one of the best sitcoms ever
by bkl (new york city)
sadly this show only lasted one season. lisa kudrow steps out of the well received character of phoebe to star in and produce one of the most intelligent comedies ever. i can never get enough of following the life and times of valerie cherish.

Gotta Cherish Valerie Cherish
by D. Blyskal (Los Angeles, CA)
I think I'm a little biased, seeing as how I BOUGHT this DVD set because I loved the show ((I rented it from Netflix, and HAD to own it)). But maybe if I share the other kind of things I love, it will help others figure out if it's their kind of show...
First of all, I want to preface this review with an important fact: I HAAAAATE Lisa Kudrow in Friends. Well, I shouldn't say that...I guess I just hated the character of Phoebe. I was always like "We GET it, you're crazy and weird and ethereal and stupid". So I wasn't actually looking forward to a whole show that centered around Lisa Kudrow ((because as I implied, I thought I didn't like Phoebe because of LK)). But OH MY GAWD is this show hilarious.
That being said, I'm a huge fan of the mockumentary feeling shows, which is what "The Comeback" is. I mean, it's a fake reality show, so you kind of get the same feel as "The Office" and "Parks & Recreation"...very Christopher Guest (("Waiting for Guffman" is one of my absolute fave movies)). And it's totaly fluid too, you don't sit there thinking "Wait that doesn't make sense with what happened before!" ((which I, much to chagrin of my co-watchers, tend to do)).
So like I said it might help if I list shows I like that are similar. SNL is my absolute favorite show in the world, and of course "The Office". Also LOVE "30 Rock" and "Family Guy". I think you get the picture.
Hope that helps! And hope you all enjoy it! I know I did!
4/5
Loved this show !
by Ann (Southeast Texas)
I'd never heard of this show when I purchased it & I am glad that I did. This show peels back the inner workings of a sitcom and the life of it's main character (Valerie Cherish)with hilarious results.What made it so compelling was the feeling, that it was drawn form reality with a dash of tongue in cheek thrown in; to keep it from becoming sad.The story is about an aging hollywood actress who made it BIg at one time and then faded into obscurity.She is cast in a new sitcom and is excited to revive her flagging career, only to find that she is in a supporting role and not the main character. what is worse, she is stripped of any good lines and as time goes by she becomes frumpier and frumpier.Valerie tries to fulfill the role of a sexy aunt, to the main character but they cover her up with variations of velour tracksuits instead.If you want a laugh that pokes fun at sitcoms, then this is it. I definitely recommend it.
5/5
On time
by royal nonesuch (usa)
Arrived on time and as described.
Well made but a downer. I couldn't get all the way through it.
5/5
Excellent
by Nicole T. Flowers (Los Angeles. CA)
Lisa Kudrow's performance is so multi-layered it deserves all the accolade in the world. THE COMEBACK should be watched again and again and again.
The Comeback - The Complete Only Season Summary
In The Spirit Of Reality Television, There Seems To Be No End To The Humiliating Circumstances Valerie Cherish Will Endure, All In The Name Of Fame.
How wickedly ironic--and delicious--that Lisa Kudrow's single season of
The Comeback
provided the talented actress with enough meat for her to be nominated for an Emmy--after the show was canceled by HBO. Kudrow went for the Anti-Phoebe role after the demise of
Friends
, demonstrating her spectacular acting chops and range of comic abilities. The show centered on Kudrow's playing an actress, once
the
ingénue of the moment, trying ever more desperately to get back into the limelight. The vehicle of choice: a reality "series" that follows Kudrow's Valerie Cherish into scenarios with the deck more than stacked against her. Kudrow's acid delivery and willingness to show Valerie's raw pain, ambition, and obsequiousness make for engrossing and poignant, if squirm-inducing, viewing. Valerie's fond memory of being on Leno: when a fellow guest's monkey unexpectedly relieves himself on her head. "It was a real water-cooler moment," she says, desperately spinning. "And you know, this was Leno's first year. So it was a real important show for him too!" The boxed set includes all 13 episodes and some yummy extras, including a new "interview" with Valerie Cherish, an appearance by Valerie backstage at
Dancing with the Stars
, and backstage dish with series creators Kudrow and Michael Patrick King. The series, though short-lived demonstrates why Kudrow is one of our most talented actresses; here's hoping for a succession of more Comebacks.
