I only turned it on to see how terrible it would be but then it actually turned out to be pretty funny. I missed the first one except for seeing the very end when the guy got fired and then seeing who won. Then I saw the whole second one. The one girl in the clothing store was hysterical. She seemed totally insane! I think the co-workers were actually scared of her!! I also loved the reaction of the manager at the hat store! And then when the girl came back to tell them it was for a TV show, she was about to kick her out! I want to watch the whole thing next week but I think it's good there are only 4 episodes because it might get kind of repetitive.

Last night was the first time I watched this show....

I LOVED the guy in the coffee shop. What a cutie!!! He had me rolling off the sofa...um, make that futon. I loved the reaction of the woman who was training him, and how the other young kid employee kept trying to protect her from the crazy idiot. The older asian guy seemed to enjoy the new employee's antics...when he hit the guy with the balled up newspaper I LOLed. The other thing I liked was when he tried to take the newspaper from the guy who was still reading it...."..But I have to...I was told to"...GREAT stuff!!!

One thing I noticed was the first two contestants both hugged the person who fired them and thanked them in a sincerely happy and excited manner...which REALLY threw the bosses off...The second two contestants didn't show any emotion, which I thought fell a little flat. But I loved the reactions of ALL the coworkers for all the contestants...

This show is a hoot...but I disagree, I think it will get better if they keep going at it...However, it can't really last too long, because it will become harder and harder to fool people as word gets out. Too bad, they should have filmed about 100 contestants before airing the show....

Really like this show!!! Reminded me of when my old boss took on a temp for 1 week for his secy and after 6 hours he was on the phone screaming. Since we lived in Funt land CA I started to look around for a hidden camera! Finally I asked her is this a Candid Camera show or what? She gave me the best airhead stare and asked me what a candid camera was? I explained it was a TV show and she started applying lipstick and fluffing her hair, asked why I didn't say we were on TV? Well, duh...

Marmosquirm, I have your O.C. tape ready to mail, and Tom forgot it when he left this morning, so I'll add the first part of "Your Fired" at the end for you. You'll love it!! I'll mail the tape out later this morning on my way to the shelter.

Riviere, I woke up this morning and Candid Camera popped into my mind. This show is an extended Candid Camera. It doesn't matter if you miss a show because the episodes are separate just as on Candid Camera.

And how great was it to see the commercial for BB!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooooooo Hoooooooo!!! I missed the very beginning of this since I was at a school function, but saw about 2/3 of it. It was really funny. A total candid camera stretch. How funny was it that the police were going to arrest the guy and he still was waiting to get fired! LOL Yep, good fluff until BB!!

Pamy, no she wasn't on yet. All I know is she will be on sometime in June. My daughter met her in Louisiana at work and then Merril moved to L.A. to try and be an .........Actor! Anyhow we are all excited to see her. She dark brown hair that is a little past her shoulders. My dd called her cell phone last night and there was a message saying ..."that if anyone loved Merril they would be watching CBS in June."

I thought it was pretty funny myself. I liked the guy the best, I thought he as gonna get his butt kicked though.

Pamy, he was my favorite too. I loved the reactions of his ex-coworkers when he went back at the end to tell them it was a tv show. Lol! The woman exclaiming "Uh! Uh! He's Back!!" and the young guy putting himself between them, getting ready to toss him out if necessary.

It was really funny to see what bosses would put up with on the first day!

This show really surprised me. I had no idea that so many managers would put up with so much before firing someone. And some of the managers were out right cowards, trying to send them home without telling them they were fired...LOL

This cracked me up. I tried to get dh to watch it, but nope. I also told him it reminded me of Candid Camera. I haven't lol at a whole tv show in a long time. The tiara wearing 'model' clerk was so ditsy I was amazed she couldn't get that manager to fire her before the 3 o'clock deadline. Hey, a $25 thousand prize for one days work is not too shabby either.

I was laughing so hard that my two dogs came to see what was up! When the guy in the coffee shop kept yelling at the customers and was told not to talk so loud that he was scaring people! I think you could watch it again and find more things to laugh at.

i wasnt even going to watch, just had it on as back drop noise, but once i saw what was going on, i was laughing so loud...soo funny... and one of the lines that had me going was when the one girl said she would get a doctors note for the dusting... we had a girl at my job that would get notes for every thing, so this killed me....im looing forward to the next one....and BB6 the most....cant wait...

Oh Chew... I forgot about the girl that needed the note so she wouldn't have to dust. Is she the one that tried on every hat in the store even though the manager hated when employees tried on the hats?

That girl was a trip, too, as was the one who pulled the "crazy" act. LOL She actually physically LOOKED different afterward when she went in with the camera crew to tell them they were on TV.
