VIP - The Complete First Season
by Barry Primus
from Sony Pictures
Sometimes it's OK to judge a book by it's cover, particularly if you're talking about Pamela Anderson and her super-schmaltzy series VIP. Forget Stacked, the cartoonish, glammed up, and sadly short-lived VIP was the perfect vehicle for Pamela Anderson, allowing Pam to do what Pam does best. The premise is painfully simple. Colt Arrow Security, a leader in the celebrity protection business, is having managerial issues. Its top guards Tasha, Nikki, and Quick (played by Molly Culver, Natalie Raitano, and Shaun Baker) decide to buy it out. The problem is, the ex-owner ran off with everything, leaving them high and dry. In a simple twist of fate, L.A. newcomer Vallery Irons (Pam), on her first celebrity date, protects her escort from a shooter on the Red Carpet by knocking the gun out of his hand with her purse. The incident gets a lot of press, accidentally identifying Val as the hottest new celebrity bodyguard in L.A.. In an attempt to save their company and drum up some business, the Colt Arrow guards approach Vallery for assistance. Knowing she is a fake, they ask her to join their team as their figurehead, changing the agency name to VIP (that's Vallery Irons Protection - V.I.P., get it?). Though VIP is about as low-brow you can get, and extremely high on the cheese factor, it is incredibly fun and succeeds as topnotch, mindless entertainment. If watching half dressed, super buff villains, celebrity bodyguards and real guest celebrities chase each other down the beaches of Los Angeles riding Quads and zipping around in cigarette boats with Uzis blasting is your idea of entertainment, look no further. Part Baywatch, part A-Team, and part Barb Wire, VIP may just be the best show you never knew existed. --Rob Bracco
