DVD
C+

The main two main things to watch on this final episode are Josie's real mum and dad in the studio audience, and Josie disappearing into the character of a televangelist.  With its C+ average, I can understand why this programme never really caught on.  It's not bad, but she needs either a stronger and more regular supporting cast (not just Vranch) and/or better writing.  The sketches generally are weaker than the production pieces, like the movie parodies.  As for the impro at the end, it's not really anything we couldn't see on Whose Line, and she's better off with Clive Anderson to sort through the suggestions.

John Cassady would be Prysock and Nigel Whitmey would be George on Jeeves and Wooster.
