I've never groaned so much over a television show. I can't believe this sad excuse for a script actually made it to the air.
I'm sorry for the average clichéd, angry review but after watching a full 30 minutes of unrelenting stale comedy, I am left uninspired. I can't imagine a more generic show premise than "She hates him. He hates her. Now they have they have to live together! And they grow to love each other! HOW WACKY!!!!" I feel sick just typing that. I feel sick that there was a writer who couldn't find a more natural transition into one of the most overused plots in television history. The whole show just feels forced like they were trying to hard to jam this show into the formula that they just gave up and said, "SCREW IT! This is taking to long, let's just use every overused 'awww' line ever used and maybe the audience can fill in the blanks." I'm not even mad anymore. I'm just disappointed.
