Can 2 Broke Girls buy a laugh?

Yes they can and have with their new addition.

When 2 Broke Girls first aired I admit that I didn't like it, but the rest of my family fell in love immediately. I love a good sitcom and this is not one of those, but things change. At first I was not a fan of some of the writing and felt like most of their jokes just plain fell flat. I am a hearty laugher, ask anyone who knows me, and love to laugh; but I need a good reason to laugh and laughing once or twice in a half hour show is not cutting it. 

As the show has progressed Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs have settled into their roles and they work very well off of each other. 

Jonathan Kite adds a lot of flavor to the shows dynamics as the perverted cook who always has some bad pick up line hiding up his sleeves...when he wears sleeved shirts that is. 

It is great seeing Garrett Morris playing the smart ass that he is too and you can catch his stand up comedy on weekends in Los Angeles. It is worth it. 

However the show has gained some ground with me and tickled my funny bone more regularly with the addition of Jennifer Coolidge as the neighbor up stairs. Yep folks....Stifler's Mom is on TV now and she has added another element to 2 Broke Girls that I think it was missing. She is a professional who has played so many love able characters on film that I was surprised to hear of her new gig on TV, but it makes perfect sense and look what it's done for Jane Lynch's career since Glee. As much as I love everything these ladies do I will always think of the two of them together in 'Best In Show', but back to 2 Broke Girls. 

So now I am laughing much more. The show is getting great reviews and is CBS's more popular comedies. Though it is in its first season I think it is finding its groove and has a lot of potential for growth. It does feel, to me, like 2 Broke Girls is just one more quirky character away from having their cup cakes and eating them too. I wonder whom they will add to the cast? However their recent addition of Jennifer has made me give them a higher grade than they started off with. 

GRADE: B-
