Sneakerhead

This short-lived sitcom/taster reminds me of Channel 4's "PhoneShop" from 2009, In fact when you look at the summary for that show on here you'll see."The antics of the dysfunctional staff of Sutton branch of a mobile phone retailer." Well you can swap out Sutton for Peterborough and mobile phone for sports outfitters and you have the same scenario but with far less interesting characters.

The only problem is that Phoneshop developed over 3 seasons, where this seems to have been canned before it had chance to improve the scripts and flesh out the rather vanilla characters.

Laughs are few and far between, and the show is standing around desperately looking for a spark of imagination and fresh humour.

Had it been given a few more episodes things could have really surprised and entertained us. As it is Sneakerhead is stuck in the traps constantly tripping over itself.
