Excellent, Without a doubt!!

As Good As It Gets

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The first season of the TV version of the hit movie reassembled a good chunk of the movie's cast, plus the movie's director Amy Heckerling as executive producer. So why was it such a pale imitation? Two words: Rachel Blanchard.Blanchard took over as lead character Cher from Alicia Silverstone (who understandably had other things to do at the time). Though Blanchard was physically right for the role, her flat performance makes you realize how perfect Silverstone really was for the role, with her fizzy, lighthearted, charismatic performance. Blanchard, by contrast, was dull as dishwater, with no spunk or charisma or anything. She pulled the whole series down. They should have hired Christine Taylor (Marcia in "The Brady Bunch" movies) instead.The second season got even worse. Moving to a smaller network (from ABC to UPN) necessitated budget cuts, so Heckerling was gone as well as movie vets Wallace Shawn and Twink Caplan. "Very special episodes" started to creep in as well. Ugh.Skip this one and rent the movie again instead.

I liked it a lot, some of the special episodes was a bit preachy. I like Rachel since "Dont Be afraid of the Dark" on NICK. The reason the first Mel left , He went to Film "Godzilla" I think? There could've been a Darren Stevens Joke when the season began but the writers had Cher say He lost weight. The Tim Conway ones are funny first a Shop Teacher then a Exterminater. Rachel looked darn goodin those outfits She wore.Noggin puts the Show on 3am now and it should be on in the afternoon seems like they skip a lot of shows on that network.Dionne and Amber insults always cracked Me up. The P.C. Christmas Show was funny and the 2 part Halloween too. Amber was on "Sabrina" a couple years cause the Irony that Sabrina was on one of the shows on the end and confuses Cher. Stacy made some movies, I have know ideal what She is doing now??

As the movie Clueless (1995) is one of my favourite movies ever i was looking foward to a fantastic T.V show based on the movie. It was a big dissapointment to see that the T.V show was nothing like the movie at all. It lacked the acting talents of Alicia Silverstone as "Cher" and every storyline was ruined due to poor acting and directing. It was such as shame to see a great idea go to waste. I went so postal after seeing some of the episodes of the T.V show - i never want to watch it again as it just pains me too much.

Except for the occasional bad word and mentions of sex this show was nothing more than innocent teen fodder in the tradition of "Saved by the Bell". Though stylish it fails to match the cleverness, hipness and satire of the original 1995 hit film. The pacing of the show seems off as well and Cher's commentary, a highlight in the film, here it seems like it's coming from a completely different show. The show hardly even resembles the film, if it wasn't trying to be like the movie then they should have changed the name but since they stuck with the title "Clueless" then they should have tried to keep the spirit of the film. On it's own it's pretty lighthearted fun so if you haven't seen the film then you might enjoy it but if you're a fan of the film then this series might depress you especially considering that so many of the same people who worked on the film also worked on the show including writer/director Amy Heckerling and producers Twink Caplan, Julie Brown and Scott Rudin.
