2 Broke Girls

Season 1

One's street-smart and working-class born; the other's book smart and nouveau bankrupt. Together, unlikely roommates and unlikelier friends Max and Caroline are two broke girls waiting tables in a Brooklyn diner while trying to save $250,000 to start a cupcake business. It won't be easy, but the pair's outrageous saucy humor and bossoming friendship make chasing the American dream a priceless adventure.
