Wow....did Marie Osmond luck out when "Marie" was not approved as a weekly series. Instead, it only aired once and I hope no one watched it because it was that bad!
Marie stars as a very naive Midwesterner who has moved to New York City and now lives with kooky roommates. Again and again, Marie gets robbed...mostly because she is too trusting as well as a bit dim.
So why was this such a bad show? Well, the show simply tried TOO hard. It had a louder than usual laughtrack, supporting characters who shouted their lines (as well as being caricatures), Marie occasionally shouting her lines, as well as one who was a nasty racist...not 'cute' like Fred Sanford, George Jefferson or Archie Bunker...just a racist with nasty things to say.
The only reason I don't score it lower is that I actually laughed once. I am not sure why...but it couldn't be 100% bad.
