The one thing I WILL give it (and I've seen maybe 1 1/2 episodes. I couldn't take it, even to satisfy curiosity), I think it is absolutely, completely scripted and the characters are as invented as if it was a sitcom. If it's real I'm Susan Sondheim.

I agree with Nolabear... the show has to be scripted. I managed to watch for about five minutes and vowed never again.

However, I have a friend who lives in Glasgow, Scotland and she loves it. She and her husband won't miss it. I begged her not to think all Americans are like that. Fortunately, she's traveled to the US often and assures me she knows better.

What passes as entertainment these days is unbelievable.

Other than that, I haven't a clue, I only lasted about five minutes before it pegged my WTF? meter and I bailed.
