Minding the Store (2005– )
Wretched show
8 August 2005
Warning: Spoilers
If Pauly Shore really wants to know why he's so hated in the entertainment world, he should look at his own antics on this show. He's occasionally funny in a self-effacing sort of way, but he's still an arrogant, ignorant, chauvinistic pig.

What I also found distasteful is the "role" of the foreign assistant (whose name I can't remember because I only saw the show on one night and that was enough for me), as this inept fellow, who can barely speak or understand English but is asked to struggle through tasks that are crucial to his continued employment. Why is a new employee being given private driving lessons, and then being charged with trying to somehow get uncooperative employees to know fire regulations that will keep the store open? Did this person just become the immigrant fall guy, or was that the setup from the beginning? Overall, I found myself hoping that Pauly Shore and his motley crew would crash and burn, so that maybe they'd finally understand that they are not at all cut out for the entertainment world, and encouraged to find work elsewhere (even people who are not seen but are rather vocally heard, like his overly judgmental and narrow-minded mother).
