I've been thinking about Stacked for a while now, and I've decided that I'm ready to go on record.

I like it.

I came to the realization last night following the American Idol results show. Perhaps I was "high" on the patriotic triumph that was We The People pulling together to overcome whatever 10-year-old gay Ruskies had been buoying Anthony Federov. Or perhaps that "high" feeling was the marijuana. In any case, as Seacrest went out and the Stacked opening came on, I realized that I was excited; that I was actually eager to see what kind of shenanigans would ensue when an attractive, very buxom woman is put into a bookstore, of all places.

You want to know what kind of shenanigans ensued? The fairly humorous kind.

Granted, I've only seen two episodes so far, and not even all of those. But when it comes to television sitcoms, fairly humorous shenanigans are pretty fucking good. For example, I've seen at least one complete episode of America's best loved sitcom, Everybody Loves Raymond, and I can assure you that they don't.

I'm sure there are those of you who will say, Obviously you're being swayed by Pamela Anderson's unique look and figure, and perhaps by her choice of costume. Well, I can assure you that I am not, and quite frankly I'm offended by the suggestion. Sure, Pamela Anderson is an attractive woman, but an objective eye such as mine can't help but notice that she's getting a bit long in the tooth. Her body no longer has the soft curves of a young woman's -- it's hard, angular, and full of cartilage like Madonna's or Teri Hatcher's. And to be perfectly blunt, all those years of gobbling hair metal cock have left deep lines in her face that tell a story I'm not sure I want to hear.

No, my appreciation for Stacked is no mean appreciation.

To be completely honest, though, one thing about the show does disappoint me. I could have sworn that I saw That Thing You Do's Tom Everett Scott in the promos for the show. Now that I've seen about half each of two episodes, it's clear that he's not in it. Whether it was a fever dream or a subconscious stroke of casting genius, I'm now convinced he'd be much better in the up-tight brother role than the Wallace Langham lookalike they've got playing him now.
