2 Broke Girls (stylized 2 Broke Girl$) is an American television sitcom that aired on CBS from September 19, 2011, to April 17, 2017. The series was produced for Warner Bros. Television and created by Michael Patrick King and Whitney Cummings. Set in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City, the show's plot follows the lives of best friends Max Black (Kat Dennings) and Caroline Channing (Beth Behrs). Whereas Caroline was raised as the daughter of a billionaire, Max grew up in a poor/lower middle-class lifestyle, resulting in them having different perspectives on life, although together they work in a local diner while attempting to raise funds to start a cupcake business.
The series has received a polarized response from critics and audiences alike. The on-screen chemistry between the show's six leads, especially that of Behrs and Dennings, has been praised, while others have criticized the show's reliance on sexualized, drug-related, and racial humor.[1] The series was nominated for 12 Emmy Awards in various categories over its run, winning an Emmy in 2012 for art direction.[2][3]
The series ran on CBS for six seasons and 138 episodes.[4][5]
