      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Kirstie Alley pokes fun at her real life experiences in an unforgiving Hollywood. Starring as herself

    DVD Picture:
    This series is presented on two DVDs and is anamorphically enhanced at 1.78:1. Images are often soft and hazy, though details are generally adequate. Colors are bright and loud and can have a smeared appearance. Fleshtones occasionally seem a but ruddy. The picture exhibits compression problems typical of DVDs with bit rates as low as 2 Mbps. Overall, the picture is passable at best. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Dialogue is overly bright, to the level of strident, in these Dolby

    Reason #115 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review as my premiere source for the latest in home theatre technology. The articles are extra detailed and packed with detailed information. My theory is the higher level of detail you try to absorb, the more you will actually retain down the road. Kind of like college, where the things you learned in the first two years are engrained because you used the principles over and over again in your last two years
