Are you kidding me?

While hilarious shows with potential from up and coming comedic talent wade through the morass of television executives never to get a second season, this pile of dog[poop] gets renewed like that?

Are you kidding me, NBC? Anyone else feel the same way? The show isn't even maintaining an audience, dropping in ratings in every episode. If you are NBC, you might as well use this opportunity to find the next 30 Rock or The Office.

What is not funny about comedians ripping on married couples?

When the couples are ridiculously FAKE, contrived, their situations ludicrous and the commentary is lame and equally as contrived.

This show had potential. If they REALLY did what they were supposed to do, with REAL couples, no contrived scripts, no stupid laugh tracks and scripted jokes, it would have been interesting and funny.

As it turns out, it's just false hooey aimed at people without much upstairs.

Too bad, too, as they've gotten some respectable names on the show.

Someone in NBC who has a lot of pull is pushing this turd and drawing in all the celebs, and getting it renewed for another season (ugh). I wonder who is that influential AND enough of a believer in crap-TV to keep this thing alive?

To answer your last question Helen Kay, that person is Jerry Seinfeld.

Being inconsistent is better than being consistently bad.

Yet on an appearance on Anderson Cooper's talk show, Jerry just said that he "Hates reality TV" and "Don't you feel bad after you watch it?". What a hypocrite.

As Elaine said to the president of NBC: "You're part of the problem."
