We Need More Sophie!

Last night's episode of 2 Broke Girls (15th of their 1st season) was about whether Caroline was Max's rock and holding her back.  This is one of my secondary shows, but I could see it becoming a primary one.  It's not so witty that you think to yourself, "How did they come up with that one?" but it is entertaining enough that you do want to see these two struggling, working girls get ahead in life.  The cast is pretty great for a show I'm sure most people don't even bother to watch.  Now with the addition of Sophie (played by Jennifer Coolidge), I think the show might have even more potential.
What I liked about this episode is that Max was given a little more credit for her efforts.  Caroline may be the one with the business savvy, but Max is the one with the talent (mostly at baking cupcakes and having a smart retort in five seconds or less).   Sophie suggests that Caroline is a rock and Max is a balloon who would only fly if she could cut away the dead weight.   Well, it's no shocker that Caroline contests this and later proves that she's just as valuable to the Max-Caroline team as Max is.  We can't have the 2 break up after all--the show is about 2 broke girls.

As usual, there was an abundance of sassy comeback lines from all of the characters, but there are so many that I won't really list anything this time.  Most were only OK, so I don't think they are worth mentioning.  I do think that there is a good chemistry between Sophie and Max in the department of memorable quotes.  I really hope that Sophie becomes a permanent member because I believe that in Sophie's first appearance their back and forth was pretty excellent.  But for the sake of anyone who's never seen the show, I will quote one line from the end:

[Caroline] (seeing Max's unusual face) What? You're being subway creepy.

Let me also say that Earl is a cute, little old man.  You gotta love Garett Morris.  Han, has his moments too, but not in this episode.

The girls are up to over $800 already.  I don't know much about what they need to start a proper business (I'm assuming that they will eventually open a shop), but the cleaning business seems to be helping a lot.  If it means that they get to have some strange situations like this time with the big-sized model and the OD model, I'm all for them taking on this side-job.  It also means that they will definitely have more Sophie scenes in the future, which makes me happy.  Just hope that somehow this show can manage to make it to more than one season.  It's a lot better than some of the other half-assed shows that are on now.
