Ok, I'm a little behind here, but just got to see the rerun of King of the Strip last night. And as much as I support TJ and Melanie, I certainly have to agree with the majority that it is extremely dismal and lifeless. Way too much bickering, too little racing, and the buy out in the end didn't help, in my opinion.
I also think that using that Barney guy who has been on Pinks already was a mistake, in that most of us have already had the misfortune of catching his act on Pinks, and this was just same song second verse. For Mel and TJs sake I hope it gets better in the second episode. I'll give it one more try, but if it doesn't get better, I think I will have to give up on it. Good Idea, good people (Melanie, TJ, and Bruce Litton) way bad execution.....
