    I don't know about you guys, but i thought Secret Girlfriend was a great show with great humor. The show made me laugh and the "chemistry" you have with Jessica is believable. Obviously not everyone likes this kind of humor but come on, just let go of all your thoughts and watch this show. Secret Girlfriend is a simple fresh concept of a show.

    Hot girls, yes. Make and break the show at the same time. Shallow as hell, and makes us guys look like complete idiots.

    There are definitely people whom are taking the show too seriously. Yes, there is a lot of skin (what show starting out hasn't tried to mix in some skin somewhere...honestly).

It's definitely quick hitting...i can see how it blossomed from the web. I HOPE they bring it back for a second season. It's nice changeup from the scripted comedies, straight cartoons, and stand-up.… 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.

    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.

    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 dont think the people giving the show "0" know that they are talking about. The comments from those ratings show it pretty well. Obviously some poeple haven't seen enough of the show to get to know it. However, I have watched all the episodes that have come out, and I have to say that this is one of the best shows that I have seen to come out on Comedy Central for a long time.

    I've seen worse shows, but this is still pretty bad. It was a cool idea in my opinion but they just couldn't pull it off. The humor only makes the audience "giggle" but never a crack up like in south park. The two male actors seem like they have some potential, but the show will most likely kill their career

    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. I also have to mention the woman.. they're all gorgeous.. wow!

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

    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.

    This show is hilarious! They say and do all the things most guys say and do. If you can watch it from a guys perspective you'll adore it. The one liners are scrumptious and the chicks are gorgeous! Any "dude" guy will love it.

    It's not the best show out there, but the premise and unique camera work gives it a really original feel. I hope it has a second longer season.

    This show is completely unwatchable. I would tune it for a few seconds here or there and immediately become repelled by the cheap "girls gone wild" idiot mentality that was getting spewed all over my clothes. The first person character idea has not been done in awhile because it is just a rounded-out bad concept that doesn't work. The acting is consistently phony and reeks of sewage

    "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!

    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.

    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 think its pretty funny ... and don't mind the hot girls, either. Anyone else who complains is too prude to get it, or to uppity to care. Take this show for what it is... goofy and original.

    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 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.

Both of your best friends are fat loser douchebags supposedly in their early 20s who look like they're in their late 30s because they're so fat and scuzzy. Your loser friends are supposed to be funny lovable guys getting laughs by being dumb and doing dumb guy things but they aren't "funny" dumb, they're just "dumb" dumb. The women are all portrayed as hot, dumb, and crazy. It's like watching the sex filled daydreams of some fat schleppy turd who's still living in his mom's basement and has never been laid. The POV softcore porn persepctive is lame too. If I want to watch POV porn I'll turn off this stupid show and get on the internet and watch the real thing. This show is totally unfunny, unwatchable, and definitely ranks as one of the absolute worst tv show concepts in the history of television.… Expand

    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.
