About this show

If you can think it, they will say it. From the producer of "Ride Along" and the director of "How I Met Your Mother" comes this unabashed new comedy about two diverse couples, who are both neighbors and best friends. As they go through life side-by-side, they can't help but analyze and obsess about everything. From topics like sex and race, to the fact that the trusted new babysitter just might be a porn star, nothing is out of bounds for this wildly outspoken foursome.

The scenes showcasing the "Is it because he`s/I`m black" comedy just don't do it for me. They were beyond played out over a decade back. The episode reaches deep into the dusty old trunk of outdated racial comedic devices and pulls out that old gem, spitshines it, and tries, (and fails imho), to pass it off as funny and hip again. This once briefly funny observation style may have been mildly entertaining once a couple decades back... Now it just seems kinda sad. I'll give the show a few more chances though

Does have moments of overly pc situations that can at times seem forced, overbearing, unwarranted, and could potentially grow tiresome over time depending on how often the show is going to pepper the episodes with the tired pc cliche types that occured in the pilot. That being said, there is some risque comedy which I like, some of the situations are kinda funny, and there are some attractive ladies on the cast.

I like the diversity. But it would have been nice to see the African American man involved in a loving interracial relationship. The show is cute but not funny.
