oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- 1996, Rather mad TV sketch characters comedy series, Tracey Ullman is a sleazy, tough talking New Yorker, an opinionated shop owner, an earthy make-up artist, a gay male flight attendant or what? This hit is all of the above? The answer is 'all of the above'. The series featuring the comedian playing multiple roles with each episode devoted to a specific theme of watching the human condition.*Special Stars- Tracey Ullman *Theme- People are funny and act odd in public.*Based on- Tracey Ullman writing and character comedy from observational situations in the USA .*Trivia/location/goofs- This series was developed out of the cartoon TV show. 'The Simpsons'. It is shot in Los Angeles. This show was nominated for TV's 'Emmy".*Emotion- This film provides us with an comedy experience of the like as Lucille Ball or Carol Burnet at the height of their two careers. It is a unforgettable funny show for anyone. This film was full of great comedic performances that have become 'staples' of Ullman on camera history. Ullman shows us a feel good funny show.
gluba2000 I saw one episode of this and thought it was hilarious!I saw it when DirecTV had a free preview weekend for those movie channels and I thought the show was hilarious!It was the class reunion episode and it was brilliant!Tracey Ullman has talent (and I'm only judging from that one episode that I saw and the clips from some compilation show about it...)I had seen something before with people talking about the show and saying how great it was and it showed clips.Too bad I couldn't have seen some more episodes because it was very funny...If you have HBO and see that this is on then watch it, it's a very funny show!
kdb90069 I would like to defend Tracey Ullman from a brutally uninformed commentator who slammed Tracey and her show for reinforcing negative stereotypes. I must say, YOU HAVE MISSED THE POINT! Tracey Ullman is a brilliantly talented performer. However, why is that a black comedian can get on stage, slam whites, Jews, Asians, women and police and use the "F" word ad nauseum and we praise them for being masters! Talk about your double-edge sword!
Bella-33 I love this show. If you don't have HBO I suggest you run out and rent a few videos. This is sketch comedy at its best. She takes on any and every character you could imagine. The gay airline steward, Trevor. Then there's a Leslie Abrahamson type attorney, Sydney. Former make-up artist to the stars turned lush Ruby Romaine. The list goes on and on. If you're an Tracy Ullman fan you won't be disappointed. Check it out!
