It's OK if you like Nicole Sullivan but
8 October 2005
Warning: Spoilers
This comedy doesn't show me anything I've already seen before, "A Desperate Housewives" type story (all three of the friends featured dated the same man) mixed in with elements of "The View" (they all sit all around telling the days events and mocking it).

Overall I would say based on the pilot it's nothing special. The first thing I didn't care a damn bit about the characters especially Emerson Ives (Christina Moore) who for all intentional purposes is the dumb blonde (though you would be confused given the fact that her friends aren't that smart). Ava Summerlin (Gail O'Grady), Nicole Reed (Sullivan) seem to run some real estate agency but of course that's not the real show here. In the pilot Reed, and Ava are sad to find out they slept with the wrong man and that Emerson is now dating him. Then of course, these leads to the usual mishaps with one party being caught in a comprising position (ala Three's Company, and a host of other better sitcoms). Then of course four friends end up drinking their night away and putting the blame on the guy instead of each other. Well I did enjoy the Oprah Winfrey jokes that gets old since we all know what kind of person Oprah is.

For Nicole Sullivan fans well she won't let you down, she does her usual crazy bit routine and does her usual smirks, and gags as only the former MAD TV member could do, but I just don't see the show lasting. First on it's a Friday Night under a crappy timeslot (9:30 pm on the west coast) going head to head against CBS's Hot new show Threshold. Even taking a look at upcoming episodes like "Chick stuff" (mourning of a pet chicken, leads to the four girls leads to them learning they dialed someone while drunk),I really don't see anything good about the show that really stands out. It might be probably among more women and men since it's geared obviously to a more female audience, which might be a bad thing since it's all about the ratings, but if I had to give a recommendation, I'd say unless you're bored don't watch it, it's nothing special.
