The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman

Anyone else catch this show? It premiered on IFC on Friday, and I only barely heard about it. Having had a crush on been a fan of Laura Kightlinger since her Stand-up Stand-up days, I was happy to hear that she had a new show, and with Nicholle "Supergirl" Tom as the co-star, I was pretty much a lock for watching it. The first episode started slowly, but picked up nicely as it moved along. It's filled with all sorts of references just for movie buffs, and has a wonderful set of scene-stealing moments by Sally Kellerman in the opening episode. Throw in a nice turn by Azura Skye (poor, doomed Cassie from Buffy) as an anorexic editor from hell, and the show was good enough to get us to set our Tivo for the second episode.

Plus, you've gotta love the tagline: LA Sucks. Jackie sucks back.

I saw the promos, and it looks Laura Kightlinger had some really bad plastic surgery. Is that the character makeup or is it her?

I believe that it's makeup, but I wouldn't swear to it.
