Last Wednesday, Comedy Central premiered it's newest original comedy Secret Girlfriend which puts you as the star of the show. Comedy Central obviously has high hopes for this show as it debuted directly after the season premiere of South Park.
The show's format is original and very hip to today's generation. It's shot entirely in first-person point of view and chronicles escapades with your two loyal, sometimes imbecilic buddies (Derek Miller & Michael Blaiklock). In the debut episode we learn that "we" have a crazy on-again/off-again girlfriend named Mandy (Alexis Krause) but we soon meet Jessica (Sara E.R. Fletcher) the girl every guy wants; funny, cool and beautiful. Throughout the show we get several text messages, video chats or YouTube videos to help move along the plot in a creative way. I'll admit the laughs were hard to come by in the first episode, but that should be expected. Most of the time is spent developing characters and the story arcs in the pilot episode, but the amount of beautiful women in the show is a teenage boy's dream. And that's the demographic Comedy Central is aiming for.
I will keep watching for sure. The two buddies in the show are goofy and sometimes funny, the girls are gorgeous and I guarantee the laughs will start coming in droves.

I've now seen all the episodes of My Secret Girlfriend. I'd place Alexis Kraus, who plays Mandy, on the list to win an Emmy for her portrayal of the Ex-Girfriend.
The show is funny, original, creative and engaging. It doesn't go overboard with nudity and sexuality, and it's even fun to hear the censor "beep" out some dialogue (not sure if this is the Network or part of the script).
As you indicated the women are beautiful throughout and the wardrobe budget must be huge for this show.
I really like the format and perspective used to tell the story and develop the plot lines, and you are always the star and most desireable character in the show. Every guy's dream.
