After 10 minutes my wife and I had to shut it off. This has nothing to do with politics, or women's lib, or freedom of expression, or whatever excuse for poor content....it is just plain terrible to watch. Man, woman, monkey....whichever species show would writhe in agony as the poor reviews flooded in. Part of putting yourself on stage is realizing you are subject to criticism, and the honest truth is this was a zero- talent required waste of time. I honestly wouldn't have taken the time to review had not tried to shirk responsibility, but this is plain awful.
