If the Oxygen Network claims its mission is to bring women edgy and innovative entertainment, why is the network putting on bad shows like "The Bad Girls Club?"
The program is a waste
of time and tape that, to paraphrase the film "Billy Madison," makes "us all dumber for having watched it." A reality show in name only, the program is a cross between "Fear Factor" and the worst
seasons of "The Real World" and traffics in ugly stereotypes.
The tired clichés of party girls in crisis simply insults the intelligence. The endless shots of bikini-clad T&A is
mostly numbing. Worse still, the trade mag adds, it is "not just relentlessly crude and thuddingly repetitive," it commits the worst of all TV sins: "It's boring."
