Fat Actress

So I watched "Fat Actress" last night, only because I was in bed already and Tara was flipping channels and there really wasn't anything else on. I had very low hopes, mainly because I don't like fat jokes and Kristie Alley annoys me, and part of me deep deep down inside sees this whole "fat" thing as a way for her to get back into the public eye.

So I'm watching the show - as I said, with minimal expectations. I laughed my ass off. I pretty much enjoyed it for two reasons. The lesser reason was Rachael Harris. She's a good looking chick (blame the glasses) who should be in more things. The major reason though was Mayim Bialik. Yeah, Blossom. Yeah, she's older now (and not to rip on her or anything, but she hasn't aged that well considering she's not 30 yet - dude, Blossom's pushing 30. How old do you feel now?) and not as "cute" as she was back in her NBC sitcom days, but she ends up having sex with one of the other characters on the show, and to hear her cry out "Say my name! Say my name! Now say my other name!" as the guy cries out "Blossom! Blossom!" Just high quality stupid humor.

Of course, the end of the program where we flip back to Bialik's house where she cries out "but I"m Blossom, dammit!" and puts on the flower hat and dances to the recording of the Blossom TV show had me laughing again. It's stuff like that which works once - I don't know if she's going to appear again, but the whole combination of having not seen her in like 10 years to the immedate turn in "character" was funny.

I'll watch the show again. It'll surely let me down, but it didn't suck as much as I thought it would.
