Did anyone watch this on MTV after Jersey Shore? That was the two episode career.

I admit to watching it. I'm inclined to give MTV a chance with scripted comedy these days because they have show with Awkward, Death Valley (and somewhat Teen Wolf), that they can make entertaining shows.

I did not think it was bad but a little rough around the edges.

I hope it doesn't fall into the pit of watching the two single leads bang everyone they can while the the couple are on their own with sideplots.

I am a sucker for marriages on t.v. with couple that actually get along and want to have sex each other.

I also hope that (knee jerk reaction) they never go the will they/wont they route with the two single leads. It's interesting watching a male and a female be this open about their sex lives to each other with out any romantic tension on their part. I have female friends like that and there isn't anything weird about.

For now, I will keep watching.

Side note: I swear the single blonde reminds me of a blonde Lacey Chabert (Party of Five, Mean Girls). It was a little distracting.

I watched this. It reminded me of Undeclared. It was OK, but I'm not buying the lead male as a person who can snag women right and left. He comes off douchey and isn't very attractive, as well as physically tiny, so I just don't think all of these good looking women would want to go home with him.

Wait, is this seriously a show? I read this novel, actually, and in it, the guy is somewhat douchey and short and yet can bang women. It's a weird book.

Sorry I missed it. I guess.? I want to give it a shot because I loved Peter Vack on ATWT and I thought he got the shaft because they fired him to bring in a more attractive, surfer dude Casey. But it sounds like the show isn't that great.

It had moments here and there. I think it's very hipster, and trying much too hard though. Also (god I watch way too much MTV crap) - I feel like scenes Tina's job are essentially The City (Whitney's The Hills spin-off) all over again, but with dirtier looking people. Other than though though, Tina is kind of awesome.

Final thought: The show made me feel old and dated, at the ripe old age of 24. :/

I just successively watched all three episodes of this so far. I kind of dig it against my will, especially since the previews made it look super terrible.

I agree with everyone that Peter Vack's character isn't exactly Brad Pitt material but then again, when you're drunk and 23, pretty much anyone will do. Tina is hilarious. She has some pretty good zingers.

But unlike sooo many other of MTV's scripted reality shows, there really weren't moments where I was thinking, "why does this sound like a bunch of 40-somethings' idea of how 20-somethings talk?" (I'm looking at you, Awkward) I felt like the dialogue and scenarios were pretty realistic.

I'll give it another try. But if Tina and the other lead dude fuck, I'm out. DON'T GO THERE!

I find myself really liking this show, maybe cause I spent two summers in NYC. Yeah, it's way too hipster but it's like being in that happy drunk time for a half hour. I agree with LucyJJane, however, if Tina and Girlface bang, this show is dead to me.

Definitely way too hipster but I grew to really enjoy it. I'm bummed that it won't be back for another season :(

I caught a rerun of the premiere episode back in February on a weekend and watched out of sheer laziness (i.e., didn't feel like getting up to look for the remote) and I was hooked in spite of myself. It's oddly cute, and I found the characters charming in that greasy, crawling-with-gonorrhea sort of way. I was very disappointed to read the other day that it did not get picked up for season 2.
