I'd like to meet the person at ABC who thought it was a good idea to remake Bosom Buddies and punch him in the face. This show looks absolutely horrible. And yet, it might actually be on for more than one episode (seeing that ABC also found Cavemen a good idea but frowns upon anything intelligent).

Apparently transgender rights groups are also calling it offensive. I think it's silly. People can barely stand movies with men as women, a series would just be pushing it. Also, is it just me or are those the most unconvincing women I've ever seen? I mean, they are trying to convince the job interviewers that they are biologically women, but I seriously doubt that anyone would believe them.

The main characters make Tom Hanks's attempt at playing a woman look like the cover girl on the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

I don't think it's all that objectionable. It's pretty ballsy to address the "man-cession" in the open like that.

Though I would much prefer a regular hack job sitcom revolving around real transvestites.

It's been canceled after just two episodes. Who didn't see this coming a mile away?

ABC always seems to cancel their good shows and replace them with crap, that said, this isn't the worst show i've seen(Bob's Burgers, Allen Gregory, and Cavemen are all worse IMO) but it is a perfect example of ABC's idiocy(like screwing over Million Dollar Mind Game by only airing it on Sunday afternoons wasn't bad enough) besides, I don't see how the premise could've possibly lasted for much longer without getting old, the pilot pretty much used up all the cross-dressing jokes you could imagine, take those out and this show is barely any different from your average workplace comedy.

Now that this show is gone, hopefully Cougar Town can finally return and reclaim it's rightful place on the schedule(I heard it's supposed to return in March, better late then never I guess)

Also I agree that those guys were totally unconvincing as women, you thought Shawn and Marlon Wayans looked ugly in White Chicks? They looked like supermodels compared to the guys in this show. The no-name cast was also a huge red flag, i've never heard of any of the actors in this show, a semi-famous actor might've helped.

ABC executives seem to have taken lessons in stupid. *cue Samuel L. Jackson saying "I took lessons?!"*

There's a reason the only show I watch on ABC is Once Upon a Time. Because at least with that show you have to use your brain to understand it. (Though I'm in full support of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition staying on the air simply because they're doing good deeds.)

I honestly didn't even bother with this show. It looked horrible and there wasn't a good reason to give it the benefit of a doubt.

We're going to spread this shit like Nutella.

Canceled after two episodes? There is a God.

If there was a god this wouldn't have even aired.
