This might just be the worst thing ever to be put on television, I'm not exaggerating.

So apparently someone stole Adam Sandler's screenplay for his next movie and decided it would be better as a TV show. They were wrong.

Work It is about a man named Lee who hasn't had a job in a year. Like every other sitcom, he has a mandatory wife and kid. I guess having the wife made sense, but why the Hell is the kid necessary. She adds absolutely nothing to the "plot". He also has two friends. One of them, named Angel, is Lee's best friend, and ultimately becomes his partner in crime. His other friend, named Brian, is just stupid and shouldn't have been added to this show. Literally all he does is drink beers, and raise his hands in front of him, I know that's kind of a nitpick, put seriously what the f*ck is he doing? So Lee decides that rather than be unemployed and continue to try get a real job in his current gender, he would rather pretend to be a woman to get a job. The main problem I have with this show, is not that he is dressing up as a woman all the time (which is pretty f*cked up), but just how comfortable he and Angel are with this idea. The first scene with Angel in drag, he is having a blast. Also he get's the idea to dress as a woman after his prostate exam, and he came out of that seeming pretty happy. I'm not gonna say anything, but think about it. Also, Work It seems to take place in an alternate universe in which everybody is blind and cant see that this "woman" is clearly a man in drag. But, I digress. So at the job, there is the coworkers, and oh my God, are they annoying. Rebecca Mader, the girl who played Charlotte in Lost, is one of them, and I really hope she gets a nosebleed and dies so I can keep a little bit of respect for her. Seriously Rebecca, first "No Ordinary Family" now this? So, I bet you can guess what happens in the rest of the episode, they do things that women do and they almost get caught a bunch of times. Wow, good job guys.

This show is horrible. It's unfunny, it's disturbing, I've seen instructional videos with better acting, and I'm sure that it's offensive to someone. If you have a brain, you will stay away from this show.

Pretty Funny Show

Warning: Spoilers
OK, there are so many movies out there where men disguise themselves as women for whatever reason. such as to see their kids, to get an acting job, fbi agents going undercover, to get a good job or to hide from the mob. but there has never been an actual TV show with that plot line. So i was interesting in seeing how they did it with this show and it looks pretty promising. They only just released the pilot episode and it centers on 2 unemployed best friends who dress up as women to take jobs at an all womens drug place since they need jobs and wont hire any men. the first episode was actually really funny and i cant wait to see more of the crazy situations these men dressed as women get into.its filled with good natured humor and i hope this show lasts a while. i would give it a 7 out of 10 because its a lot better than most of the crap on television today.
