It's 8 p.m. You hear a laugh track. Oh, and there are stereotypes? Yep — you're watching a sitcom. Maisie and her roommates try to figure out what she'll do when she's confronted with an incredibly first world problem. Think: My diamond shoes are too tight.

00:00She's so likable, relatable, clumsy and adorable. Not looking for love, but she stumbles upon it.
00:05This is the real life of a rom-com protagonist.
00:08Roomies was filmed in front of a live studio audience.
00:12Oh, you think you're better than me? No, you work at the nail buffing station at the mall and you're
00:1630.
00:17Delete this number!
00:20Girl, what's wrong? Do you make chambray with denim?
00:23No. Was your basic tea basic? No. Did a girl die in your vintage dress? No.
00:28No. Did you pronounce espadrille wrong? No, espadrille.
00:32Hey, why'd you turn it off? They were just about to introduce the sassy roommates.
00:36I like the funny one. I like the well-dressed one.
00:38I don't know what to do, all right? My best friend from college is getting married.
00:42Oh, let me guess. The fiance once hit on you, so you've got to go dramatically stop the wedding.
00:47That happened one time, Judy. Once. Then what's wrong?
00:53It's just that the wedding is in Iceland, and I'm super broke. I mean, I can't afford a ticket,
00:58and she'll be crushed. I don't know what to do.
01:00Let me tell you guys a story. Last spring, I wanted to buy a Lanvin jumpsuit,
01:04but my bank account was not as fabulous as I was. So I called my dad, but he said I
01:09didn't need a third
01:10Lanvin jumpsuit, so instead I just didn't go home for Thanksgiving.
01:15You're right, CM. Yeah, I can't afford the ticket. I just won't go.
01:19Wait, what? I was just telling a story.
01:21And it doesn't help that I have no credit ever since renting out the top of the Empire State
01:24Building to propose to Jonah. Oh my god, Jonah! Whatever happened to you two?
01:30Oh, he died. Nice.
01:34Okay, how about this? You should donate your eggs online. We'll call it Maisie's Fertility.
01:39All the genetic benefits, and none of the emotional baggage. You have a lot of baggage.
01:44Very funny, but not helpful. Thank you for saying I'm funny. You are.
01:49Where I come from, we say the wedding is the bride's big day.
01:53Okay, but Denise, that's also a saying here, though.
01:56So, um, where exactly are you from? Where I come from, we don't ask people where they're from.
02:02Uh, her accent just changed, right? Where I come from, we have a saying,
02:08where I wouldn't be the jewelry.
02:11Okay, how about this? I'll donate my eggs online. I've always wanted to be an absentee mom.
02:17You can't be serious.
02:19I never am.
02:21Girl, I know what's going to make us all feel better. Let's go shopping!
02:26No, that's like the least helpful. Okay, you guys are just like one thing, you know?
02:32Who wants chamosas?
02:33What? No, guys, please, focus, help me.
02:36We really do want to help you, so guys, let's...
02:40Rob a shirt!
02:41We need a blanket!
02:42No.
02:44Come on, we can do this.
02:46All right, we're going to help Maisie by...
02:49Making a big stew!
02:51That's no, that's...
02:52Okay, guys, we got this, okay?
02:56We're going to help Maisie by...
03:00I'm worried I'm not a real person!
03:02I'm from Philadelphia.
03:03Guys, no, you know what? I've made a decision.
03:06I'm not going to go to Iceland, okay?
03:08I can't afford it, and I've been to Bjork's first two weddings anyway, so...
03:14Bjork?
03:15Bjork?
03:15Bjork sounds like fork?
03:18I never realized that!
03:20It sounds just like fork!
03:22Oh my god, Judy!
