History Series / DontTrustTheBInApartment23

Desperate not to return home to her overbearing Midwestern parents (who keep reminding her of the second mortgage they took out for her education), June meets Chloe (Creator/KrystenRitter), or [[SecondaryCharacterTitle The Bitch in Apartment 23]]. Chloe's glamorous, exciting, inexplicably BFFs with Creator/JamesVanDerBeek--all in all, the perfect roommate...until June learns that Chloe is actually a sex-crazed, alcoholic con-artist with the morals of a pirate who regularly scams naive newcomers into laying down several months' rent before driving them off with her sociopathic antics. But June proves more than capable of holding her own against Chloe, earning her begrudging respect and (maybe) even her friendship.

''Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23'' is a {{Sitcom}} that aired on Creator/{{ABC}}.

Desperate for a place to stay after finding herself rendered homeless, June (Dreama Walker) agrees to live with Chloe (Creator/KrystenRitter), or [[SecondaryCharacterTitle The Bitch in Apartment 23]], and HilarityEnsues. The show premiered on April 11, 2012, taking over the timeslot ''Series/HappyEndings'' occupied after its second season wrapped.

Creator/JamesVanDerBeek announced on twitter on January 22, 2013 that ABC had pulled the series and would not be airing eight episodes already filmed. As he put it, "Translation: We've basically been cancelled."

* BirdsOfAFeather: Chloe and James are both egotistical jerks who enjoy manipulating others for their own amusement. Naturally, they're best friends.

** Chloe briefly allows June to help her find "an appropriate man." The first step is making Chloe more "appropriate," including forcing her to start wear underwear. When Chloe finally gives up, the first thing she does is slip off her panties and heave a sigh of relief: "Oh, thank God, I can ''see'' again."

** Chloe is briefly ScaredStraight into allowing June to help her find "an appropriate man." The first step is making Chloe more "appropriate," including forcing her to start wear underwear. When Chloe finally gives up, the first thing she does is slip off her panties and heave a sigh of relief: "Oh, thank God, I can ''see'' again."

--> '''Eli:''' What are you gonna do, Tedford, flip my pancakes? Hope you have 10-foot long arms!
--> '''Teddy:''' Stop calling me Tedford!
--> '''Eli:''' Stop secretly loving it!

->''"My name is [[NaiveNewcomer June Colburn]]. Since moving to New York, I lost my job, my apartment and my fiancee. Now I'm living with this girl [[ComedicSociopathy Chloe]], who may or may not be a sociopath. Chloe is best friends with the actor [[AdamWesting James Van Der Beek]]. There's this weird girl who lives down the hall, [[StalkerWithACrush Robin]], who's obsessed with Chloe, and [[LovableSexManiac Eli]], the pervert next door."''

* SecondaryCharacterTitle

** This is how people from the midwest feel about ''Series/DawsonsCreek''.

* SpecialGuest: Busy Phillips, [[spoiler: [[Series/SavedByTheBell Mark-Paul Gossealaar]] and [[Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle Frankie Muniz]] in "A Reunion..."]]

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Hilariously deconstructed and subverted. June and Mark finally acknowledge their attraction, only to discover they're sexually incompatible on every possible level. They don't understand just ''why''--they each find the other hot, they truly like one another, and they're both pretty good at sex with other people--but after a second attempt also falls flat, they agree to[[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain resume their previous platonic friendship as if the hook-up never happened.]]

* HateAtFirstSight: Chloe flat-out invokes this trope thirty seconds after meeting June's new friend Stephanie: "Oh! I just realized I hate you."

* RichBitch: Subverted. Chloe definitely has a nice place filled with equally nice furniture, but she only attains all of it after [[MagnificentBastard taking more money than needed from her roommates, keeping their security deposits for herself and purposely driving them out with her behavior, then repeating the process.]]

* TwoferTokenMinority: James' gay black stylist.

* {{Homage}}: In "Shitagi Nashi...", June shows Chloe a comic strip she drew (complete with MarySue versions of herself and a friend) in high school that seems like an homage to ''WebAnimation/TeenGirlSquad''. Also a flashback with June is high school resembling Marni from Film/YouAgain's high school flashback, complete with stringy hair and wearing a mascot costume.

* HateAtFirstSight: Eli and Chloe's friend Teddy are immediately at odds when they meet in "Teddy Trouble." Not even a day after their first encounter, Eli is lobbing croutons at Teddy from his apartment, while Teddy smacks them back at Eli with a spatula.

** In another episode, Chloe briefly attempts to go on the straight and narrow, which results in her wearing panties. When she reverts, she immediately slips them off (in front of James and June), heaves a sigh of relief, and announces "I can breathe again!"

** The real ''People'''s Sexiest Man Alive in "Sexy People..." is never seen and is referred to as "him" or "he". This is likely due to the episode being filmed before the real one was chosen and the producers not wanting to contradict the actual choice for that year, who turned out to be Channing Tatum.

* DumbBlonde: Averted by June, who did, after all, get to Manhattan by getting a decent-paying job in finance.

** June hears a mental verse of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R2pFk7dAZ4 "Good Good"]] whenever she sees an object of lust. (She also hears the same clip when the sight of a baby reminds her that [[MyBiologicalClockIsTicking her biological clock is ticking]].)

* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Chloe is an excellent example, down to being almost a professional [[{{Trickster}} Trickster]]. In "Shitagi Nashi..." Robin tells June that Chloe's liver is superhuman.

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Chloe, though only because she has actual black hair and June provides a pretty strong visual contrast with her fair skin and blonde hair. How trope appropriate Chloe is depends on your perspective of her behavior.

* PersonaNonGrata: According to Chloe, she has been 'excommunicated' from Denmark for refusing sexual advances from the Danish Queen.

** June hears a mental verse of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R2pFk7dAZ4 "Good Good"]] whenever she sees an object of lust. (She also hears the same clip when the sight of a baby reminds her that [[MyBiologicalClockIsTicking her biological clock is ticking]].

* [[HeWhoMustNotBeSeen She Who Must Not Be Seen]]: Mark's horrifically controlling girlfriend Jennifer. We learn a lot about her from Mark's descriptions, but she never appears on screen.

* BigApplesauce
