If sexual
innuendo and jokes at the intelligence level of a fifteen-year-old boy are
still humorous to you, or if you still are fifteen, “2 Broke Girls” will make
you laugh. I watch the series with mild amusement, mostly because I have met
girls like the foul-mouthed and sex-obsessed Max (Kat Denning), as well as the
superficial and self-involved Caroline (Beth Behrs). I watch the show because I
can turn it off after twenty minutes, reminded why I no longer date those
girls. After three seasons, both have grown slightly. Max has her first real
relationship and takes steps in achieving her dreams. Caroline is also humbled
with time from wealth, though her disgustingly greedy side still emerges with
any hint of wealth in men, even despising Max’s boyfriend when she thinks he is
poor despite having no money herself.
Max and Caroline
work in a Brooklyn diner, although it often appears much more like the trendy
hipster cities of Los Angeles than New York
Attempting to
escape their job, the girls try and start up a cupcake business. This season
they open a store in the back of the diner, after failing at a larger venture
in the previous season. The series is full of many devices to keep them from
succeeding too soon, because what kind of show called “2 Broke Girls” has
successful entrepreneurs. Max starts going to pastry school this season, which
falls apart as quickly as the shop from the previous season. Although the
sexual innuendo and puns are clever, the plot of the show quickly discards
storylines with absolutely no sentimental regret, making it even more
impossible to care about these polar opposite tragedies of human beings.
The DVD release
for the third season of “2 Broke Girls” has all twenty-four episodes on three
discs. There are also a handful of special features dispersed among the discs,
including unaired scenes and a gag reel.
