The Curseis a TV show about trying to make a TV show.
UnlikeFixer Upper,The Curseis no two-hander.
People are really going to be dreaming about being with you, Dougie whispers in Whitneys ear.
In reality, if the show ever makes it to air, audiences will be making fun of her.
I curse you, she tells him.
She looks pretty serious about it.
Hes a bad sound-bite machine; he lacks Chip Gainess aw-shucks manners.
Monica, for her part, does not completely shoot him down.
Its hard to say which of the seriess burgeoning subplots have legs.
Will it ever matter that Whitneys morally corrupt dad, Paul, bankrolled the couples early property investments?
(A food I will never experience the same.)
Imagine for a second thatFixer Upperwas directed by a guy who really wanted to make music videos.
Whitneys dismayed at the TV magic, but TV directors should be taking notes.
Its even unclear how large the curse itself will loom over the Siegels fate.
She sends him out to find the little girl, restore the money, and reset their karma.
Close enough, I guess.
If the curse isnt real, who cares?
But if it is, lying about it will surely increase its power.
I was watching Land of Enchantment on my laptop when my husband walked into the room.
It just represents it so perfectly that you have to (inaudibly) laugh from embarrassment.
In a way, its better than funny; it reveals the joke.
Perhaps the seriess best joke so far are the houses themselves.
But thats only when youre standing far away from her so-called invisible houses.
But thats not really how showbiz works; its not a public service.
