disgusting, overrated, pointless

Absolutely brilliant

A lot of fun.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Dharma Freedom Finkelstein (Jenna Elfman) comes from hippie parents, Larry Finkelstein (Alan Rachins) and Abby O'Neil (Mimi Kennedy). Greg Clifford Montgomery (Thomas Gibson) comes from rich conservative parents, Kitty (Susan Sullivan) and Edward Montgomery (Mitchell Ryan). Dharma and Greg met as children riding on the NY subway. They meet again on the San Francisco subway. They go out on a date and get married in Vegas before the date ends. Greg works with his sleazy friend Pete Cavanaugh (Joel Murray) in the DA office. Dharma often goes out with her wild neighbor Jane (Shae D'lyn) with fake accents. Greg moves in with Dharma and her dog Stinky and Stinky's dog Nuncio. Celia is the Montgomery maid. Marci, Claire, and Susan are some of the teachers at the alternative learning co-op. Marlene is the grumpy legal secretary. Donald is the nerdy neighbor and George is the dead Indian.The first season is simply hilarious. Jenna Elfman was a revelation at the time. She's a wacky flighty giraffe. Thomas Gibson is a great foil. The parents are great. Jane and Pete are terrific sidekicks. The show is set up to run on that formula for many years. The first three episodes of the second season takes a huge swing with Dharma and Greg adopting the cashier girl's baby. It may be commendable but it's too big of a swing. It's too serious and throws the show off balance. It's a move that should be done only when a show gets stale or builds up a reserve of audience patience. The third season has Greg quitting his job. It changes the couple subtly and changes the dynamics of the show. Even the elevator stops at the right place and Greg loses his workplace. It takes the rest of the season to reconstitute his workplace with Pete and Marlene. The forth season starts with another dark story of a miscarriage scare. The series works brilliantly as a wacky comedy but Chuck Lorre seems intent on peppering it with some darker material. Dharma's fleeting kiss with college professor Charlie is the last straw. That damages the heart of the show which is the love between Dharma and Greg. Even Lorre's vanity card mentions the declining ratings. The fourth season ends with an ill-fitting cliffhanger. The ratings continued to plummet for the fifth and last season and the end was inevitable.

If you are a fan of romance genre then you are in for a big treat.I recently started watching this series when i found out it was one of Chuck lorre production. Considering his success in TV comedies i decided to try it out and i immediately fell in love with Dharma & Greg.Just finished the first season and started the second season i couldn't stop myself and i just had to write a well deserved review though i am poor writer.The series has a well adjusted script and scenarios to complement the two completely opposite characters Dharma & Greg. Dharma with her carefree and quirky behavior charms you instantly from the get go and can't help but fall in love with her as the series progresses. And Greg, a totally uptight lawyer with his deep baritone voice just seduces you and suck you into a dreamlike state. I could totally watch this show just to hear his voice. And together as a couple, Dharma & Greg makes a great chemistry that seems to go on and on and makes you wish you were in a great relationship yourself. And there are the in-laws who are totally a world apart which only makes for a greater mix.I can't believe i have been existing without ever watching this great show for a long time. I would recommend this to all the romance freaks out there.A Great show and definitely makes it in my favorite list.

This show is what gives sitcoms their stigma. It's not funny, not clever...if you beg to disagree, look at the "Memorable Quotes" section of IMDb for this monstrosity. They're not very memorable, but they're somewhat painful.When this show comes on, I literally wince. A friend of mine loved it, so I've tried watching it a couple times. I didn't laugh, but I did cringe. Jenna Elfman just isn't funny. Her on-screen husband is bland. Jokes fall flat, although the poor writing never gave them any boost off the ground to begin with.If you spent your childhood eating lead paint chips, this show will crack you up. Otherwise, you'll search for the humor and fail - just as this show has failed to create any sort of unique style or hilarity.If you want clever and funny, check out Arrested Development. Don't let this train wreck of a show, Dharma and Greg, sit on your screen for more than a minute.

This is a potentially clever idea completely wasted: young, wild hippie chick marries nice, staid, young Republican lawyer. Their styles clash, their parents clash. Dharma's kooky parents, as written, are a ridiculous insult to freethinkers everywhere-why are hippies always shown as goofy vegans who build their own furniture and recite mantras every hour of the day? Why is Dharma, the hippie kook, so incredibly impractical and air-headed? Oh-I forgot, she's the hippieeeeeee! Why is her stuffy hubby so very stuffy (and so good looking--an odd combination-only in Hollywood, friends!) And, last but not least, why are Greg's stuffy (and very rich) parents so selfish, and in her mother's case, so evil. I know, it's because rich people are evil and stuffy-that's how they got to be rich, of course (plus, having a creepy fake British accent does't hurt either-only in some grade Z hack writer's dreams.) It's all a terrible shame, for all its faults, its still a watchable show-the acting (especially by the older players) is more than good, the ideas are interesting, if not terribly original. If it weren't for that ghastly writing........My scores (10 is best) Acting 8 Idea 6 Writing 1 (I'm still thinking about this one).
