Not Perfect Couples: Not So Perfect

"Perfect Couples" is a new romantic comedy sitcom on NBC - and I look forward to it being cancelled.
The show features a random cast going about the idea of what a perfect couple really is and how they relate to each other.

Now I have only watched the first episode but from seeing the ratings since the premiere, I am quite convinced it isn't going to last on television much longer. The first five minutes of the premiere episode was interesting, seeing how different types of couples interact in the same situation of women hogging the bed -- but after that, the plot, the acting and the humor went downhill.

Now the reason I initially was intrigued by this show was because the cast includes Olivia Munn - once seen on Attack of the Show on G4 - and I was dismayed that her character is unlikable and that any acting talent I have seen from her didn't show in this performance. 

The rest of the cast is similar by the lack of acting as well as lacking the portrayal of a real character that somehow isn't insulting to both the male and female genders. I hope the next romantic comedy sitcom that NBC tries will not be similar to this one.
