Throwing Shade

The show just isn't funny. The idea that a 30 something very gay man is always cute and a 40 something year old matronly, single, and preachy woman is funny just doesn't fly here. Together the chemistry doesn't work, she is annoying, loud and often wrong. He is simply not funny and not overly intelligent. The old sitcom Dharma and Greg about a straight Jewish woman and a gay lawyer was well done, funny, and the chemistry worked. People liked it because they were easy to love both apart and together. To make this combination work in a comedy "talk show", there has to be a good balance of chemistry but also requires an openness by the cast to accept criticism and be open minded to the audiences difference of opinion. Being loud and stereotypical can work but not here. They don't work. Really hard to watch and hopefully people won't have to much longer.

I looked forward to this show, and had high hopes for it. We have a large group of friends that are a part of the LGBTQ community, and thought that the show would be a voice for these groups, and bring to light fun issues that people have to deal with. Boy what a let down! It reminds me of a VERY bad high school skit that was thrown together at the last moment. The gay host is atrocious, obnoxious, not funny in the least, and almost every word that comes out of his mouth is a gross exaggeration, or an outright lie. He is like a rich bitchy little school girl who just can't keep her opinion to her self. And speaking of ladies, what is the female host's trip. She is like a spastic schizophrenic that has forgotten to take her medication. The show on the whole makes about as much sense as a bag full of doorknob parts. I am still trying to figure out how to block this show without blocking the entire TVLAND channel. It is so bad that I don't even want my satellite dish to receive the signal from space. On the whole, I gave it a 1 in the rating, but only because there are no negative numbers in the IMDb rating system. I think there are a lot of issues and events that could be dealt with with this type of show, and it could be done well, but this show delivers nothing but DRIVEL!

Bryan and Erin do an excellent job of representing minorities in their fight for equal rights and against the bigotry and hate that's so rampant right now. Clearly, that bigotry and hate seeped over to IMDb (because apparently, no place on the internet is sacred) (not that IMDb was sacred to being with, but still) and the trolls are out in full force. As soon as the word 'fake news' comes out in a review, I immediately see a Trumpett drowning in a sea of MAGA hats. It would be great if instead of one-star bombing an excellent show, they could point out the so called 'fake news' points and leave a constructive review.

Then again, when have Trumpetters ever done anything constructive?

I sincerely hope this show stays on the air because these two provide a much-needed voice in television!

Love these two and their chemistry! It's a certain brand of humor I'll give it that, but I think a lot of the negative reviews on here are a tad extreme. Almost as if they have ulterior motives. This show, just like their amazing podcast is so funny and makes me laugh out loud constantly.

I lean left. The trump era is ripe for comedy. It writes itself. This show does not take advantage of that. It's too preachy. Too self-absorbed. Too agenda oriented. I enjoy Colbert, Jon Stewart, SNL and all the other shows that take prez cheeto to task, but this show? This show simply sucks.
