This show is great fun to watch. It is one of the best entries in the "girls with guns" genre, mostly because it doesn't try to take itself too seriously.

The only thing missing are all the other seasons that came after this one. I can't believe that after all this time they still aren't out on DVD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mindless Fun, March 8, 2006

Jade Blue "Glam Girl" (PHILADELPHIA, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: VIP - The Complete First Season (DVD)

This show used to come on at the most random times-like 3am after the clubs closed and we were all trying to come down off a buzz...This show was perfect for that. In its "hey-day", it came on in the afternoon on the weekend when most are either working off a hang-over or doing laundry, etc. I always thought the fact that it was so reality-absent was wonderful. I was upset when the show didn't return as it always made me chuckle. It was a cute show and an appropriate vehicle for Pam Anderson.
