Title: Watch the Show; Pass on the CD
Product review: The bottom line is that, while I chuckled a few times, it's just not that funny. The key flaw to this project is its success: It seeks to parody the cheesy variety shows of the 70s, and it's eerily successful--WAY too successful. All it did was bring back horrible nightmares of "Donny and Marie," "Sonny and Cher," "Mandrell Sisters," etc. (the f-bombs aside, of course). If they're going to parody something, parody it; don't become it. The musical numbers themselves I found forgettable, and it's unfortunate that they decided to release this project instead of a CD of the show's musical numbers (a la "Simpsons in the Key of Springfield"). Gratned, musical taste--like comedic taste--is subjective; all I can say is that I think the show is hilarious, and this CD is not.
