(Nine episodes watched):

Something about girls and crabs (the kind you would get at Red Lobster)? That's what the opening sequence suggests about this short series for the Spring 2013 season. In fact, it felt like the OP and ED sequences took up more time than the episode itself. Was that guy in the OP supposed to be Steve Jobs? Three girls have a random encounter--one carelessly bumps into another, there's a quick apology, the bumped-into girl is compensated in a strange way--and it's over. We don't even learn their names. What can anybody make of this?

It's basically quick, semi-funny humor. I find myself struggling to remember what happened in the brief episode I watched last night. Oh yeah--one of the girls was playing dead, that was it. It was amusing but hardly LOL funny. Still no explanation of why crabs are stressed so much in the OP sequence; maybe it's just supposed to be absurd. This show will probably be about as intense and demanding as reading a cartoon in the newspaper.
