Good idea lost in the noise

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I don't understand or like this show at all. It's not funny at all and not only that but I just don't get what they are even trying to do. What is supposed to be interesting or funny about this show? I think the actors are fine but the writing and idea are so terrible they just have nothing to work with. This show is a real head scratch maker. Hate it a lot.

I had high hopes for this series and after watching the first episode, I thought that the writers were at least attempting to address some of the issues facing working mothers. There were moments when I laughed simply because it was so much like my own life. The work/life balance parts were, more often than not, trying to point out the struggle we working moms face when we return to work after maternity leave. But the rest is so poorly written, snarky and mean that I just can't watch anymore. Episode after episode, it is full of lazy dialogue and stereotypes that should have disappeared long ago. Why are the stay-at-home moms continually ridiculed and made the butt of almost every joke? This is NOT how working moms behave. We struggle and we aren't perfect but we are not like this selfish, privileged and childish group of women. I am exactly the demographic that this show is trying to attract, but it has lost me. Maybe the downtown Toronto set can relate to this, but not the rest of us trying to raise kids, manage a full-time job and keep a household running on a middle class income.

I love this show I can identify with almost every character. It's raw about mother hood, about tough topicsituation most shows do not want to cover like ppd, losing your identity etc. It's also very funny I wish it was here in the USA so others could enjoy it also. And if your a man posting a review saying you don't get it or its not funny, it's because your not a mother! You can't relate because nyou have not been through giving birth, raging hormones, breastfeeding etc. So leave this show alone and go watch a sports channel. Rant over

This show is almost complete garbage in my opinion. "Workin' Moms" just fails to work on almost every level. I give it a generous 2 out of 10 and I would go all the way and give it a 1 out of 10 and say it is total garbage unless that other show "Second Jen" (or is it maybe "2nd Jen"?) existed, which is somehow a hundred times worse than "Workin' Moms".Anyway the writing is stupid, pathetic, unfunny, predictable... the kind of level of comedy writing one may expect from a middle school acting team making up sketches at lunch hour in the cafeteria, nothing approaching professional at all, nor even "somewhat funny." It's just all garbage.Too frequently they rely on sexist and racist stereotypes, and even then the jokes aren't just archaic and unfunny they just plain don't work, are unoriginal, and you know exactly where the joke is going long before it gets there.The acting is also just plain awful, and not just the "Workin' Moms" themselves. It's like the casting director was directed to find the worst possible people to build a show around. Even the supporting characters are just annoying to watch.Oh yeah, Baroness Von Sketch is also terrible (but better than this swill)... what is wrong with CBC and why can't they make one decent comedy show?
