Product Description Meet Jennifer, a documentary filmmaker with a vivid fantasy life and a floundering career. Jennifer wants to find Ms. Right but first she must navigate the rules of lesbian life, most of which she learns the hard way. Fortunately, her friends are there to help: Sam, a sexy commitment phobe who flips women faster than real estate; Chris and Kris, a lesbian couple expanding both their pet accessory business and their family; and Crutch, a young musician who wants to be taken seriously but still has some growing up to do. Surviving singlehood, couplehood and each other has never looked quite like this. .com Six half-hour episodes of Exes and Ohs fly right by in this clever show's first season. Directed by Lee Friedlander, Exes and Ohs humor is a careful blend of satire and sincerity, as mini-dramas in each saga mock elucidate the do's and don'ts of lesbian social and romantic codes. Each of the characters, based on clichéd "lesbian types," explode the clichés as the characters become rounder. The episodes are "hosted" by documentary filmmaker, Jennifer (Michelle Paradise), who periodically breaks out of character to describe the "rules" of lesbianism, as she learns them. Her best friend and former lover, Sam (Marnie Alton), is a free-spirited, sexy bombshell that provides a foil to Jennifer's tendencies to over-think creative work and relationships. The main story concerns Jennifer's traumatic breakup with Sienna (Darby Stanchfield), and Sam's efforts to get Jennifer dating again. Their network of friends, always gathering at the Beever Café, include Kris (Angela Featherstone) and Chris (Megan Cavanaugh), women in matching outfits who run a pet supply and adoption company who yearn for real motherhood, and Crutch (Heather Matarazzo), the budding Ani DiFranco wannabe. Subtle teasing happens to show these womens' acute awareness of the clichés surrounding them. To start, in "There Must Be Rules," Sienna has left Jennifer for their couple's therapist. Instead of chiding Sienna for this, Jennifer claims she is destined to become the new couples' best friend, because lesbian exes are above anger and jealousy. In "Cutthroat," Jennifer and Sam feud over a hot billiards player at the local bar, while Crutch gets a new guitar and writes Indigo Girls rip-off tunes to everyone's chagrin. In "Pole Dancing and Other Forms of Therapy," Jennifer discovers therapeutic stress relief in a pole-dancing self-help workshop. Later episodes tackle deeper issues, so that by "What Goes Around," Sam and Jennifer grapple with commitment avoidance, Kris and Chris consider how to get pregnant, and Crutch graduates to role-model status in her community. Since some scenes get overly psychological and borderline corny, it is refreshing to have Sam constantly reminding her lady friends that sometimes women need to stop with the sensitive analysis to "just get laid." Maybe the second season will have more spicy romance.--Trinie Dalton

something I can relate to!
It's actually written by a lesbian. No lesbians are killed or go crazy, no straight women playing lesbians are fired, no lesbian love newbies are running to men to learn how to please women, no "bisexuals" kissing girls during sweeps before running back to their men and women who wear clothes you'd might like to wear! At last!! Something lesbians can love! Nice relatable stories and characters w/o over the top drama that makes me hate myself for watching simply because I want to see something portrayed about my community.

2 only because it has lesbian content
The only reason i kept watching it was because it had lesbian content... other than that it's rather painful viewing. Don't understand why those other people who wrote amazon reviews loved it so much! The lead character is annoying, the script is forced, the sets ugly, the jokes ...heavy sigh. need i go on.

Since I've already seen it when it aired...BTW: When the hell is the 2nd season starting?!
I love this show, I had to buy it right up. The struggles of Jen&Sam sometimes has an underlying (Can you say TiBette? Very good, indeed) "I still am in-love with you, but you have these issues that keep us so close yet so far apart" makes the show worth watching over and over again.I am (The L Word) Bette/Tina Shipper. And (Exes&Ohs) Sam/Jen Shipper, also. So, if the people behind this show is reading this? I represent a multitude of others...who just aren't writing their own reviews.

Fun, a little sexy, quirky too; a tamer, less glamerous version of L Word.
These women are more on the real side of L Word; the quality of filming is something less than the big budget L Word, but the story lines are more real. Lifestyle that we can mostly relate to, without the Hollywood non-reality glitz. The actresses are mostly believable, but the couple with the long term commitment is just too sappy and silly. Not enough hot, sexy scenes!! I longed for some of that Hollywood drama!! If you're going to make a "real" lesbian community drama, at least make it extreme in one or two situations...and make at least ONE of them a huge problem instead of a loveable annoyance! Get them drunk and show it, get them jealous and show it, if you want to make it real, MAKE IT REAL! All in all, not too bad and a nice diversion series. Maybe there will be a saeason 2 and they will improve on the "reality" lesbian theme.
F**1
If your looking for comedy that sweet and short!
I thought this series was funny, sweet and short. Didn't find any of the characeter eye candy but for comedy relief I liked it!!
