 Life on a Stick | PopMatters Television Review
Life on a Stick has a laundry list of problems -- off the top of my head, jerky pacing, canned laughter, derivative premises, and a total lack of charismatic performers -- but they all stem from one overarching flaw: the scripts are flailing.
Maybe Life on a Stick's sucking is actually way meta, intended as a window onto the emptiness of our collective fabricated fast-food existence.
The American Idol voting results lead-in to Life on a Stick's debut carried over 20 million viewers; Life on a Stick lost more than half of them and was soundly beaten by the debut of NBC's The Office.

 New shows 'Office,' 'Stick' and 'Farrah' | www.azstarnet.com ®
"Life on a Stick" isn't a landmark comedy, but it is offbeat enough to distinguish itself from the same-old sitcoms that generally show up around this time each year.
TV Land's cameras follow Farrah Fawcett in her daily life, which, despite that one appearance with David Letterman (Fawcett jokes about it), is not as wacked-out as you might expect.
Fawcett acknowledges that she hates reality shows, and though she can't articulate why she's doing one, she says 'My whole life is a reality show," with all the paparazzi that continue to dog her.

 One of two new Seattle-based TV shows won't prove an embarrassment
And I'm not sure whether Fox's so-called comedy "Life on a Stick," premiering Thursday night at 9:30 on KCPQ/13, or the infinitely better "Grey's Anatomy," an ABC medical drama premiering at 10 p.m.
But the scribes aren't uttering these zingers, "Life on a Stick's" generic, by-the-numbers cast is. And the actors take this middling-to-decent script and subsume it in a bland, flavorless sauce of sitcom delivery, pummeled into shape by forced laugh tracks.
On top of that, "Life on a Stick's" claimed setting in Seattle -- a fact that, thank you very much, no character dwells upon in the pilot -- delivers an extra cringe, if only for what it implies about our culture and style.

I wanted a job at Hot Dog on a Stick because the homogenized world of McDonald’s, convenience stores and malls has always fascinated me. When I was in high school I worked at the public library, which was fine; I got to page through books all day and never had to take orders from customers.

Despite an unpleasant title that brings to mind a coarse, scatological admonition to someone with a compulsive personality (or maybe savage headhunters), Fox's new sitcom "Life on a Stick" (9:30 tonight) is a light, breezy show.
TV Land's cameras follow Farrah Fawcett in her daily life, which, despite that one appearance with David Letterman (Fawcett jokes about it), is not as whacked-out as you might expect.
Fawcett acknowledges she hates reality shows, and though she can't articulate why she's doing one at the moment, something else she says might explain it: "My whole life is a reality show, all the time" with all the paparazzi that continue to dog her.
