Surprisingly incoherent and boring
... View MoreIt isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
... View MoreIt is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
... View MoreStory: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
... View MoreIt's been eight years and I am still aching over the loss of "Lush Life." Wonderful characters, struggling urbanites getting by and sharing a cramped but colorful studio apartment in the city. Hysterically funny situations. "Lush Life" was canceled after the first episode, and only three episodes ever aired. I wish I taped them. Did you? Can we work out a deal? This was a truly original and hilarious show. I loved the episode where all their gay friends are trying to pose as Margot's boyfriend to ward off her ex. Or how 'bout when George fakes her own death so her paintings will sell for more money? This was way funnier and way more realistic depiction of being young and poor in the big city than "Friends" or "Sex and the City," two shows that honestly blew.
... View MoreThis show had a great feel about it, and it was pretty funny. The characters were all vastly different but played on each others differences very well. I came across a few episodes I had taped in my youth and was saddened that this show never got the kind of run it deserved.Petty and Parsons had wonderful chemistry with each other and the rest of the cast. They really had something they could have built on, too bad it never got a chance.
... View MoreThis was Lori Petty's first role after Tank Girl, and it really shows. The show was too sharp, too shocking, and way to unconventional for the viewing public. Pity. This one had real potential to break some new ground. Even the pilot was hilarious. Sadly, the pilot made up a sizeable percentage of the entire run of episodes.
... View MoreRich girl Karyn Parsons (from "Fresh Prince") breaks up with rich boyfriend, has to move in with LA low-life artist best buddy, Lori Petty. Since they're both broke, hilarity ensues.The show was considered crass because Lori's character was "sex-positive" -- she liked sex, sought it out, and encouraged her buddy to do the same. This was established in the first ep, btw -- had the show gone on longer, I'm sure George would have turned out to be bi-sexual.
