Almost Perfect

I liked this show. I thought it was very funny. The entire cast was great but I esp. liked Nancy Travis and Kevin Kilner. Very cute together. It was ashame to see it cancelled so soon but I guess all shows can't stay on long.

First you've got the Always Perfect Nancy Travis, a modern day Lucille Ball, with all her comedic genius, perfect timing, and cute looks. Why she isn't getting Meg Ryan parts is a mystery.

Then you have a setting which people haven't seen since the original Dick Van Dyke show--and which hasn't been handled as realistically and hilariously since.

Then you have a cast that's Also Perfect--from the nebbish played to perfection by Chip Zein, with his hilariously whining wife (whining has never been funnier than it was from Lisa Edelstein), to the kid from the mid-west (Matthew Letscher) who's trying to be hip with disastrous results, to the spaced-out writer played by David Clennon who's as far from Miles Drentel as he could be. And the love interest, the perfect straight men--Kevin Kilner.

Then you have the writing--which perfectly combines the awful truth about TV with hilarious dialog and a charming romance.

And the result is one of the best sit coms in years--which the network (in a display of bad-sense similar to what happens on the show itself) never gave enough exposure or time to gain an audience.

This is a show that could have fun for 7 years if the network had let it run for two. It could have run for years if Lifetime cable had picked it up. But for some unknown reason, they all let it drop, and the viewers are the losers.

Lifetime did show the entire series (including episodes that the network never aired) but they only did it one--so watch their schedule to see if they did it again.

This show was very funny in its first season, but then they got rid of Kevin Kilner and the show was just another run of the mill bad sitcom. The talent that remained was still very good, and they had a good chemistry, but the writing was far from inspired.

Love to buy a Dvd of the show, unfortunately, it was recorded on vcr, and the played died, so my question is why can one not get the dvd? I'd buy it at once. Very good show, pity its ended

Nancy Travis plays basically same character as what played in movie Vanished - woman what takes the initiative, has strong personality and will fight for his beloved and self.

Other 3 writers of TV show Blue Justice are very interesting figures, often over the top, but this is comedy, so it is part of that . And of course new boyfriend is something too.

Some reviews here claim that season 2 is much weaker because Kevin Kilner (playing the boyfriend) is not in it (except E1) . I don't agree with that. Actually there was pretty much conflict, fight between them 2, and something new was welcome by authors and me .

So, we had whole new situations, and humor was still great in big part.

Then, why it was cancelled after E10 of season 2 ? I mean, I don't think that so much was planned at start. Was it not much popular ? Well, possible. This is not for everyone. There was lot of self (Hollywood, TV shows) mockery overall . What was probably not liked by some on positions.
