2 Broke Girls is an American television sitcom created for Warner Bros. Television by Michael Patrick King and Whitney Cummings. It premiered on CBS in the United States on September 19, 2011, during the 2011–12 television season. On March 27, 2013, CBS announced that 2 Broke Girls has been renewed for a third season, to air during the 2013–14 television season. The series is set in the Williamsburg neighborhood of the New York City borough of Brooklyn, United States. Its plot line follows the misadventures of the roommates Max Black (Kat Dennings) and Caroline Channing (Beth Behrs), who are both financially poor, and their efforts to start a cupcake business. The first episode aired at 9:30 pm (E/P) after Two and a Half Men on September 19, 2011. Later episodes followed How I Met Your Mother on Monday nights at 8:30 pm (E/P).
The series chronicles the lives of two waitresses in their mid twenties—Max Black (Kat Dennings), who comes from a poor working-class family, and Caroline Channing (Beth Behrs), who was born rich but is now disgraced and penniless due to her father, Martin Channing, getting caught operating a Bernard Madoff-esque Ponzi scheme—working together at a Brooklyn restaurant. The two become friends and build toward their dream of one day opening a cupcake shop. Among those working with them at the restaurant are their boss, Han Lee (Matthew Moy); Oleg (Jonathan Kite), an upbeat but perverted Ukrainian cook; and Earl (Garrett Morris), a 75-year-old black cashier. Also featured starting late in the first season is their neighbor and part-time boss Sophie (Jennifer Coolidge), a Polish immigrant who runs the housecleaning company Sophie's Choice. During most of the first season Max is also a part-time nanny for the twin babies of Peach Landis (Brooke Lyons), who during the season adopts Caroline's horse Chestnut. At the end of each episode a tally shows how much they have made toward their goal of $25,000 needed to open their business. Early in the second season, Sophie lends the girls $20,000, which is enough for them to start their business. However, the business fails, and in the 18th episode they are forced to give up the lease of their cupcake shop with just enough money to pay off Sophie's loan, resetting the end of episode tally to $1.00.
The series has received a generally positive response since its debut. It was nominated for three 2012 Emmy Awards, winning for Art Direction.

Trama:
Nei bassifondi di Brooklyn c'è una tavola calda, Williamsburg Diner, gestita da personale oltremodo singolare. Tra di loro c'è Max, una cameriera risoluta e sarcastica, che in pratica porta avanti da sola l'intera baracca. La ragazza è un po' disillusa per via della sua condizione sociale, di conseguenza vede la vita con molto cinismo. Tuttavia possiede delle grandi doti culinarie che esprime attraverso la sua specialità, i cupcake, dei tortini che vende con discreto successo all'interno del locale. Frequenti sono i suoi battibecchi con Oleg, il perverso cuoco d'origini ucraine, e col proprietario Han, un timido ed impacciato immigrato coreano; l'unico collega con cui Max va d'accordo è Earl, l'anziano cassiere con la passione della musica.
Una sera, dopo il licenziamento dell'ennesima cameriera sbandata ed irresponsabile, a Max viene affiancata una nuova collega, Caroline, ovvero la figlia caduta in rovina di Martin Channing, un famoso uomo d'affari newyorkese finito in carcere a seguito di un grosso scandalo finanziario. La ex rampolla dell'alta società, maldestra e del tutto incapace nel mestiere, non viene subito presa di buon occhio da Max, che non sopportando i ricchi avanza giudizi prematuri sulla ragazza; col tempo però si ricrede profondamente sul suo conto ed assume un atteggiamento meno freddo nei suoi confronti, ospitandola come coinquilina a casa sua e stabilendo con lei una bizzarra ma sincera amicizia.
Nonostante l'apparenza, Caroline è una ragazza decisamente sveglia, e l'aver frequentato le migliori scuole l'ha dotata di molta inventiva e di uno spiccato senso imprenditoriale. Notando immediatamente la maestrìa culinaria di Max, le propone di sfruttare questa sua dote in modo più proficuo. Dopo un'iniziale esitazione, l'amica s'interessa alla proposta e le due ragazze decidono di diventare socie d'affari: con le mance della tavola calda e la vendita dei cupcake, cercano di mettere insieme quanti più soldi possibili per aprire una pasticceria, affinché entrambe possano riscattarsi dalle loro rispettive situazioni. A darle una mano nei loro progetti arriva inoltre Sophie, la vicina di casa di Max e Caroline, una donna in carriera che le prende in simpatia e le aiuta ad emergere nel difficile mondo degli affari.
