    Having four women with sufficiently distinct personalities and a pleasant tone should help the show secure some viewership, but it really belongs on a specialized femme-oriented cable net.

    It's pleasant, but not promising enough to care about beyond a one-episode stand. [19 Jun 2006, p.37]

    What a bunch of crap! None of these women, in the grand scheme of things - or the men for that matter - were all that attractive. But the one What a bunch of crap! None of these women, in the grand scheme of things - or the men for that matter - were all that attractive. But the one that irritated me the most was the oriental girl (I'm bi-racial myself, so don't accuse me of being a racist). It is so obvious to me that she dumped Josh because she had an overly high opinion of herself and thought that she could do better. Poor Josh! I tried to like him, but what was there to like? So, when this girl realized that she wasn't all that hot (I have seen many, many more Asian women who are thousands of times more beautiful than she is), she decided that she better go back to Josh before her luck ran out completely. She does not love Josh; she's a gold-digger and deep down Josh knows it, too. Most of these guys probably would not have dated any of these girls if they weren't going to be on TV. Nothing against the other girls - they just need to believe in themselves because they DO have a lot going for them. Just don't settle, like what's-her-name is doing with Josh!… Full Review »

I was all ready to nominate a guy friend of mine for what I hoped would be the sequel ("How to Get the Girl") but then it disappeared. I hope they bring it back, too.… Full Review »
