Much Better Than Friends
2 March 2014
Warning: Spoilers
This show was miles ahead of Friends, which was sold on Ross & Rachel and clung to that idea til the end of the show, ending on R & R as well.

2G1G was about the three characters, but wasn't about which guy would she choose. Instead it involved into their relationships, with Nathan Fillion becoming the girl's boyfriend, and Ryan Reynolds getting two of the funniest girlfriends around, first the independent feminist who was later revealed to have Cheryl Ladd and Steve Landesburg as her parents (very funny) then he was stuck with the little girl who had the equally short boyfriend.

I'm surprised to see it ran for such a short time, as it seemed to expand much further than Friends ever did, with its meaningless episode about a guy whose genitalia slipped out of his shorts and the 'Friends' danced around like they were Catholic teachers trying to tell him about it.

I mean, Phoebe, who was this single woman and very outspoken, would get all bewildered when she saw his junk hanging out.

2G1G was much more grown up in its subject matter and humor and how it handled both.
