Do you ever find yourself watching a television show so bad, it's amazing that it ever made it to air in the first place? Like, where are all the good ideas? The truth of the matter is that it's amazing that ANY show manages to make it to television at all, let alone any of them managing to be any good. Many shows are so troubled, problematic, or just so ill-advised that they never end up making it to air in the first place. Did you know that there was a TV game show based on the party game app "Heads Up"? A seasons worth of episodes of that show were filmed, and not a single one of them made it to air! So the next time you find yourself in front of the "worst show you've ever seen" -- remember it's probably better than any number of terrible shows that never saw the light of day.
This one is just yikes all around.
