Rating starRating starRating starRating starRating star B-... Nice Jay Mohr vehicle, a little dated already
Sony puts up this short-lived Jay Mohr comedy, which costars Buddy Hackett (still alive!) and Illeana Douglas (it aired on Fox in 1999). This is an example of Hulu presenting the entire run of a show that has no profit potential in the real world. That being said, this is a nice little mean-spirited comedy that spotlights Jay Mohr in his sleazy Jerry MacGuire persona, only this time he's a down and out Hollywood film executive. The final episode is written as the final episode, with the death of an important cast member, which is a rare bonus in a short-lived series like this one. Worth investing the 5 hours it would take to watch the entire series? Perhaps.

I was so upset when this show didn't make it. It was originally intended for HBO, but Fox bought it and really pushed hard to get it up in the air but audiences didn't respond well. The creators of this show said they found the most bitter, twisted, ill tempered writers in the industry and hired them to write this show. There's a lot of great stuff here. Shows like "Action" are a dime a dozen now, but back in 1999, it was truly an original.

I always loved this show when it was on the air. I was so mad when they canceled it. This was my favorite show.

Rating starRating starRating starRating starRating star Has it really been nine years since this was on the air ?
Regarding the first episode : great sleazy humour and scenes such as Keannu ( playing himself ) getting a handjob in a theatre from a former child star and current "pro". Sharp dialog and good supporting cast.

As a side note, OJ was seriously considered as the original Terminator.

Wonder who would be the governor of CA. now ?
