Gavin P. Miller (Elon Gold) and Stuart Miller (Brian Scolaro) are brothers running a small bookstore. Gavin's book was a failure. Katrina (Marissa Jaret Winokur) is their coffee girl. Retired rocket scientist Professor Harold March (Christopher Lloyd) is a regular customer. One day, Skyler Dayton (Pamela Anderson) walks into the store. She's tired of her sex-filled broken relationships with bad boys. Gavin recruits Skyler to be his pretend girlfriend to make his ex-wife Charlotte jealous. To escape the temptations of hot guys, Skyler hires herself to work under the Miller brothers.
This Pamela Anderson TV vehicle is able to show that she has workable charisma besides her ample bosoms and good looks. She holds her own delivering the hackney jokes and her character has good heart. Some of it is almost funny and Winokur is good at playing off of Anderson. The cast includes some functional TV actors and one bonafide legend. The situation is utterly manufactured. This is not the worst thing but I am surprised that it got two seasons on network TV. I guess the 5-episodes replacement first season worked just well enough to get a renewal. It's simply not good enough to keep going.
