We Loved it.. the characters seem to verbalise what you know they are thinking, but is normally edited out in the blanding of TV sitcoms. This show cuts through the hypocritical 'What matters is whats on the inside' rubbish pedalled by Hollywood's dull scripted interviewees and talk show gurus. Here we see what the real deal is, narrow minded, misogynistic men who haven't the imagination or the common sense to employ a funny woman 'coz she's funny'. And Alley has the guts to admit she hates being fat, at the same time as feeling it shouldn't hinder her career...and really there's no contradiction in that. Its not like a network show, its like HBO without the gloss. reminds me of the BBC's 'Absolutely Fabulous' or 'The office' painful to watch, but funny.
