I know that a lot of people think that this is a show that was canceled by the network and is now in syndication, but that's not the case. Apparently, the plan all along was to debut on the network (and benefit from heavy network promotion--which it certainly received), and go on to be a syndicated program. Not a bad idea. I have to admit, it kind of got me hooked.
It's a fairly entertaining and somewhat goofy show. And, while it's not nearly as good, in my opinion, as V.I.P., it's cut from the same cloth. It's still campy, good fun. Sometimes the self-mockery, as with VIP is the biggest highlight. While VIP tended to mainly mock Valerie Irons (Pamela Anderson), this show tends to go outside the box and mock the actual show. One line from a recent show:
"We have She Spies action figures."
-"there are She Spies action figures?"
--"yeah, you wind 'em up and they dare you to find their time-slot."
Don't knock it until you try it. It may take a couple of tries, but the show is actually getting better and I think you'll be entertained. Just remember, it's not meant to be Shakespeare. It's meant to be fun.
