To be honest, i saw this program once, and i got hooked to it, it´s reat to see a show like this, after friends, its my best tv show.

Teresa Martin Mon, Apr 23, 2007 at 08:05 PM EST

Since the first time I watched this show I have been hooked. This is my favorite show on tv. I will be very upset if it gets cancelled.

Please ABC renew "What About Brian"--my husband and I never miss it and will be so disappointed if it goes away!

Karen Sun, Apr 8, 2007 at 01:45 PM EST

I hope this show is coming back...I love it. This show shows what real life is like. I love all the people and the stories. I like Brian's hair either way, he is too cute.

Another Laurie Sat, Apr 7, 2007 at 07:43 PM EST

I adore this show and have been watching from the first ep. I pray it will return. I must be the only one who likes Barry Watson better with long hair...but no matter, he's still gorgeous with it shorter. This show is one I look forward to each week and I'll miss it very much if they take it off the air. By the way...I think Rosanna is playing early to mid-forties, which is believable to me...she's supposed to be 7 - 10 years older than Brian I think and he's early 30's.

Kristi Wed, Mar 28, 2007 at 12:25 PM EST

Thanks for the write-up Mandi! I love WAB and have since the beginning, so what that it doesn't take hours of research and reading on the internet to fully understand (ie. Lost, heroes, which I also love, but this show is the perfect break from all that), it's very relatable (at times) and there aren't many, if any, other shows out there that focus on this age, so i LOVE it and i'll be sad if it's gone!

Mike Wed, Mar 28, 2007 at 10:04 AM EST

The show has had its ups and downs in its short run. But last night's finale was great. Characters that were annoying have become more likeable.

Paul Wed, Mar 28, 2007 at 12:41 AM EST

i'm 42 and male. and yes i really like WAB. it has a lot of great characters and the theme song rocks!!! Please ABC,Keep it on the air

Val Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 09:53 PM EST

I dont care what anyone thinks, I love what about brian and my husband does to. Ive never missed an episode and if they cancel it, I will be so sad!

Sara Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 04:08 PM EST

I love this show and Nicole is by far my fave character.

jenn Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 03:54 PM EST

thank you ladies for noticing Simon Baker's hotness in "Something New". Love that movie (and watching him in it)!

Love WAB too...it's just fun for a Monday night...

CC Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 03:37 PM EST

Love this write up - you pretty much got my thoughts on this show. I tune into WAB now and again pretty much just becasue there is nothing else on but I have to admit I was pretty into last night's epsidode. I'm sorry to hear that was the finale I was actually looking forward to watching a new episode next week. Also Brian's hair is much much better!

Laurie Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 03:34 PM EST

Thank you luxelarry. I just wasted a half hour of work time reading all of the WAB columns on that site and it was totally worth it. I recommend it to all. Follow the link to read columns on WAb dating back to last year.

WAB FAN Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 03:31 PM EST

I have loved this show since its first episode. It has improved so much this season when the focus left the Adam / Marjorie / Brian triangle. I love all the characters on this show with the exception of Tiffani Theisen's character. I will be very disappointed if ABC doesn't bring back this show.

I've been a faithful watcher since the beginning of this show - even my 14 year old son watches! - and I love it ... I will be very sad if ABC takes it off the air.

luxelarry Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 02:03 PM EST

This blog has had funny "What About Brian" entries all year:

Alicia Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 02:01 PM EST

I used to watch this show, but I stopped caring after I realized that pretty much all of the female characters (save annoying Deena and Nicole) only last five episodes.

Melina Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 01:57 PM EST

I've been watching "What About Brian" since the first episode and love it. My husband hated it at first but now we watch together and he enjoys it very much. Last night's season finale was pretty good and I can't wait till the next season.

mm in dc Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 01:48 PM EST

Been watching this from the beginning and, while I understand why it's stayed under the pop cultural radar, was always sorry it did...hugely underrated, post- Friends dynamic intelligently portrayed, and sweetly fun respite from PRISON BREAK and 24 adrenaline/testosterone mainlining. Krista Allen was an annoying babyvoiced addition and the producers have to watch random casting of overly, almost blandly pretty girls just because they look good - but fortunately the inclusion of "real" pretty women like Deena and Ivy who are slightly unconventional looking but wonderfully winning enough to be sexy make up for the gratuitous Barbie doll hiring. Love the show. Fingers crossed it might just return.

Karen Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 01:37 PM EST

I have no illusions that WAB will be renewed... but I have watched the show since week one. I enjoy the characters and the storyline development. Especially the addition of Jimmy and Ivy... I want an Ivy Day!

sls Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 01:33 PM EST

My husband & I both love What About Brian! Actually, he started watching the show first then got me hooked on it. I think it's a great show and I love Brian, Dave, Deana, Adam, Nic, Jimmy, Ivy..... Last night's show was great and I sincerely hope to see it back next season.

mikedoh Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 01:32 PM EST

i luv WAB

nunya Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 01:21 PM EST

houstonian jen in baltimore - i could not agree more. i'm a black female and i like blair underwood, but DAMN, simon baker is fine in 'something new'. i don't watch 'what about brian', but only b/c i tend to avoid any shows/films featuring former 'saved by the bell' cast members...

Kristen Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 01:10 PM EST

I love this show- I have 3 eps saved on my DVR that I plan to watch in one long marathon. I hope it comes back next year, even if only as a mid-season replacement!

PS Houstonian- I also loved Simon Baker in "Something new".

Tyler D Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 01:08 PM EST

The only reason I'm watching 20-30 minutes of this show is that the producers somehow found a way to cast Stacy Keibler, Tiffani Thiessen, and Krista Allen. Now that they've dropped Krista Allen, I think I'm down to 15-20 minutes. Essentially this show has become the TV-programming equivalent of that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry's organs are playing chess, especially since the quality of this show is about as good as the quality of the acting that Jerry's girlfriend was displaying. I hope Stacy Keibler uses the hiatus to take some more acting classes. If she could even just match the talent level of someone like Jessica Alba, she could at least become passable enough for me to ignore the rough moments. Otherwise I'm not sure this show has anything else going for it (at least for me). I mean she's making Tiffani Thiessen look like Meryl Streep and that shouldn't be possible for someone whose first name ends in an "i."

Susan Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 01:05 PM EST

The first time I watched this show, the first season, the first show, I changed channels and bever watched it again... Until last night. I'll admit my channel surfing stopped when I saw the 3 hot men and 1 cute enough to cuddle playing sweaty basketball but what kept watching was that the show was actually good! How'd that happen? I love Dave and Deena. 1 night and I'm already hooked, I love them. And I love hot men in boa's... well hot straight men in boas who will immediately take them off when I come into a room. My only question... How old is Rosannna Arquette supposed to be? Isn't she close to 50? Please tell me she's not playing 30.. its just wrong.

jenn Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 12:58 PM EST

Awesome write-up Mandi -- I almost spit out my soda laughing.

Anyhow, I think that Stephanie needs to go away forever. Stacy Keibler is a TERRIBLE actress! Not that I am watching this show for acting ability but the others are a little more believable in there characters.

And, Barry Watson is great with the short hair...

Tisa Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 12:28 PM EST

I love the show too. It is funny because everyone expects Brian and Adam to be the hotties but dorky Dave is really the one to make us swoon. He has such a passionate way about him!!

Jan Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 12:15 PM EST

Barry Watson, Timothy Olyphant -- separated at birth??

Jules Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 12:12 PM EST

I've been watching "Brian" since the beginning, mostly because, well let's face it, Monday night tv is a vast wasteland. Much to my surprise, the show grew on my and now that I am over my shame, I can actually admit out loud that I like this show. I really hope it's back next year. Until then, I will shame myself further by watching the Bachelor, another guilty pleasure that I will enjoy in secret. May God have mercy on my soul.

marci beth Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 12:08 PM EST

finally, someone on ew recognizes the value of a show that is just a guilty pleasure. i've loved this show since episode one and admit it proudly. Rock on, Mandi.

David Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 11:59 AM EST

I AM BOYCOTTING EW UNTIL 'AMERICAN IDOL' IS OVER!

DeDe Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 11:56 AM EST

I started watching the show in the middle of season 1, hated it, but decided to come back for season 2. So glad I did. Love Dave! Agree that Brian's hair is better short. Love Jimmy and Ivy. Hope the show comes back. Did I mention that I love Dave?

Houstonian Jen in Baltimore Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 11:43 AM EST

Any entertainment that causes one to ovulate is pretty great in my book (see also: scenes involving Simon Baker in "Something New")

Lori Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 11:33 AM EST

I've been proudly out about loving this show from the beginning. So it's a guilty pleasure. So what? It's fun, the people are pretty, and I get to forget my own troubles for an hour. So sue me.

Jatarheel Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 11:27 AM EST

I have no shame in saying I like the show and loved last night's season (hopefully not series) finale.

Laurie Tue, Mar 27, 2007 at 11:16 AM EST

Mandi, I also want to hate What About Brian, but due to my abhorance to paying for TV, have no other viewing options on Mon night. Thank you for outing our secret society.
