Before 'The Last Showgirl,' Pamela Anderson Was the Standout of This Lesser-Known Sitcom

Before Pamela Anderson was winning awards at festivals for her performance in The Last Showgirl, she starred in the short-lived Fox sitcom Stacked. The series, created by Steve Levitan (who went on to create Modern Family), was a ratings failure for a variety of reasons. Anderson herself had a lowbrow reputation, which was reinforced by the show’s title being a pun about boobs and the multicam format, which was starting to fall out of favor on every network besides CBS. The show is widely considered pretty trashy, partially due to preconceptions about Anderson but also due to sleazy overtones in Fox’s marketing (one of the bonus features on the DVDs is called “Nipplegate: Getting Dressed with Pam”). But, it’s worth revisiting Anderson’s endearing lead performance. Even on a much-maligned show, her star quality shines through.
