Storyline

Sassy, streetwise Max works two jobs just to get by, one of which is waiting tables during the night shift at the retro-hip Williamsburg Diner. Sophisticated Caroline is an uptown trust fund princess who's having a run of bad luck that forces her to reluctantly give waitressing a shot. At first, Max sees Caroline as yet another in a long line of inept servers she must cover for, but she's surprised to find that Caroline has as much substance as she does style. When Caroline discovers Max's knack for baking amazing cupcakes, she sees a lucrative future for them, but they first need to raise the start-up money.

User Reviews

Not disappointed with this comedy

As a rule, I generally cast a jaded eye when new sitcoms are unveiled. There have been hundreds of these series launched since Lucy and Desi perfected the medium back in the Fifties. With that in mind, "2 Broke Girls" has just the right chemistry to gel into an amusing distraction. The pairing of Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs provides a good sense of comedic delivery and timing. The supporting cast seems to add well to the blend, especially Garrett Morris- a veteran from SNL, when that show was at the top of the heap. Of the two sitcoms Whitney Cummings had a hand in, "2 Broke Girls" is the better offering. While many of the conventions used in this series have been used many times before, "2 Broke Girls" infuses enough quirkiness to give this comedy a little different bent. I can't recall a sitcom that had a thoroughbred quarter-horse as a roommate in a Brooklyn apartment setting. By keeping a tight rein on the overused, trite jokes, and by Kat Dennings maintaining her sardonic attitude, "2 Broke Girls" might just be one of the sleeper comedies to bolster CBS.
