Review of Work It

This show, like I Hate My Teenage Daughter and I Don't Know How She Does It, is another idea that could have worked fifteen years ago but really shouldn't have made it into this century. I believe that there is a time where this show would have been okay, but that time was at least twenty years ago. Like Tom Hanks in Bosom Buddies, funny sort of. Cory and Shawn in Boy Meets World putting on skirts to write an article about how what it's like to be a girl on a date, funny. Eric and Jack (why there was so much cross-dressing in Boy Meets World I don't know) stuffing their chests and calling themselves Chantel and Lala... well that was hysterical. But that was also in the 90's. A show in 2012 about two unemployed guys who pretend they're women who gets jobs... all that's gonna do is make people mad. This show is flawed in almost every way possible, not just this premise, but the plot of the show. The plot is that by pretending to be women and being around women all day, these men will become better men. Which might be okay if they were real jerks, but they actually don't seem like bad guys to begin with. Sure the married guy didn't understand at first why his wife didn't want to go out with him and his friends but really, there are a lot worse husbands on TV. And the other guy is a womanizer, but if Barney Stinson and Chuck Bass have taught us anything, it's that that's not always the worst thing either. This show is so bad it actually makes you feel sorry for the men portraying these characters who have this gig because it's quite possible that they, like their characters were in desperate need of a job, otherwise why would they be on this show?! This show could have been a mild hit in another time (Bosom Buddies ran for at least a couple years) but that time is not now, and this show is destined to be off TV faster than How to be a Gentlemen.
