Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 is an American television sitcom created by Nahnatchka Khan. It was broadcast on ABC between April 11, 2012, and September 6, 2014, comprising two seasons and 26 episodes. Originally a mid-season replacement, the network renewed the series for a second season in May 2012; six episodes from the first season were aired as part of the second, without regard for continuity.

In the story, Krysten Ritter stars as Chloe, an irresponsible party girl who searches for roommates by asking for rent up front and then behaving outrageously until they leave. Her latest roommate, June Colburn (Dreama Walker), proves to be harder to drive away, and the women end up forming an unlikely friendship. The supporting cast includes James Van Der Beek, who portrays a fictionalized version of himself who is a friend of Chloe's.

Plot

The series follows June Colburn as she moves from Indiana to New York City to pursue her dream job—until she finds out that it no longer exists. She ends up moving in with a bon vivant party girl named Chloe. Chloe keeps her apartment by inviting roommates to move in, asking for rent up front, and then behaving outrageously until they leave. June proves more difficult to dislodge than expected, and when June reverses Chloe's latest attempt to eject her in an unexpected fashion, they end up forming an unlikely friendship.

Production and release

The show's former title card, when it was titled Apartment 23

By January 2009, the project was being developed for Fox with the interim title You Can't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23, but was not selected to the 2009 fall contender. ^{[21] [22]} A year later, ABC greenlit the production of a pilot episode. ^[21] In May 2011, the network picked up the project to series under the shortened title Apartment 23. ^[23] The same month, ABC confirmed the series would premiere as a mid-season replacement in the 2011–12 fall season. ^[24] In October, ABC changed back the series name, this time to a bowdlerized version, censoring the word "Bitch" and replaced with "B----". ^[25] Ahead of its television premiere, the series' first two episodes were released in the United States on iTunes, Hulu, Xfinity, and ABC's website, and in Canada on Rogers on Demand and Citytv's website. ^{[26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [ better source needed ]}

On May 11, 2012, ABC renewed the series for a second season. ^{[31] [32]} On May 23, the first season ended its broadcast run; seven episodes were aired, although the initial order consisted of 13 episodes. ^[31] Thus, six episodes were carried over into the following broadcast run, bringing the second season to 19 episodes. ABC elected to air the six remaining episodes out of order, interspersing first and second-season episodes without regard to continuity. As a result, some multi-episode plot arcs (particularly James's appearance on Dancing with the Stars and June's travails at a new job outside the coffee shop) are almost incomprehensibly jumbled in the original broadcast order. For the second season, Ray Ford was upgraded to the main cast, after having recurring appearances in the first season. ^[33]

On January 22, 2013, ABC announced the series' immediate removal from its schedule. ^[34] The following day, the cast confirmed the series' cancellation. ^[35] In February, star Krysten Ritter stated that she believed the remaining eight unaired episodes would be broadcast in the following summer. ^[36] In April, the network confirmed that the eight episodes would be released online on iTunes, Hulu and ABC's website between May 17 and June 2. ^{[37] [38]} In July 2014, it was announced that Logo TV would broadcast the entire series in the correct order, including the eight unaired episodes, beginning July 19. ^[39]

Reception

Critical response

At the first ceremony of the Critics' Choice Television Award, on June 20, 2011, Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 was included among eight of the Most Exciting New Series, voted by television journalists who watched its pilots. ^[40]

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has an approval rating of 88% based on 41 reviews, with an average rating of 6.8/10. The website's general consensus reads, "An odd couple sitcom with a modern twist, Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 is sleeker and smarter than expected, thanks to strong acting and snappy dialogue." ^[41] For the first season, Metacritic calculated an average of 71 out of 100 based on 29 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". ^[42]

The second season has an approval rating of 83% based on 12 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of 7.3/10. The website's general consensus reads, "The unique pairing of Krysten Ritter and Dreama Walker continues to entertain in the second snarky season of Don't Trust the B----, which further hones its comedic voice and snide asides." ^[43]

Due to popularity of the show after its cancellation, attempts to revive the show for another season have been petitioned by fans on petition sites.^{[ citation needed ]}
