Am I the only TWoPer who caught the pilot? I'd watch for the eye candy alone, but it had at least one laugh-out-loud moment for me:
Mandy (to the stripper): Elizabeth Berkely is rolling in her grave.
Stripper: She's not dead!
Mandy (laughing): Yeah, right.

I saw it too, but I'm still deciding if I hate it or despise it. I like the eye candy, but everything else is just wretched. Why would attractive women even want to be around those two? I was wondering if the stars were also the producers or creators, since that's usually how they get to have the hot relationships.

Well, since the hot women are talking to the camera, I like to pretend their my girlfriends....Anyway, I love how in TV land, super-gorgeous single models are everywhere: the bar, the park, on the street, at a convenience story in the middle of the night, responding to craigslist ads, etc.
Not the funniest show ever, but it's only a half hour long, and South Park is a good lead-in for it. Looks like they shot 12 episodes. I'll probably keep it on my DVR as a guilty pleasure until it gets canceled.

I hate shows like this for that very reason. Not only are these guys 5's at best in the looks department but they are douchebags too. Why would attractive women be into them. This is a common theme on shows these days. Schlubby Guy/Hot Chick. Although, to be fair, none of the women seem particularly bright and this is Comedy Central so I shouldn't expect anything less.
The makers of Secret Girlfriend seems like they watch alot of porn and that's how they came up with the concept. Especially having it be from the viewers perspective. This will be my one and only time watching this show.

This show is basically a long Judd Apatow movie. And a long commercial for video phones.

Ok, it's an undeniably stupid show, but am I the only one who laughed when they hauled that dog into the park on a cart to pick up women?

There was an incident in the second episode that I found interesting, when they go to that party. The "I" or "you" character comes out to find the Jonathan Lipnicki character trying to kiss "my/your" ex-girlfriend and shoves him. The ex-girlfriend is a psycho wackjob that "I/you" clearly no longer want to be with, so why do "I/you" care? I guess the point was that the ex-girlfriend didn't want Lipnicki kissing on her (judging by her face), so "I/you" come to her rescue and take a poke at the guy.
This seems to be an even less subtle than usual attempt at allowing "you" to live this fantasy life where "you" are this incredibly cool guy who hangs around these two dorks who are obviously nowhere near as cool as "you", who has hot chicks falling all over "you", and get to slap around the other guys who annoy them so "you" can come to their rescue, just because "you" are so cool, I guess.
I also notice that even though "you" clearly have contempt for the self centered psychotic ex-girlfriend, you're still not above sleeping with her when the mood strikes "you".

I saw the pilot and I thought that would be the last time for me, but for some reason I gave it another chance. It never hurts to record a show and watch it later, Praise Tivo. So today I watched #1.5 Lesbians and #1.6 Jealous. I hate to admit that it was not bad. The creativity level has improved in just these few short episodes to the point where I will grudgingly continue to record it.
This is truly entertainment in its lowest form, but it makes me lol (because I'm only 13) so I'll keep watching it. Alone. Secretly.
I don't want to recap specific moments of hilarity, but I'll just say that if you have not seen this yet, or you have sworn it off, give it a chance. It is Beavis and Buttheadian humor for this age. And there is much gratuitous hotness to keep your attention. I think this show is getting better.

You know in that movie Amazon Women on the Moon, where the guy rents a "specialty" porn that has been tooled just to him? As in, the girl talking to the camera and saying his name and stuff? This is that. Except Amazon Women on the Moon was funny.
And dude, Comedy Central? Some girls watch South Park, too, so if you're gonna obviously cowtow to the males to fill in the pre-Stewart gap, at least throw us a little eye candy. You've got women volunteering to be ogled in glass boxes, for Jeebus' sake, at least cast one guy who's seen a treadmill in the past year.
ETA that I bet their apartment smells to hell like Axe body spray.

I have a terrible taste in men, so it is only natural that I find Sam weirdly attractive. Something about the actor's chubby, innocent (?) cuteness just gets to me. That's basically the only reason I watch the show.

Yep, that's why I'm watching it. Don't judge me!

The number of hetrosexual 20-something males in the world who are "above" sleeping with a woman who looks like that can fit into the trunk of my car.

Seriously,
the show started as a mobile phone series, moved to the web, then to Comedy Central.

Lol, good point. The only guy in this show that is supposed to be good looking is the "you" character. Part of the fantasy, I guess.
Speaking of which, in the last show Sam calls "you" the brawn, while he is the brains. So I guess we've learned something more about the central character, "you" are apparently ripped. Makes sense since "you" always seem to be pushing other guys around - the bellboy at the hotel, Lipnicki, destroying Sam in seconds in backyard wrestling.
The bit where "you" couldn't get together for sex with Jessica makes me think she's going to get back with Chad for some unfathomable reason. Seems too early in the series to dispense with the sexual tension. I can't believe I'm actually discussing plotlines on this.
That reminds me, I have a question since apparently up until now "you" and Jessica were just friends. Are you really just friends if you are admittedly yearning to have sex with each other? I realize the characters are in their early twenties though so maybe that's just part of the dynamic.

"You" and Jessica were at least friends with benefits, since she had sex with "You" after a softball game. She forgot to mention that she had a boyfriend who was out of town or something.

Actually, that was Mandy riding "you" like a G** Damn rodeo clown after the softball game.

Wasn't that Jessica who was riding You like a rodeo clown, to make it up to You for dragging You to the softball game and getting You hurt?
I don't see the clip up on Comedy Central's website. It's hard to keep track of all these hot women You're nailing.
ETA: The recent episode title was "Jessica is Finally Going to Bang You," so maybe I'm wrong. Again, too many hot women, they all blur together. It would probably help if I looked at their faces.

Okay, I watched the season finale. Let's see what we've learned. We've been told all season how Jessica is supposedly this sweet desireable girl, and as soon as You nail her, You lose interest in her (at least this is implied). Obviously, You are a jerk - no wonder the women trip over their own feet trying to get to you so fast.
Seriously, I suppose the ending was set up the way it was so that it would act as a good series finale in case it isn't renewed. And despite the fact that I've been watching it as a guilty pleasure, that would probably be a good thing.

I'm hoping that You are just tempted by the new girl (and have commitment issues) and You're not really going to leave Jessica in the pool catfight with Mandy. Seriously, Jessica comes over and has sex with You, then cleans Your room afterwards? And agrees to garage sex the next day? You shouldn't let her get away! There's nothing wrong with meeting her parents! Or a panini press!
I think this is the first time I laughed out loud watching this show: The scene at Mandy's father's birthday party, where a girl falls backwards on top of Sam, he accidently grabs her breasts, and..."Did you just...?!" "Yes. Did you?" "NO!!!" Poor Sam.

To be completely honest, look at the life You live. EVERY single hot woman You see goes out of their way to come on to You. You don't even have to try to pickup women, because they approach You. I imagine it would be hard to find the incentive to commit to one woman under those circumstances.

I hate liking this show but I do. I hope it gets picked up. Don't look at me right now as I am filled with shame.
ETA: Mandy is easily the best character on this show that can be seen. Her bat crap crazy magnificent.
