Breaking Down the Layers of 2 Broke Girls

2 Broke Girls, an American TV sitcom airing on CBS features a very ordinary premise. Its two main characters, Max Black and Caroline Channing, come from opposite sides of life but have been brought together by fate. Working as waitresses for a small Brooklyn restaurant, the two have since thought up of the idea of some day owning their very own cupcake store just as soon as they can save $250,000 which is not easy given the job that they have.

Nothing fancy and new about the plot, but in spite of this, 2 Broke Girls was seen by more than 19 million people in its pilot telecast. Many, however, attributed the huge public attention given to the program to Two Men and a Half. The sitcom premiered on its 9^th season minus Charlie Sheen an hour before 2 Broke Girls was first aired.

Nevertheless, the show producers considered the premiere episode a success. However, critics were not that receptive, with some of them giving 2 Broke Girls a fair score. In making the review, critics said themain characters appeared much like a younger and updated version of The Odd Couple which starred two guys having vastly opposing characters but have nonetheless found a friend in one another.

The setting of 2 Broke Girls was in a small restaurant so the jokes delivered are somewhat limited, and this resulted in a few unfunny moments even when a joke was being made. Additionally, lines having sexual undertones could hardly be prevented given the fact that the two main protagonists are young and attractive ladies.

Still, if you can live with these limitations, you will undeniably have a good time watching 2 Broke Girls. When you do so, try to keep a close watch on the tally that Max makes just before the show ends as this is a breakdown of the money she and Carol have made thus far and how far they are from earning the $250,000 that they need for their future shop.
