Looking forward to this, but anyone want to bet on which episode it'll be pulled to "return later in the year" ??.
Perhaps we should have a sweep .. I'm going say they'll split it in two, so we'll get around 12 before it's pulled.

Pretty much the entire season has aired in the US, so I don't imagine there will be any breaks in the run. The breaks only usually occur when the US has done the same.
Also, it's much better than most of the E4's American offerings. It's quite crude and genuinely funny.
This is Channel 4 we're talking about
I think the problem is that most American comedies these days are quite polarising. For example, if you hate Zooey Deschannel then New Girl just won't work and if you hate crude humour you probably won't 2 Broke Girls.
Happy Endings > The Big Bang Theory
What about Community? Parks and Recreation? Rules of Engagement?
all very good comedies.
2 Broke Girls looks dire
It takes a few episodes to get used to the crudeness, it's maybe just because I'm used to more clean cut US comedies, it takes a while to set in that this is just what the characters are like, it's not just thrown in for the sake of it.
Has the show been renewed for a second series? Jennifer Coolidge's addition makes me think it hasn't and she's been brought in to somehow boost ratings but I'd love it to return for a second run.
I dont have nothing against ZD at all and was looking forward to New girl but IMO its just cheap storylines and in places it would not look out of place on the disney channel.
My view has always been its so easy to make a funny comedy but darn hard to make a quality comedy.
But of course its really just down to personal choice but in my view most comedies that have come out the US in the last 5 years or so just follow the same lines, nothing new or origional at all.
But according to some here 2BG got a crude element to the show, so it may yet appeal to me
If they cared about good television, there would be plenty to choose from.
Also, New Girl is perfectly fine. And Bob's Burgers was good.
I consider myself part of E4's 'core demographic and audience', but I like 'more intilligent' shows such as The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, 30 Rock and Community, as well as shows like New Girl, 2 Broke Girls, The Big Bang Theory and American Dad.
To call all or E4's core audience idiots, just because you dislike some of their shows, was a tad overzealous and idiotic of you.
PS: Bob's Burgers is appauling, It's so unfunny I wouldn't even call it a comedy
Bob's Burgers > American Dad, New Girl, 2 Broke Girls
In your opinion.
People watch tv to unwind, mindless things are entertaining to some whilst others like to unwind with documentaries or dramas.
Sometimes the last thing I want after a day at work is to watch anything that involves even a hint of thinking.
Made in Chelsea cast sell out PAs at Students unions with ease, ie a whole building of people getting degrees, not stupid.
Not everyone wants to be educated by TV shows. Stop being so rude and insulting please.
Just because they're on a channel doesn't mean it's entire audience watches them. They air Cbeebies on BBC One, doesn't mean it's entire audience are toddlers...
I happen to disagree strongly, (and was slightly offended by the casual autism joke in the pilot), but who am I to decide what you should like and what you shouldn't
I haven't seent that episode of American Dad and a quick google couldn't find anything, so I think you may be mistaken. Anyway, Family Guy got negative publicity for a joke involving Down's, so I doubt Fox would do it again. Also, I have no problem with Autism jokes, I regularly watch and enjoy both The Big Bang Theory and Community. There was just something about that joke in Bob's Burgers that didn't resonate well with me.
I certainly don't care how crude a show is. Racism, only offends me if it is clearly intended. For example, a racist joke doesn't offend me but somebody being outright racist without humour, sarcasm or irony would. One of the reasons I like 2BG was because it was ridicoulsly crude and over the top.
