High quality late night action comedy that's done with lots of action, and tongue in cheek humor. High skin exposure may have been the reason for it's late night time slot when it used to come on air.
Val (Pamela Anderson) used to work at Tail of Pup hot dog stand in LA. By accident she gets used as a bullet shield by a Hollywood actor who asked her out on a date. He didn't want the truth to be told on TV, so he tells the reporter that she's actually his body guard. This goes on air and Val becomes an instant celebrity. In the meantime employees at VIP body guarding agency gets conned by their boss to buy out the agency for $5000 each. Actually the agency has no assets or money in the bank, and is worthless. The four former employees, now out $5000, and no prospect of continued business comes up with a plan to use Val's sudden fame to bring in new clients for their agency. They ask her to be the head of the agency, with promise that she won't have to do any of the dangerous work. Val gets seduced by the Jag and Sunset boulevard penthouse apartment that former boss left behind, and agrees to head the agency. She almost fits the "dumb blonde" stereotype, except she has remarkable knack for doing the right things in critical moments (quite accidentally).
The chemistry between the members of VIP agency is fantastic. The show often has cameo appearance by famous celebrity of the time. The color scheme of each of the scene is beautiful, with house walls, street poles, and handrails freshly painted for the occasion. The look and feel is like the "Miami Vice", and even the music at the end roll is spoofing Miami Vice. The difference is that this show has lot more explosions, shooting , and fight scenes.
Pamela Anderson is often more beautiful compared even to other beautiful girls who guest stars in the show, or even many of the girls in bikini that lines the background in some scenes. But my favorite was Val's room mate played by Angelle Brooks. The two plays the comic relief of this show while others act completely strait. The situation Val gets into and the characters of the bad guys are designed to enhance the funniness of the show.
I've only seen few episodes when it was on air, but recently I got to see the entire seasons, and was surprised that I was quite entertained by the show. The producer did it right, and it's one of the best series of its kind. Recommended for viewing.
