OK, I admit it. I'm checking it out. After 20 minutes, I have no idea what this show is going to be about, but Farrah has made me laugh. Twice. Anyone else care to come forward?

I watched about 20 minutes and wasn't captivated but have the first two shows on my dvr so will probably watch at least those. Just seems odd and self-conscious but I guess we know now that even if it is a character destroying disaster it can still be a hit or lead to endorsements. Too bad because Farrah is actually a talented dramatic actress on her good days.

Oh and it will give at least one minor reality friend some more minutes of fame.. Alana Stewart (Of I'm a Celbrity get me out of here, which I did enjoy)

I thought it was sort of unique in that it was all about negotiating the show and living with the cameras. Might not rush to watch it but may try to catch reruns.

Darn I didn't realize it was already running. I'll have to find it. I don't know where I read or herad this comment but it stuck with me. Farrah was asked what is it like doing a reality show instead of an acting gig. She responded by saying...it's still acting. Don't let anyone fool you. When the cameras are on you can't help but be slightly different than when cameras are not around. At least she's honest.

I think it is running over and over so you should be able to catch it.. I saw the first two eps and of course there will be a draw in seeing Farrah and Ryan together. It isn't quite as cringeworthy as Anna Nicole's show for me but Farrah is just far more appealing, and I'm not speaking of appealing only in a physical sense. Still has a manic, high-on-more-than-just-life quality to me and maybe it is hard for a celeb to be innocent of the possibilities, as I think the Osbournes were.. I'll continue recording and probably watch a couple more to see if there is more to see than just Farrah staring into a mirror, Farrah always being late and petulant/teasing and Farrah being WAY too aware of the cameras and camerapeople. I agree, she's honest, and I liked that.

I kinda liked it. It didn't feel like it was too messed with. It was nice to see Ryan too! I agree about the self-consciousness of it, but she said she's not comfortable yet with the whole idea, so I'm sure as it goes on, she'll relax more. Had to laugh when she and Alana stopped for pizza, and this guy was proclaiming his love for Farrah and offering her his buildings. LOL. Too funny.

I've really been enjoying this show. It shows why actors, or those who pretend to be actors, as so delusional: they have so many people around them protecting them that they never have to deal with anything that might screw up their skewed perceptions. [Tonight, when she talked about contemplating a facelift, I thought to myself, "uh, Farrah, you've done more than contemplate it, sweety. And more than once, I think. And you didn't stop at your face, either" But then I realized I was just behaving in the way this show critiques even though it celebrates it. Or something like that. It's the underlying paradox of the show.] It's a strange format because it's almost more "how to make a reality show about Farrah Fawcett" than it is "a reality show about Farrah Fawcett," but that's probably because she's so aware of the cameras and she recognizes she's being produced every moment. I mean, how weird is it that her *publicist* of all people is on the show behaving like a publicist by telling us how unique our experience with Farrah is?! It's completely absurd but somehow so right.

i was surprised that i liked it also. i also liked that she talked to the sound guy and the camera guy. they are real people. and not just ignored them. Also i like hearing from the people of her life, that explains them. her stylist, sure can tell us what farrah is like.

I also was surprised that I liked it. My sister told me to watch it because she found it funny so I finally caught an episode this morning. Her and her "embankment". Ryan is soaking up his time on the show too. And the fans! The guy with the high school yearbook. I didn't realize that so many people are still loving Farrah.

Is anyone watching this show? I just caught about 10 mins of it - I've never seen it before. It was so touching, I cried. The episode was one of those "In Memory Of..."

I';m ashamed to say I cried at the last episode too. Thank goodness someone broke the silence so my shame could become public. This is really a very good show.

I like it too. If you do a search on tvguide.com for "finding farrah", they list the repeat times for the episodes. The one with her folks that is replaying now (only a couple more times, though) was actually very touching.

Darn, I keep forgetting about this show. I've seen one episode (the one w/Ryan O'Neal). I liked it. I'll have to try to find when it shows on TVLand. I forgot the night/time. I'll have to catch up on reruns. (same with Project Greenlight).

I watched it once and was bored. I haven't watched since because it is on opposite of something else I watch regularly and didn't consider it worthy of wasting a tape on. I don't remember her having such a strange nose back in her heyday. Is it a product of cosmetic surgery gone awry?
