About a Girl

I'm a very opened minded person but when I saw previews to this shows I had little to no expectations of this show but once I started watching it I found myself quite surprised it wasn't all that bad of a show yes at times it can be cheesy and campy but with this show it's alright because yes it's that but it's also funny,cute, and sweet and it isn't too serious like most of the shows on The-N most of them are too hard core and sometimes you just want to relax and laugh a little and that's when "About A Girl" comes in I recommend this show for many reasons if you don't like it fine but I do think you should definitely give it a chance and check it out I think in the end you'll be quite surprised and happy to watch "About a Girl"

This is a very weird show. It's The N's first stab at a comedy series instead of a teen drama. When you watch it at first you may go insane and think "wow the acting sucks, the writing sucks, everything about it sucks". I think if you watch it enough you learn to tolerate it. It's a comedy after all. It's not suppose to take itself seriously.

But it's really weird because the writing, the acting, and the characters themselves sound like something you would find on the Disney Channel except on this show you will usually hear a cuz word or two and yes plenty of sexual innuendo and liaison jokes meant for an older audience. Of course this is a Canadian series so it can easily attract a younger audience. I'm an American and this show would most likely get a 14 rating in the States as opposed to a PG rating in Canada.

There's all the usual cheesy fluff you would find in a usual romantic comedy sitcom...the predictable main character ship, the blond antagonist, the dorky best friend...etc etc. I watch the show cuz it's set in college. I guess it's not all that bad, but if you're not use to a comedy for any audience with a lot of fluff and a possibly annoying female lead, then proceed with caution.
