angelorwez18 May 2022It's a warm quirky comedy...
it's not something you can strongly feel about...it's just fun mindless comedy...doesn't take itself seriously...that's what saves it i think..
it's not brilliant comedy...but it definitely will make you laugh...what more do you want?! -
Shopaholic3526 December 2015The show started out awkward at first but after awhile I began to really enjoy it. It's actually really funny. Still a very clichéd sitcom but it works. It's something light and fun with an outrageous side. Besides I cannot wait to see the show play out. After watching one episode I could see where they were heading and the more I watch the more invested I get.
I've got a sneaking suspicion that the success of this show has something to do with the hilarious cast. Emily Osment holds her own as the lead (which completely shocked me), but honestly it's the supporting cast who really make this show. They are all brilliant but the surprise talent is the best friend. Her comedic timing is great and she shines in a group of equally talented actors.
I hope the show continues to get better and better. -
ccalhoun-6169316 September 2018Why did you have to end the show like you did? What happens? Did he say yes? Is Sophia and her b/f getting married too? I need one follow up episode to bring it to a conclusion. If you knew the show was going to end why end it on a cliffhanger? BAD BAD writing!!!

juliforrai3 May 2017I was curious about the viewers' opinion on this show and was honestly amazed to see so many positive ones - so I decided to read them all. If you want to get a realistic picture of whether this show is for you or not, I can recommend bigfootpat's review. Completely share that opinion, allow me to quote from it: "The stereotypes! An over the top gay character, an over the top black woman, everything is blown out of proportions with little subtlety. And that laugh track, it's incredibly annoying! And with unfunny jokes, subpar acting, and stereotypes, the laugh track is the final nail in the coffin of something that's labeled a "sitcom". " Indeed. This show is full of stereotypes, the acting is very forced, the story-line is not at all original and I at least expected a bit of cooking done which may have added some atmosphere (Gabi's a CHEF, for Christ's sake!), but the hilarious thing is: they NEVER show anything what she supposedly does in the kitchen, all you see is that she's got tons of designer dresses you'd never ever wear anywhere near a kitchen/food and she also has designer aprons that go with them! Watched a few episodes when they started to air it in the UK, then - and that says it all - it magically disappeared from the screen after a couple of months... So many great shows got canceled last year. It amazes me that this one's in the 5th season now. It's a very dumb way to waste your time, if you ask me.

DevastatngDiva7 August 2018As a light comedy about nothing serious, it's a great 30 minute escape from the everyday. Each episode is good for a quick laugh or two, and when it's over, you go back to your life with a clean slate.
But, if you really think about it, it's just an adult version of a Disney show. From the silly story line (someone creates a problem and, instead of handling it responsibly, they plot and plan some silly scheme to weasel out of the problem), to the overacting, it follows the Disney formula to a "T." The only difference between this show and "Hannah Montana" or "That's so Raven" are the adult themes and the liberal use of curse words. Thank goodness Emily Osment has done other projects to show that she can actually act. -
joannaloup5 July 2014This seems to be a very nice comedy... i have seen a couple of episodes, they are fun, they are original, it does remind me of some older comedies, but at the same time it is quite refreshing. The acting and directing is good, the writing is nice, the budget is obviously seriously low but however they managed to create something really cute! will be watching for sure ! just hoped they would make these comedy shows last a bit longer than twenty two minutes.. Why do we only get 22 minutes of laughter and always 45 minutes of drama drama drama.. This is frustrating..! Anyway, as I was saying, if you are looking for a nice new comedy series for summer, you should totally check this one out.

First-off, Young & Hungry is a shameless knock-off of 2 Broke Girls but it lacks the sharp edge of 2 Broke Girls. I find myself watching Young & Hungry because it is a harmless, feel-good piece of comedic fluff. The characters are quirky and like-able. The sits of the sit-com are funny.
BUT ...
I have actually worked the jobs depicted in this series (private cook, cleaning staff, etc.) and these jobs SUCK. Often being a private cook means sacrificing your own social life to work split shifts and generally be available on nights, weekends, and any other time the employers are having a social occasion. Add to that an incredible amount of stress b/c I have never met a quirky likable millionaire like the boss on this show.
If I block-out the reality of working as domestic help for the uber-rich ... I can have a few mindless laughs and pretend its all in good fun. I sort of hate myself for liking this show at all ... but until 2 Broke Girls comes out with their new season ... it's all I got. -
A hilarious vessel for Emily Osment (always has been one of my favorites). Emily gets to show herself as the young adult that she is now and Y&H is filled with adult innuendo (as I said - Emily is no kid anymore and the rest of the world is all the better for it).
This group's on-screen chemistry is evident - they are fabulous together and their comedic timing is impeccable. Their characters are each their own people and I can't wait to see what happens to each of them from one week to the next.
I'm glad that they chose to develop Aimee's character as she is definitely able to pull it off. I certainly want to see more about what happens with Sofia. The same for the characters of Rex and Kym. They are all a howl to watch.
The writers need to develop Jonathan's character more if he is to be more prominent in the show, but it's not absolutely necessary. I expect we'll see more of Josh as time passes.
I expect this show to kick off chapter 2 of Emily's career, boost Aimee's into orbit and further validate Rex's and Kym's already successful careers. -
pfisher-736-5624207 December 2014So this stars the other actress from the Hannah Montana show. She's quite likable, but she's a caricature, similar to the Disney show. The gay Asian assistant and the black maid are also caricatures. He's reprising his role in Entourage, and they both do a good low brow job. The male lead is OK, but the least interesting of the bunch. He has an evil, status conscious girlfriend who's actress is pretty good.
The main character and the Zuckerbergesque male lead sleep together in the pilot. It looks like they're destined to be together, but that will have to be postponed for as many seasons as possible if the show isn't cancelled, a la Moonlighting. Three's Company type shenanigans ensue, but slightly more risqué. -
beccaccrum8 September 2018The shows hilarious and I love a lot of the characters (especially Sophia, Alan, and Yolanda), but Gabi is just so selfish in every single episode. She never considers anyone else's feelings and it's just pathetic. Sophia has put up with so much of Gabi's shit, but Gabi doesn't care about Sophia. I honestly feel way worse for Sophia than I do Gabi. I sympathize with her way more. Also, Cooper was way better for Gabi than Josh is so

jmswenson-7522924 March 2018This show is like a modern "I love Lucy". Light and funny. So sad it's been cancelled:(.

jalaguier22 November 2015Barely funny and dull and found myself thinking of something else when I was watching this stupid show.
Why do some American comedies use laugh tracks still? Do they make the sitcoms funnier?
All I know is that this show is so boring that the laugh tracks do not go with the lines.
I couldn't bear to watch the second episode. The script is stupid and predictable i.e. The tech entrepreneur says "I want you to make her say Yes" and the cook answers "I will make her say Yes Yes Yes" and the laugh track roars....
This show is made for people whose sense of humour is not sophisticated or not highly developed enough but it is good for teenagers.....
My favorite is Crazy Ex Girlfriend, now that is what I call a comedy, and it does not use laugh tracks ! -
wyattawood29 July 2019One of my favorite TV shows of all time!! I pray that Netflix never gets rid of this show!

SnoopyStyle2 August 2018Gabi Diamond (Emily Osment) is an aspiring chef desperate for a job and living with roommate Sofia Rodriguez (Aimee Carrero) in San Francisco. The food blogger sleeps with rich tech entrepreneur Josh Kaminski (Jonathan Sadowski) after his proposal to girlfriend gets rejected. He hires her as his personal chef. She joins housekeeper Yolanda (Kym Whitley) and assistant Elliot Park (Rex Lee) as his constant staff.
This is a simple cute girl sitcom. Her roommate is Latina cute. Her boss is nerdy cute. Everybody does cute comedy. It's all broad and wacky and cute. Osment is the perfect tiny blonde for the job. She's definitely cute and tiny and does big wacky cutesy comedy. It is what it is and it's not trying to be what it's not. -
ronneevr10 August 2016I absolutely love this show! In a world full of nothing but crime shows & reality TV, Y&H is a welcome breath of fresh air to let us all relax, laugh, think happy thoughts & believe romance is not dead! It's wonderful to actually be entertained for a change with an upbeat, well written, hysterically presented comedy that gives hope to finding true love while making great friends along the way! The characters are perfectly coordinated with enough fun & friendly tension (even when it tries to be not all that friendly). Who needs any more depressing, violent, boring content on TV? We have enough of that in our world lately. Keep up the great show! Freedom, DON'T take another happy,family-fun show off the air! Television needs a break. Young & Hungry Season 5!!!

nspence0030 August 2018Gabby is selfish and every episode is the same. She messes up and josh forgives her and so does her best friend.

florin-radu-343-90009427 September 2014Best sitcom in many many years, it would be a shame if it is not continued. The main quality for a sitcom is to be credible, to deal with real life. If it concerns hypothetical situations, it becomes artificial and unconvincing. So far, only three sitcoms worked for me: M*A*S*H, Married with Children and Taxi. 'Young and Hungry' is a worthy addition to the pile. It is spontaneous, exhibited and sparkling. You really feel that you are part of the plot, because the plot is tangible enough for you to blend in. Enjoyment, effervescence, wit, it has them all. It just reinvented the sitcom, a genre undermined by ill-fated precedents such as 'Friends' or 'Seinfeld', meant for pea brain viewers. Absolutely brilliant.

toripaige9 June 2020I liked the show for the most part. Gabi never seems to learn her lesson and can be selfish. She screws up every episode and never sees the error in her ways. How can every man be "the one"? My other big issue was Elliott's jokes. His jokes were hurtful and just plain mean, bordering on verbally abusive. The series finale left me with questions and it was unfair they were left unanswered.

jeremyj-307-74753524 July 2018Everyone involved with this show should feel very bad about themselves. Hammy acting, nonsensical plot, and canned laughter.

lockmanbree8 September 2017I love this show even my husband like it. I've watch every season 3 times already I can't wait for the next season. It not only has romance women but it has comedy for men and women. I got so hooked I had a marathon and was up for 36 hours. I will be watching all the seasons again I'm sure. Please don't cancel this show, I want to see more Gabby and even Elliot.

knd36030 July 2014this is my first review so forgive me if i suck at this.
this show is quiet funny, though most of it cliché.after you see the first episode you just cant help but wonder what else they are going to talk about because everything is probably going to center back to the main character sleeping with her boss! overall its funny, quirky n for poor people like me with nothing to do but complain about our lives and our poor decision making lol. the main female character is easily lovable n so is her roommate.i would have casted a different male lead as the current one looks too old as well as not geeky enough for the part.well i would change a few more characters if i could but overall they try their best to make the show look good despite the not so good script writing.
i hope the writers know where they are going with this show before they get canceled. -
jmill80122 October 2021Please make my wife stop watching it. How anyone can make it more than 60 seconds into this poorly written, over acted, laugh-track fueled nonsense is a mystery.

PeachHamBeach27 July 2014THERE WILL BE SPOILERS...YOU WERE WARNED!!!!
Emily Osment is a revelation and a delight as one of the newest faces of prime time comedy, taking on the role of Gabi Diamond, a Po-arse aspiring chef who applies to be the household cook for a self made dot- com millionaire named Josh Kaminski (one of my male harem members, Jonathan Sadowski), a naive and sweet-natured genius who believes he's found his soul mate in West Coast Socialite Caroline Huntington (Mallory Jensen). Against the protests of his longtime publicist and right hand helper Elliot Park (the one and only Rex Lee, who I'm so happy to see since they canned one of the other delightful comedies of recent years, SUBURGATORY), Josh "sort of" hires Gabi after she makes him an gooey- gooey lopsided grilled cheese, and then asks Gabi to please make him a fail safe proposal dinner so that he can make Caroline his wife.
Oh what food porn awaits! And this is AFTER Caroline abruptly tells Josh via phone that she wants to break it off for a while, that things are moving too fast. Translation: I'm a selfish gal...and I've met a guy...and I feel like having a 14 hour ff-a-thon rather than honor my previous plans to have dinner with you. Oblivious to the fact that she has torn Josh's heart out, Caroline makes merry with her temp fling while Gabi agonizes not only about the heartsick Josh, but about the possibility that since the proposal dinner is a bust, so is her job.Both Gabi and Josh live in that most beautiful of all cities, San Francisco, but Gabi lives on the less glitzy side.
Using her telepathic abilities to know what food will comfort Josh, she begins feeding him the sexiest mashed potatoes of all time...Sweet Jesus!!! Frankly, I can't blame either of them for what happens next. It would never have occurred if Caroline hadn't been the biggest flake since the Kellogg's Rooster. Josh was crying and Gabi was upset too. Suffice it to say, that a few too many delicious glasses of cham-pag-NE changed the course of the boss/chef relationship forever. Oh me, the curious perv has so many questions...what did they say to each other? Did they cry some more? Did they both confide that they were lonely and felt empty inside because they felt like people didn't love them for who they really are? My, my, my...this is what they mean by "less is more!"
Next day, Ms. Selfish appears at Josh's door, claiming she was wrong, that her psychologist tells her it's all about how her growing up a spoiled brat has made her crave conflict and challenges. From this moment on, you can see that Caroline treats Josh like an accessory rather than a human being. Would she have fallen for him, the sweetest tech nerd in Creation, if he didn't have the money he has? What draws him to her, and vice versa? The pilot was my favorite episode, followed by the episode guest starring Ashley Tisdale, and now, the fifth episode, in which Gabi attempts to jump start her dating life with a hot little number who lives a few floors down from Josh.
I love each and every character in the show. Yolanda: "I ain't clean-in' up after no horse!" and of course Gabi's roommate Sophia, who works at some bank or law firm. I splattered my screen with lemonade during this: "Yo, Gabi I need pizza...worked up an appetite...Babe...still waiting' on that pizza!"
Oh, and the FOOD! The hog within you will love the food as much as the hyena will love the laughs...those mashed taters, Chinese duck and catfish, salted caramel creme brulee, Scandanavian princess cakes, and holy moly...sriracha jalapeño poppers and Oreo-gasms (what they should be called, right?!)
Something new and wonderful to add to my fave of all time shows: That 70s Show, Big Bang, Suburgatory, Chasing Life and The Fosters. Please let YOUNG & HUNGRY stay with us for a long long time!!!!!!! It's a keeper!
