I have respectfully read EVERY ONE of the other user reviews of the show on this site. It seems that most of the users liked "Veronica's Closet." It also seems that the vast majority of these people are from non-American countries, from such places as Wales, Germany, and Brazil. Maybe to them this show is humorous and refreshing... perhaps it gains something in translation... but now I think it's only fair that someone from it's country of origin write a fair review."Veronica's Closet" was awful. It was a star-centric show who seemed to think it's lead actress (Kirstie Alley) was a comic genius. While she was very funny as part of the dream team ensemble of "Cheers," she was vile, loathsome, and offensive as "Ronnie," president of her own lingerie company. Kirstie's yo-yo weight gain, her bizarro hair colors, and her constant whining made this show unwatchable. Her frilly, flowing, feathered wardrobe looked less like something a fashion designer would wear and more like something created by the Children's Television Workshop.Then there was the show itself. Starting with the premise that "Sex Sells," the show's creators decided to make EVERY joke in the series about intercourse and dirty words. For example, Wallace Langham as the sexually ambiguous assistant. The constant insinuations and inferences that he might be gay were not funny, only creepy. And who can forget the heart-warming scenes where Kirstie and her secretary Olive (Kathy Najimy) would talk about the size of men's genitals while soaking up martinis at the bar? Less than Absolutely Fabulous.Not to be outdone by the ladies the show serves up two of the most disgusting male characters in television history with Dan Cortese and Daryl "Chill" Mitchell as two horny executives who were out to Get Some! See them try to hump everything that moves, including pregnant women and their co-worker's relatives! As if this wasn't scuzzo enough, Ron Silver- America's favorite low-key psychotic- was added to the cast as Veronica's love interest!If I sound bitter about this show it's because I am. Many of us hate it so passionately because we were "forced" to watch it between our favorite shows "Friends" and "Seinfeld," where it was sandwiched for survival. For three seasons we were amazed that the show had not been cancelled, and for three seasons the actors and producers of the show sunk lower and lower into comedy so filthy I had to shower after watching."Veronica's Closet" has mellowed a bit over time, and if you see it in re-runs or syndication it will not seem as loathsome to you as it did to many of us who saw it in it's original run. Today the series is trashy, flat, and occasionally funny; when it was alive it was downright unholy.
... View MoreI just wanna say that I love Veronica's Closet !!! That is one of the best american series. Kirstie Alley is a beautiful, talented and wonderful actress. And the others cast members ( especially Kathy and Wallace ) were so funny ! Even now ( that the series is over ), Veronica's Closet is still a very popular show here in Brazil. And I can't understand how a great sitcom like this has been canceled ... In my opinion, the best season was the second. All those situations between Ronnie and Alec were hilarious. Well, I hope that Kirstie Alley keep doing comedy series like Cheers and Veronica's Closet :)
... View MoreVeronica's closet is one of the best sitcoms i ever watched. I would like to know why some people say horrible things about this show. Season 1 was good, Season 2 was a little better and Season 3 was the best season with the funniest June Bilson. All the cast is funny and i'm really furious with NBC because they didn't show the 4 final episodes of the series..Will we never know what happened in the end of this great show?
... View Morewhy is everyone saying horrible things about this show i think it is great, funny and a well made show. I agree adding Ron Silver to the cast was a really bad decision but adding Lorri bagley to the cast as the typical attractive dumb blond was a great decision. I think this season with Lorri added to the cast and the camp Josh getting engaged is the best season yet. Thank you for this great T.V show.
