How did this show get green lit?

Warning: Spoilers
I have already reviewed the show via the first ep. But I am tired of all this crap passing under the radar that I will review each ep of this garbage show to point out just what is wrong. Not letting these chauvinist pigs get away with this crap any more. You will have to answer for your sins.

Just as in the first ep we start with a non funny joke that is offensive. The 'star' (a relative unknown) of the show jokes that he puts on clothes when told by a female masseuse to 'undress to his comfort level.' Translation 'women are yucky and filled with germs.' He says he feels safe with more clothes on. OK? Why even get a massage then if you hate people touching you???? Oh right, to bash women some more. Disgusting.

So after this bad Seinfeld rip off, we go to the SNL rip off opening credits. We are finally treated to the ever annoying, "Mulaney is filmed in front of a live studio audience okay?" Okay? Why must you say it in such a passive aggressive way? And of course the token black guy has to say it so that any hate will be directed towards him. More racism.

Now we are subjected to even more racism as the token black character is depicted as loud and stupid. Really I have no idea how there is no one calling them out but me. Oh probably because it's so horrible of a show it will fail on it's own.

Now we get to the main point of the show, being sexist as hell. They make fun of the birth process. Since that is all women are good for right? Sex and babies? SEXIST! What job does the main female character even have? Do we know? Is she just there to be a female stereotype? Seems like it. The show continues with the 'star' of the show not being able to act and saying that vagina's disgust him.

The Mary Jo actor can't act, actually most people this ep could not even act. Seems like they can't get enough decent female actors that agree with the FOX network's sexist ideas, shocker! lol....Also there is all this stuff about sexual harassment. This Mary says that the boss 'needs some' hmm. Why not just teach him to control himself? OH because that would be forward thinking, and that has NO place on the FOX network they are stuck in the the past.

Next birth/women are made fun of/objectified even more/said to be disgusting with the restaurant scene. Next game show scene has more sexism surprise, surprise. And surprise racism as well 'it's hard to date a doula' 'the proper term is African-American' WOW. Next scene the roommates take advantage of their friends. This scene's acting is so horrible, the scene is not even believable! Not even if the scene was done by Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro, and Sidney Poitier would it have been good. It's just bad writing/directing, bad EVERYTHING really!

Now to the scene to end all bad scenes. The air conditioner 'birth' scene. Wow, so, so forced. I mean why were people laughing? Were they paid to? Is it a laugh track? Were they laughing at how bad it was? Like laughing AT them not with them? Were they on drugs? Not sure, this scene was just cringe worthy. Did people clap since it was over? I mean is this a hipster show? Like it's meant to be bad? This scene was just too self aware...just crap. The next scene is just bad as well. As well as the scene after that. I feel sorry for the more seasoned actors that are SO good. They make the younger actors look like even worse actors. Also what was with the antisemitism in this scene. "You may not know this but I am a Jewish person." Why did people laugh? Judaism is a religion. Anyone can be Jewish. Just like any other religion. Wow, this show is SO backwards....

"Sex murders" wow even more anti-women stuff the next scene. "All love and respect to women and their bodies." So yeah women are just physical objects...so sexist. The sexism continues with more ignorance and racism, can't forget the racism! Next scene circumcision is made fun of. And after that another silly scene that makes no sense. "I don't care I don't love him." Yeah sure women say that after birth. Don't most women want to hold their babies almost immediately after birth. Women are blamed for everything. Just like how Eve was scapegoated for human damnation. But wait according to religion women were made just to be men's slaves. How can they be blamed when they are said to be simply physical objects? The war on women continues...next it's said that Mary Jo slept with the boss, and she is made fun of as well.

Wow, is FOX showing these eps out of order since it sort of came out of no where that this guy is scared of this stuff. Good, since that is what FOX does normally to try and kill shows. It seems to me this show is trying to get the ever 'important' demographic of young males. They are appealing to the Elliot Rodgers of the world. "Women rejected me so they are are trash." Wow FOX this is low even for you.

How did this show even get made? Between the bad jokes, bad writing, rip offs of other shows, sexism, racism, bad acting, etc.
