There is a reason Work It was canceled faster than Da Boom Crew (which lasted only four episodes in the US, this lasted 2). This show is beyond insulting to not only women but literally every body. The series is about two unemployed men who are broke (yeah very funny) who have to dress up as women to get a job only women can get. First of all refusal to hire someone over their gender is illegal, it's called Gender Discrimination in the workplace. not only are the main characters complete idiots, all the characters are complete idiots with no redeeming qualities. In the first episode there is a "joke" saying that if you work at Taco Bell (called astro taco or something else in the episode but same thing) you are worthless and have no pride. Do the writers realize how many people work at taco bell to provide for their family?!? All the remaining jokes are based around stereotypes that 10 out of 10 times are untrue and 0 out of 1000000 times are funny. How was this series made? but the more important question is: How did ABC think this would be worth 13 episodes?!? if i could give this series 0 stars i would i hate this series it's unfunny, filled with both misogynistic and misandristic stereotypes, and like it's characters has no redeeming qualities.

It not easy to dismantle stereotypes and laughing about them is one of the best ways. You do not always have to be complicated to be funny. Work today has become difficult in many ways, you do put up with a lot to keep on working. Thinking about the impossibility of actually transforming everyday in secret makes the show funny. Nothing new under the sun in TV or at the movies but new laughs be made from old ideas. I like the fact that it is not perfect in a lot of aspects but I see the risk of getting it predictable if you prepare it too much. I think sometimes we do get caught in the little things as if they we the most important gears in our machine and again laughing about them resizes our goals and leads them to the reality of life. I do not believe in a necessary difference between man and woman in life but I love their souls regardless of their sex.

I'll be honest, I never watched this filth. I didn't have to, because the commercials told me all I needed to know; that it was more brain dead, depressingly typical by-the-numbers sitcom pabulum that just deepens America's festering cultural vacuum where stupidity and ignorance are touted as virtues to be celebrated. I wasn't surprised to read of its cancellation after two episodes; thankfully, I guess there still are people who aren't impressed by a torturous half-hour of hell where clichés are humped to death in a vain attempt at "humor". In a perfect world this would be joined by Jersey Shore, The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Modern Family (sorry, but I watched it and thought only two things: pushing a gay marriage agenda that's simply way too obvious and it's seemingly a showcase for Sofia Vergara's exquisite rack, which seems to pop up in every scene) and countless other wretched shows at the bottom of a deep dark pit, but... oh well.

The best thing ABC can do for the viewing public and their own reputation is cancel this show immediately. First, it is not funny. Second, it is not funny and has about the worst cast I have seen since the disaster of Hank. Third, it is not funny and the premise, given that this is the 21st Century, is plainly stupid. I gather the Brits still find men in drag hilarious so perhaps we might send them this series as reparations for the Revolutionary War. Then again, maybe not. I can't believe someone saw the pilot for this and still green lit it for a go ahead. If a show can jump the shark on its first episode then we have a winner.
