Camryn Manheim is a woman?
I wish I had Showtime.
The 30 minute pilot is free to watch on Yahoo. http://tv.yahoo.com/feature/fatactress.html
I watched 5 minutes of it and it was decidedly unfunny.
They packed more sex talk into 5 minutes than Sex and the City does in a whole episode.
It was sad and a bit pathetic. They were shooting for the low-hanging fruit (pun partially intended).
Nobody wants to watch a show about a female stuffing her face and then complaining about it while wearing enough makeup to pass for a geisha hooker!
Maybe they'll take a close up of her wheezing after a run, or how red her face gets just before a stroke just about hits her.
Maybe she will find a new fabric named after her for it's ability to vastly outstretch her expanding waste line.
I REALLY DON'T CARE.
Let her eat cake!
I wonder which will end sooner: Her show, or her endorsement contract with Jenny Craig?
I was in the grocery store one day about 3 months ago and saw the picture of Kirstie Alley since her weight gain. I thought maybe the picture was someone's idea of a joke,but then I saw her on TV.I couldn't believe it! She had a really nice figure and seemed so happy. You have to wonder what makes some people change so drastically.
No woman will ever be the equal of a man until she can catch her reflection in a plate glass window and, seeing a paunchy, balding, wrinkled reflection of herself, think
Damn, I'm lookin' good.
"A show that seems to be set up to make fun of fat people or to describe how miserable their lives are, is not sending a good message, and it's not the right message," laments National Organization for Women president Kim Gandy.
"If the idea is that fat equals desperate," says Gandy, "then that's not going to be good for any of us, and certainly not for people who are overweight, healthy or not."
Gandy, as usual, soooo doesn'y get it. If the NAGs are against it, I'm FOR it. They never have and never will speak for me.
I can take Kirstie in small doses; like a Pier One commercial or something, LOL! I wouldn't pay to watch the show, so thanks for the link to view it on Yahoo. :)
