When I first experienced a few episodes of this I didn't know it had been on the air this long.Just the title gave a bad first impression, emphasizing a person's wealth in finding love. Not my kind of show--more like being along for the ride. Like many shows which doesn't interest me I didn't knock it cause other people might like it, right? There's a whole lot of negative reviews some of which doesn't seem to get it. Some asks how this offensive presentation made it to air? One reviewer was spot on in appreciating the entertainment aspect of it. Five years on the air because enough people are watching. What determines a show's success more than substance? Ratings!
Seeing is believing. When this show came along, I watched it as light material, nothing to be taken too seriously. Apparently one of them did take it serious, Bridget, talking about marriage to Hefner while he was also with Holly and Kendra. This show was billed as reality TV, and yes it's real, real in making the phoniness obvious of how an elderly man can be in a relationship with 3 women young enough to be his granddaughters. That's a scenario which rarely exist in the real world outside of the Playboy Mansion. Hef is old and no longer the pioneering founder that he was. He's now a creepy senior citizen who should date women near his age instead of contributing to the yuck factor.
Right now it feels like it would have been a high risk bet that Patrick Dempsey's career wouldn't survived the 1980s. It did. Carrie Fisher, Robert Picardo, Dylan Walsh and Kirstie Alley have done well for themselves too. Kate Jackson stars as Dempsey's mom, Diane Bodek. Randy Bodek (Dempsey) is the "Loverboy" in this doped up teen comedy which isn't bad for what it is. Randy works at Senor Pizza but wants to make more money to impress his girlfriend, Jenny (Nancy Halen). He scores older women to make extra cash on the side. Comically, he services women like Dr. Joyce Palmer (Alley), Monica (Fisher), and Kyoko (Kim Miyori). Randy's newfound popularity is the talk of the town, and people start to look into it with ensuing hilarity. Only in a comedy could a dude realistically justify whoring himself out for his girlfriend's benefit.
