artemishdc I think Kirstie Alley is fantastic! She is hilarious and so is her ensemble cast. Bravo to Kelly Preston - she was hysterical! ...I recently gained a lot of weight and am an actress - paid? no, recognized? no, but I do understand how hard it is to get parts and how you just want to hide away, but yet you love the acting so it's a freakin' vicious cycle. Especially when the parts you want to get are for skinny people. And understandably so. It takes physical energy to be an actor. Being obese is not healthy nor is being anorexic.I'm glad Kirstie has found solace in Jenny Craig. That's not my weightloss option of choice, but hey whatever works and different strokes for different folks....in saying all of that...I still think that she could have continued the show for another season even though she lost a lot of weight. There were still topics to explore and I think she would have done that marvelously.I can't wait to see Kirstie in more roles soon!! Keep it up girl!

Mike Simon I completely disagree, I think this show is absolutely hilarious and very well done. Kirstie did what wanted to do and she was herself, and that's what makes it a good show. I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting to see, but I recently found them on our "On Demand" channel and thought I'd watch the first one. My friends and I all watched it, and we all agreed that it was a very good show and watched every episode of season 1. Even after I've seen them all, I go back and watch my favorites. I'm not one to watch much TV, it just doesn't entertain me, but I've always been pulled toward Kirstie's movies and TV shows, they're the best!

HillstreetBunz We Loved it.. the characters seem to verbalise what you know they are thinking, but is normally edited out in the blanding of TV sitcoms. This show cuts through the hypocritical 'What matters is whats on the inside' rubbish pedalled by Hollywood's dull scripted interviewees and talk show gurus. Here we see what the real deal is, narrow minded, misogynistic men who haven't the imagination or the common sense to employ a funny woman 'coz she's funny'. And Alley has the guts to admit she hates being fat, at the same time as feeling it shouldn't hinder her career...and really there's no contradiction in that. Its not like a network show, its like HBO without the gloss. reminds me of the BBC's 'Absolutely Fabulous' or 'The office' painful to watch, but funny.

Haifis I wanted to like this show, I really did. I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. But what do I get? Cheap, silly, childish gimmicks! The gist of this show is "Waaaaaaaah! I'm fat! Waaaah! Laugh at me! Giggle at my plight and tears!" All throughout this show: Kirstie keeps bemoaning herself. During a scene at the office, A song called "Bubble Butt Fatso" plays. How childish and infantile! This whole "fatso" schtick belongs in the same category as your kindergarten "poopy pants" routine! I was utterly disappointed with Miss Alley. Such a beautiful and talented woman but created such an atrocious and un-funny show. Do not watch this program. It is a waste of air time.
