Editorial Review:

Description:
From IFCTV, The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman is a herky-jerky romp through Hollywood. Jackie Woodman (Kightlinger), a writer for a second rate indie film rag, and Tara, a low-level employee at a film production company, are determined to succeed in this fast paced LA scene. Armed only with willful ignorance, fleeting confidence and poor judgment, this lovable, and barely functional duo continually screw up, yet, somehow manage to persevere and stay best friends.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The problem is I don't know how to read...
I would not blame you if you never heard of this show. It showed up on my 'recommended for you' list and watched a few clips on Youtube.
I also would not blame you if you switched this show off when you saw it... the theme music hurts the ears, the intro makes no sense and if you flicked into any part of the show for 30 seconds you would probably be offended (or at least, you should be offended).

But I really like this show, cynical and nasty in a relaistic way, and darkly funny ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - One of the best show's you've never seen
IFC's The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman isn't always a laugh out loud send-up the movie business (like, well, IFC's other send-up The Business), but where it succeeds are in some small moments of pure brilliance that really make the show something special. The criminally underrated Laura Kightlinger stars as Jackie Woodman; a would-be screen-writer stuck writing for a Hollywood rag. Her best friend and frequent driver Tara (an all grown up Nicholle Tom) is along for the ride, as Jackie finds ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Comedic Perfection
This show is one of the funnier things I've ever seen- the writing is great and the characters, wonderfully played by Laura Kightlinger and Nicholle Tom, are believable people, making the show all the more worthwhile. The comedy is bitter, but really well done, and the plot lines don't get old- an easy pitfall for shows about Hollywood. Overall, a great effort, can't wait for more!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great underrated t.v. show
This is a subversive, funny, and smart t.v. show that too few people know about. Laura Kightlinger and Nichole Tom are an amazing duo--a classic pairing of friends like Lucy and Ethel or Laverne and Shirley! Only drunk on martinis or high on peyote. This is the other Los Angeles that only people who live here know is the real one!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - I loved this on IFC - that's why I bought the DVD series
This is a great series - A very updated spin on the old MTM show - Unfortunately the 3rd season became a victim of the writer's strike and the series was not renewed.
