Randy Walsh was the last of Max Black’s love interests on the television series 2 Broke Girls. I liked him more or less, but not as much as the show writers probably intended. He is the classic older (but young-ish) gentleman with conventional good looks, almost like a soap opera doctor. Honestly, that made him a little boring in my opinion.

If I remember correctly, Max and Randy met by chance. I think it happened because Caroline was trying to set up some kind of romantic event, and Max ended up getting infatuated with him almost immediately. It also helps that he was a fairly wealthy lawyer working mainly out of the Los Angeles, California area, which is very far from where she lives in New York.

They have a decent romantic relationship and chemistry, though I cannot remember all their ups and downs in detail. Eventually, they do break up. I know long distance was a major factor in that. I would not have taken the show seriously if a character as grounded and smart as Max Black believed long distance dating would actually work.

Cut to the very last episode, and Randy shows up at her new bar looking for a chance to talk. The series finale did not sneak up on me, so I knew exactly what was about to happen. Kat Dennings did not wear a dress like that just to film another regular episode, so that much was obvious.

He asks Max to marry him, and she surprisingly agrees very quickly. It still blows my mind a bit, because I cannot think of many real situations where a couple goes from broken up to suddenly engaged in such a short span of time. I guess that is the difference between television and reality. I was mostly happy for her, but it still felt a little anticlimactic. I think the showrunners originally planned for more seasons and had to tie up loose ends quickly, which is probably why it felt that way.
