Best Friends Forever, you never had a chance.
I had no idea what you were about or that you even existed, but saw a free preview on Hulu before the TV premiere and checked it out. Best comedy I've ever seen? No. But I have sometimes found that comedy ensembles take time to hit their stride (glad I gave Community that chance) and to connect with the audience. And, considering BFF was better than some other comedies out there that are succeeding (laugh track comedies and 2 Broke Girls, I'm looking at you), I hoped NBC would give it a chance.
Oh well.
If you never tuned in, BFF was (is?) about 2 best friends (with a truly believable friendship, as I think they are also real life friends?), one who recently split from her husband and another in a serious relationship. The recently split one moves in with her best friend and her boyfriend, and they find a way to make it work in their crazy NYC lives.
I guess we'll never get to see more than a handful of episodes but it's getting burned off sometime at the end of May/beginning of June, so it's still possible to catch it. But it's tough to commit to a show when you know it has no future. I think this one had potential so it's kind of sad to see it go.
So, goodbye Best Friends Forever. I'll tune in to the burn-off so I can see how the season would have gone. Thanks for providing me with some laughs and a portrayal of a good friendship.
