Pamela Anderson to Showcase Her Bookish Assets

Posted on March 30, 2005

Fox is moving ahead with the new Pamela Anderson sitcom set to debut in April, 2005. The show, called Stacked, centers around former party girl Skyler Dayton (played by Pam) who wanders into a bookstore called The Stacks to look for advice on how to shed her hard-living ways and string of bad boyfriends. The shop's owner thinks she's really superficial, but his brother and co-owner sees past her exterior to the sensitive girl within the sweater and offers her a job selling books (clearly the brother has all the marketing know-how in this family).

Now, before you start sniping at us, consider that Christopher Lloyd (Taxi, Back to the Future) has joined the cast and Steven Levitan (Just Shoot Me and Jeffrey Richman (Wings, Frasier) are executive producing. The word is that the writing will be smart and funny. And, if the promo shots from the network are any indication, Ms. Anderson will be selling copies of The Da Vinci Code while wearing Daisy Duke shorts and high heels, which could do wonders for the "Sexiness" factor of independent bookstores.
