    I read the reviews here when deciding whether or not to give this a try, and I came to the conclusion that I had to see for myself what was going on. I'm glad I did.Maybe it's because I went in thinking that it might be horrible that I was so relieved it was the opposite. More or less pretty funny throughout, with moments of genius and rarely, maybe a few jokes per episode that would drag on 20 seconds too long. There are also stupid jokes, which I would normally despise, but I tend to find them funny in this. I guess they're doing them better. I have no idea what the negative reviews are talking about. So if you're worried about perspective, I'm male, I'm straight, and I have fairly high standards for comedy and I'm looking forward to watching the other half of the episodes!I can only reason two theories about the wildly negative reviews; 1) They are planted to make you want to check for yourself and go in with low expectations, or 2) Some people actually believe what they see on TV is real - a thought which is absolutely terrifying... Oh I also had to rewind fairly often so I could read the screen captions, because usually when I do it's worth it.

    Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan clawed their way to national attention largely through the unprecedented word-of-mouth success of their web- based The Katering Show. If this follow-up project is any indication, their ultimate goal in this enterprise was to eventually squander that goodwill through an ill-conceived and unpleasant "satire" of media values. Even accounting for difficulty in adapting to a half-hour format, the hit-and-miss results of Get Krack!n might be considered charming if the duo hadn't decided to adopt an incessantly preaching tone throughout. In the place of disarming humour, each episode is dominated sour judgments of predictable PC targets, often delivered sneeringly directly to camera. The overall effect is nasty and unredeeming.

    A lot of Naughty words and slapstick overwhelm the sparse satire on morning shows .The invitation to fear stuff for example . And get your body horror going . Needs new script writers and to get over reproduction and excretion .yes we re free to say anything but if it's not funny or factual what's the point ?. The occasional gem but basically the same joke every week . : Isn't it funny having a vagina ?

    Having watched (suffered) 3 whole episodes, I can safely say I won't be watching a 4th. I gave it a second chance (twice).The premise is that Kate McLennan and Kate McCartney are the hosts of a "daytime" magazine show so bad that it's on at 3am. The show-within-a- show has cheap production values, and the two hosts clearly dislike presenting it, as evidenced by their constant complaining, lack of professionalism and bad language.The funniest (using that term in its very broadest sense) item was an advert for a machine that cooks a single egg at a time. That was in episode 1. In episode 2 there was an equally useless gadget, but the idea was beyond absurd and simply not funny. And clearly they had given up making adverts because none appeared in episode 3.The two Kates treat their guests with disdain, barely listening to answers and not really formulating coherent or intelligent questions. In better hands, this programme COULD have been funny, but it's simply not. The gag that the show is bad wore very thin in episode 1. Having opted for a 30-minute format (for 'our' show and 'their' show), it leaves little opportunity to actually skewer the many essentials of daytime TV - diet tips, fitness, gossip, celebrity interviews, competitions, fashion, etc. The real shows recycle these elements day in, day out. This show doesn't even attempt to do one of them per week.The "Katy Perry" episode worked on no level at all. It was obvious that Katy Perry wouldn't appear in 'our' show, let alone 'their' show, so it was a long 30 minutes of one gag that she was "on her way", when clearly she wasn't.Absolutely nothing about the show rings true. The stupidity of the hosts, the constant spelling mistakes in the hosts' names, the 'interns' who provide elements of the show - it all just fall flat.The show has no redeeming values. None.
