Fire Me, Please

Everyone I told about this show was looking forward to watching it - but it didn\'t stay on long enough for them all to see it. It was highly underadvertised and everyone I did tell about it hadn\'t heard of it. The concept is funny and for a reality show, its pretty good. Please, please, bring this show back!

great show! it fixes my day. my favorite episode is when a guy works at the BBQ and a girl works at a copying place. this show will make it to the top if you like it or not. this is more reality than that non- reality show survivor or the baclor/baclorette

Who hasn't ever wanted to get a little sweet revenge on tyranical employment managers and over zealous co-workers. If you have ever wanted to speak your mind and act crazy at work, this show is for you. You will have a good laugh while watching two people try thier best to get on their managers nerves. The rules stipulate that the person fired closest to 3:00pm wins $25,000. If they both should go over the 3:00pm mark then whoever gets fired first wins.

This is an extremely funny reality show. Fire Me, Please is a program that my husband and I would look forward to watching every week. The contestants seem to be natural comedians and do such a great job at acting stupid. We need more shows like this to make us laugh for an entire hour.

I stumbled across "Fire Me ... Please!" one night while surfing around the channels. To be honest, I only really like the idea on a guilty-pleasure level. That is to say, I would never really be "proud" of a show like this and tell all my friends about it - it's too goofy and its appeal is too narrow for most people. Even still, I think it's funny, since I tend to like watching reactions of unsuspecting people who are having a joke played on them (if you do too, watch Da Ali G Show).



The problem is in the execution - it's really quite poorly done and right now, it's enough to turn me off watching it. A weak, never-ending laugh track, cheap-looking titles - *ugh* - that Comic Sans MS font that's used EVERYWHERE and looks like some grade school project. It's terrible. The pacing is awful and you really get a feeling that they've taken otherwise workable material and done very little with it.



Re-tool it and I'd make it a guilty pleasure again, but until then I'll pass.moreless
