in 2011 CPS struck gold with 2 broke
girls a show about you guessed it 2
broke girls twenty-somethings Max and
Caroline played by kat dennings and Beth
Behrs spent most of the show's six
seasons struggling to make ends meet
while working as servers at a diner in
Brooklyn that is until they tried
earning some serious dough with a
cupcake franchise we all know that
dennings and bears made a phenomenal
team but here are some things you might
not know about two Broke Girls the pitch
while the show eventually landed at CBS
co-creator Michael Patrick King told The
Hollywood Reporter they weren't the only
Network in the game he said there was
interest from Fox CBS and ABC a bidding
war ensued but that didn't mean the
network's didn't want to make some major
changes co-creator Whitney Cummings told
the mag I believe the feedback from Fox
was can it be two broke boys so that
didn't work out
nevertheless the two stuck to their guns
King remembered I didn't see any
hard-working 20 year olds on television
and I especially didn't see any
hard-working female characters but Nina
Tassler then entertainment chairman at
CBS knew two Broke Girls was programming
she just had to have casting chemistry
if you have to work together for six
seasons it's a plus if your co-workers
your best friend and luckily for
dennings and bears they're as close in
real life as they looked on the show
dennings told Entertainment Tonight Beth
and I genuinely love each other and are
best friends in real life and that
probably reads dennings even credited
the show's success to their genuine
friendship and Barris feels the same
about her former co-star dubbing
dennings as her bestie and bae with the
hashtag Bearcat a certain type although
two Broke Girls averaged over 6 million
total viewers in its fifth season the
show had issues mainly with its heavy
reliance on stereotypes the New Yorkers
TV critic Emily Nussbaum called the show
so racist it is less offensive than
baffling in fact three of the four
supporting cast members Jonathan kite
Jennifer Coolidge and Matthew Moy all
played people of ethnic backgrounds
different from their own complete with
phony accents not to mention the great
Garrett Morris
stuck in a one-dimensional role as a
cashier Nussbaum said Morris should
for the limp gags he's fed Emmys and
haters the show may have been a hit but
it definitely had its critics Matthew
Gilbert of the Boston Globe said the
show's jokes were like getting slapped
across the cheeks repeatedly with the
rubber ducky and The Hollywood
Reporter's Tim Goodman initially dubbed
the show a most disappointing new sitcom
of the fall but one co-creator Michael
Patrick King was questioned about the
various problematic elements of the show
up Brock's reported he answered back I
personally am thrilled with everything
we're doing two Broke Girls was
nominated for an Emmy 12 times with one
win and fans were tuning in right to the
very end
138 episodes later despite the show
having maintained decent ratings
throughout its sixth season CBS pulled
the plug after 138 episodes
head of scheduling for CBS Kelly call
told deadline to Brooke girls was a
really good show for us for a very long
time our comedy development this year
was very good and that puts a lot of
pressure on some of your older shows
after the cancellation was announced
dennings and bears tweeted their fans
thanking them and crediting the show
with their lifelong friendship so what
about Max's mom throughout the show
viewers were fed bits and pieces about
Max's estranged mother but thanks to an
abrupt end all hopes of her ever
appearing on the show were dashed and
according to TVLine
the creators of two Broke Girls were in
talks at the time with the woman they
hoped would guest stars Max's mom in
season 7 cher yeah we're totally with
you on all the fields about that where
are they now it's been a while since
dennings and Bears last graced the small
screen together in 2017 but the two are
slated to return just not on the same
show deadline reported dennings was
tapped for an ABC comedy based on the
book how may we hate you and Baris will
be playing the female lead in the comedy
our people for Fox should the shows get
ordered to series we can only hope they
don't air at the same time because who
could ever choose between these talented
ladies they may have moved on to the
next chapter but we'll be team Bearcat
