Reviews

mmalloryyy I liked it. I just finished the series on Netflix in about a week and a half between work and days off. I was a little disappointed how it ended, but than again, I'm sure the writer was too, since they were canceled. I didn't love it or anything, I feel like they killed off too many people too fast in two seasons, could've been why it nose dived. I was little disappointed with Marjorie and how she ran off and just when I started getting use to the fact she was gone and I was really POed when she came back, because even though Heather was an irrational decision, I thought they were going to work it out and I thought Brian's new girlfriend Bridget was annoying, but I was happy Dave and Deena ended up back together, although the open marriage thing was out of control.
GazTruman I started watching this series because it replaced the same time slot of The OC which is my favourite show. I thought nothing was going to fill the whole which the oc has left, and it didn't take long for me to get hooked into the what about brian web! I've now watched the entire series again this last two weeks, and I've got to say, what about brian is brilliant!There are some brilliant stories throughout the two series, exploring relationships, open relationships, striper relationships, 3-way relationships, friend relationships. Also covering death, disability, and birth.There are some priceless comedy moment in the series, i find there is something in every character which i like or can relate to. The best quote in the whole series has to be: "You were that guy in college who invited the girl up to his room to look at his cds and you actually showed her...your cds" this quote cracked me up, it summed up dave grecco perfectly. Granted the ending appeared rushed because the show got axed short, but i love it, i thought it was a great ending! The fact he went over to laura's is brilliant. Laura was the best girl out of all the girls brian got with through the series!Great series, and to be honest im glad it hasn't been given another series. It can now become a great show that not everyone loved or heard of whilst it was on.Never got bored, some great stories. Quality show!The series starts asking "what about brian?" and im left thinking "what about brian?" pure genius!!
cineasten89 I have watched the five episodes of the first season as well as the fifteen episodes of the second season which have been aired so far- and so far, I am completely loving this TV show. It is one of the finest TV shows that are airing right now, because of its three-dimensional characters and very realistic story. The cast is of the high class- the funny, somewhat cute Dave Greco who has troubles in his marriage with Deena; Brian, who never seems to be able to have a long relationship with a girl; Adam, Brian's best friend, who is a lawyer; Marjorie, who is a doctor and leaves Adam by the altar; Nicole, Brian's sister whose husband dies and leaves her a single mom to a new born baby. An interesting TV show that gives us many surprises by each episode. The most TV show that is being aired on TV right now often has one dimensional characters, especially when it is about men, but in this TV show it is so different. I like the new idea to make a TV show about thirty years old group of friends and their everyday life, instead of the melodramatic and unrealistic high school TV shows or the morally TV shows like 7th heaven- or the "rich life" TV show, The O.C.This is definitely better than Desperate Housewives, according to myself.
[email protected] This show is completely under-appreciated! The characters are fantastic- so lovable, especially Barry Watson. Since moving on from 7th Heaven he is now showing us what a mature adult actor he is. The rest of the cast, many of whom we've all seen before are a terrific blend of quirk and sincerity. What a great ensemble! So many of the shows on television now are lacking in the writing department, but this show gives you creativity (ex. eloping with a stripper) without getting to be too ridiculous by bringing the characters down to earth. I hope this show continues to get picked up for many more seasons. If you haven't watched this show, make sure you give it a shot. It's wonderful.
