I'm not as shocked as other reviewers because I had heard this show was good for a long time before renting it on Netflix.Tori Spelling sends up Tori Spelling in a hilarious comedy that also stars Zach Quinto in the days when he was Zachary, as her gay friend, Sasan, James Carpinello as her roommate Pete, Loni Anderson as Mrs. Spelling, Brennan Hesser as Janey, and Cleo King as Tori's old nanny. Spelling dishes herself."I make my own money," she says defensively. Then in a smaller voice, "Acting on my father's TV show." When asked why she doesn't want to be alone, why she's so weird about getting gifts, why this, why that, there is a flashback to little Tori (Ariel Winter) and her ditsy mother which tells the story, then back to Tori in the present, saying off-handedly, "I don't know." No subject is off-limits. Trying to get out of a stuck limousine, Quinto says, "There are only two inches to get out. Tori, run for help." "You're better looking in person. Have you had more stuff done?"The best is when she decides to send a video to Steven Soderbergh to be considered as a serious actress and try out for a role as a woman going after a Brazilian gang to save her sister from sex slavery. While in the sex shop buying props, Sasan tells her Shannon Doherty is there, and Tori hits the ground like the place is being bombed. Ultimately she makes the tape and some of Soderbergh's people give it to him as a birthday gift and laugh out loud. You see Tori in a leather bra and panties with a whip in her hand, acting tough.Loni Anderson is fabulous as is the rest of the cast, but it's really nice to see her in a good role.This very funny show was canceled when Spelling's life became more complicated - her father passed away, she became pregnant, and moved on to other projects. It's a shame.

This show deserves to be a hit! It blends the best of reality with the best of comedy. Who knew Tori Spelling had this much talent??? The first time I saw the show, it was just for fun - to see just how bad it was going to be. I was shocked! I laughed out loud at the incredibly well crafted show and Tori's powerful self-deprecating humor. Loni Anderson is a delight, turning in performances that remind us why we fell in love with her years ago in WKRP in Cincinnati. Tori Spelling is showing far more talent and comic genius than anyone could have suspected. She has certainly won my respect. Though it has been reported they were estranged at the time of his death, I have no doubt her daddy is looking down from heaven and is mighty proud of his little princess. So am I.

Okay, this show is fantastic. I beg everyone to watch it once and I promise you will be hooked. The chemistry between the cast is fantastic and it shows up on screen. Tori Spelling is perfect playing herself, she is not afraid to make fun of herself. A side-note, her gay best friend, is absolutely fantastic. He is no token gay guy, equipped with killer lines, a hot face, and a great talent for scene stealing. But watch for the character Janey, as she is probably the best in the show. Armed with lines not seen since Karen from Will and Grace, this girl is hands down the reason I watch the show. (but the entire cast is why I love it)

I have hated Tori Spelling for many years now and it saddens me that it has to come to an end. This show for some reason I can't even explain hit the perfect note. She is brilliant. I know, it sickens me too. Why can't all the crappy actors and actresses remain crappy, it is too confusing when they do something good. The show revolves around Tori Spelling and her life. She is dumb, dorky, and funny. I love the way she makes fun of herself and the way all her close friends and family make fun of her as well. She really did the right thing for her career in this series, but unfortunately I think this is really all she can do. I don't think she is going to make a "come-back" into movies or other television series after this. She found her niche and I think she should just leave it at that.
