Place your bets: will Kid Notorious last longer than, oh, six episode?

Oh, look, a show about a slimy Hollywood socialite. Because nobody's ever made a show about Hollywood before. I wonder what the American people will think of this mysterious, far-off land, and its secretive culture?

I don't think I'll even watch it. And I watched most of an episode of Stripperella.

Strangers with Candy is one of those acquired-taste shows. I always wondered who the hell would make a show like that, but the more I learned about Amy Sedaris, both through TV appearance and her brother David's various audio books, the more it started to make sense.

Kid Notorious, in contrast, smells like demographic pandering to the MTV/Ben-and-J-Lo crowd.

Well, I've not yet seen Kid Notorious, but I hadn't planned on seeing it either. I suppose I'll avoid it like the plague now, along with Knee High P.I.

Er. Knee-High P.I., I hope, marks the end of midget-exploitation chic.

I do hope it's not replaced with albino-exploitation chic.
