Courting Alex

I like Jenna Elfman, but the downfall of this show is that she plays a character that most women cannot possibly identify with. Tall, skinny and lovely may appeal to the male audience, but if Elfman would eat a couple sandwiches, put on a few pounds, that may have helped her case with the female audience.

Also, she got together with the guy too quickly. There was no wooing stage, no build-up (like Cheers' Sam and Diane). And the guy wasn't even all that appealing.

I truly hope that Elfman gets another sitcom opportunity, perhaps as a costar or part of an ensemble cast. I'm not sure she has what it takes to carry a show on her own.
