Let’s just get this out of the way first: Work It is awful. The grade should indicate that. But it’s fascinatingly awful, in that way where you wonder how the hell something like this got on TV in the year 2012. (I’ve actually been wondering that a lot this season, and the upcoming comedies are somehow even less promising than the ones we’ve already gotten.) It’s the early frontrunner for the worst show of 2012, and it’s hard to imagine something else coming along to take its crown. But at the same time, there’s something so vaguely desperate about everybody involved in the production that it’s sort of impossible to hate this as much as it probably should be hated. It’s a bad show, but it really, really wants you to love it, like an animal that’s been run over and dragged itself on your doorstep to look up at you with sad, pleading eyes before dying. 

That show about men that dress up as women to get jobs at a pharmaceutical company is on the air now.

I know someone’s son who has a bit part in one of the episodes. Unfortunately I didn’t know this until after I went on a tear about how misogynistic and awful the entire concept is, the myriad ways it was doomed to failure and ignominy, etc. etc. OOPS.

Thankfully her son also thought the show was horseshit.
