    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.

    You people do not understand the simple humor in this show. It does not strive to be anything other than what it is, the television equivalent to a drunken night at McDonalds.

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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    This show is funny if you're a guy and under 30 plain and simple. If you're a guy under 30 and don't like the show you are either a, too serious about life or b, a douche!

    Me and my friends love to watch this show. It's pretty stupid, but it's very very funny. I don't think it matters that characterizations between the 'you' character and the others is impossible.

    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.

    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.
