Beth Behrs was good on The Neighborhood. I think they made a mistake canceling it. The whole cast was good and the show was funny.

Can’t Wait. Really enjoy this show. A fun half hour every week. Too many networks and streamers ending sitcoms, so its nice to see ABC actually have several good ones.

Love the show… except for the laugh track.

So she is a regular? It says “joins the cast for the third season,” so I guess so. It’ll be great to have her on TV again!

No. She will be a guest star, as the story notes.

Let’s see how long it takes the writers to work the line “two broke girls” into the script. I’m guessing it makes it by the first episode.
