Everyone in this forum is so quick to criticize this show, but NO ONE here is putting the show in context! Not only is it no Law and Order, but they are not even trying to give that impression!
The show is all a spoof: It's spoofing Hollywood, It's spoofing bimbos, it's spoofing female cliches... Hell, it's even spoofing itself.
The point of the show is not to watch and analyze the characters' decisions! It is meant to be watched as a show making fun of itself.
You say that Val is stupid to do bodyguarding with High Heels? Well what would the show be like if she had dressed up in a skin-tight sexy suit which was perfect for bodyguarding?? Then the humor wouldn't be humor and Val wouldn't be Val. Where's the fun in that?
You people need to open your eyes, and watch this show with a lighter heart. If you want something slick with smooth people who just won't understand your jokes, then go watch the X-files!

Sure, it may be cheesy, but that's the whole point! The show does exactly what it aims to do: Have lots of action and lots of laughs. Sure, Pamela Anderson isn't that great of an actress, but the rest of a cast does a great job, despite the material they are given!
I've been watching this show for a while now and I like it. It's not to be taken so seriously. They're more like comic book characters. It shows that Pamela Anderson Lee has a sense of humor. She's not a barbie doll. I think that's just envy talking. A lot of people said the same thing about Goldie Hawn and she's a good actress. She's beautiful, she can't help that. And finally, the show has gotten an emmy nomination and it's not because of the wardrobe.
sure VIP's not the most intelligent or thought provoking show, but that doesn't make it bad. Reading the other user's comments it's clear that many are missing the point of this show. It's an action comedy, with emphasis on comedy. It's a fun waste of an hour.
Like so many I know, I have little interest in any show with a high jiggle factor. I was prepared to hate V.I.P. I caught one episode to watch a guest star and found myself laughing and actually enjoying the show. V.I.P. comes at you on at least two different levels. On one, there is exciting action and uncomplicated plots typical of the A-Team: bad guys who do bad things always get caught by an eclectic team of good guys, each with special talents and rampant egos. On another level, there is glamour, glitz, ditz, jiggle, and jokes making fun of glamour, glitz, ditz, and jiggle, most at Miss Anderson's willing expense. I would recommend V.I.P. and ask that you give it a try. It's actually a fun show.
