Gavin P. Miller (Elon Gold) and Stuart Miller (Brian Scolaro) are brothers running a small bookstore. Gavin's book was a failure. Katrina (Marissa Jaret Winokur) is their coffee girl. Retired rocket scientist Professor Harold March (Christopher Lloyd) is a regular customer. One day, Skyler Dayton (Pamela Anderson) walks into the store. She's tired of her sex-filled broken relationships with bad boys. Gavin recruits Skyler to be his pretend girlfriend to make his ex-wife Charlotte jealous. To escape the temptations of hot guys, Skyler hires herself to work under the Miller brothers.This Pamela Anderson TV vehicle is able to show that she has workable charisma besides her ample bosoms and good looks. She holds her own delivering the hackney jokes and her character has good heart. Some of it is almost funny and Winokur is good at playing off of Anderson. The cast includes some functional TV actors and one bonafide legend. The situation is utterly manufactured. This is not the worst thing but I am surprised that it got two seasons on network TV. I guess the 5-episodes replacement first season worked just well enough to get a renewal. It's simply not good enough to keep going.

I saw two episodes of Stacked and I thought it wasn't too bad. it wasn't great, but it wasn't as terrible as others have made out. I am still baffled as to why Stacked had only lasted two seasons. okay, it wasn't laugh out loud funny, but some of the episodes cracked me up. it was MUCH better than that dross known as Courting Alex. Pamela Anderson did okay and i do feel as if in a sitcom, this is the ideal TV genre for her to demonstrate her comic potential. I thought Christopher Lloyd was funny and it was great to see him on the small screen, yet again, since his supporting role on Taxi.It's such a shame the network decided to cancel Stacked after two seasons, which was and is daft because it was one of the few shows, which was funny and yet still you see on TV sitcoms, which aren't funny but last more than 1, 2 even 7 or 8 seasons. It is sad to see a sitcom, as funny as this being treated and unappreciated as Stacked is by the network.In all, it was okay- it was nothing special but it wasn't by no means total crap ,as i would have liked to have seen 2 more seasons of this show.

Pamela Anderson has appeared in a lot of exploitation television. But, if you look at the producing credits, you realize she's the one doing the exploiting a vernacular Katherine Hepburn with a boob job.Stacked is excellently written, acted and directed. The punchlines are every last bit the equal of Get Smart, Green Acres, Night Court, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, Married: With Children, Seinfeld and Scrubs. Elon Gold and Brian Scolaro as Gavin and Stuart, the two nerdy brothers who run the bookstore, and Marissa Jaret Winokur as Katrina, the cute but chubby and insecure girl who tends the coffee counter, are first rate and would stand out on any other series. But here, there talents are matched by Pam as Skyler, the rocker girlfriend who decides to turn over a new leaf; the lady has a first rate sense of comedic timing. Then, as their irascible regular morning customer, throw in Christopher Lloyd, and you have a recipe for a half hour that guarantees a lot of chuckles and at least a half dozen outright belly laughs.In the pilot, Gavin's bitchy ex-wife comes in to torment him with news of her new boyfriend and is flabbergasted by hottie Skyler pretending to be Gavin's new flame. Non-plussed by Skyler's hands-all-over him familiarity, ex-wifey goes ballistic when she realizes her twelve year old son is so impressed by Skyler or certain large portions of her that he's lost the capacity to blink, close his mouth or hear his mother screaming at him that it's time to leave.A later episode begins with Skyler telling all of her co-workers that she loves them and proceeds to slapstick results, including a long-time unknown admirer of Stuart's coming forward. His mousey little redheaded stalked may be the funniest thing I've ever seen on television.Some critics of Ms Anderson, may say the lines are a little risqué for TV, but they're no worse than the "But, I've got hand." and reply of "Good, you're gonna need it." or shrinkage discussions from Seinfeld. What they are is unfailingly funny and often totally unforeseen. This is such a welcome relief from hit comedy series whose laugh track is the only way to tell that a joke must have been in the dialogue somewhere. There are only eighteen episodes so far, and already enough dynamite lines for the quotes page herein to require a warning for those of weak heart or with torso stitches.Best of all, it's one of the shows available on iTunes, so you needn't miss a single minute.

Seriously, skimming through the comments on this show made me laugh.I've finally found out who ACTUALLY watch shows like these and keep them running, for a whole 5 episodes or so.Still, this show is destined to be canceled sooner or later, lets make that sooner, the thought of Pamela Anderson in a sitcom, actually the thought of Pamela Anderson in ANYTHING, kind of brings a demeaning chuckle and smile out of everyone I meet.I could not agree more with that guy who said, "'Stacked' is exactly the kind of show you're more likely to see IN another show as a parody of a sitcom." That sums up the show in a clean, easy sentence.I'd rate this sitcom but... I just cant get myself to even give it a 1.
