Anyone who’s ever been in a relationship, been part of a breakup or simply been drunk can appreciate this show. Filled with college humor that an older audience can relate to as well, the cast brings in laughs with real-life situations that are just too funny to be made up. From the classic drunk girl who just broke up with her boyfriend to the married couple who has been together just a bit too long for each other’s comfort, add in the accidentally married couple who met during a round of seven minutes in heaven and you have this show in a nut shell. Though this show isn’t full of jokes that make you laugh so hard your belly hurts, it does the trick for a quick sixty-minute pick-me-up if you’re having a bad day. If anything is learned from this show it’s this: if you’re planning on getting absolutely wasted make sure you have a white t-shirt and a sharpie to document your evening if you actually want to remember any of your adventures. And if you don’t want to remember any of your days living the life of the lush, wait about twenty years. It will all come back to haunt you, probably in the form of your ex-husband or wife.
