What happens

Work It is an American television sitcom that aired on ABC from January 3 to January 10, 2012. Set in St. Louis, the series is about two men who must dress as women in order to keep a job in a bad economy. The series was universally panned by critics. The series premiere was watched by an American audience of 6.16 million. After the show attracted controversy from advocate groups, particularly in the LGBTQ+ community, ratings dropped to 4.9 million viewers in the second episode, and the series was cancelled by ABC on January 13, 2012, after two episodes aired, following another attempt at a "man-cession" comedy called Man Up!, which failed earlier in the season.
