Bad Actress

I've never really liked Kirstie Alley. Her character on "Cheers" annoyed me. We won't even discuss the "Look Who's Talking..." movies. But after watching her new show, "Fat Actress", it's possible that I like her even less. Could there be more offensive stereotypes? Let's see. Overweight people? Check. Black people? Check. Gays? Check. For that kind of humor to work, the stereotypes have to be done with affection, which I'm just not seeing at all.

Comments

At least the "Look Who's Talking..." movies ad some accounting humor. In the first one, her dad was sitting on the back porch, reading the Journal of Accountancy, and laughing his head off. In a later installment, Olympia Dukakis said, "I can get them audited, I know people at the IRS."
