38Much of what passes for humor in Work It is mined from the same, quickly depleted vein: men awkwardly trying to pass for women.
-
30The series--which is to say, the pilot--is just not very good; the jokes creak and wheeze, and there is nothing in the performances to distract from the material.
-
30This series aims so low, to paraphrase another artifact from the "Bosom Buddies" era, it could practically play handball against the curb.
-
25It's a hair-sprayed cobweb. And not funny. [9 Jan 2012, p.40]
-
25There are a couple of funny lines, mostly from Rebecca Mader, who plays mean-mouthed regional sales leader Grace, but overall, the humor is about as inauthentic as the guys' drag.
-
25Work It is dreadful almost beyond comprehension: witless, tasteless, poorly acted, abominably written, clumsily directed, hideously lit and badly costumed.
-
20[The subject of hard economic times] has been mined successfully in the past on shows like "Good Times" and "Roseanne." But there was a humanity to those projects that Work It sorely lacks.
-
20The show lumbers like a 200-pound man trying to impersonate a 95-pound ballerina.
-
10It will most likely be remembered for years to come, alongside My Mother, the Car and Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire, as one of TV's truly bad ideas.
-
10Work It is bad dumb, memorably bad dumb, the kind of bad dumb show you will use in years to come as a benchmark for other bad sitcoms.
-
10It's pretty awful.
-
0Work It is not so bad it's good. It's just terrible.
-
0When you add to that a string of obvious, unfunny cross-dressing jokes and a set of female characters that are barely even one-dimensional, the premise pretty much collapses entirely.
-
0ABC's atrocious Work It fails miserably.
-
0The laughs could not be thinner.
-
0When you strip away the wigs, makeup, padded bras and Ace bandages, there's nothing about Work It that suggests a show that will ever be appealing to either gender.
-
0It's not only not funny, but it's also not original.
-
0ABC, you can do better than this drivel you call Work It.
