Didn't think I liked Pam Anderson, Dec 22 2008

I avoided this (and VIP, and ...) because they had Pam Anderson in them. Not that I had anything against her, per se, but I have a penchant for avoiding things done by media stars, like, her, Britney, Christina, Paris, ad nauseum. In my past experiences, these folks have been much ado about nothing.
Still, in my search for the funniest (either intentionally or unintentionally) movie ever made I came across this series, and, having loved Blacks Books decided to give it a try. Boy am I glad I did.
This show is hilarious. Pam is very funny, with a good sense of comedic timing, and is the butt (pun intended) of most of the jokes. The supporting (another pun) cast is very good, headed by Christopher Lloyd who is, as usual, brilliant.
After enjoying this I moved on to VIP, which is also very good.
Who would have guessed?

Pam's Folly, Dec 25 2006

Pamela Anderson's poke at herself, intelligence and literature is in full bloom with the complete series of Stacked.
Anderson plays Skyler Dayton who is a groupie/party girl who gets a job at a small coffeehouse book store run by two brothers Gavin (a failed author) and Stuart (an oversexed , lazy do-nothing). Their coffee clerk Katrina rounds out the staff.
This short lived series was a cute sitcom with Anderson playing a stereotype of herself. With mismatched pairing of Elon Gold and Brian Scalaro are the two odd couple owners, thjey seem to play straight man to Anderson. Marissa Jaret Winokur steals every scene she is in as the coffe clerk Katrina. Rounding out the cast is Christopher Lloyd (yes, Back to the Future's Doc Brown) as the book store's favorite patron, a Retired Rocket Scientist.
With all the televised episodes and five unaired episodes, this show is cute. It does not play down to the audience.
Too Bad FOX TV again missed the mark and didnt give the cute show a real chance. It died before it found an audience

Surprisingly, this was a very funny show. Its episodes were well-written and Pamela was quite comedic. Not suprisingly, the network cancelled the show. It seems that if a good show doesn't rate in the Top Ten during its first airing, it's immediately dropped off the list. Very, very sad for TV shows... Note to networks: this is why I don't watch much television.
