A Brilliant Conflict

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The T.V. series "Clueless" takes off right where the extremely funny film left off. Here we find the character of Cher Horowitz portrayed by newcomer Rachel Blanchard, but the rest of the cast remains in tact. Minor characters like Ty and Josh have been removed (which makes sense because their "stories" were neatly wrapped up in the film) and instead we focus on the day to day adventures and teen-struggles of Cher, Dionne, Murray and Amber. The series takes the sardonic outlook of 90s teens that made the movie a success and expounds on it with great effect. The expansion of the Amber character to be a double edged uber-villain-cum-confidant is beneficial and often makes the episodes so enjoyable.

OK, I never watched this show before, but I happened across part of an episode in reruns quite a while back and saw something that I found to be HILARIOUS!I don't know what episode it was, or what it was supposed to be about... all I know is that the kids were somewhere with this French restaurant in the background and the restaurant was called Chez Verbush! (In case you didn't get that it would be pronounced "shay verbush", as in "shave her bush")Um, hello?!?!? Either the censors didn't catch this or they let it go thinking no one would notice? Well, I did and it was just the best part of the show. I cracked up! Unfortunately no one was at home with me to enjoy it and I have never even seen the show on TV since. :(I wish I knew what the rest of the plot of the was so I could try to find that episode. (My boyfriend is DYING to see it. He loves hidden stuff like that.)Anywho... if you know what I'm talking about please post a message & let me know. Thanks!! :)

This show was a total embarrassment to one of the few truly good teen movies. I remember being excited to watch this series, but it disgusted me so much that I could barely sit through it. 'Clueless' is a highly original and charming movie, but in the series they just turned it into a typical '90s sitcom that almost NOBODY liked.I'll just leave it at that. If you like dime-a-dozen sitcoms, then this is the show for you. Otherwise, forget it.

"Clueless," the movie, was a warm, clever, pointed and hilarious teen comedy that belied its title; "Clueless," the series, gradually lived up to it. The title, not the movie.The first series benefitted from Amy Heckerling being more actively involved and from having a cast closer to the movie's (including Elisa Donovan, Stacey Dash, Twink Caplan and Wallace Shawn reprising their roles - plus Brittany Murphy appearing in one episode in a different role from the one she had in the movie); but as time went by the show became more like the sort of thing it sent up, with the rot setting in during the UPN years (seasons two and three). More predictable, more syrupy, and less sharp in the writing (the first season didn't need any jokes about how the characters would be in their mid-20s - "Just old enough to play teenagers on TV" - to be witty); when Dionne (Stacey Dash) sang on camera in one season the writing was on the wall. Whereas Alicia Silverstone was very definitely the star of the movie, her substitute Rachel Blanchard was consistently upstaged by Elisa Donovan; and the inclusion of issue-centred episodes, though well-intentioned, just made the show seem even more like a departure from what it was. Perhaps it should have remained cancelled after the first season; although "Clueless" still ranks above "Running the Halls" and "Student Bodies," the lack of a laugh track is the only thing it shares with truly classy efforts like "The Wonder Years" and "Malcolm in the Middle."Watchable? Missable? What-EVER...!
