I really wish I could give this show zero stars, or negative stars, but alas, the world is not as it should be.
How do I convey the true level of idiocy of this.... thing? How about this: Let's pretend this show, instead of being about tech stuff, is about regular life. If that was the case, this is how it would sound: Person #1: "Hey everyone, I had to take a dump last night. Wanna hear how I did it?" Person #2: "Let me guess - you sat down, with your ass perfectly centered in the middle of the toilet bowl, relaxed your anal sphincter, and then let nature run its course?" Person #1: "Nice try, smartie, but not even close. Here's how it all started - I didn't even know I had to take a dump, but I felt some rumblings deep inside my bowels. Instinctively, I leaned over to once side to allow any festering colonic gasses to escape. I was rewarded for this effort by the pleasant sound of escaping effluvium, consisting of a perfect blend of nitrogen, hydrogen, and methane. It was at that moment I realized soon I would need to rise and make my way toward the restroom. And thus, I did.
Person #2: Right!! I remember it happened exactly that way for me one time, when I had broccoli and sautéed onions for lunch. Please, continue.
And, etcetera, etcetera. More of the same, with every character explaining everything, so all I need to do is shut off my brain and let the words and images from the television enter my brain and slowly turn it into mush.
I apologize, actually, because I fear I have made my analogy too interesting, I cannot, in fact, make up anything that is stupider than the writing for this show. It is actually much, much worse than I have outlined here.
The fact that as of today it has a 7.2 rating means that mankind is indeed doomed.
