Additional Comments: Well I just had to watch it because of Tina Fey, and even though I hated being suckered in with the tagging it onto the closing of the Olympics stunt NBC pulled, watch it I did. I laughed so hard at the first couple, I my stomach hurt. I love to have something to laugh out loud to that is not cruel or mean spirited, a rare find these days, and this show seems to have found the sweet spot. It kinda reminds me of the old Art Linkletter show, "Kids Say the Darndest Things," for adults. Paraphrasing the best line, women reign over the inside and men the outside. She tried to bring the inside outside and would have had a fancy table out there you could not sit in. So many of us do have these stereotypical "rules" running around in our heads and are probably too busy to examine them, but this show kinda puts a spotlight on them by showing some more extreme examples because people really do say and do the darndest things and are really fascinating. Don't much care for reality shows, but this one, IMO, is actually interesting and I have made a rule... do not have anything I might choke on in mouth when I watch. Did anybody else watch last night?

Message: Nope, can't do it. It feels contrived, over rehearsed and the canned laughter puts me right over the edge. It's Three Stooges humor which my husband loves but gets on my last nerve. I like Jerry so I hope it does well but I won't be watching. (like he'll really care...LOL) Enjoy, people!!

Message:
I like it too for the same reasons. Its funny and no meanness involved. I am sick of seeing shows humiliating someone. Its no longer ''And the winner is...!'' Its ''take your things and leave the building.'' or ''you have to leave now'' Its a very disturbed society that enjoys seeing someone spirit crushed.
