From IFCTV The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman is a herky-jerky romp through Hollywood. Jackie Woodman (Kightlinger) a writer for a second rate indie film rag and Tara a low-level employee at a film production company are determined to succeed in this fast paced LA scene. Armed only with willful ignorance fleeting confidence and poor judgment this lovable and barely functional duo continually screw up yet somehow manage to persevere and stay best friends.

The Ultimate review: it made us pee with laughter. This is the funniest show that nobody knows about. Laura Kightlinger is a truly original comedic voice. This series is a combination of Ab Fab and Curb your Enthusiasm but funnier. The comedic writing is on a consistently high level with some of the best lines since Fran Leibowitz. these discs are Season One and originally aired on the IFC channel. I'm definitely tuning in for Season Two.

IFC's The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman isn't always a laugh out loud send-up the movie business (like, well, IFC's other send-up The Business), but where it succeeds are in some small moments of pure brilliance that really make the show something special. The criminally underrated Laura Kightlinger stars as Jackie Woodman; a would-be screen-writer stuck writing for a Hollywood rag. Her best friend and frequent driver Tara (an all grown up Nicholle Tom) is along for the ride, as Jackie finds herself getting wooed by a graphic novelist (Giuseppe Andrews) and then having to work with him, along with experiencing the "joys" of peyote, and finally getting addicted to a prescription drug and becoming even more addicted to an uber-conservative radio host (Ray Wise). The characters are richly brought to life, and while the show isn't instantly enjoyable right off the bat, it still comes off as something special to behold. All in all, The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman is a show that deserves your attention, and this is a DVD worth picking up to boot.

This is a brilliant irreverent comedy. I love the writing, acting, and directing. It is an absolute scream and I am so excited Season 1 has been released on DVD. I can't wait for IFC to start airing Season 2. This show is brills!!!! Don't miss it:)
