Barely Famous

Barely Famous is one of those shows where Hollywood people make fun of Hollywood people. It follows two sisters making a reality show that they insist is not a reality show. One tries to trade on her fading fame (she was in a series that was canceled a few years ago) and the other is uncomfortable with the celebrity-filled world she's lived in her whole life. (At least, that's what was going on in the pilot.)

It's a cute show, and has some funny moments. The sisters are reasonably likable. But it's no where near the level of a sharp Hollywood satire like The Larry Sanders Show or a silly mocking of the life like So Notorious or Grosse Pointe.

I wouldn't discourage anyone from watching it, but for myself, one episode was enough.
