Product Description:
Forget everything you've ever heard about Tori Spelling. OK maybe not everything. It s true her dad is the most successful TV producer of all time and she did spend a decade playing the virginal Donna Martin on his hit show Beverly Hills 90210. But now that Tori has left that zip code and her parents' mansion behind she wants the same things we all do: friendship respect and love. Used to tabloid scrutiny Tori navigates life with a self-deprecating sense of humor and the support of a loyal crew of friends she s know since high school along with her devoted manager her beloved nanny and her ever scrutinizing mother Kiki the ultimate Beverly Hills housewife.System Requirements:Running Time 221 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: PG UPC: 097368507746 Manufacturer No: 850774

So what do you do if your hit TV show went off the air in 2000, your last studio film was Scary Movie 2, and you've become tabloid fodder and a sure-fire pop culture punchline? If you're plucky Tori Spelling, you go the Fat Actress route and co-create and bravely star in a TV series that takes a self-deprecating look at your life. In an interview with Tori included amongst the ample bonus features, she reveals this series was born out of "years of people laughing at me." Making lemonade out of her lemon of a career, she seems to have taken Robin Williams' maxim to heart: "Joke 'em if they can't take a (blank)." While this is decidedly a fictionalized portrayal, there is, with a bow towards Stephen Colbert, a playful "truthiness" to So NoTORious that will appeal to her fans and even her detractors. There are, at her expense, plastic surgery jokes, eating disorder jokes, and, hitting way close to home, nepotism jokes, as when Tori insists to uber-producer father, Aaron (cleverly heard, but not seen, a la Charlie in Charlie's Angels) that she thinks it best if she gets her own acting jobs, adding, "Unless, of course, you want to buy me a studio... No, daddy, don't do it. I was just kidding."
Through miserable dates, disastrous parties, and career setbacks, So NoTORIous is nearly as cringe-worthy as Curb Your Enthusiasm, although unlike the irascible Larry David, our heart goes out to the hapless Tori, game as she is to somehow right the ship of public perception of her as a "spoiled Beverly Hills princess who's had everything handed to her." "I'm trying to keep a low profile," she complains at one point, and accordingly, the series does not feature many star cameos or appearances by her Beverly Hills 90210 costars. Farrah Fawcett does a nifty turn as herself in the episode "Plucky," and Whoopi Goldberg appears as a psychic in "Cursed" ("You are a wretched, miserable soul," she divines). Making a welcome return to the small screen is Loni Anderson (WKRP in Cincinnati) as Tori's neglectful and self-absorbed mother (which certainly couldn't have helped the well-publicized real-life rift between Tori and her mater). Who knows where Tori's career goes from here? Based on So NoTORIous, there could be a Suddenly Susan in her future! --Donald Liebenson

I found the episodes really funny. I was familar with the show when it aired on VH-1 but only saw a couple of the episodes. You can watch them over and over and still find them funny. If you are a Tori fan then it is a must have.

I like the show, but not NEARLY as well as Tori and Dean's show. I LOVE their show, especially the second season. Can't wait for it to come out on DVD. I already have Season 1. I really didn't know too much about either of them to begin with but their show is really entertaining and tells a lot about them. It's really nice.

I just finished reading Tori's book sTori Telling and this DVD series was mentioned throughout the book that it was written based on real experiences that Tori encountered in her life but put together in a comical way for television entertainment. The DVD series was hilarious and very well casted according to the characters/photos in the book.
The episodes are less than 30 minutes each so if you need a few laughs between meals, chores or bedtime, this is the DVD to watch.

i think that because of everyone's previous feelings about tori spelling clouded the greatness of this show. which is sad, because in reality it's clever and funny.
when it first aired, i wasn't one of those people who had any preconceived feelings toward miss spelling. i didn't like her but i didn't hate her.
but once i saw this show, i really loved it and one day wanted to purchase the dvd set.
so i was in blockbuster and the whole season pre-viewed was ... Read More

I have been a long fan of Tori Spelling. I am always happy to see how humble she is to everyone and everything she has in her life. So Notorious is a great insight on the life of Tori Spelling, based on some actual storylines that have happened in her life. This show was very under rated. She is a great comedian and anyone that is so talked about in public that can push that aside and make fun of herself I say has great character. The best part of the series are her vivid flashbacks on her life of ... Read More
