Anna Nicole Show - REVIEW

I am convinced it was a put-on. For those who haven’t seen it I would stress that the interview portion was wildly inconsistent with the rest of the show.

In the interview sections ANS came across as a person of average intelligence with a slight weight problem and a couple of self-esteem issues.

In the rest of the show she was a raving lunatic displaying an intelligence that could barely cope with her surroundings. It is not too much of a stretch to suppose that someone who married an 88 year old man for his money might have found a new persona to pad her bank account.

That of course begs the question of why her persona was so inconsistent throughout the show. If it was an act I can’t explain why she didn’t follow through in the interview sections.

The inconsistency could be accounted for by the rumors that Anna Nicole pops Xanax and other assorted meds like Tic-Tacs.

Ah, the Damn Anna Nicole Show…

Hate to sound like a perv,but basically I was watching it for one reason,and one reason only. To me,Anna is hella sexy, and those clothes she was in were not a mistake by wardrobe
.
To me it seems,the show was made to appeal to a certain demographic: that is men who consider her sexy and want to see her prance around in tight clothing. (I only say that because I can’t think of any other demographic who would want to watch her…)

As fas as her persona, I remember reading somewhere that she basically did nothing and was boring as hell to film, so they gave her a bunch of Red Bull to drink to “energize” her. Seems to have had the opposite effect. And I do think all the other things are staged. Before the show, I don’t think she would have been invitied to the Guess event either.

The appeal of the Osbornes is that things are “set up” so much,as it’s his family dealng with daily life. Anna…doesen’t have much of one sadly. Also The Osbornes are just that…a FAMILY which means you’ll be able to identify with someone for sure. With Anna,there’s just…well…Anna. You would count the dog,her laywer,her assistant and her train wreck son,but they get little camera time,and none of them are relatable…so as far as the show itself, I bet Fish Poliece would have lasted longer than the ANS show.

Im not normally too mean-spirited (oh, bullshit, you are too!!), but I kinda like the fact that this ignorant, greedy bitch is being made into a huge joke for us all to laugh at. She stands for everything wrong to me. I am looking forward for the day when E! discards her after using her for all she is patheticly worth (just like she did to the stupid old coot who was dumb enough to marry her-- no sympathy for this old bastard either) and she realizes she is a broke, fat, stupid joke.

I figure it like this: Makes a complete ass of herself on TV. Gets no money from dead old guy. Has a complete breakdown for us all to see. America finds new trainwreck (Iraq, maybe? Hey, lets follow Sadam around with a camara as he ducks from bombshelter to crater hole, and put his crazy antics on E!) and her “show” is cancelled. Resorts to porno for cash. Ends up on street, giving head for crack. Found dead in alley or car trunk.

Right where she belongs. Like I say, I’m not mean-spirited! ( Yes, you are, you feckless wonder! You’re a bastard!!)


Damn inner-voice! Leave me alone!

AOL users can get into a live ANS chat tonight at nine.

Okay, they’re re-running it now, and with this kind of reaction I just had to see it. This is freakin’ HORRIBLE. Never mind the drugged appearance, never mind the lawyer telling her she needs to speak out in support of Israel, never mind the creepy-ass conversation with her kid. Who the hell goes house-hunting in an obviously rich neighborhood dressed like that? I bet the rent on the dream place went up because of fear on the part of the owners. Eeep.

Anyone want to place odds on her and the purple-haired gal are more than friends?

It is sad to know that E! is trying to make ratings out of one of the most pathetic lives. The only intruiging thing is that I kept wondering what the heck the network was thingking

Bo kitty :

I’ve read in biography pieces (one was in playboy its self I think)where it was infered by co workers at strip clubs she worked at that she was a lesiban or at least bi and her perfered type of girlfriend was real butch types

so this might be more true than we think heh

. . . except in this case, the Hindenberg and the Titanic are being piloted by Robert Downey, Jr., and Jayne Mansfield.

“Oh, the huge mammary!”

Okay, that is just classic, Eve. You should write for a living. :wink:

The snarky recap is finally up on Television Without Pity! Enjoy.

I saw a small excerpt on jay Leno.
I started laughing, then thought, “Would that she were pulling an Andy Kaufman!”

I’d let myself be repeatedly sandwiched by her THS.

The debut was the highest rated show in the history of basic cable.

Just FYI

Holy crap!

I don’t have E!, but I must get a co-worker with satellie cable to tape this show for me. I saw some clips on the website. Anna Nicole passing out and asking for the wire (the mic) to be removed from her “boobies?” “It’s a snake!” How screwed up was she?

Quality entertainment. I don’t care how anyone feels about her. She’s a media whore, and all media whores deserve the lambasting they get. Put yourself in that position, and you’re on the firing line. I don’t care if her life is sad. She’s volunteered to be the victim of a reality show, and even though she’s obviously being exploited by E! for a laugh, it’s her own damned fault.

Not to get too nitpicky, mattcolville, but it was second highest rated debut in cable history.

It is the highest rated show ever for E!, however.

From an article on E! online where they essentially toot their own horn:

“Here I am, folks, a lovely day here in Los Angeles as the huge, majestic Anna Nicole sails into view, toward the mooring mast. Oh, she is such a sight! So enormous and . . . Wait, she’s crashing! She’s crashing terrible. Oh, my, get out of the way, please. Her emotional stability is bursting into flames. And she’s falling into show business obscurity. All the folks agree this is terrible, one of the worst shows on the air. Oh, the flames, four or five hundred feet in the sky, it’s a terrific disaster, ladies and gentlemen. The smoke and the flames now and her huge frame is crashing to the ground, not quite into her first show. Oh, the huge mammary and all the viewers!”

mmmmm… Marshmallows.

My favorite line is at the end of this paragraph:

I thought she said she hasn’t had sex in two years. One year without, however, is still torture…
