What do you think? Do you still like the Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23 TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I love this show, it’s hysterical! I’m extremely disappointed with ABC’s decision and don’t plan on supporting this network any longer.
take it to TBS! 🙂
I was very disappointed to discover that ‘Don’t Trust The B—-‘ had been cancelled! It had been about 5-6 years that i had come to watch anything on the major networks. Over those years I had found programming on the smaller cable nets that kept me satisfied, whilst the major 3 were busy peddling their predictable garbage. I kept tabs on all the new shows I was ‘missing’ via Entertainment Weekly’ but nothing ever appealed to me enough to come over to the dark side. I eventually did with shows like ‘New Girl’, ‘The Middle’ and of course, ‘Don’t Trust… Read more »
Best show since Seinfeld in my opinion. Please don’t cancel!
The team of actors and writers are a brilliant collaboration. I agree the powers that be should put Happy Endings out if its misery first and give us fans what we really want! More hilarious episodes if our favorite team to look forward too sharing with friends and family! Is that too much to ask? At the very least give us or last fix of the remaining episodes please!
I really hope this show doesn’t get canceled. I’ve been enjoying every episode.
THEY NEED TAKE OFF HAPPY ENDINGS BEFORE APARTMENT 23!!!
THE HORRIBLE RATINGS OF HAPPY ENDINGS WERE BRINGING DOW APARTMENT 23 TOO!
THE IDIOTS FROM ABC DOENS’T KNOW THAT????
THEY ARE SINKING 2 SHOW AT THE SAME TIME!
I watched Don’t Trust the B expecting to dislike it. It surprised me. It isn’t just a hollow concept like I expected. It’s clever and it’s funny. Pretty consistently. That said, I’m 99% certain it will be canceled. Showing a slew of episodes out of order recently thwarted the show’s momentum. ABC’s handling of Don’t Trust the B reminds me of its handling of Better Off Ted a few years ago. Little promotion, burning off episodes quickly. I’ll be very surprised of we see the B next season. Which is sad. There isn’t much good comedy on TV. The end… Read more »
I couldn’t agree more
NOOOOOO WAY! It should’nt be cancelled!!!!!
This show is hilarious!!!! The cast is so great together and krysten is perfection
I love this show. It is really clever, and a shame that it might get cancelled. James Van Derbeek is great. Of course most Americans prefer mindless reality television.
I’ve tried to watch it a few times hoping I would like it but it’s really bad, not funny at all! Also, it’s been done over & over, nothing new about this show at all.
I cannot get into this show. Could it be any more unoriginal? I say bring back Ugly Betty.
Could it be any more unoriginal? Yes. It could. It could be like all the Law & Order spin-offs or all the CSI spin-offs. It could be like NCIS, which isn’t a spin-off but a rip-off of CSI. Or it could be like the NCIS spin-off (think about that for a minute, a spin-0ff of a rip-off). Or it could be part of the new batch of “family comedies” inspired by the success of Modern Family, which itself was kind of unoriginal for taking The Office’s fake documentary moments template. Or it could be like The Office, which was a… Read more »
It’s been done over and over? When? What shows are you referring to? Of all the possible criticisms of Don’t Trust the B, not being original seems way out of left field.
