blanche-2 I'm not as shocked as other reviewers because I had heard this show was good for a long time before renting it on Netflix.Tori Spelling sends up Tori Spelling in a hilarious comedy that also stars Zach Quinto in the days when he was Zachary, as her gay friend, Sasan, James Carpinello as her roommate Pete, Loni Anderson as Mrs. Spelling, Brennan Hesser as Janey, and Cleo King as Tori's old nanny. Spelling dishes herself."I make my own money," she says defensively. Then in a smaller voice, "Acting on my father's TV show." When asked why she doesn't want to be alone, why she's so weird about getting gifts, why this, why that, there is a flashback to little Tori (Ariel Winter) and her ditsy mother which tells the story, then back to Tori in the present, saying off-handedly, "I don't know." No subject is off-limits. Trying to get out of a stuck limousine, Quinto says, "There are only two inches to get out. Tori, run for help." "You're better looking in person. Have you had more stuff done?"The best is when she decides to send a video to Steven Soderbergh to be considered as a serious actress and try out for a role as a woman going after a Brazilian gang to save her sister from sex slavery. While in the sex shop buying props, Sasan tells her Shannon Doherty is there, and Tori hits the ground like the place is being bombed. Ultimately she makes the tape and some of Soderbergh's people give it to him as a birthday gift and laugh out loud. You see Tori in a leather bra and panties with a whip in her hand, acting tough.Loni Anderson is fabulous as is the rest of the cast, but it's really nice to see her in a good role.This very funny show was canceled when Spelling's life became more complicated - her father passed away, she became pregnant, and moved on to other projects. It's a shame.

Jerry (Nglas) Okay, this show is fantastic. I beg everyone to watch it once and I promise you will be hooked. The chemistry between the cast is fantastic and it shows up on screen. Tori Spelling is perfect playing herself, she is not afraid to make fun of herself. A side-note, her gay best friend, is absolutely fantastic. He is no token gay guy, equipped with killer lines, a hot face, and a great talent for scene stealing. But watch for the character Janey, as she is probably the best in the show. Armed with lines not seen since Karen from Will and Grace, this girl is hands down the reason I watch the show. (but the entire cast is why I love it)

gafrem Immediately became one of my must-see's. A blend of comedic timing, good acting and writing together with enough truism's of real life-and the hint of reality-thrown in. Ms. Spelling is not afraid to surround herself with talented actors and share the spotlight.She pokes fun at every aspect of herself, her life and past experience, but the genius is that at the same times she's broken out of the typecast...She has proved, thus far, that she can be a strong part of the creative process that yields great television.Surprised? Yes. Now an admirer? Yes. Keep the laughs coming, Greg

omegaknight_d This is the greatest scripted, live action comedy to hit TV in years. The timing, the stories, the delivery and yes the TORI are all spot on and perfect. Special mention should go to the genuine report Anthony Quinto (Sassan) and Tori have together... it's so realistic it's scary. This show should be viewed and praised by the masses. Loni Anderson has never been involved with a better project. This show is relentlessly hysterical. Tori Spelling is a goddess and a brilliant actress and this is all stuff I never thought would escape my lips. Swithc it to VH1 every Sunday and get your long hot doses of Ms.Spelling and the gang poking fun at everyone and everything to go through Hollywood. -Tori turn down your nipples so I can hear you!- Love SO NOTORIOUS!!!!!
