#SaveSelfie should be trending on Twitter right now.
Instead, most Americans are glad that Selfie was cancelled. It sounds dumb. Selfie. Who names a show Selfie?
Well, sometimes the most unfortunately named shows (Trophy Wife, Cougar Town) are actually really good shows. Selfie started out as just a so-so pilot, and transformed quickly into a must watch comedy and the best new comedy of the season.
Yes, I’m officially saying that Selfie is better than Black-ish, Mulaney, The McCarthys, Bad Judge, A To Z, and Cristela.
Selfie deserved better than getting the axe just a few episodes into its freshman run, after being saddled with Manhattan Love Story, and being expected to open up the night for ABC.
I’m not alone either. Other entertainment websites from TV Line to Entertainment Weekly have been mourning the loss of the funniest show on TV, with Karen Gillan recently being called the Performer Of The Week by TV Line.
What have you been missing? A show with two perfect leads, who have the kind of chemistry you can’t fake, and are slowly building the kind of will-they-or-won’t-they relationship that gets people to watch for season after season.
Selfie is still airing, and has all aired episodes available on Hulu. I challenge you to watch a few episodes and not be charmed by how quickly Selfie will pull you in.
Trust me. I’m as surprised as you. I did NOT expect Selfie to be my favorite new sitcom, but it is.
