"Friends with Benefits" is a half-hour comedy revolving around a group of twentysomething singles as they navigate the difficult, sometimes rewarding, often confusing world of dating. Loyal and devoted to one another, these friends are never too busy to help a member of the group who might be in need. In fact, their companionship often extends into a more intimate setting - the bedroom.

Ben Lewis (Ryan Hansen, "Party Down") is on the hunt for the perfect woman who meets his impossible set of high standards, while his best friend, Sara Maxwell (Danneel Harris, "One Tree Hill"), a busy young doctor, is just looking for a nice, compatible man to settle down with and raise a family. Ben and Sara have fallen into the habit of turning to each other for moral and physical support as they wait for Mr. and Ms. Right to arrive. Their friend Aaron Greenway (Zach Cregger, "Miss March") a successful tech genius, is not quite sure what to make of Ben and Sara's complicated friendship, but he, along with the smooth ladykiller Julian "Fitz" Fitzgerald (Andre Holland) and the gorgeous, free-spirited Riley Elliott (Jessica Lucas, "Cloverfield"), are all distracted with their own dating trials and tribulations.

Brian Grazer is executive producer for Imagine Television. Ira Ungerleider ("Friends") serves as executive producer and show runner. Also serving as executive producers are David Dobkin ("Wedding Crashers") and Jeff Kleeman. The show was created by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber ("(500) Days of Summer"), who served as writers and executive producers for the pilot. David Dobkin directed the pilot. "Friends With Benefits" is a production of Imagine Television, 20th Century Fox Television, and Big Kid Pictures.

You kind of get the feeling that they like each other and it does mean something but at the beginning of the episode him undressing thinking it was a hook up when she just wanted to chat was amusing. The text message was funny.

Lying about what name the waitress wrote on the napkin was amusing but the girls getting on the same train backfired and Sarah carrying on eating the laced food was asking for trouble

You just knew something would go wrong when Sarah asked Aaron to bid on her at a charity bachelorette auction but Ben accidentally using a suggestive phrase with a co-worker and getting himself accused of sexual harassment was predictable and deserved to get fired

The guys hitting on Lana was wrong but her getting them to do the cleaning was amusing and the doctor scrubbing his arms before and after sex would put you off

Riley was right about Ariel being only after Aaron’s money but the way she got his attention at the pool party was amusing and what Sarah did for her ex-boyfriend Joe was crazy

Well why that women play that sort character but i had a feeling that girl in morning was her daughter . The Hat women was amusing sometimes you really shouldn't take a hat for granted and he learnt the hard way but talking birthmark was crazy. Hooking up grandma was priceless . The ending was how shall i say crazy with the blind man falling down a basement

Yes you could tell she was a gold digger but Riley is a good friend and backup plan was good

Riley helping Fitz become number one on Chicago's most doable bachelor list was amusing but only after she researched the current number one bachelor and Sarah dating the journalist on antidepressants was very challenging

Riley meeting Daniel and quickly falls in love with him was interesting but going to the Amish community was priceless and Ben kissing Sarah in front of her boyfriend and then sleeping with Riley was wrong
