The main reason I watched this was because Steven Levitan created it... well, OK, but that was in the Top 2. Seriously though, I love Just Shoot Me, its snark(the best of it delivered by David Spade), its raunchy material and the satire. I hoped that this would be the same. Well, two out of three ain't bad, I guess. With Anderson in the lead, a fact that probably made this show, and then preceded to break it, this got about 18 episodes, so in spite of being listed as two seasons, it's really more like one... and one that is about three fourths long, at that. The concept itself isn't half bad. It takes place in a store for literary works, run by two dorky brothers, one of whom is an unsuccessful writer. Add to that a disgruntled coffee girl, her regular customer(who has retired from a position at NASA, as an expert on physics), and, of course, Pam, whose... ahem... attributes are the focus of the series(so much so that they put it in the title). That makes for a full regular cast. These characters are actually decent enough, and their relative diversity allows for the jokes and gags(most of which work, some do fall flat) to draw inspiration from many different areas. The group(with the one exception we all know about) can act well enough, and the comic timing is pretty good. Lloyd seems nearly incapable of disappointing. The guest stars are fine, and there are a few recognizable faces(meanwhile, does every female that Skylar knows have to be attractive and easy? OK, I know those words are illegal to speak for all us straight men, still, seriously, it doesn't keep being funny). At its best, the humor is hilarious, and there are quotable lines here and there. I recommend this to fans of sit-coms, and/or those who appear in this. 7/10

i knew this would never be anything like the good sitcoms like Frasier or Scrubs but i at least thought it may have a few laughs, but it doesn't.Pamela Anderson, makes fun out of herself, Christopher Lloyd is a fantastic actor (His character is okay) but basically the premise of the show is obvious- Pamela Anderson's assets (that's not her acting and personality) every scene was littered with references to her breasts and the whole idea of watching two book shop owners talk about sleeping with her, is cringe worthy.The characters have no depth, Katrina is just used so Skyler can look even better and make 'plainer' girls feel that life is crap, Gavin and Stuart are adolescents in grown up bodies and Christopher Lloyd is out of place.Everything is 2 dimensional, loud, ignorant and superficial, everyone freely shouts about their sex life to a crowded bookstore and the acting is mediocre.The only good bit is the idea of a bookstore and using chapters as a scene opener, they should never make anything like this again, i tried watching it again recently, to give it another chance, but i didn't laugh once and felt my I.q plummet considerably, i know you could say it's just a bit of fun, but if it is, why aren't i laughing?

I've read through the user comments about this show, and I'm amazed about people's vanity. Everybody talks about the story, the characters, the merit of the jokes, how lame the show is, how smart the show is... COME ON, people! This show has two stars, and they're hanging on Pammy's chest!Let's not kid ourselves. The show is called "Stacked" and it surely is one of the most aptly titled shows in history. We've all seen Pamela Anderson naked, but she *still* manages to make us drop our jaws to the floor with the mega-melons she's sporting here! Which man can take his eyes off of THAT? Then you can admit it or not.This is not Pamela carrying a show - this is Pamela's breasts carrying a show. And in all their artificial firmness, they pull it off!OK, I'm done. I'll rate the show a six because, well, because of the obvious.It's watchable, it's in fairly good taste, it's got Christopher Lloyd - and those are just the extras!This is a show about BREASTS, and, y'know... it's not such a bad idea! More power to 'em!

The writing is as amateurish as it is hackneyed and generic. The plots are thin and uneventful. The dialogue is stiff and dull. The gags are generic and not as frequent as you expect from a gag-driven show. If you've seen VIP you know Pam is capable of being a great self-effacingly comedic actor, something the material in this show gives her little opportunity to demonstrate. The bookstore owner and his co-worker are both such eunuchs that the supposed sexual tension between them and Pam is far from believable. Stuart is the archetype of the unlovable loser. When you think Pam Anderson you don't exactly think high class, but I'd think this show would be beneath even her. How Christopher Lloyd got roped into doing this show is an even bigger mystery. His random weirdo character gets the funniest dialogue to work with, but with this show that isn't saying much. The double entendre in the show title is as clever as any of the content in the show is going to get.
