Review of Stacked

Stacked (2005–2006)
4/10
Dumb Comedy
20 March 2007
Unless you have a copy of the home video she made with husband Tommy Lee, this marks the return to the small screen for Pamela Anderson following her Baywatch adventures. In Stacked she plays Skyler Dayton, a bookstore employee. Skyler is tired of her non-stop partying lifestyle and bad choices in boyfriends, so wanting a major life change; she wanders into The Stacks, a small family-run bookstore. Yes, it's hard to imagine her working as a bookstore assistant offering opinions on the latest literature and classic novels, but then the kooky Ellen DeGeneres did pull off a comedy set in a bookstore in the mid '90s. Stacked, however, can't match up to Ellen, which itself was nothing spectacular. The jokes here are so bawdy and obvious you half expect to see Sid James pop up let out a burst of his famous cackle every time someone delivers a punchline, but then did you really expect subtle jokes from a comedy that stars a women who made her fortune by looking great in a swimsuit? In one later episode Skyler, wearing a designer minidress, drops a muffin on her lap and screams, 'I've got blueberry all over my Pucci!' Her co-worker replies, 'what do you expect with a dress that short?' Fnarrr and, indeed, fnarrr. The jokes are so lowbrow they're almost in her cleavage, but if you're a fan of plastic Pammy or the Carry On films then you may want to tune in.
