I was initially intrigued because the show follows HIMYM and actually features 3 females that were on the show at one point in time - all of which play friends/roommates on the show. Includine Sarah Chalke, Sarah Wright and Judy Greer.
The show is following the love story of Ben [Jason Biggs] and Kate [Sarah Chalke] and showing a pretty accurate depiction of what new couples go through. While they are on their way of the road to love, their best friends start to have a love hate relationship which really makes the show.
Great things about this show?:
1. The casting - Sarah Chalke, Jason Biggs, Judy Greer and Tyler Labine are all great comedy actors and they show it well with their characters.
2. The writing - The sub-plot of Greer's and Labine's characters having a possible romance is quite an interesting thing to write - something you look forward to seeing the following week.
3. The acting - All of the actors have great interaction with each other and it really makes the show work. In a certain way this is a HIMYM sitcom working without someone like Barney Stinson and not always revolving around a bar. In HIMYM - while good- it has some ridiculous things always happening to the characters, "Mad Love" shows a more realistic approach to everyday life with romance and with friends. It's a "Friends" in the making -- you know just instead of a coffee shop they are always in the Empire State Building.
4. The random guest appearances. In the second episode, Martin Starr [Freaks and Geeks] makes an appearance as a weird neighbor pretending to be Greer's date. Martin Starr is a great a comedian and he helped the episode just by being there.
I can't wait to see more from this show - I think it will have a real chance as long as the plot keeps up. I just hope the ratings of this show go up - it is worth the watch.
