MONDAY
"2 Broke Girls" — B+
(Multi-camera sitcom; Sept. 19 on CBS)
Starring: Kat Dennings, Beth Behrs
Concept: A trust funder whose fortune is gone and a working-class Brooklynite wait tables at a New York diner. Opposites attract.
Am I hooked? Yes. The actresses — especially the Gwen Stefani-esque Dennings — transcend their types, and the pop-savvy humor has spirit thanks to producer Michael Patrick King from "Sex and the City." After the forced opening minutes, it's the best multi-cam-com of the season.
Alternate title: "Laverne and Surly"
Pictured from left: Beth Behrs, Kat Dennings, and Jonathan Kite.
