    Off Centre has to be one of, if not the Funniest Comedies I have ever seen... You Know!All the characters have a quirkiness about them... especially John Cho's character Chau, a Vietnamese restaurant worker / owner. The other characters are Euan an English stud, Mike an American dork (with principles) who roomed together at Oxford. As well as Status Quo an extremely sensitive and cultured gangster rapper (the mix is extremely funny). Besides the 4 guys there is the one girl who goes out with Mike but adds to the humour. There are also a mix of famous extras from Carmen Electra to Eugene Levy to Jason Biggs to Shannon Elizabeth as well as some characters who moved onto Heroes.This show gives laughters from beginning to end and after the first couple of episodes, once you relate to the characters, you are hooked. The writers did an amazing job in finding the exact humour in each character and the actors perform them to a T (especailly John Cho). The story line / lines usually surround the premise that Euan is a stub and gets lots of girls while Mike and Chau do not. However, within this premise there are many sub stories that are just so strange and weird and that's what makes it extremely funny!It is a pity that WB cancelled the show and didn't let them finish their 2nd season... what a waste - WB could have had high ratings, entered a new market for comedy or sold the show to another network, but apart from being their loss... it was ours too.

    It's a real shame that this show didn't last for more seasons. I mean, it had everything to become a long running sitcom. It had great acting, inventive and edgy jokes, great cast, and great chemistry between the main characters.Eddie Kaye Thomas demonstrated he has great comedic skills; he's hilarious! and his "serious guy" image fits perfect for his role. Sean Maguire in my opinion steals the show as the stud and fun guy. He's great and hilarious! Lauren Stamile is hot as hell and delivers a funny performance. She always seemed to be having fun with her role. She's very sexy and her character fits perfect for her. But John Cho is the best about the show. He's naturally hilarious and his comedic skills are very diverse. He made the show.I really liked this sitcom and I wonder why it didn't last for more. Sure, it relied most of it's creativeness on sex jokes and some sexy references but believe me, the jokes were very clever and well acted. Underrated show that deserved more chances... I watched it on Mexican t.v. at 1:30 a.m. Shame it isn't on syndication.

    Now, I have a very negative view of sitcoms. ESPECIALLY WB sitcoms! I stopped watching that network a long time ago. But I happened to be flipping through the channels one night and stumbled upon this show. I liked Eddie Kaye Thomas in the "American Pie" movies and think he's a fine, up-and-coming actor, so I figured I'll watch for a few minutes and when the jokes get dull I'll change the channel. Well, I really liked this show and couldn't change the channel! The show was created by the "American Pie" writers themselves, Paul and Chris Weitz, and the talent definitely shows. In addition to Eddie Kaye, as part of the "AP" alumni, there's John Cho who some may remember as the MILF guy. He is a very talented performer and he is absolutely hilarious on this show! I hope he gets more starring roles like this. The humor is quite puerile and aimed at a teen audience, but it never gets out of hand, and I get a lot of laughs out of this show and this is one WB sitcom that I'll probably watch on a regular basis. My score: 7 (out of 10)
