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.
