oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- 1996, Rather mad TV sketch characters comedy series, Tracey Ullman is a sleazy, tough talking New Yorker, an opinionated shop owner, an earthy make-up artist, a gay male flight attendant or what? This hit is all of the above? The answer is 'all of the above'. The series featuring the comedian playing multiple roles with each episode devoted to a specific theme of watching the human condition.*Special Stars- Tracey Ullman *Theme- People are funny and act odd in public.*Based on- Tracey Ullman writing and character comedy from observational situations in the USA .*Trivia/location/goofs- This series was developed out of the cartoon TV show. 'The Simpsons'. It is shot in Los Angeles. This show was nominated for TV's 'Emmy".*Emotion- This film provides us with an comedy experience of the like as Lucille Ball or Carol Burnet at the height of their two careers. It is a unforgettable funny show for anyone. This film was full of great comedic performances that have become 'staples' of Ullman on camera history. Ullman shows us a feel good funny show.
LuvSopr A charming blend of old favorites (Kay), new faces (Linda Granger, Ruby Romaine), strong guest stars, and inventive sketches. My favorites were Ruby and Linda, but I loved nearly every single one. A truly entertaining and wildly creative series, and a superb showcase for Tracey.
jayson_b American comedy series in which British-born Ullman `takes on' a particular subject each episode and parodies it through various characters.Tracey Ullman is, without doubt, a very talented performer. Accomplished actress, singer (with some hit singles to her name), dancer, comedienne, television personality - she can do it all. Assuming countless guises in this show (all convincing and some completely unrecognizable), she proves that if you were casting a film, one only need cast Ullman for ninety percent of the characters. Unfortunately, it's the material which lets her down. Lame jokes, unfunny skits and poor writing sink what could have been a terrific series. Understandably, it's geared for an American audience, with in-jokes and a very American point of view - most of which fell completely flat in front of this Australian. In addition, her likeable characters seem to feature much less than the loud-mouthed, obnoxious ones.Had Tracey enlisted some better writers, the show would've been a winner. Still, she performs admirably given what she's got and the show is tolerable, simply to watch Ullman's ability to portray so many characters believably.
Bella-33 I love this show. If you don't have HBO I suggest you run out and rent a few videos. This is sketch comedy at its best. She takes on any and every character you could imagine. The gay airline steward, Trevor. Then there's a Leslie Abrahamson type attorney, Sydney. Former make-up artist to the stars turned lush Ruby Romaine. The list goes on and on. If you're an Tracy Ullman fan you won't be disappointed. Check it out!
