I love it when I turn on the TV and find this show on. It is really so funny. The satire is great and Pam Anderson is wonderful at making fun of herself. The outfits she wears are outrageous, which just makes me smile even more. The plots are obviously thin, but it is meant to be fluff and fun to watch. I am a woman, but am not in the least offended by this show. The other females balance perfectly against Vallery's bumbling character. Good, no-brainer stuff.
"V.I.P." is a great pickup for Pamela Anderson since leaving her "Baywatch" days behind. Pam in this series runs a security group with other women who are hired mostly to protect stars and celebrities. Molly Culver is very strong in this series and very sexy also she makes a great partner to Pam. "V.I.P." is one of those great series that is different from many others making it one to watch.
This ("women in silly clothes with lots of gratuitous violence") was how Valerie Irons (Pamela Anderson) described a "movie" being made... obviously making fun of her own show. Truly, I always disliked Pam Anderson and have never really seen anything she's been in, but sometimes I am up very late and "V.I.P." is the only thing on. I expected to hate it, but instead found myself laughing at her [Pam Anderson's] antics. She is much funnier than I ever gave her credit for, and she, with this show, is really just making fun of herself. Who knew Ms. Anderson could be self-deprecating? This is not a show I would set my VCR to record, but if it's on and you're up, GO FOR IT! It's mindless, it's silly, but it can also be downright funny. Plus, it's great eye-candy. :-)
Like so many I know, I have little interest in any show with a high jiggle factor. I was prepared to hate V.I.P. I caught one episode to watch a guest star and found myself laughing and actually enjoying the show. V.I.P. comes at you on at least two different levels. On one, there is exciting action and uncomplicated plots typical of the A-Team: bad guys who do bad things always get caught by an eclectic team of good guys, each with special talents and rampant egos. On another level, there is glamour, glitz, ditz, jiggle, and jokes making fun of glamour, glitz, ditz, and jiggle, most at Miss Anderson's willing expense. I would recommend V.I.P. and ask that you give it a try. It's actually a fun show.
Everyone in this forum is so quick to criticize this show, but NO ONE here is putting the show in context! Not only is it no Law and Order, but they are not even trying to give that impression!
The show is all a spoof: It's spoofing Hollywood, It's spoofing bimbos, it's spoofing female cliches... Hell, it's even spoofing itself.
The point of the show is not to watch and analyze the characters' decisions! It is meant to be watched as a show making fun of itself.
You say that Val is stupid to do bodyguarding with High Heels? Well what would the show be like if she had dressed up in a skin-tight sexy suit which was perfect for bodyguarding?? Then the humor wouldn't be humor and Val wouldn't be Val. Where's the fun in that?
You people need to open your eyes, and watch this show with a lighter heart. If you want something slick with smooth people who just won't understand your jokes, then go watch the X-files!
