First of all, the pilot is a little lame, but the show gets better. At first glimpse, it's the next HIMYM, but -1 character (which, at the start was the 'next FRIENDS' -1 character), but it improves.
We have four people: Ben (Jason Biggs), Kate (Sarah Chalke), Connie (Judy Greer) and Larry (Tyler Labine).
Ben and Kate almost immediately hook up the moment they see each other. Do you know the feeling, when you get on a bus, take your seat, and the next stop a young couple gets on, the guy sits next to you, the girl sits on the guy's lap, they start making out, often pushing you with their elbows? This is how I feel when I watch these two. They are disturbingly oversweet. Even when they are arguing, it doesn't seem real, and you know right away, they will get back together in no time. The second disturbing thing is: Sarah looks like 33-34, Jason's around 24-25 (even though, in real life, he is only a 1-2 years younger). He tries to grow a mustache and a beard, but that's only creepy.
On the other hand, Judy's and Tyler's characters are much more interesting. Even though they seem to hate each other, their verbal fights are very witty and funny, kind of like in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, you can't help watching them and hoping for them to get together. (Which, I hope will never occur, since they would lose their most of their characteristics, just like (SPOILER) Leonard in TBBT, after hooking up with Penny.)
Other than the disturbing syrup of Ben and Kate's overperfect love, the show is quite good, funny jokes, and some familiar guest stars.
