10/10
Class apart from all the other Sitcoms
29 August 2011
I had no knowledge of such a series even existing. It doesn't feature in any top lists and I found it really hard to find. But fortunately I managed to get a hold of all the 4 seasons and I was very impressed to say the least. First of all it stars Ryan Reynolds who is one my favorite actors, so naturally at first I thought that this would be a one-man show with the others playing second fiddle, but i was grossly mistaken. Each and everyone of the cast members are endearing. They have played their parts to perfection and thus this show cannot be called two guys... it should be more like 3 guys and 2 girls. Now for the content part. I have seen countless number of sitcoms in my short life and one thing that I have found common in everyone of them is that there are always a lot of jokes about sex, innuendos and other vulgar stuff. Don't get me wrong, all that stuff is hilarious but this doesn't have any of the vile stuff. This is purely humor at its best, the proper situational comedy. I loved each episode of it purely because I could relate to almost all situations. This is a story about real people and not the ones to whom fantabulous things happen to. Ryan Reynolds, as Berg, is awesome. He has brilliant comic timing and can pull of almost anything with a charming smile. Richard Ruccolo, as Pete, was surprisingly great. In fact he has outdone Ryan in many scenes. He is obsessive, panicky, crazy and funny. Traylor Howard, as Sharon, is brilliant too. She is bubbly, charismatic and really cool. She plays the girl-next-door to perfection. Nathan Fillion, as Johnny, better known as Castle by some, is actually really great. Its like he knows that he is not the lead, yet he manages to hold on. He has this sheer presence in some scenes. He is adorable, honest, smart and really talented. This is a great and intelligent series and everyone must watch it for pure fun.
