The show is cornball, but I'm willing to grant him this small, soft lob toward career rehab.
-
There's something bizarrely addictive about The Hasselhoffs.
-
Comedy of egotism only works if it's actually funny. Or put another way: He's no William Shatner. [3 Nov 2010, p.74]
-
Nothing particularly interesting or revelatory. For this to work--at least for viewers--The Hoff needs to move past self-parody, or at least take himself seriously. He tries here, but the exercise still seems flimsy and hollow.
-
If only the actual action in The Hasselhoffs weren't so stagy, that tension between delusion and self-awareness might be interesting.
-
There's nothing fresh or original, and certainly no reason to watch this show, unless you're a fan of this ilk of staged "reality" (see "The Kardashians").
-
You wish them all well. But in the end, watching the Hasselhoffs isn't much more interesting than watching a mechanic rebuild the transmission on KITT.
-
Just when psychiatrists have decided to strike narcissistic personality disorder from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (as reported last week in science journals), the Hasselhoffs make a clear case for reinstating it.
-
A&E's The Hasselhoffs is not as morally objectionable as other shows have been (think: "Hot or Not," "Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?"), but it is hands down the cheesiest, least realistic celeb-reality show ever. And mostly that's due to star David Hasselhoff's narration, which sounds like someone with no acting training trying to read dialogue.
