Arlii$$ (1996-2002)


Genre: TV / Comedy
Starring: Robert Wuhl, Sandra Oh, Jim Turner, Michael Boatman
Number of seasons: 7



Arliss Michaels is a sports agent with his own management company. He works with Rita Wu, his personal assistant, Kirby Carlisle, a retired football player turned agent, and Stanley Babson, an uptight financial advisor. Arliss goes through life concentrated mostly on his work, trying to make the best deals possible and catering to his client’s every need.

It is a wonder how this show could last all of 7 seasons. The acting was fine, but the material was very uneven. There were some funny spots here and there, but there were also a lot of boring moments. Through the years, the cameos from a multitude of athletes were a nice addition, but it was not enough to rise that show to greatness. At least, it ended with a bit of closure, which is always a positive thing.
