I Live with Models

Once upon a time on a cold November morning I turned on my TV and started watching Comedy Central. Little did I know that what I would see next would make me doubt humanity so much. This show is awful. No way around it. I started watching halfway through s01e08 and was shocked by the horrible writing, terrible acting, complete lack of originality, and the predictability. Every 'joke' felt forced and the show as a whole was just a combination of worn out clichés.

When checking IMDb to see if my opinion was shared by more (which thankfully it is), I also found that the episode I saw was in fact the highest rated one of all with a rating of 6/10! Maybe most people already gave up on the show by then but if it's any indication for the rest of the episodes I'm going to avoid those like the plague.

Summary: worst show I've ever had the misfortune to watch.

The only reason I didn't switch off in agony after two minutes was a weird sense of masochism; I kind of wanted to see whether it could get any worse. So I sat on in disbelieving horror as the four poor saps whose agents somehow convinced them to star in this train wreck committed hara-kiri on their own careers. The plot, the script, the acting, the premise, the "gags" (there aren't any), even the laughter track: every single aspect of this show is utterly amateurish and hugely embarrassing to watch. In fairness to the actors, they have so little to work with that it's difficult to imagine anyone managing to do much better. You can see that, inside, they are writhing with shame. No one can turn in a reasonable performance under those conditions. I feel most sorry for the ones playing "Tommy" and "Anna" as they do appear to have a modicum of comedic talent. Unfortunately, after this stinker, it's hard to see how they will ever be given another chance.

Wooden acting, stilted dialogue, pathetic storyline, no laughs ( apart from the canned laughter). Big disappointment, won't be watching again. This has to be one of the worst so-called comedy programmes I've seen in ages. The premise is weak, the characters are not plausible. I can find no redeeming features of this programme at all. I have to waffle on for ten lines to hit the minimum review for this, but there's so little more I can say about it. Three lines to go! Well, if you want to live longer, watch this. Time goes at half speed because you are just wishing it would finish! Just like you are probably wishing this review would finish. One more line to fill. I'm stumped. I can't think of any more to say.

I was intrigued with the concept. It could've worked, but I felt like the writing was rushed, lazy and absolutely awful. There is nothing original about any of the gags. That's fine if you're not aiming for a comedy to win awards (as another commenter pointed out), but if you're going to be using gags that have been around since the 80's and 90's, you need to at least make it interesting and witty. Nothing about it works. The actors and actresses overact in the way that the kids do on those awful Disney Channel/Nickleodeon Shows, and the writing (which I cannot stress enough) seems really lazy. You can tell that no real thought has gone into it at all. And if there was, this shouldn't have gotten the green light in the first place. It did not even bring a small chuckle or grin to my face. It was so boring... If you want to compare humour, I will list some of the comedy shows I have enjoyed: Boy Meets World, That 70's Show, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond. Now those were funny. I Live with Models is most definitely not.

I cannot begin to explain how bad this show is. It was like watching an amateur play in a church hall, wooden acting, bad writing and not a hint of comedy.

The trailers were terrible, but I thought it can't have been all that bad as it got commissioned, I couldn't have been more wrong. Whoever did commission it, may want to look into a career change.

This programme is simply not funny, it has no plot, no storyline, no laughs... It's infantile and the "jokes" ate so desperately trying to shock, they forget to shock.

I implore Comedy Central not to allow this travesty to go on any longer. I've watched World War Two Documentaries with more laughs than this. I apologise that I can't say anything good about this show, but I can't think of one redeeming feature, if I wanted British teeth and masturbation jokes I'd go back to the early 90's.

Suffice to say, i have no intention of ever watching this again.
