The Comeback

description

"The Comeback" is a television series that aired on HBO in 2005 and 2014. It follows the story of Valerie Cherish, a washed-up actress who tries to revive her career by starring in a reality show. The show is shot in a mockumentary style, with the cameras following Valerie around as she navigates the ups and downs of her life.

The first season of the show was well-received by critics, who praised its unique format and Lisa Kudrow's performance as Valerie. However, the show was cancelled after one season due to low ratings. Nine years later, in 2014, HBO revived the series for a second season, which continued Valerie's story and addressed the changing landscape of reality television.

In the second season, Valerie lands a role in a new HBO drama series, but struggles to balance her personal life and career. The show received positive reviews for its exploration of themes such as aging, fame, and the entertainment industry. Despite this, there are currently no plans for a third season.

Comedy & Humor
Their friends acknowledge it always has been this way: Tina Fay gets lots of headlines and personal appearances while Amy Poehler does the majority of the comic heavy lifting. The trend continues in NBC's high-powered Thursday night comedy line-up as Fay continues driving "30Rock" to the top of Nielsen's charts and Poehler brilliantly busts-out gut-busters with her new sit-com "Parks and Recreation." In much the style of "The Office," Poehler's "Parks and Recreation" TV show works the popular mockumentary format; and her character, Leslie Knope, willingly gives voice to her relentless optimism as she speaks directly into the camera. Leslie serves as the Deputy Director of the parks and recreation department in Pawnee, Indiana, where she considers herself a rising star in the local political firmament. Think of her as the female equivalent of Steve Carrell's "Office" character, prone to pretzelating the truth with observations like, "These people are members of a community that care about where they live. So what I hear when I'm being yelled at is people caring loudly at me." Professionals devoted to the sad enterprise of explaining the jokes stress that Poehler's genius lies in her ability to make an obvious ditz both funny and sympathetic rather than just plain weak. Women may not feel inspired to vote for Leslie, but they cannot help loving her.
