Stacked

Pamela Anderson hits a home run with this show. She is very comfortable as this character, and this ensemble works perfectly together along with consistent writing. A very simple set-up, using almost exclusively one setting, dialog is fresh and funny without being busy or repetitive. All characters are well-played by confident staff. This is a quintessential example of a situation-comedy: not preachy, not pushy, not offensive, and not boring. Unusually fresh and relaxed, it is a pleasure and true enjoyment to watch. Too bad people will remember Anderson for 2nd rate products like "VIP", and a shining performance like this goes largely unknown.

I'm the kind of person who likes strong ensemble comedies with wit and the occasional farce, like "Frasier", "Taxi", "Seinfeld", "Everybody Loves Raymond", etc.. So when I heard about "Stacked", I had my doubts as to how funny it could be. Pamela Anderson...is it possible for her to be intentionally funny? I figured I would watch the first episode if, for nothing else, to see the genius of Christopher Lloyd and the spunk of Marissa Jaret Winokur. They did not disappoint, and the show had me laughing out loud in bits where those actors weren't even present.

Basically, this is a surprisingly smart show. Anderson has the ability to poke fun at herself and not take everything so seriously. She knows she's not Olivier, and she doesn't try to be something she isn't. Maybe that's why I found the character so endearing. Winokur has great delivery, and a gift for physical comedy. Scolaro and Gold are deft comedians, who know how to wring the humor out of their lines and expressions. Lloyd is great and proves he can still make you laugh without even opening his mouth. His slightly grumpy retired physicist character is the perfect foil to everyone else.

If you come into watching this show with an open mind, you'll like it. If you come into it with a hatred for all things Pamela Anderson, you could easily find yourself surprised at her charm and the wit of the show. If your head is so far stuck up your butt in your prejudices, then you wouldn't like this, even if it were Oilivier performing "Hamlet". Bottom line: this show is a lot better than the unfunny formula comedies littering the airwaves right now ("Joey", "Freddie", basically anything where the title is someone's name) and has a strong cast, solid acting, witty writing and the potential to be a great show.

I think people should give this show a chance, because it's really funny! The show contains a great combination of funny characters, who you learn to know very quickly. Pamela Anderson also plays pretty good as Skyler Dayton, this blonde party girl who suddenly starts working at a book store, from what she has very little experience. Of course a lot of people think that this is just a shallow sitcom men watch just to see Pamela Anderson, but it has so much more.

It's like a combination of Cheers, "Step by Step", Becker and "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place". Pamela's role reminds a little of Suzanne Somers when she plays the mom in "Step by step", Christopher Lloyd who plays Harold, the bitter older man who's there always, got the attitude of Becker, and the brothers are a little like the two guys in "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place". They are brothers, but they are very different from each other and not exactly best friends. The whole atmosphere is a little like the atmosphere in Cheers. It also has some things in common with "Friends", like when they are slandering the funny customers in the store, and sometimes even dating them.

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.

if you have ever seen pam anderson act or seen "VIP", you probably didn't expect much, however there's not a whole lot of comedy shows left since the onslaught of reality shows, so i decided to watch this show and see if it was any good. i was pleasantly surprised. i found it charming, funny and witty.

pamela plays a party girl at a crossroads in her life, takes a left turn and ends up at a quaint bookstore run by two brothers. her character's insight into life ends up superseding her supposed ditziness, usually playing foil to the the male characters straight-laced, narrow vision and lack of experience.

some may feel the laugh-track overbearing, but that's like saying her boobs get in the way of the humor. it just doesn't. finally, the writing really deserves some applause. with fresh, sharp writing, a popular lead and a solid cast, this show should do well. i hope both the audience and the network gives this show a chance
