    This is a great show. It is one of the best shows on t.v. and hopefully the word will get out and the show will continue for many seasons.

    This show is awesome, the cast act so natural. Storyline is great. Brian O'hara has sex appeal and great chemistry with co-star Brigitte. WoW, we love this show and watch it even when I have exams around the corner. Its better than reality shows and is at the top with desperate housewives/ greys.

    This is one of the best shows I have found since ER 11 years ago. It is great drama - a bit of comedy and very heartwarming!

    As a 28 yr old guy working through a love life, a work life, making time for friends, and making time to still be a kid, this show resonates so well. I look forward to each episode and try to get my friends on board to watch.

    This is absolutely my favorite show. I have been hooked since day one. It's such a shame that the Network can't see a quality show when they have one.

    I love this show!! This show for my friends and I, all turning 30 this year, is the equivalent of Beverly Hills 90210 when we were in High School. I really hope that ABC gives this show another chance. The best thing they can do for this show is to change the time to an earlier slot. I may not always be awake to watch it, but I tevo it every week!!

    I absolutely loved this show. With regards to what critics had to say - we do not watch these type of shows for the realism! None of these primetime shows (including Grey's Anatomy) are based on anything real. Matter of fact nothing about Hollywood is real. We watch these shows for entertainent, not to see how much we can relate it to our own lives or to compare to another show. This I absolutely loved this show.

    One of the best shows on TV. No violence just true friendship and love by characters that you are constantly rooting for. At the end of every show you are left saying...Wow, what a great show!

    This is one of the best shows on tv that no one is watching. What makes this show great is that people come and go in life and only your true friends stick around. Is it a little cheesy at timess? yes. This is my generation 30 something except its has humor in it. The second season was great. They put this show in a bad time on Mondays at a bad slot. I hope ABC gives it one more season. This is one of the best shows on tv that no one is watching.

This show will gain popularity definatly. People might hate on this show but its closer to life than you think. This show really speaks to a crowd that marketers dont aim for and thats the 30 something crowd. The cast is superb and the stories are great. Its ashame the Denna and Dave storyline couldnt be stretched out more. I thought I was wrapped up a little too fast. But with the cast not knowing the fat of the show I can see why the writers did what they did. the addition of the new cast members was pure genius as well. If the show gets a third sdeason, I wnat the attention to focus on them more as well . They were underused this season and for good reason. But they need ot be explored more for next season. Anyway this is the best show on tv no one is watching and thats ashame… Expand

    Ironically, the differences among the characters that make the show interesting and even, at times, compelling, also test its credibility.

    There's not a lot wrong about "Brian.'' But there's not a lot right about it, either.

    Like a sunnier version of thirtysomething, lacking only the inspired casting, the insightful writing and the wrenching realism.
