What I heard were excuses, rationales without substance, and a whole lot of whining. And that's one of the few things I agree with Trump about: I'm sick of all the whining.

More disappointing, the criticisms of Trump from the sister and the other cast members were incredibly weak, which from a comedic standpoint left little opportunity for an effective foil. There was no repartee, no challenging dialog.

I turned it off about 40 minutes into the hour. I'll not be back.
