    Reviews/Cancellation

    Don't write these often but I had to after reading some of its reviews. This show is orginal, funny, and interesting. The episodes are only 20 minutes long too. They're not a lot of TV series that are a 10/10 and this is not one but they definitely deserve another season and their actors and actresses act their asses off so there's that

    friends with benefits is a great show !

    friends with benefits is a very interesting show starting with the characters each one is unique and likable which is different from most series which you don't always like all the characters . this show is really funny for the fact that its tv14 and has a lot of sex jokes unlike children shows which cant make most of the jokes this series can make . as we all know there's only two types of jokes 1)good jokes 2)clean jokes . hahahaha yes i know that its very interesting that all the good jokes are not clean . but i don't see this show having too much of a future but at the time that it is in fact airing it will definitely be a hell of a show !!!

    Allow yourself to just let go and have fun!

    I'll be honest: I only bothered watching this show for two of its stars, Danneel Ackles and Zach Cregger, and I didn't really expect to enjoy it. The plot sounded unoriginal, and I have very little faith in movie and TV studios to actually bother making things good anymore. That said, I absolutely adore 'Friends with Benefits,' and I think anyone with a sense of humor and no ego will, too.

    The show is solid. All its lead actors are adorable and funny, both slapstick and subdued in their humor, and play their roles with a simplicity and honesty that makes them hard to hate. Each episode features a standalone storyline interwoven with the established, budding, and evolving relationships amongst the group of friends, and everything about them is right.

    The real reason people don't seem to like this show is, as far as I can tell, that people seem to have very high standards for what they consider comedy. Naturally, there are comedies that are brilliantly crafted instant classics, and 'FWB' isn't one of them. What it is, though, is playful escapism that will make you giggle, if not laugh hysterically, every episode. And, if you're lucky enough to watch it with a friend like I am, the source of endless new inside jokes.

    Totes radicchio!

    Why, just why wouldn't they make at least one more season?!

    This show is lite but complex, very fun and interesting, with characters that you start to like from first scenes!

    And by the end of show (that unfortunately comes way way too fast) you can't wait to see more of their's everyday situations and new happenings!

    I get that this show for some reason didn't have enough viewership, but with second season I am absolutely sure that would improve and this show could've gone for at least 3-4 season!

    Episodes are 20mins, perfect run time for any sitcom, and there were so many things and stories that deserved way more depth and conclusions!

    It's been almost decade and a half since show ended so maybe some crazy season 2 story how all of them ended up and where, something like American Pie: Reunion, it just feels right to give that closure for this show and this characters!

    not bad,,, not great

    It does have a great leading lady, hot and chatty. And a fun leading man, The party down blonde, he seems to be enjoying every comedy moments. I do hope for better writing though. And less obtrusive sound and songs, and the sex noise too. Keep it down a notch, we all know it is fake. It is just not fun too see that women can do so easily faking it.

    The chemistry is a bit weird. Most seems to have nothing in common with each other. Same thing I should say with my friends. And it is refreshing to see none was related and somewhat staying together. Post friends and How i met your mother this one was a breath of fresh air, somehow works in charm anyway. It is amazing to see the funny bits involving vegetables, that one makes me laugh hard.

    It takes more than open bra moments to make a show sexy. The network shows should learn from fx and showtime, they can make things sexy without showing anything. I don't know if its enough for a lure to a wide audience but hey, it would help a lot anyway.
