Daisy Does America (2005–2006)
Offensive
1 January 2006
If the Arquettes thought this show would appeal to the general public, then it's obvious they are completely out of touch. There is nothing funny or clever about ridiculing country folks or inner city kids for a cheap laugh. Daisy exploits these peoples' good nature as they welcome her into their communities to help Daisy achieve her bogus American "dream."

Daisy (and her producers) say that she's not afraid to embarrass herself, when it's obvious from watching the show that she is trying to make her guests look stupid with her attempted behind-the-back sarcasm and ridicule. Nevertheless, the Arquettes, Daisy, and TBS are the only ones being humiliated.

That being said, Daisy is just not very funny either: shaking some guys hand for five minutes, bugging her eyes at the camera, and running around like a lost child. None of that is original or very funny. Her dry attempt at slapstick humor would make the Three Stooges (and Benny Hill) cringe.

Maybe Daisy would be funny in another setting, but the whole premise of this show is offensive and definitely NOT funny.
