Sunset Tan

As the previous reviewers have mentioned, this show is an embarrassment to the USA. I'm American, but have lived in enough other countries to know their opinions of us "yanks". This show will do NOTHING but validate those judgements! This show is so completely pointless. I don't understand how something that is so degrading to humans in general could be kept on the air. And how can a mother drag her 7 year old to a tanning salon (against her will) to get a tan for a school picture?? Don't even get me started on the Olly girls, a complete waste of the Earth's oxygen, two girls resembling oompa loompas who are DESPERATE for attention. I can't possibly believe that they are actually as stupid as they act, I'm sure it's all for show, which is even more pathetic. I wanted to move to L.A. before I saw this show, and now I'm thinking more and more that I should move to NY...

Hilarious. Simply hilarious.

If anyone stops to look at this program for a few moments, it's easy to tell that this is a show about male entrepreneurs who've found another shallow hole to keeping some folks chasing after that "forever beauty" - this time with indoor tanning. It'll be no big surprise that "Sunset Tan" will be a mere passing-fad, an afterthought in a year or two. But for now, sit back and watch the fun.

Come on. You know this show hasn't any social redeeming value whatsoever. It's entrepreneurial greed for two middle aged men; it's superficial young folks just starting to work and learning a bad things about business along the way and quick beauty for those who chase after that sort of thing. Of course, it HAS to be in Los Angeles/Las Vegas so folks in other states can point and say "I told ya so!". (Turst me, there are decent families and young adults in both places, this is just a very small segment of people.)

What makes this "reality-bit" somewhat entertaining is watching these superficial folks trying to convince an audience of 'running a business' with the 'private lives' of these ultra fake human beings. Not many people who view are that dense. It's simple: There are those who think being a bit darker makes them more beautiful and will pay for the quick fix, just like BOTOX, et al. Bully for them - until the next fad comes along and these folks will move over and jump to that - just like sheep. The folks working their lives are about as interesting as anything else without substance and meaning.

And the managers? They've got to be kidding if they think that running a Sunset Tan store is akin to being Store Manager at...lets say...WalMart. In other words, increasing Sunset Tan's sales are nothing to loose sleep over. It's a niche market, small and select clientèle. That's why the window for sales opportunity is narrow-and its best to get young, empty headed, oblivious pretty young adults to buy into it. WalMart, well...ya know.

What I do enjoy about Sunset Tan: the 'Olly' girls (Molly and Holly). Only reason I watch. Without them - crappy show. You know what Molly and Holly are about. No pretension at all. And yes, I vote they should get their own show.

Everyone should watch if they do get their own show (you know they will!). You'll learn a very valuable lesson: Doesn't matter how much education you have, how much experience you have - let those two dim bulbs step in to your place of employment -- and someone's job security is crap. The employer who'll hire them will always find SOMETHING for them to do. They will always take credit for someone else's work as their own. They are the ones that will ALWAYS get a "new title" or "promotion". Stop wondering why - you'll SEE why on this show.

Try not to take yourselves TOO seriously Sunset Tan...if all we like are the "olly" girls...you know what's going to happen next.

Here's my view on the show...I'll have to agree with lots of people, it is full of orange-tanned, bleached out, fake looking people with lots of drama. But, not to stay that makes it horrible. The first time I watched this show, I was thinking wow...way too much drama. But somehow I kept watching it, wanting to see what happens next (I'm sure that's what gets lots of people sucked into reality shows). I hate to admit it, but I'm amused to watch what stupid things the Olly girls do, who gets fired, who cheats on who, etc. And I watch to see who I will hate in each episode. Plus, I love the LA beach scene (which is what made me watch it in the first place).

Bottom line, this show isn't one of TV's finest...but it's very amusing and it keeps me watching, not because it's a good show but because the drama can become addictive. And for all the people saying "what has TV come to", and these people need to literally die (just a little harsh), nobody's forcing you to watch it. And if everybody had the same opinion as you, then they wouldn't even have it on.

someones begging for attention, histrionic much?.... you can't be serious.... malignant melanoma is very rare, and genetic. A healthy tan actually helps prevent damage from the sun. excessive tanning can be problematic but the only real damage is burning. If someone tans regularly their skin develops a shield, if you will, it adapts to the UVA and UVB rays.

as for the show, its delightful, for some reason i don't know why. maybe its because "the Olly girls" are so completely useless and entertainingly dense. and the owners are bad asses. what the hell is this 10 line nonsense this is very irritating, i don't much plan again on commenting on this site again, just plain ridiculous.

This might be the absolute low point of all reality shows - including Big Brother and the Playboy mansion. Two uninteresting people (who are seldomly seen) start a series of tanning shops. The series revolve mostly around employees who bicker, fight and gossip their petty jobs away.

Pity the employees don't wear name tags as they are rather indistinguishable from each other. The best way to handle this show would be to absolutely ignore it: any publicity (including this review) would be too much. You could watch it, but watching grass grow or paint dry would be much more interesting.

Anyway, you have been duly warned.
