'Free Radio' Sorely In Need Of Jack Bauer-Style Fatal Neck-Snappings To Liven Things Up
To be honest, we don't exactly "get" VH1's latest "comedy" Free Radio—it comes off like some ill-conceived, pitchroom fever dream in which network execs were somehow slipped peyote pills in their Diet Cokes before being sold on a cross between Yo on E! and The Office, as hosted by a young Gilbert Gottfried. Still, the show managed to score some impressive talent for the debut episode:
none other than beloved Eastside mascot Kiefer Sutherland, in what might be his first national TV appearance since jail. They don't mention when it was taped, but we'll put our chips on prior to his incarceration, as the hot topic of the day is the Lost Boys sequel controversy that riveted a nation last summer, a springboard for the show's irritating host to make unfunny observations about how Kiefer's face reminds him of Jeffrey Dahmer's. All hail the conquering writers, if it means shuffling this crap off the air.
