How Beth Behrs And Kat Dennings Really Feel About 2 Broke Girls’ Controversial Reputation
There are feel-good sitcoms like Friends, hilarious and sarcastic shows like Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm… and then there is a series like 2 Broke Girls. When it premiered in 2011, it quickly became known as a unique and slightly bitter take on the classic coming-of-age story.
Beth Behrs and Kat Dennings have been friends for a long time now, which is reflected in how well the characters got along and bonded in every scene. But even though 2 Broke Girls has a large fanbase and aired for six seasons, there are many people who aren’t so sure about the often inappropriate sitcom. Beth Behrs is always ready for a reboot, but does that mean that she is fine with the things that people say about the show that made her famous? Here’s what Beth Behrs and Kat Dennings really think about 2 Broke Girls.
What Did Beth Behrs Say About 2 Broke Girls?
Whenever Beth Behrs spoke about 2 Broke Girls, she sounded happy to work on the sitcom, and she didn’t have a negative view of the show at all.
In a 2012 interview with TV Line, Behrs talked about 2 Broke Girls and how surprised she was that the sitcom was able to feature the plotlines that it did.
When people watched season 1 of 2 Broke Girls, they called the jokes too dirty and said that the portrayal of Matthew Moy and Jonathan Kite’s characters Han and Oleg were racist. When asked by TV Line about this, Behrs said:
“Even in the midst of all of that last year, Kat and I were committed to making people laugh. We love going to work every day and doing our job, because we believe in the show and the characters so much. It’s nice to know that the first-season pressure is over. Last year, premiering and not knowing if we would be on the air next week…. It’s nice not to have that pressure.”
When asked about whether the jokes on the show would still be dirty in season 2, Behrs told TV Line, “I would venture to say yes. I mean, they let us get away with a lot last year, but so far this year I’ve been shocked by some of the stuff we’re allowed to do.”
She continued, “We’ve shot six [episodes] so far and they’re some of the most hilarious, shocking, wonderful ones we’ve had. It’s going to be a really good season.”
What is 2 Broke Girls about and what are some of the main storylines?
In 2012, Beth Behrs talked about the negative feedback that some people had for 2 Broke Girls in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. She said that was trying to ignore it and she still felt good about the series that she was making.
Behrs said, “I’m such a fan of our writing staff, and everything they write is from a place of truth within what the characters are going through in the moment. I’ve never once felt like anything has been out of [place] — even when it’s a really dirty joke or something. t’s still coming from a true place… We don’t really pay attention to [criticism] on set. People are always going to have a problem with something.”
