"Secret Girlfriend" is one of the most creative ideas since "Arrested Development." Hopefully it will not meet the same shortly lived fate. The idea of the show is that "you" the television viewer, are the perspective of the camera. Occasionally the camera changes to one of the frequent short video vignettes your friends create and post on a YouTube-like website in an apparent attempt to gain popularity for them. The humor is extremely current, intelligently executed, and never gets... for lack of a better work, "stupid," despite the subject matter. The scenes change so much that one feels like they are on a roller coaster for a half-hour ride. The episodes are sometimes funnier on the second viewing, much like classic Monty Python skits. The only downside of Secret Girlfriend is that it is "different." Being different means that the average viewer simply surfing through the channels may not stop to watch, but perhaps the constant beautiful women in nearly every scene will keep them occupied until they realize the genius of the show.
