Too much of everything

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I liked season 1 and part of season 2 a little better. Let me just give some bits and parts of the show that made it lose a lot of cool points.Joan's behavior was completely rotten towards William when they returned from New York, and she was a bit immature, trying to play games, setting him up with both Monica and the other girl. Those that watched the show avidly saw her conduct towards him.She was actually jealous of Toni when Toni was about to get married. What was that all about? I thought they were true friends. She took out her anger on Ellis, and later cheated on him and lied to him. She was an extremely stink girlfriend. A lying, cheating, jealous, immature fool. Ellis was never that great anyway. Their union, as many other unions on this show, should have never happened.Maya's conduct was similar, especially when she was William's assistant, and even after she was rightly fired. The episode where Reverend Al Sharpton guest starred made me cuss. William asked her to do one thing, she did something else, and made a spectacle of herself in front of the Reverend. She failed to remember that she was the one who was rude and inefficient, and tried to make William out to be the bad guy. She was an ingrate to both William and Joan. The whole ghetto, sassy act was not cute and not cool. She always felt she could do what she wanted when she wanted where she wanted.She also wanted to make Darnell miserable after they broke up, calling him over to pick fights with him Wasn't she the one who cheated? Her friend also acted like a total jerk towards the father of her own children when he came to pick up the kids.Did Lynn say she wanted to burn down Joan's house after she was kicked out? Did she also want to do the same after Toni fired her as her assistant at her new real estate office? That was supposed to be funny? Don't even get me started on Toni Chlamydia Childs and Monica the Control Freak.There is so little respect for one another that I sometimes question the friendships. The writer of this show is another writer I wish I could talk to face to face. If there is anything that I am not understanding, then she can show me. I want to go through episode by episode and drill her.

I was resistant to the show at first because I was overwhelmed with shows like Moesha, the Parkers, and I didn't like the way they portrayed black people. But This show is different. These women and especially Reggie Hayes show strong successful Black people who worked their way up to their positions. You can see a bit of your self in all the characters, and William is non stop funny as a momma-loving, republican, success oriented lawyer.There are other characters that you learn to enjoy, but the friendships between these women is stronger than anything thrown at them; including man troubles.

Finally, there is a sitcom that allows people to see that we as black females do and can have a productive lifestyles. It is funny, refreshing and the women are attractive. I think all the women on this show are beautiful and I just want to thank them and hope that they continue to be a part of my Monday evening line up, that I love to watch. I pray that they do have a new and wonderful season in the fall. We need more shows like this, I really appreciate the show, if I am not home to watch, I tape it. Maya oh hell yea, and Toni and perhaps she could give her little husband a little more time. My favorite Joan and her freeloading buddy with the "degrees" are a joy to watch. I love William too, and I want to wish you all much love and thank you for your show. You have our support and hope that you can continue to be a blessing to the black community.

If anyone knows anything about Girlfriends going to DVD,please let me know.I love that show,Maya is my favorite,and I really would love to but all the seasons.Also does anyone know if this will be the last season,I hope not cause Girlfriends is one of the best black shows out there.I have been a fan since day one,I go to there tapings and everything,so if anyone have any information please let me know I will continue to check back.And maybe if enough people write to Upn we can get Girlfriends on DVD,that would be a great gift at Christmas time.Oh and by the way my all time favorite Girlfriend's line is!Now can yall Bitches call my husband and tell him I'm pregnant.
