    Shock humor that's too much shock and not enough humor. The concept seems great, but the jokes aren't there. The only redeeming value is watching their bodies undergo various changes, most of which, make me want to vomit and turn off the tv, of which only the latter happens.

    It's horrible, horrible, horrible, and you will hate yourself for laughing--although I'm afraid you will.

    In FX's Testees, viewers get a good premise gone sophomorically sideways.

    I don't know that there's a long-running series here--even the pilot runs out of steam before the end--but I did laugh several times.
