Movie Stars

This show gets way too much flak. Sure, it is without a doubt inferior to sitcoms such as Friends, Seinfeld, and Drew Carey (to name a few), but with those shows in reruns (or finished) during the summer, having this show kept TV alive.

The concept alone made this show decent. While the bulk of people dislike the constant name-droppings and the appearances of Stallone, Swayze, and Travolta (that's Frank, Don, and Joey), I thought that was rather funny.

The acting wasn't anything special, with some exceptions. Harry Hamlin, an established dramatic actor, surprisingly comes off very funny. And Anne Haney's grandmother character was always around to be the wisecracker (for season 1; I was disappointed they didn't bring her back for season 2). Then, of course, there's the beautiful Marnette Patterson, whose air-headed daughter character was actually quite charming (just don't look for her to be on Dawson's Creek anytime soon - not that that's a bad thing).

I didn't catch every episode, but I wish I had.

This show is the best comedy on television. It is wonderfully acted and SO well written and...oops, I thought this was the message board for F*R*I*E*N*D*S. Anyway since I'm on the Movie Stars board, I might as well put my two cents in. This show is the absolute...WORST "comedy" I have ever seen! These writers cannot think of any good jokes besides those godawful celebrity namedroppings? And the cast? The show shouldn't be called Movie Stars, rather a more appropriate title would be Acting Class. Especially Marnette Patterson. That girl is the typical "California-Girl-Blonde-Airhead" stereotype (BTW, she just makes us Californians look bad because that label is so untrue). Oh! Wait, it's seven o'clock. Time to watch F*R*I*E*N*D*S...now it's time for a real comedy.

while Movie Stars may not be the best comedy show ever made it does deserve to be given a chance to find its feet. Movie Stars has got to be one of the best new comedys I've seen in the last year and I would give it a solid 8 out of 10 thats only because its a bit dated by the time its aired here in NZ.

This shows pretty funny. The celebs brothers are funny as well. Its good for a laugh if you can't watch anything better. Its a good concept. It almost makes you think celebs lives were as fun and interesting as this.

Like Unhappily Ever After, Movie Stars has only one good reason to watch......the supporting female character! Like Nicki Cox, Marnette Patterson is the only reason to keep watching.

A thirty minute comedy that's twenty seconds funny, Movie Stars tries too hard to be a hit. Marnette Patterson plays the role of the shows "Eye candy." Without her, the series wouldn't have made it past its pilot episode.

I give 3 out of 10 stars, giving all 3 stars to Marnette Patterson.
