Because if there was enough people out there watching to justify this show's continued existance I would have taken a f...ing gun to my head and pulled the trigger. I don't know if I can forgive CCentral for doing this to me. It will take time, and healing, before I rely on them for anything other than South Park. (BTW- Did you know the producer of secret girlfriend is a woman? It's a kicker, ain't it. I sent her an email begging to appeal to her better nature, but it hasn't worked.)… Expand

    Why does comedy central forget completely disregard the female audience. I love comedy central but just because of this hideous show i may never be able to forgive them. What the hell were they thinking? This is not a mans world women like south park too. And i watch the daily show religiously. How dare they.

    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.

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.

    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 haven't seen a show that made me want to be in it any more than this one did, anyone can relate to this and many guys still mentally live in this world.

    I believe the way the viewer is put into the shoes of the protagonist is what limits the capacity for all viewers to relate. It's not engaging enough for the audience, in a way its almost creepy.

    I guess the target audience would be guys who are desperately starved for conversation and female attention? It's not so much a comedy as this porny vicarious life sort of thing. There are a few funny jokes I guess, but the humor gets completely overshadowed by how creepy the format is.

    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

    Horrible show. I found it incredibly hard to actually picture myself as the main character. Also, women seemed to just fall from the sky for these losers, which was also unbelievable. ... and when "I" was having sex, it was just awkward.

    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. 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

    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. The ex-gf character is over-the-top crazy. And once you understand this you can appreciate how funny it is. I think people are way to hard on this show.

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

    MY GOD! This is the worst garbage I have ever seen. The format does not work. I do not want to be one of the characters, especially a duder bro loser, which is what all of the male characters are. The humor..... there is none.

Extremely uninspired, unlikable characters, weak storylines, and capped off with terrible generic frat boy acting. Long story short; after South Park do yourself a favor and reach for your clicker. Comedy Central should pull the plug immediately, and send all of the actors back to sigma phi alpha where they belong. P.S. I have never written a review here, and I'm sure it shows. I just felt that this show is SOOOO unbelievably bad that the general public must be warned.… 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.
