Unhitched, Unfunny

by Toni

unhitched5.jpgI watched the series premiere of Unhitched, which aired Sunday at 9:30 pm ET on Fox. The premise of the show is four recently divorced friends who are trying to make their way in the world of dating.

I’m sorry, but its just not for me. The entire point of the show seems to be about people (and animals) having sex. I’m no prude, really, but I have an issue with comedies that can’t find anything to be funny about other than sex. I really don’t think that people, normal non-Hollywood people, think about sex that much. OK, maybe 17-year old boys do, but the rest of us really don’t. Do we?? I’m fairly certain that in the past five years, I haven’t thought about sex as much as they did in that 20 minutes.

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but back when I was single - in the Paleozoic era - people who weren’t married didn’t just have sex with anyone they met. Our entire and sole purpose in life was not just to meet someone with whom to have sex. Don’t people ever just want to meet people for companionship, friendship, love?

There are many silly, crazy and funny things that happen to all of us, each and every day, that have absolutely nothing to do with sex. Why can’t they make a comedy without continuously referring to sex and sexual issues. If you didn’t see Unhitched, certainly, you should check it out for yourself. You can see the entire ep on Fox (you may have to install their new player first). Or just wait and catch the second ep this Sunday. I hear it’s better than the pilot, but I doubt I’ll bother to watch. I only have so much time in my life and I don’t want to waste it all on garbage TV.

But if you do watch it, if you are like me, you’ll probably be asking yourself why am I watching this? And also asking all those who are responsible for making sitcoms, why can’t you find us something else to laugh about?
