History Series / HelloLadies

''Hello Ladies'' is a SitCom starring Creator/StephenMerchant, previously best known for his collaborations with Creator/RickyGervais, such as ''[[Series/TheOfficeUK The Office]]'' and ''Series/{{Extras}}''. Here, Merchant plays Stuart Pritchard, a British freelance web designer who lives in Los Angeles. Christine Woods plays Jessica, an actress who lives in Stuart's guest house who apparently is the only pretty girl in Los Angeles that Stuart hasn't hit on. Merchant's clumsy attempts to pick up girls in the L.A. club scene are the main source of humor. ''Hello Ladies'' premiered on Creator/{{HBO}} in September 2013. It was cancelled after one season, but HBO made TheMovie a year later to tie up storylines.

* SitcomArchNemesis: Jessica's is a super-bitchy and apparently more successful actress, Amelia (Jenny Slate).

* WeddingDay: In "The Wedding" Stuart tries to pick up girls (naturally) at a wedding he's been invited to.

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Stuart's lack of self-esteem combined with his bad habit of objectifying women make him pretty much hopeless at picking up girls. Even when he finds an attractive woman who is interested in him ("The Date") his insecurities lead him to screw it up.

* BritishBrevity: Seven episodes in the first and only season, followed by a TV movie.

* WeddingDay: In "The Wedding" Stuart tries to pick up girls (naturally) at a wedding he's been invited to.

* HollywoodLaw: Hollywood immigration law. When he is nearly caught snorting cocaine in a club's restroom in "Long Beach", a terrified Stuart says that's he's working in the United States on an H-1B visa and he's screwed if he's busted. The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-1B_visa H-1B visa]] is a special work visa given by employers--in other words, the kind of visa Stephen Merchat might use to come to America to make ''Hello Ladies''. It is ''not'' for self-employed small business owners like Stuart.

* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Stuart. His continuing disappointments and humiliations are a direct result of his own flaws--insecurity, narcissism, a superficial view of women.

* SitcomArchNemesis: Jessica's is a super-bitchy and apparently more successful actress Amelia (Jenny Slate).

* TitleDrop: "Hello ladies!" is Stuart's would-be pickup line. (Also the first line of dialogue in the pilot.)

* RealSongThemeSong: "Alone Too Long" by Hall & Oates.

* [[Sitcomic]]: Merchant released a stand-up special called ''Hello Ladies'' in 2011 before this series was developed.
