I really wanted to enjoy this. I love watching William Shatner.The host opens up quite well but immediately descends into profanities.Each 'comic' guest takes his or her turn to insult William Shatner, although one or two of them simply stand up and crack one-liners with no reference to 'Bill' whatsoever.Maybe I expect too much, but when many of them get up clasping pieces of paper and proceed to read their lines.I'm afraid if they aren't naturally funny then they shouldn't be there.I'm no comedian BUT I bet I could get on a stage and knock out 5 or more 'Star Trekkie' or 'TJ Hooker' anecdotes without much bother, and without the need to swear every other word.Many shots of the audience catch many of them frowning or simply shaking their heads in disbelief.The 'gay' references were unbelievable; once they started they never stopped.The whole programme deteriorated into what can only be described as school-boy humour. (Mind you most school boys would rise above this). I would describe most of the comments as infantile.If you don't mind cringing along with a bunch of has-beens or wannabees's, then watch it. Otherwise, give it a wide berth, I felt embarrassed for them.Many of the other reviews make fun of the Chevy Chase 'roasting' because he apparently didn't play ball, and didn't 'get' the humour.Maybe he did 'get' the humour and realised that maybe his career hadn't deteriorated to such a point that he had to put himself up for ridicule.The bit that really lingers about this crass production is the constant references to gay activity. It was unnecessary and simply served to highlighted the guests own short-comings.It's the first time I've heard of the guest Andy Dick or Cox. whatever, but what an absolute loser he portrayed himself to be.Really….I mean really...give this a miss. Cheap shots, cheap and crude humour. Expect more.
