list 20 reasons why not to watch this show (before even seeing it)


Reason 1: The title is ludicrous.

reply

Reason 2: It stars Heather Graham
Reason 3: The plot is boring
Reason 4: Plot synopsis reminds me of a stupid "My Name Is Earl"
Reason 5: Sex and the City rip-off, except it's on network TV
Reason 6: It stars Heather Graham
Reason 7: Because I've already watched an episode of Stacked and it filled by stupid-bring-back-my-career sitcom quota
Reason 8: Arrested Development got cancelled and this crap was birthed
Reason 9: Voice-overs
Reason 10: It stars HEATHER GRAHAM...I'm not watching Boogie Nights, I don't need to see her.

Okay, there's 2 through 10. Anyone got some more?

reply

Reason 11: It has that crappy "Jake in Progress" vibe.

Reason 12: Depressing not funny Ally McBeal type

Reason 14. The show started off bad. Bad press and all. I didn't like it all and I love John Stamos too but I have also disliked Jake in Progress since season 1. I just can't get into either of these please cancel them.

16. You guys need to get a life

17. Her coworker Cho is a blatant rip off of Ling from "The Ally McBeal Show".
18. The show isn't funny (and I like the stars, so I am not biased).

reply

19. In this week's episode, it was implied that if a guy doesn't want to make out with Heather, he must be either gay or mormon. I'm sure some guys could think of other possible reasons if she asked them, which she didn't. Mormons and gays may find this episode offensive too. Who's next!

20. Because you lack an open mind...

this show is great, why come on here and post if you don't like it? just don't even comment

reply

REASON # whatever - it was on HBO already and it is now on TBS and it was done better and it is called SEX IN THE CITY.

#25. The network designated it as hip.

reply

All of the above but don't worry - it already got pulled. Not new news, I know, but it felt soooo good to say it again.

They post reasons to not watch it so people who haven't seen it yet can save time out of their day doing something productive instead of watching a really terrible show. Thanks guys. I won't watch it.

=o)

but if you will notice, they themselves had not even watched it when they started posting. Look at the title of the post.
