Fat Actress
Um. This show had some really funny moments, sure. But it wasn't groundbreaking, as all of the advance press would have you think.
It's clear Showtime wants you to see this show. The network was free for the weekend before and day-of the show, plus Yahoo runs the show online for the rest of this week.
But it's just okay. It's filled with Scientologists and other "heavy" actors (John Travolta, Mayim Bialik) plus some way over-the-top schmacting by Kirstie Alley.
I agree with the EW review at CNN.com:
[T]he huge problem with Fat Actress is that it isn't about a fat actress at all: It's about a crazy woman and her enablers.
Not having Showtime, I won't be seeing more of this series. But I think that's probably okay with me.
