User Reviews

After reading some of the reviews on here I nearly didn't bother watching it. But I am certainly glad I did. I thoroughly enjoyed it and while it would rate as one of the best it was certainly entertaining. Whilst some of the jokes were predictable they still raised a smile. Its your classic sitcom set around a group of friends similar to How I met Your Mother and Friends though not in their league, but it is a lot better than Roommates for those who saw that show. Maybe it will appeal to those with a British type sense of humour. I think this is one people will have to watch to make their own minds up. Useless fact to finish Sophie Winkleman who plays Charlotte is actually married to a member of the British Royal Family Lord Frederick Windsor.

Charlotte Payne (Sophie Winkleman) goes to a dating service and given 100 questions to answer. Each question leads to the story of one episode. It's the romantic misadventures of Charlotte and her friends.

This got canceled real quick. They only gave them six episodes. It's a standard Poor Little Single Gal sitcom crossed with Friends variation. The show is led by Winkleman and David Walton. They're very solid as their characters. Christopher Moynihan is a little too whiny but that's expected. Collette Wolfe is funny. Smith Cho and Michael Benjamin Washington add the ethnicity. As a summer replacement, there's nothing wrong with the show. The network never gave it a chance. Realistically, it couldn't last anyways.

I think the British show "Coupling" is funnier, but not that much funnier. This show is kinda funny, not laugh out loud funny, but funny enough as TV goes. Coupling isn't all THAT funny either. I like the characters on Coupling better, though. The characters on this show are more realistic. Coupling's characters are more exaggerated, caricatured. Office is a better cop of a British show, but I don't think it's as funny as the British version either. Seems the British are more willing to have outrageous characters, along the lines of Seinfeld's Kramer. The characters on this show are about as outrageous as the ones on Friends. I think they'd do better to make the characters less believable, more outrageous.

100 Questions? I have but one...why? Are the networks so desperate that they have to put on crap like this? Okay, I guess that's two questions. This show is a formulaic Friends rip-off that is Obviously NBC's effort to recapture their glory days. The acting is stiff and stale. The characters are retreads of every sitcom twenty-something ever devised. Let me breaking down like this: Jill (the vapid blond)= Phoebe from Friends or Chrissy from Three's company; Leslie (materialistic, spoiled chick)=Friend's Rachel; Wayne (ladies man)=Joey; Mike (nervous, unlucky at love professional)=Chandler/Ross amalgam; Charlotte (level headed brunette)=Monica. The rip off characters are acted so poorly that I had a hard time sitting through this show. I figured I would give it a chance and try it again. My 12 year old watched it with me and literally asked the question, "Is this supposed to be Friends?"

This is a very fluffy and fairly mediocre show, to be sure, but it's not as terrible as some of the reviewers have stated. In terms of the comedic timing, laugh-track, set, and cast (despite being mostly American), the show looks and feels much more like a typical British sitcom than anything else NBC has aired in recent memory, including "The Office." Depending on your taste, this can be either good or bad. I first watched it because of Sophie Winkleman's presence as the main character. However, "100 Questions" is a more broad comedy than her former vehicle--the sharp and funny "Peep Show"--and will not necessarily appeal to the same demographic. Still, I found the silliness has grown on me, and I'll even be sad when the show is inevitably canceled.

Utterly putrid. I don't think that canceling this completely unfunny, extremely painful to watch mockery of "comedic" television would be out of order. In fact, I suggest NBC demand the money they allotted for this steaming pile's budget back. I will personally clear my schedule and take the witness stand for them. I may even look into my own lawsuit, although I'm not sure it's possible to put a realistic price tag on the crippling pain and suffering endured. Some might question why I did not change the channel, and I admit that is a valid query, and I can assure those people that anyone who had the severe displeasure of viewing this monstrosity were, like me, completely frozen by the demonic awful that is "100 Questions."

My head is shaking violently, my face covered in pure judgment. Very uncool, NBC. Very freaking uncool.

Terrible. Absolutely terrible. They paused for the laugh track between jokes. The jokes made no sense. I felt like they were laughing at me for watching this show every time the laugh track kicked in. I was humiliated and embarrassed.

The actors were completely unknown to me, and I just happened upon this since all my regular shows ended for the year. I hoped pathetically for a few cheap jokes and was returned with a cheap laugh track.

Perhaps if I was in my mid 40s, just coming out of several failing relationships with complete imbeciles I would be able to appreciate the content of this. Alas this show has no redeeming value save for pushing one more reality failure off the airs.

Avoid this with all costs and please watch a show with creative writing and a plot line that isn't quite so pathetic. Please don't watch this. It is not even worth pirating.

I've been looking for a new show to watch this summer and stumbled on 100 Questions, the other night. I actually laughed out loud 3 times during the show. I was really entertained and found it a witty, sweet and enjoyable half an hour. So much so that I was disappointed as the show came to a close for the night and am anticipating next week's episode. I also loved that How I Met your Mother followed so I could watch one great show followed by repeats of another show I love.

David Walton, I particularly love in the show. He does a great job portraying Wayne. The characters are lovable and relate able and remind me of my group of friends. Definitely Check it out!

Find a happy place...find a happy place... For heaven's sake will you please turn the damn laugh-track off!!! What the hell was that? What did NBC do to make the American public deserve this garbage? My ears are still bleeding almost 24 hours later! It was a Thursday night too, I was always ready to be entertained with their line-up. This was torture! Geneva Convention breaking torture! I didn't even watch "Friends" and I knew they were trying to rip them off! It wasn't even listed on the schedule, so when it started I thought maybe it was a skit-comedy show because of the overwhelming use of canned laughter. The girls are cute, but that can only take you so far. I noticed the IMDb has this show as "2009". I can only hope they bury this "thing" so deep in a salt-mine that it will never be seen again. Better yet the Marianas Trench, or a deep space probe will do. Just not on TV.

I really like this show, it's fresh and hilarious, good casting and everything looks and feels great. I hope they don't cancel it because there are some people who doesn't like it. I think it has very good potential to become a regular series among the successful sitcoms. I like the British accent and the girls and Smith Cho is gorgeous. The main theme, although at first looks like How I Met Your Mother, is original and fresh. I enjoy it a lot. When I saw the very first episode, because I have read some 'reviews', I didn't expect too much, but I was surprised how funny this show is. I thought this is another bored mid-season sitcom to fill the blanks in summer, but clearly not. This is the best show after Modern Family showed up.

I love sitcoms. I really do. Both single-camera like Arrested Development, Community, 30 Rock, Modern Family, etc. and Multi-camera like Seinfeld, Mad about You, Friends, Frasier, Cheers, etc. The fact that there were only five multi-cam sitcoms with audiences this past season was sad. The fact that the latest entry, 100 Questions, was supposed to be a comedy was even more sad to me.

The show is primarily and deeply unfunny. There were a couple bits at the end that elicited a small chuckle, but I had to wait almost 22 minutes into a comedy to have a mild laugh. That's bad. The lead is completely unlikeable. There seems to be the thought that as long as she has a British accent, she will be charming is a misnomer. This actress, in this role, is charmless. I can't speak for her in other roles, because I have never seen her before. I cannot comment on the other actors because now, less than 24 hours after having watched it, I cannot remember them at all. That is a bad sign for the producers of this show.

The dialogue was trite, predictable and snore-inducing. Seriously, how did this script get the green-light? The overly sweetened laughter is a massive red-flag. If the audience doesn't laugh when it's performed right in front of them, it won't be more funny if you add canned laughter. How I Met Your Mother has no audience even though it is show multi-cam style, yet it doesn't feel like canned laughter. You guys need to ask them how they do that. Really. Go now.

NBC - you can do much better. MUCH! Have higher standards with scripts, huh? Unlike what some others think, yours is not a dying brand. It WAS a dying brand, but by keeping quality shows like CHUCK, Community, 30 Rock, and The Office even though the ratings aren't super, you are regrowing your brand in the right direction. Keep THAT up - Don't drag it down with this crap.

Pitiful. Watched it on Hulu because all the good shows ended. It seems like a disgusting merge of "How I Met Your Mother" and, well, pretty much everything like that. Than they try to add the crazy bearded guy so it will appeal to "Always Sunny" fans...and... this is just one mess of a pilot.

I actually thought this was a reality show asking women about their personal lives or something at first, similar to that lie detector show.... Jesus was I bored. The laugh track is, well, completely laughable, and the jokes are retarded (lack of better word.) Anyway, Mix every single crappy part from a sitcom you have seen, from Fraiser to Friends to ones you wish you had never seen and Voila! And Iv'e only seen the first 7 minutes....

I can only assume that this show was built to test the sheer strength of will of the viewers. Having started watching this show out of desperation, and I assure you, that is the only reason to even look at this, I decided that this couldn't have possibly have been green-lit as an actual comedy.

I've found a distinct form of cognitive dissonance sets in after a time listening the laugh track which rarely seems to kick in after a "joke" and instead comes after the end of a normal sentence. The only humour I ever actually came across was from a surreal moment when the Korean member of the group hides in a piano and upon being found, the two male characters sigh and exclaim, "Ah, Koreans..." as if hiding in pianos was a stereotypical behaviour for them.

To summarise, this is perhaps one of the worst shows I have ever had the misfortune to come across and those people that are trying to defend it could not be more off the deep end.

PS. The British lead can act so very much better than that; check the Peep Show to see and please do not judge her based on this. It'd be cruel.

I watched "100 questions" this morning and after seeing the show checked here what other people say about it. But there were only one 'review' saying 100 Questions series are total disaster. I disagree. Ever since FRIENDS I've looked for easy comedy series which wouldn't annoy me. And it's not easy to find such a show. Until today! Even if jokes were silly or little bit stupid, they were kind of funny. Imagine if you'd see FRIENDS for the first time, you wouldn't believe that this show is going to be amazing. I hope with 100 Questions it will be the same. Actors are unknown, but that's good. Girl with British accent is very sweet. And there's not only stupid laughing, there are some serious lines as well. Hope I won't be wrong after some episodes. Enjoy watching! It's comedy, don't take it serious!

Wow how sad, they stole the characters from "Friends" and the premise from "How I meet your Mother" threw in some really less than average writing and no one is surprised that we got this mess. Which is a real shame because Michael Benjamin Washington, Sophie Winklemen, and Kelen Coleman are all very talented comedic actors. Any number of original decisions could have rescued this sitcom. Original characters, an ensemble of actors that included more than three with talent, deleting the laugh track, (ever notice how the louder the laugh track the worse the show?).

I want to agree with the folks who liked this show. I can see how the show could be funny, but it is going to take a lot of fixing. I would start by getting writers who can translate funny ideas into funny words then replacing "Joey" and "Chandler" the actors and the characters.

I was shocked at the hatred in some of these reviews. I figure either they are frustrated critic wanna be's or TV is the crutch they need to get thru life. This was a delightful little comedy that was entertaining and funny. Plus a couple of dramatic moments that gave promise for the future. The cast was excellent with one weak point. The short guy that couldn't say a pick up line was a little weak but given time I am sure he will improve. Perhaps it is the character and not the actor. The British girl was both charming and pretty. I will take this over How I Met Your Mom any day. HIMYM is based on sex. Barney & Robin have no redeeming values what so ever. The main point is that this is only TV. It is not a solution to life nor is it a religion. Just enjoy it or change channels, but try to contain your hatred.

4/10.

From the description, I expected something completely different. It wasn't interesting to me and I watched the series just because it's short. I generally don't like comedies, and especially not when they have laughter in the background. The main actress is VERY disliked, and the acting of the whole team is bad. The series left an impression on me, "This is very stupid."

This isn't a classic like Friends or Cheers, but a funny show with an appealing cast. The first two episodes had more laughs than the last 2 seasons of The Office. NBC should just cancel that show and put it out of it's misery. Sophie Winkleman is beautiful and very funny. I fell in love with her the second that I saw her. I also like Smith Cho. She is cute and her character is very funny. I don't understand why they need a laugh track, but it doesn't bother me. I enjoyed the first two episodes.It's a good summer replacement show. It is better than another Tough Love or Real Housewives show. I hope that it gets a chance. With all the problems going on right in the world right now it is just nice to forget about everything for a half hour.

I rather enjoyed this comedy - I thought the cast was appealing and the show was funny but I guess I live in a cave because the absolute red hot hATRED of some of these other comments make me laugh even more. Read them - "putrid" "terrible" - hey - it is twenty minutes of television, okay? It isn't claiming to change your life, it is some jokes in between ten minutes of commercials on a dying network. I like the one comment where the person seemed personally offended by it. Really? If you knew anything about broadcast television, it is very rare for any show to slip through the dangerous, shark filled waters of TV executives without having it turned into pablum. 30 Rock is 30 Rock because Tina fey and Lorne Michaels are powerful figures and wouldn't take notes from NBC. That is why it is unique and it's own voice. But most shows have to deal with notes and interference - and usually you are told make them more likable - make them good at their jobs, etc. In other words all the things Seinfeld wasn't. In fact, today Seinfeld would be cancelled after their low rated six episodes. Calm down. Sorry you didn't "get" all the jokes. 100 Questions is a fine show but apparently there are subliminal messages that set off mental patients.
