2 Broke Girls is - in one word - idiotic. The show, which airs on CBS and stars Kat Dennings (much better than this) and Beth Behrs (not much better than this) is almost like a parody of a bad sitcom, except it's actually just a bad sitcom. And yet for some unexplainable reason people are tuning into this to such an extent that it's still on the air four years after the first episode crawled out of the hellmouth and declared itself. Worst of all, the show still continues to air after every TV critic on the planet has lambasted it for relying on jokes of both the sexually and racially offensive kind. There's a character in the show who - on Wikipedia, at least - is described with the following text: "He sexually harasses Max and Caroline constantly with inappropriate jokes, innuendo and propositions for sex." Sexually harasses? That's okay, is it? Society has just accepted that detail? Cancel it, wrap it up... whatever you have to do, CBS, let's get this thing off the air, all right? Times have changed and audiences deserve a lot better.
