I agree. The only way this would be fun is if you could actually get your frustrations out on the game when forced to watch the show with your wife/gf/significant other.

What's sad is that no guy will want to buy this game, and there are not enough women out there that play games to justify spending money making a game like this. The end result is an instant bomb.
