't think it's as funny as the British version either. Seems the British are more willing to have outrageous characters, along the lines of Seinfeld's Kramer. The characters on this show are about as outrageous as the ones on Friends. I think they'd do better to make the characters less believable, more outrageous.

100 Questions? I have but one...why? Are the networks so desperate that they have to put on crap like this? Okay, I guess that's two questions. This show is a formulaic Friends rip-off that is Obviously NBC's effort to recapture their glory days. The acting is stiff and stale. The characters are retreads of every sitcom twenty-something ever devised. Let me breaking down like this: Jill (the vapid blond)= Phoebe from Friends or Chrissy from Three's company; Leslie (materialistic, spoiled chick)=Friend's Rachel; Wayne (ladies man)=Joey; Mike (nervous, unlucky at love professional)=Chandler/Ross amalgam; Charlotte (level headed brunette)=Monica. The rip off characters are acted so poorly that I had a hard time sitting through this show. I figured I would give it a chance and try it again. My 12 year old watched it with me and literally asked the question, "Is this supposed to be Friends?"

This is a very fluffy and fairly mediocre show, to be sure, but it's not as terrible as some of the reviewers have stated. In terms of the comedic timing, laugh-track, set, and cast (despite being mostly American), the show looks and feels much more like a typical British sitcom than anything else NBC has aired in recent memory, including "The Office." Depending on your taste, this can be either good or bad. I first watched it because of Sophie Winkleman's presence as the main character. However, "100 Questions" is a more broad comedy than her former vehicle--the sharp and funny "Peep Show"--and will not necessarily appeal to the same demographic. Still, I found the silliness has grown on me, and I'll even be sad when the show is inevitably canceled.
