Could this be the worst TV show of all time?



You may have seen this ad, it's being played nonstop on ABC and sister network ESPN. Apparently it's a new saucy NYC cop drama due out this April. All of the one liners in this ad are awful attempts at sarcastic NY cop humor. When a scantily clad woman opens her apt door and say "You're not the pizza boy," the cop responds "And this isn't a porn film." Also, when a giant hot dog asks "hey, dont I get a phonecall" the detective responds "who are you going to call the hamburglar?" One, this is an obvious trademark infringement, and two, yes he actually does get an effing phone call, so pipe down Detective Lolita.

One has to wonder if they're taking the stereotypical NYC sarcasm and wit a little too far, almost seeming like they're tyring too hard to be "New Yorky" which makes them posers in my book. Also, halfway through the ad one of the weak minded cast members attempts suicide while an "F" train is barrelling towards him at full speed. One can only hope the F effs his life up.
