Quotes:

Jameson Burkright: Mimi told me I looked like a young Steve McQueen.
Debbie Sue Ashanti-Melendez: Yeah, well, Mimi told me I look like a cross between Jodie Foster and Meryl Streep. Mimi?
Mimi Driver: Have you ever thought about acting?
Stagehand: I'm just a stagehand.
Mimi Driver: Yeah, but you look like a cross between Jodie Foster and Meryl Streep.
Debbie Sue Ashanti-Melendez: I'm gonna kick that two-timing bitch's ass.
Jameson Burkright: Well, save one of those asses for me, Debbie Sue.

Stop-action fun

A stop-action animation series meant to spoof entertainment shows like Access Hollywood and Entertainment Tonight. Features sycophantic movie reporters, camera-hungry moderators and cross-bred films.

A sup-plot involves the in-fighting between the show's co-hosts, each wanting to be the top banana. Sometimes funny, sometimes reaching, the humor is perfect for this type of satire. Surprisingly, this show premiered on a movie channel even though it does not contain foul language or explicit nudity. Although sometimes, between this and the real infotainment shows, I can't tell which is more annoying. I recommend taping the show and watching it within a two-week gap between episodes.
