Work It!
Chances are, you don't remember this show. It made a short splash from people who love to be outraged, and then died a quick, but painful, death. This show only lasted two episodes. ABC has veritably tried to wipe this thing off of the internet, meaning that I don't get to do my usual pre-review re-watch, but perhaps this style of review, less formal, more fun and experienced based, will be better liked.
To be honest, I'm vaguely relieved. I share my Hulu+ and Netflix account with my parents, and I'm a bit afraid to explain to them what I was doing watching a cross-dressing show in 2012. (I also really don't want to know what Amazon thinks I would like to see if I ordered these two episodes over Amazon Instant.)
At the same time though, I'm disappointed. Because, let's be honest, this show was horrendous. It was terribly bad. But it was like watching "The Car" where even I had to shut up, stop asking questions like "Why don't they just get out of the way?" or in this case: "How the hell did this company not get sued?" and watch the trainwreck.
It was fascinating. I rarely watch TV with my full attention, but I just stared at this, mouth open, gaping. It became almost ironically funny.
To be fair, this is definitely not my kind of show. This is the only cross-dressing comedy I've seen in my life. (How can I live with myself?) I only ended up watching it because I couldn't believe it existed. It fell into "so bad it's good" for me. (Sorry guys, I take responsibility for the next two weeks of your life you'll lose following that link.)
I won't discuss characters, or premises here, because, honestly, it's all secondary. Go watch this TV show, if you can track it down. It's "The Room" of TV Shows. You won't regret the 40 minutes you put into it.
