I cannot say enough good things about this show.
It is so funny, but so realistic at the same time. Not since Living Single has there been a show that captures the life of the Black middle class as well Girlfriends.
Some say this show is stereotypical, but to build likeable characters, sometimes you have to start with a framework everyone easily can understand. The story arc has taken these basic stereotypes and built full characters that diehard viewers have come to really love. We really did care when William quit his job at the firm, as we did when Joan was stuck trying to decide between her actor boyfriend and his agent.
Anyone open-minded person who appreciated Frasier would love this show.
I only hope that it a) enjoys a much longer life with the same or better quality of writing and b) old episodes are made available on DVD.
