    Too much of everything

    Konterr

    Brilliant and touching

    Guillelmina

    The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

    Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

    I actually worked on the crew for this show. I was crazy. I was working on Roseanne at the same time. The supporting case was great ! Too bad they didn't give it another season or two. I actually liked Tom Arnold so much more than Roseanne.

    The show was very funny, and anyone who DID watch the show agreed. Most people who said they hated Tom Arnold would have loved this show. Tom played an arrogant and stupid TV star. He was only 50% of the show. The character who played the 'writers' of the show were great at cutting down, putting up with, and tolerating Tom Arnolds character. From what I new about the show it was a spoof of 'Rosanne' and how she acted behind the scenes. I love to buy up the tapes for my self because they didn't make enough for a rerun stand.

    I am in no way a huge Tom Arnold fan, but this show was great. I have a feeling that when Tom and Roseanne (who, at the time, had the power of ABC behind her) were splitting up, this became one of the first casualties. A real shame.

    Tom Arnold plays Jackie Thomas, the star of his own sitcom, and this show is about the behind the scenes look on the show. Truth be told, I don't remember much about this show, just that it was funny, and I enjoyed it. In fact, I remember a good majority of my friends enjoying it as well. However, it was on immediately after Roseanne, and ABC didn't feel it was doing well enough to hold on to. I remember reading that while Roseanne was #1 in the ratings, Jackie Thomas was #20 or so, and they felt this number was pitiful following a #1 show. But most of us felt this show could have improved ratings-wise had it been given the chance it deserved. Remember all the shows that started off at the bottom of the barrel and climbed to the top, I.E.: MASH and Cheers. Sometimes networks will give a struggling show a chance, so long as they can see that it is genuinely a good show. I just wish they would have done it with this one.
