Well 2BG jumped the shark so the end must be near

Don't forget Sophie, who is no spring chicken, getting pregnant. And Max's hot boyfriend who falls in love with her right away and isn't turned off by her acting so uncouth and her very negative attitude (IRL he would tire of it quickly). I started finding last season a little difficult to watch and this season having to talk myself into doing it but now am definitely done and will be cancelling my season pass after the finale.

I respect your opinions on those topics, but let me add a few rebuttlesfrom my perspective.

Living in the apartment still isn't stupid. They probably pay very little in rent. Simply having money in the bank wouldn't justify moving to a more upscale place at the moment. Usually a small business isn't profitable for at least a year.

A small business takes a very long time to plan, execute and run with success. I don't think it is taking them too long to open it at this point (although I don't know how much time has actually passed since the movie money and decision to open the desert bar.

Again, staying in the current apartment makes sense at the moment. The $250k in the bank is what is funding the desert bar, at least that has been my understanding. In which case, their financial situation has not improved as of yet, so they should stay there, to avoid rent increases, moving expenses and things like deposits. As long as they can keep up with the diner job and paying their usual bills, they shouldn't upset the apple cart. Owning a dessert bar really doesn't qualify for the removal of the "Broke" in the title, not yet at least.

I don't really think that the dynamic has been thrown off too far. I would agree that Caroline is usually the brains of the opperation and usually keeps a level head, whereas Max just goes with the flow of things, while caroline stresses.. I don't think Caroline is the only reason anything good happens to them. She may have pushed Max into pastry school, it was Max that put forth the work (although if I remember, Caroline worked in the office so they got a discount on tuition). They were raised totally different, Carolines family putting emphesis on education. Max does need the push though, it seems she would have been happy to still be in the status quo, living alone and baking at night to sell only a few cupcakes from the diner.

Max has done more good things than just taking in Caroline, but where would Caroline be had it not been for that? She wouldn't be on Wall St. as she has said her name is toxic and she would never get hired. Seems like they just have a give/take friendship.

I'm not convinced the dessert bar is even going to happen, or that it will last. I think Caroline is goin to get hosed once the movie about her life hits theatres. I think it will make her look bad and she will regret ever doing it. She signed a contract, which probably allows them to take creative liberties with her story.

I don't disagree that it should be winding down (maybe one more season), but I have actually liked quite a few episodes from this season.
Sophie being pregnant makes me cringe...it seemed like it was only one or two episodes after she announced the pregnancy, she walked into the diner telling people to check out her "baby bump" with a refrence to being I think 20 weeks along...yet she looked about 8 months along. It shocked me that it was handled that way.

I never finish anyth

The only good thin Max did was take Caroline in the beginning.

Okay, first off, it's a fictional TV show, maybe let's not look too deeply at this. I think that sitcoms are more enjoyable when one doesn't dissect them so much. 2 Broke Girls is neither a reality show nor a documentary.

But, I'll play. About the apartment. It's a cheap apartment in NYC where they are able to keep a pet horse. Not a kitty, not a doggie, a freaking horse! It's been well established that both Caroline and Max love Chestnut. A one-time windfall of $250,000 wouldn't last all that darned long in NYC. Likely, any other place that would allow them to keep Chestnut would cost infinitely more. They'd run through that money fast and eventually lose Chestnut if they moved to a more expensive place that they couldn't sustain.

And as for that $250,000, judging by the total at the end of the most recent show, they've already run through $200,000 renovating their new shop. I'll just accept that rather than dissecting why it would have cost that much. So, they've only got $50,000 left already anyways....

I don't know what the writers have planned, but since the show is called 2 Broke Girls and the whole theme thus far has been that they struggle to have two nickels to rub together most of the time, I suspect something will happen that returns them to being fully broke again soon enough.

But again, 2 Broke Girls is a silly fictional sitcom. Consider just sitting back and enjoying the jokes without worrying about the premise too much. It would be easy to pick this show apart by applying the rules of reality to it but that would take all of the fun out of it. 2 Broke Girls is for fun.

I don't disagree with the points you made, but it was actually Max's cupcake recipe that got the whole ball rolling in the first place. Without that, there would be no cupcake business for Caroline to contribute her business sense to.

Max is the one who set all of this off, but I do agree with you that pretty much everything that followed has been almost completely thanks to Caroline.

I think they've given up on having a coherent story, and have morphed into the 2016 version of Laverne And Shirley. Total slapstick.

Also, I love Jennifer Coolidge, but why the hell does she get applause whenever she appears?? (I have no doubt if I were to scroll through the messages, this has been noted 100 times).

It was jumping the shark about five seconds into the first episode.
