What We Think

A time capsule from before "woke" became the norm, "Attack of the Show!" is refreshingly non-woke, focused on geek culture without heavy-handed messaging or identity politics. Mostly harmless, and a reminder of simpler, less ideological entertainment.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Attack of the Show!" was focused on pop culture, tech news, and internet trends, its light-hearted format didn't push identity-based storytelling or cast for representation over comedic or entertainment value. The show prioritized irreverence and chemistry over ticking diversity checkboxes, so any intrusion of ideology was minimal to nonexistent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely operated within mainstream cultural norms of the mid-2000s. Masculinity and femininity were played mostly for laughs, with traditional gender roles both represented and gently satirized, but there was no real attempt to undermine family, religion, or societal norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints weren’t really the focus, this was more geeky variety hour than soapbox. While not a bastion of pluralism, the show avoided mocking traditional perspectives or shoving any particular worldview. Any hint of monoculture was more a function of genre than ideology.
