As if that were a bad thing. Hey Dustin and all of your fellow S.G. disapprovers, I've noticed that most if not all of you who dislike secret girlfriend are simply frustrated with your own inadequacies and repressed homosexuality that you strive to slander a perfectly good show. But ultimately and simply, if you're not in college and are over the age of 30, this show is for MY generation and not YOURS. Gtf out of dodge you ornery senior citizens and repressed alcoholics. And yes, I am talking about you. You know I'm right.… Expand

    Next to Lost, South Park, Wipe Out and anything on the Military Channel, this is the best show on television. Funny, tons of hot chicks, straight guy humor - everything a growing boy needs.

    This show is probably a love/hate kind of thing and personally I love it. I greatly enjoy the first person experience, the comedic value your two in show friends provide, and the plethora of beautiful women doesn't hurt at all.

    looks like you either love this show or hate it. obviously, given my score, I love it (as does my wife believe it or not). The humor is current and can be quite clever and the characters are very entertaining, it never has a chance to get old as each episode is separated into 10 minute segments.

Those people would have you believe that only a complete moron would enjoy it, but I like my fair share of sophisticated humor too.. I enjoy the full spectrum of comedy. the show reminds me of the good old care free days I spent goofing off with my friends and chasing girls around. if I were to compare the humor here to a more mainstream sitcom it would be "That 70's show" with a dash of virtual soft core porn. and there's nothing wrong with that. :] cheers mcf (my actual score would be an 8 but i gave it a 10 to help balance out all the zeros given out by all those zeros)… Expand

    Wow, people are so uptight. Look -- the characters on this show aren't supposed to be realistic. It's a comedy! The two main best friend characters are supposed to be over-the-top douchebags.

None of the characters and situations are any more farfetched than you would see in a typical episode of Seinfeld or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The pilot doesn't do this show justice. Watch the first four episodes and I'm sure you'll agree it's very entertaining. People automatically slam anything new and different, it can be very polarizing. This show isn't really a tradition sitcom, as it's all shot in first-person and you are the (mute) main character. It has great potential. Give it a shot.… Expand

    Secret Girlfriend is one of the best new shows this year. The characters are hilarious and the timing is absolutely perfect. I love a show with no shame at all. Too many shows are uptight and serious on tv nowadays. We need less reality tv show "Drama" and more "take-no-prisoner" shows like Secret Girlfriend.

    I think the approach is unique and I like it. Certainly the humour, the characters experiences, are not something that everyone can relate to. But I think that there's an audience of 18-30 year old men who for an episode lives nostalgically through the character "you" or wishes that they had the oppurtunity. Worth watching.

    Take this show for what it is... goofy and original. It's fair to call it soft-core porn without the sex scenes... but Secret Girlfriend doesn't try to be anything more than the original formula that got it picked up in the first place.

    I was very skeptical about this show before the season. It looked like just another pathetic attempt by comedy central to create a new show. But I was pleasantly surprised. Granted, this show is only entertaining to the right audience. All my friends love it and look forward to it every week. The humor is direct and sexual. A good, solid, dude show.

    "Worst show in history of television"? "Funding terrorism of the human soul"? "Comedy Central should be ashamed"? WOW. Tough crowd. I personally loved this show and hope it comes back for another season. It was funny, refreshing, and all around a good time. It's no Seinfeld to be sure but fun? **Definetly.** Hope to see more episodes soon!

    It looks like either you love secret Girlfriend, or you hate it. Personally, I love it. The ideas are all original, and the characters are rediculous (in a funny way, like all comedy characters should be). The greatest flaw I see in the show is that it should be aimed more toward women as much as men. Other than that, this is a wonderful show.

    I actually enjoy the show. It's pretty obvious that a Comedy Central show doesn't care about character development. Its funny, has good looking women, and fits between South Park and The Daily Show nicely. Obviously geared toward a college age, male audience, the show delivers.

    Secret Girlfriend could add up to something worthwhile, with more of that kind of elliptical character revelation and fewer generic dirty-boy adventures. Ultimately, I want to know more about “you,’’ not them.
