Dreadful. Even less funny than one of those jokes you find on the stick in a Mini Milk ice lolly and the worse of the two dreadful country music-based shows ABC now has. And while country star Reba McEntire being in it is understandable, Lily Tomlin – what the hell’s the matter with you?
Here’s a trailer. Don’t watch even a second more of this show than that. Even the trailer might be a step too far.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
