Review: Fat Actress 101 – 107
Another short series on Showtime, spanning only 7 half hours. But it’s not the quantity that matter, nor is it the size of the actress. Since her debut on the silver screen (Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn) to her success on the small screen (Cheers, Veronica’s Closet), Kirstey Alley has grown into quite the fat lady. It’s not extreme, but it’s QUITE noticable. After Veronica’s Closet cancellation, she had 5 years to think about it, and the result is this amusing short series of semi-reality sitcom. As outrageous as she is in here, she’s not the least afraid of a bit of self-deprecating and racy humor. Her search for a big return on TV are filled with funny cameos, and the storylines are pretty decent. I would not object to another season, as the battle against her weight continues.
