    Totally hilarious

    I never understood why this extremely funny and wonderfully cast show wasn't a bigger hit. It really was very, very good. Too bad it didn't get the audience it needed to continue. Oh well. Jay Mohr was perfect in the lead, and Ileana Douglas is a treat. Cameos by Sandra Bullock and others were hilarious.

    Short lived

    This show was so funny I don't know why they (FOX) cut it off. This was such a hilarious look at Hollywood producers it boggled my mind. Jay Mohr makes a terrific lead as the main guy Peter Dragon, a guy who will do almost anything to get pictures made. Great fun, but shorter lived than a fly. Buddy Hackett got the most laughs from me as the crazy uncle. A+

    Best written show I have worked on.

    I've been working in Hollywood since 1990 and Action is hands down the best written show I've worked on. Jay and the other cast members kept us laughing on the set every day. Lee Arenberg was fantastic as the semi-closeted, ego maniacal Studio Head. Jack Plotnick, Jarrad Paul, Fab Filippo, Buddy Hacket, and Richard Burgi were all pleasure to work with and terrific in their roles. Don Reo, Chris Thompson, the Hamburger brothers and the other writers are every talented. Unlike many of the shows I've worked on, I was sad to see this one end. Too Hollywood? I don't think so. It just wasn't ever understood by Fox and was therefore poorly marketed. Watch it on DVD. It is still great.

    Funny as all get-out

    Wow! That's all you really need to say about this too-short-lived series.

    But since I have the space, let me say this too: I don't think a funnier satire exists or has ever existed on TV. I pray for the day an uncensored DVD is released - this show has me laughing my @ss off for just about the entire time I'm watching it. It's amazing that it ever got made at all, what with all the jokes ripping on the Hollywood community, and everyone gets an equal dose - producers, actors, writers, you name it, this show makes fun of it. Jay Mohr is funnier in this series than in anything else I've ever seen him do, and Ileana Douglas is, as always, fantastic.

    Watch it! And to the execs at Fox - put out the DVD, already!

    Ahead of its time

    If you like the current FOX TV series "Arrested Development" (perhaps even "Dream On") you would have liked FOX's "Action." Set in the intensely high-stress environment of Hollywood, this show had the same tone, feel and cynicism of "Arrested Development", but with humour a touch more risque - perhaps too risque for a 9:00 pm timeslot.

    Critically well-received with decent reviews, the show was also aired on Bravo's "Brilliant But Cancelled" showcase. "Action" was simply too edgy, too offensive, and too jaded for its time, with wickedly dark humour and remarkable wit. In time it would have found its audience, but the plug was pulled too soon.

    Those involved in the entertainment industry would, in particular, enjoy the loathsome humour and cynicism.

    Rumour has it, it may be released on DVD.

    • Quiz
      HBO wanted to pick up the series, but creator Chris Thompson and Joel Silver elected to go with Fox's higher-budgeted air order instead. Fox ended up airing only 8 shows before the series was canceled, with the remaining 5 episodes left to air on the FX cable network.
    • Versioni alternative
      In Latin America, the Sony Channel (Sony Entertainment Television) aired all the episodes that were filmed. In the U.S., Peter Dragon dies in the final episode, but (at least in Latin America) he continued production after that episode: he got back with Wendy, and learned that Adam Rafkin (the script writer) had previously sold the movie he was filming under a different title. Then Peter had to buy the script back, giving Wendy as a trade. In the end, Wendy left Peter and Hollywood after making him promise he would return all the money she had invested. In the final scene, Uncle Lonnie asks Peter if he wants to go home, and Peter asks Lonnie to take him to the studio, because "that's my home".
