I can't believe they canceled this show , Finally a comedy that was funny and enjoyable to watch, there's shows 100% worse that this on TV, swearing, violence, nudity and such and they keep that crap on TV over this comedy, come on people this show has nothing wrong with it, those out there with insecurities about themselves are the ones with the problems with the show...
I totally agree. This show was so hilarious and I'm completely pissed off that they canceled it!!! They could have at least aired the rest of the episodes they made!!!
They already made movies over the years where guys dressed up as ladies for a reason. For example: Mrs Doubtfire, The Hot Chick, White Chicks, and don't forget Big Momma with Martin Lawrence. I bet those movies were funny and did great. What was the problem with making this a tv series. Grow up and act like adults. I think this is discrimmination.These guys were not gay and thats what everyone was thinking. It was a funny show and it ended after 2 episodes because of people with sick minds.
When Bosom Buddies aired in the 80's it was canceled after two seasons (low ratings) it was understandable because back in the day certain things were not accepted. NOW everyone is OUT and everything is IN. Therefore, two men dressing up as women in this present time with no intent to defame certain individuals or organizations is harmless. If this sitcom was a reality show would it have been embraced? Probably! What's more offensive and disgusting is when derogatory remarks are posted.
I can't believe this show was cancelled. I had hoped it would run forever. My life is in ruins. I suppose I will now attempt to pick up the pieces of my shattered life, if I don't kill myself by morning. Is there a God?
And a another thing, this IS NOT coping BOSOM BUBBIES. In "Bosom Buddies" they had to dress like a woman to have a place to live, this show they dressed to WORK. if this is coping then STOP going to the movies to see a COPY of every movie thats already been made.
This show was not making fun of women and transgendered women. Damn it was a SITCOM. Are we not allowed to have sitcoms anymore? I would rather LAUGH then hear someone bitch at someone for switching a husband or some crap like that. Hell we can't laugh anymore. Thank you all for killing a COMEDY SHOW. BREAK OUT THE DVD'S EVERYONE REALITY TV SEEMS TO BE FUNNIER THAN A COMEDY SITCOM.
@mdna32 - Yea i agree. What the hell is wrong with people taking offense to this. How is it offensive in any way. Its just sitcom for christs sake. a couple dudes dress up as women to get jobs & crack some jokes, how in the hell is that so bad. I thought it was funny. This was in no way disrespecting women, men, gays, or trannies. I guess its not OK to laugh anymore. Im offended by people being offended by this. Maybe they themselves need to be shutdown for not having a funny bone.
After airing 2 episodes and LOTS of bad criticism, ABC has yanked this off the air! TWO episodes! That is almost a record, second behind Rosie's FIRST episode cancellation of her "variety show. The guys looked ridiculous in this, and this is a rip-off of Bosom Buddies.
This show hasn't aired in the UK but I did heard it caused a lot of complaints. Is it because the subject transvestites is a bit more sensitive at the moment or is it because it is just a really bad show? Because I remember the TV show that Tom Hanks was in: Bosom Buddies. He played a man dressed as a woman along with his male friend so that they could live in this apartment that they liked and it was quite a popular show.
it's not even that it's offensive to transgendered people...which it is. it's just that every bit on the show has been done in every "man dressed like a woman" movie and show ever, all the way back to "some like it hot". oh no, one of the guys is attracted to one of the women; oh no, men can't walk like women; oh no, pantyhose are crazy. it's just confusing how ABC put something not remotely modern next to great shows with great characters like "modern family" and "happy endings".
Cancelled after just 2 episodes GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE This show was awful and an insult to to not only transgendered people but men as well (hey can't get a job! become a woman!) Fuck off this show makes a mockery of the struggle that men are going through to get jobs.
wow....you people are so fucking sensitive, well you guys can shut the hell up about it being soooo offensive to men or women or gay men or whatever, they canceled it, everybody goes home happy.
A lot of ppl think it's offensive....and yet I'm a girl and yet I don't feel mad abt this show, and it seems funny and I'm gonna give this show a chance
This is so amazingly offensive. Men are impersonating people from the trans community in order to further themselves.. If you're going to make a show involving trans people.. at least ACTUALLY make it about trans people. Not people PRETENDING to be trans. Ugh.
ABC really needs to be shut down. All of their shows are shitstorms, and it's now come to the point where it's promoting negative stereotypes of women and anti-trans humor. This is just disgusting.
I hope this stupid show never runs this is disgusting, offensive, and humiliating to both cisgendered women and transgendered women. And using a RuPaul song? The fuck who can you dare use it seeing this show is so offensive to who she is? FUCK YOU ABC.
Offensive to women, offensive to the trans community, and not really funny at all... wow, this is just a bad idea all around. More negative stereotypes being promoted? Really?
Plus I have a feeling people are jealous they never thought of the idea for this sitcom first which in turn rakes in the moolah! Hence the negativity!
Yo Viewers it's time to separate fiction from reality...this is a comedy so up yours naysayers!! So often people forget that this is entertainment so don't judge! This is the biggest sin of humankind!
Thank you mrtecnologyenforcer for posting the summary and trailer of this show.
After reading the storyline and viewing the trailer, I'll say that ABC has a massive trainwreck on their hands. It might've been fun for the actors and producers to make this show, but an overly complicated sit-com and crossdressing actors who don't really pass as women will doom this show.
There are some truth in what you say. To do comic, especially for a sitcom as it is a long exposure for characters, you make people laugh but they have to buy the story and feel for hem first.
This might have worked in an 1h30 vaudeville a la " white chicks" but that's it.
This actually looks funny. It's a sitcom, which is made for comedy, and no one can deny stereotypes happen to make people laugh. It in no way makes fun of the transgendered community! If anything it would be drag queens or transvestites.
It also doesn't "make fun" of them, I'm just showing the idiocy of people. Transgendered women are NOT drag queens or men who dress as women, they're women. Fucking stupid.
How is this show any different in terms of its 'offending nature' when compared with Peter Sellers pretending to be a French detective, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in Some Like it Hot or even Barbra Streistand in Yent? It's not. These guys are not drag queens, transgender or anything other than straight men dressed in women's clothing and attempting to fool people. If it were women dressed as men doing the same, it would be applauded for being 'original' and empowering women. What a crock.
Whoah. So many ultra-sensitive people on here. The show is rubbish in terms of its quality, but the idea is not remotely transphobic or mysogynistic. It's an age-old plot about stupid men trying to fool others in order to be successful. Actually, it may be insulting to men by portraying them as stupid, no? But of course, because it's men, then that's fine. Only women and the LGBT community can be offended, obviously! Do you not see how hypocritical you are being? And I say this as a gay man!
People, people. Let's not overanalyze this show. This show probably sucks, not because of the transgender stereotyping but because it's a mindless unintelligent show.
seriously who sat down at a tv executive meeting and pitched this as a good idea? and who approved it? did everyone in the building smoke peyote first?!
Why is everyone so cranky about this? It is BOSOM BUDDIES for 2012. Who cares. Get over it. If the actors and good and the writing is good, then we'll see if it can keep an audience. Don't look at 30 seconds of this and get so morally offended. It's a tv show. Deal with it
@MD2389 - You also forgot "Connie & Carla," about two women who escape after witnessing a murder and go "in-hiding" as drag queens and sing show tunes.
I don't really see how this is making fun of transgendered people. I mean, it's a couple of guys desperate for jobs, so they dress as women. When does it talk about being transgendered? They're not transwomen, they might not even be classified as transvestites. Seriously, I think people are getting their panties in a knot because of a show about desperate guys. Feel free to (kindly) explain why this is so offensive?
First off the show is misogynistic. It's insulting to women. It's crude, and moronic. It presents the idea trans is a choice. It's not a choice, it's the way you are and the way you were born.
It does NOT promote the fucking idea being trans is a choice. Transgendered people believe they are the in the wrong body, these are men who are dressing as women. No, it does not imply anything of the sort. I'm a gay male and it's almost sad how people take every little thing as if it's against the LGBT community. I agree it's a tad stereotypical of women, but what sitcom doesn't play on stereotypes? My goodness.
Wow, this is a disgusting piece of sexist shit. It's the 21st century, cross-dressing "comedies" should no longer exist since they're pretty much degrading half of the world's population. Way to go, ABC. I promise never to watch you again.
@fatmusiclover What shows are you talking about? Every show out there has men being idiots. Unless you mean shows that have pretty women it it and you're the type who freaks out about it?
@clevelandphil Please explain this 'type' you're talking about? Because it sounds like you're going to come up with an ignorant and rude stereotype. And I do mean the majority of shows, yes. But while these men are just 'being idiots' they're re-enforcing heteronormativity and constructed gender roles. This in and of itself re-enforces patriarchy and discrimination, not just to women but to men as well.
No, you're too sensitive. It's almost ridiculous how much of an opinion you formed from a 30 second clip. It's also not re-enforcing heteronormativity or gender roles. What straight men would be willing to push the boundary of gender to get a job? The guys are open to dressing in womens clothing and don't look down on it. Again, you're too sensitive. Yes, it stereotypes women, but what show DOESN'T? Really.
@SebastienCade It's almost ridiculous how ignorant you are. It IS re-eforcing heteronormativity and gender roles because what it is REALLY saying is that when men dress up as women, it's funny. Despite the fact that some men feel comfortable and natural dressing up as women, and visa versa for some women. This is encouraging the mockery of transgendered people and women. There are good shows that don't stereotype women and those are the kinds of shows that we should be encouraging, not this crap
I'm aware there are good shows that don't stereotype women, but I'd love to hear of a sitcom that doesn't. Also, you're really grasping at straws trying to try and compare this and the mockery of transgendered people. THEY ARE NOT TRANSGENDERED in this fucking show! It has nothing to do with it, whatsoever. I wont debate you on the fact it stereotypes women, which isn't a good thing but it's rather normal in our media. Just flip the channel, you're ridiculous.
Also, yes, it does reinforce the concept of gender roles. I am against them as much as anyone, but it's going to be a long while before it becomes a mainstream view of people. The only thing I really have an issue with you saying is this will affect the view of transgendered women. It wont.
@SebastienCade ALSO just because a lot of shows stereotype women that doesn't mean it's okay. Just because a lot of people used to own slaves that doesn't make racism and slavery okay, either.
YES! Ohhh, please God, yes. I want so desperately for someone else to see the same level of hilarity this will bring humanity that I do. You guys, it is going to be so bad. SO bad. Come on! It's going to be awesome.
It was super funny.

No, you're too sensitive. It's almost ridiculous how much of an opinion you formed from a 30 second clip. It's also not re-enforcing heteronormativity or gender roles. What straight men would be willing to push the boundary of gender to get a job? The guys are open to dressing in womens clothing and don't look down on it. Again, you're too sensitive. Yes, it stereotypes women, but what show DOESN'T? Really.

@SebastienCade It's almost ridiculous how ignorant you are. It IS re-eforcing heteronormativity and gender roles because what it is REALLY saying is that when men dress up as women, it's funny. Despite the fact that some men feel comfortable and natural dressing up as women, and visa versa for some women. This is encouraging the mockery of transgendered people and women. There are good shows that don't stereotype women and those are the kinds of shows that we should be encouraging, not this crap

I'm aware there are good shows that don't stereotype women, but I'd love to hear of a sitcom that doesn't. Also, you're really grasping at straws trying to try and compare this and the mockery of transgendered people. THEY ARE NOT TRANSGENDERED in this fucking show! It has nothing to do with it, whatsoever. I wont debate you on the fact it stereotypes women, which isn't a good thing but it's rather normal in our media. Just flip the channel, you're ridiculous.

Also, yes, it does reinforce the concept of gender roles. I am against them as much as anyone, but it's going to be a long while before it becomes a mainstream view of people. The only thing I really have an issue with you saying is this will affect the view of transgendered women. It wont.

@SebastienCade ALSO just because a lot of shows stereotype women that doesn't mean it's okay. Just because a lot of people used to own slaves that doesn't make racism and slavery okay, either.

YES! Ohhh, please God, yes. I want so desperately for someone else to see the same level of hilarity this will bring humanity that I do. You guys, it is going to be so bad. SO bad. Come on! It's going to be awesome.
And I'm a woman, by the way...
