Probably because people keep watching it for the very dumb reason of “irony” or “to see how bad it is” or “to make fun of it later” or some other nonsense. If it’s so bad, stop watching it and talking about it. ---

Change it to an HBO show called Two Naked Girls, and I might be interested. ---

I’ve seen most of the episodes and it’s not as bad as people say. It’s not a great show, but there’s always a few hilarious jokes per episode. ---

For all its crude humor, the show’s basic premise is that success comes from hard work and being self-sufficient. Who let a Republican write for TV? ---

I watch it because I don’t have cable and it follows a show that I sort of liked and still watch out of inertia. It (TBG) is really bad. The Polish upstairs neighbor that owns a cleaning service is about as grating a character as I’ve seen on a sitcom. Horrible, horrible, horrible. ---

Hey, the first season (and IMO the 2nd and 3rd) of Parks and Recreation was terrible and I had no clue how THAT show got renewed, but plenty of people on here seem glad it did…for all we know, season 2 of 2 Broke Girls could be the most brilliant comedy on TV next year! ---

It could also spawn the next Hitler. It’s our civic duty now to make sure the second season never sees the light of day! EDIT: That’s right, I Godwinized this thread, whatcha gonna do aboot it? ---

> [@Covered\_In\_Bees](#): > > EDIT: That’s right, I Godwinized this thread, whatcha gonna do aboot it? Congratulate you. We didn’t think it could be done, but you made it happen! It’s not a great show, but I am not surprised it got renewed. It’s a pretty safe and easy show that panders to the people who don’t want to think about what they are watching. ---

My wife watches the show so I’m subjected to it every so often. It’s not good but no worse than the next sitcom, IMO. If they cancel it I’ll just be sitting there while she watches something else. Most likely something without the filthy jokes or busty costar. ---

The show only exists because it is sitting in the time slot between **How I Met You Mother** and **Two And A Half Men**. I eat dinner and surf the web during the show but I don’t bother to turn off the TV. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/two-broke-girls-renewed-for-a-second-season/615770.md?page=2)
