User Reviews

Awesome!!

At first I had no interest in watching this because of the lame title. In fact, today that's the only bad thing I have to say about the show. I don't really understand what the situation is with Two Guys and a Girl in the US but as a UK viewer I get to see this through Trouble. They were showing a triple bill and that was all I needed for this to instantly become on my favourite shows! It's amazing how orginal the gags and plots are. I hear hilarious lines on this show that I haven't heard anywhere else. The only character that's ever annoyed me is Irene when she had a crush on Pete, but every main character is awesome nonetheless. Especially Pete and Berg, who remind of the old Joey and Chandler. The settings are fantastic, especially when they're all involved in something together. The Halloween specials rock! I wish to see a lot more of Two Guys and a Girl. I would agree that this is the most underated show out there. Highly recommended for everybody.
