So let's talk about Selfie.
It's a retelling of the My Fair Lady story with a modern twist. I like that. It's a classic story that SHOULD be on TV. I love Karen Gillan (Doctor Who, Guardians of the Galaxy)and John Cho (Star Trek, Sleepy Hollow, all those raunchy comedies)from their previous works. Their both talented and genuinely funny people.
So why such low ratings? Why don't people like this? First off, THE NAME. If you're going to name a sitcom, don't call it a word that a large percentage of the population can't stand. Secondly, THE LANGUAGE. Gillan's character Eliza talks like a middle-school girl, which some viewers find extremely obnoxious.
Me? I'm only find it mildly obnoxious, probably because I like Gillan so much. Right now it's decent. But I feel like as the show moves forward and Cho's character makes Eliza more likable, it has the potential to be a genuinely great show.
The question is how long is ABC going to let it do that?
