Since its debut in 2012, Girls has become of the most critically acclaimed and buzzed about shows on television. TV Guide hails the series as “fearlessly raw,” the Los Angeles Times proclaims it “excruciatingly funny” and the New York Times calls it “a phenomenon.” Created by and starring Lena Dunham, who also executive produced along with Emmy® winner Judd Apatow and Jenni Konner, Girls was the winner of two 2012 Golden Globe Awards for Best Television Series-Musical or Comedy and Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series-Musical or...

Jacob Klein broke the news on HBOWatch of Christopher Abbot’s departure yesterday with  Christopher Abbot (Charlie) Quits Girls Season 3.  Considering Charlie and Marnie were on a path at the end of the second season, destined to bring growth to both characters this was surprising news to fans of the show.  With the abruptness of the news and the filming of the third season beginning this month, what does this mean for Marnie and the rest of the characters of GIRLS?  Is this a good opportunity for the show to bring focus back to the girls, or is the departure of Charlie a loss for...

In an apparent creative dispute with show creator Lena Dunham, Christopher Abbot is leaving HBO’s GIRLS.  The series has just begun filming it’s third season in Brooklyn, NYC this month and reportedly Christopher (Charlie) “didn’t like the direction the show was going in”.  We’re not sure what that means exactly but here is the statement from Christopher’s agent: “[Chris] is grateful for the experience of collaborating with Lena, Judd [Apatow], and the entire ‘Girls’ cast and crew, but right now he’s working on numerous other...

UPDATE: HBO has actually confirmed this already.  But if this was news to you– Celebrate all over again! Ahh, the magic of Twitter.  A world where even a common man or woman can ask the most famous, talented people in the world anything and quite possible get a reply!  Or even a reply that breaks news.  Today an anxious fan tweeted Girls co-creator Judd Apatow with a simple question: “Why aren’t there more episodes of Girls?!” To which Judd replied: “@erikaalaniz: Why doesn’t @girlshbo have more episodes ???? :( @juddapatow”next year there will be...

Love it or hate it, people are talking about Girls. One of the most original and arguably one of the most brilliantly written, shows on television, Lena Dunham and company have caught our attention. Watching the first few episodes of Season 1 was, dare I say, skin crawlingly uncomfortable. As the season progressed, however, the raw artfulness of Lena Dunham’s world began to shine through, overpowering the awkward factor and making me a true believer in the genius of Girls. The second Season was strikingly different. While Season 1 had a serious comedy lean, Season 2 was an emotional...

Though her style can be, ahem, questionable at best, Modcloth has nevertheless taken to Hannah’s wardorbe and decided to start selling a dress based on her affinity for denim. The aptly named “Lena Denim” dress is now available on Modcloth.com for $64.99. And not only the name is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the 26 year old writer/director/actor/producer; the description for the dress reads: “Becoming the voice of your generation – or, perhaps, ‘a’ generation – is all about expressing yourself. Why not let your wardrobe in on the fun?”...

I think that HBO’s Girls is my favorite show. This is a big shocker to me, personally, as after watching the first episode, I really truly hated it. It was incredibly uncomfortable, but strangely fascinating, and like a car crash, I couldn’t bring myself to look away. As we approach the end of the second season, I find myself already mourning the loss of my Sunday nights with Hannah and company. In his March 12 recap of Girls Season 2, episode 9, Jacob Klein posed an interesting question to our readers. “Did Adam rape Natalia?” This is a question that my mind has been...

This Sunday HBO’s girls went there.  Whether you thought the episode was Dark, Graphic or even ‘Boundry Crossing‘ you’ll more than likely never forget some of the moments that Lena Dunham served up this week.  Some are even questioning the writer’s taste at this point (re: the three links above). But darkness issues aside we wanted to highlight Marnie’s cover of the Kanye West single “Stronger”.  Some of you may love the character while others may hate her at the moment but we thought this cover was worth another listen so here it...

On the latest episode of HBO’s girls Adam and Ray are forced to hop on a ferry and head over to Staten Island to return a stolen dog (it’s a long story, as always).  Ray, one of the Girls’ boys who is almost always in a foul mood, ends up dropping some derogatory (yet admittedly quite funny) statements about Staten Island and its residents.  Ken Paulsen of silive.com lays most of them out here: Staten Island dog owner is crazy: Adam stole the dog because a man — who turned out to be from Staten Island — left the dog leashed outside a coffee shop after...

“You know what I’m gonna do from now on, I’m gonna ask people if they’re gay before I have sex with them.” Your not going to find many Baby Boomers singing praises to HBO’s hit new series, ‘Girls.’ The simple truth is that ‘Girls’ is not for everyone. Let me repeat: GIRLS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. It takes a specific taste, a specific knowledge of pop-culture, a specific sense-of-humor to fully comprehend and appreciate this revolutionary series and its witty characters. Executive Producer, Judd Apatow and Writer/Director, Lena Dunham...
