    The show confirms almost everything we already knew or suspected about local TV stations. It is amusing.... What is less clear is whether some of them are as spectacularly clueless as they appear to be.

    Alas, those interesting aspects of small-town news--people biding their time in the minor leagues, waiting to get called up to a larger market--and the “Waiting for Guffman” vibe that the network seems to be after are lost amid the sniping, goofy musical cues and quirky, Southern-fried characters.
