    It's not funny, not insightful, not clever, not dramatic. I just don't see the point of this show.

    This show was just dreadful!!!!. Thankfully I too Tivo'd it and watched about 15 minutes or so and then hit the trustee little dlete button. I was really hoping that this was going to be the comedy to watch this season. But there wasn't a single time that I even cracked a smile.

    The most excruciating thing i have watched in years. office at the mall? its not workin, the writing is stale, and the actors are just not funny. tina frey isnt even funny but at least she doesnt try, these people try and its painful. how does this stay on the air? the original Kath n kim was funny, calling this shit would be a compliment it does not deserve.

    It was horrible! Thank God I TIVO-ed it. 10 minutes in to the show I not only deleted it but erased the season pass request. My husband's only comment about it was, ' I can't believe you lasted 10 minutes.

    I seldom feel compelled to share my opinion about TV shows, movies, etc. but I was SO astounded by the HORRIBLE writing, casting, and limited acting ability ( Blair, in particular) that I had to research and see if other viewers found it as much of an insulting waste of time as I did. Most concur.

    Satiric comedy only works if it's funny. And in this case, it's not.

    The core problem with K&K is that there's no character to root for.

    Unfortunately, Blair's bratty take on Kim is repetitive and not even mildly amusing, Shannon is wonderful at her role (as always) but doesn't have much of a character to work with, and the stories are neither real enough to be relatable nor outrageous enough to flesh out a true farce.
