I'll check it out, but I'm not yet sure what to expect. I really haven't seen any previews for it, but my Friday nights are not exactly demanding enough that I can't check this out

Sounds like a good show to pair up with Party Down -- I'm in.

Sounds interesting so I added it to my Netflix instant queue so I can give it a shot. I am a bit surprised that its only 30 minutes.

Sounded really interesting but I was very disappointed. The production values seemed really poor which didn't help at all. I may give it another shot because I really do wanna like it.

This looked and felt just like 'Starved'. Remember that show?

It felt really rushed, disjointed and kinda amateurish. Robyn Cohen makes me give it another shot though.

Isn't it from the same creator? I bailed on that show after a few episodes and I have a feeling I will do that with this one as well. But there was something interesting about Gravity that made me want to see a few more episodes first.

Plus I have Starz for 3 months (for Party Down) so I might as well watch something else on the channel.

FYI, Starz canceled this. Too bad because it slowly grew on me as the season went along.

I watched it, but it was pretty mediocre verging on bad, not really upset about it getting another season, though I did like seeing Krysten Ritter.

I just started watching this the other day. I'm two eps in, and I'm somewhat liking it right now. Mainly what's working for me is a lot of Schaeffer's real life eccentricities are incorporated into his character... and I loved his assholeness on "Why Am I Still Single?"

Too bad it got cancelled.

Well, I recently discovered, and was somewhat enjoying this (particularly Krysten Ritter!), but what a disappointing ending. Makes it all seem like a waste of time.

Obviously meant to be a cliffhanger, but I was hoping the season would've had some resolution, rather than cutting in the middle of a scene.
