This show is surprisingly funny and entertaining for anyone despite its relatively unknown talent and obscure position on the Oh! cable-network -- targeted at women. Bree Turner, who plays the main character, Marjorie, seems to be maturing since I first caught her in MTV's even lower-budget show, "Undressed".
Not every joke hits the mark, but "Good Girls Don't..." is so nimble and rapid-fire that it generally keeps an amusing momentum going, completely side-stepping the dreadful predictability of network sitcoms. The absence of an insipid laugh-track is a welcome breath of fresh air, allowing the viewer to exercise some attention and judgment in appreciating its gamut of humor that bounces from subtle irony and satire to over-the-top farce, slapstick, and innuendo.
The actors, despite their freshness, generally handle the material very well. Any moments of inauthenticity are easy to overlook since the cast is very attractive. The sexual language and situations are not appropriate for younger viewers.
