We watched one episode of this and were just immensely entertained. If you don't get cable/satellite, you won't get it. It's on, as the title implies, IFC (Independent Film Channel)?

The titular characters are two girls, roommates I think, who I get the impression do some type of video blogging. They have good banter between them, and got lots of laughs from us. It was sort of a Seinfeldian approach - sort of - except that, to our surprise, there was a song-and-dance production in the middle of the show. Unexpected, creative, and funny. And it wasn't as quite offbeat as Portlandia, which seems to me to be quirky for the sake of being quirky.

We liked the actresses when we formerly saw them on Big Bang Theory. One girl (Garfunkel, I think) was in one episode as Nowicki, the intern physicist, who obsessively kept Sheldon on track on his physics problem. The other one, with one of the best names ever, Kate Micucci, played Raj's "damaged" sorta-girlfriend Lucy. (Too bad that's not her real first name.)

We've just seen one and, despite the somewhat offputting show title (did they intentionally combine names from two songster teams, and if so, why?), we're going to catch it again. Well worth another shot.

We were watching it for the second time, with some chuckle maintenance going on, and then midway into the show, it turned the corner to hilarity. Much enjoyment. It's a keeper. For now.
