Two Guys & A Girl

I finally got my hands on a taped copy of Two Guys and a Girl. Episode 'Liver and Learn'.

TWO GUYS AND A GIRL (1998 - 2001) - Johnny Donnelly



Content (2.5 nothing out of the ordinary): Two guys and a girl (none romantically involved with the other) live in an apartment building together. Once upon a time, they frequented/worked at a pizza place.
Production (2.5): Typical American sitcom with an annoying laugh track that "laughs" at the not-so-funny-parts. Compared to the best sitcom to every come out of a America (*cough*Arrested Development*cough*) it doesn't rate. Compared to something like Run of the House, it's an Oscar contender.
Acting (3): I never cared for TGAAG when it originally aired; Pete was a bore, Berg was a cockhead, Sharon was a whiney spaz and Ashley was quite easily the spawn of Satan. (As for Johnny, he was just "man stupid enough to marry whineo"). BUT. In hindsight, I was either too hard on the show or today, Nathan Fillion's face on a packet of peanuts would intice me into buying 50 packets! This particular episode was amusing enough, the cast dynamic is a lot better than other sitcoms and the acting didn't annoy as much as it used to.
Hair (4): His Firefly hairstyle (in this ep), all he really needed was a brown coat (funnily enough, at one stage he had a black coat on!). Additional point for Ryan Reynolds spiky 'doo, as much as I don't like that guy, he's got good hair.
Bonus (5): NF spent most of this particular episode shirtless, so that's a couple of points there. There was also a very amusing couple of bathroom/screaming scenes with some *sexy* little dance moves.


Total: 17

And on a site note, it's good to see that David Conrad does have another male lead these days (Ghost Whisperer for the uninformed).

He is pretty amusing in TGAAG, mainly 'cause of the stupid situations he (and Sharon) seem to get themselves in ... I especially liked the period where Johnny and Pete were firemen, that was classic!

btw, I think it's awesome you have your very own little Captain Tightpants doll hehe
