Mike P @RT09890132 02/18/2025 Really really bad sitcom; one of the worst ever, actually...I mean...it's almost like Facts of Life meets The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas; or something; with Charlotte Rae as the Madam...I mean, glamorizing and romanticizing teen modelling, (a dubious venture in the first place), like this show does, is really wrong-headed guys...I'm not exactly sure what Tony Danza was thinking. At it's best it's a lot of shallow, phony, Hollywood wish-fulfillment nonsense; at its worst it's got a creepy vibe. And the cast isn't all bad; it's got Oscar Winner Halle Barry and Emmy Winner Michael Learned; both great performers, but this is still just really bad stuff, both in terms of the concept, and in execution. A total misfire. See more Read all reviews
