Ten years ago she was TV's "It" girl. Now It's a different story. For Valerie Cherish, no price is too high to pay for clinging to the television spotlight. Lisa Kudrow stars as Valerie Cherish, a former B-list sitcom star so desperate to revive her career that she agrees to star in a reality television show called The Comeback.

Yet another Hollywood verite comedy specializing in moments of discomfort and humiliation, this "totally scripted" series from "Sex and the City's" Michael Patrick King and "Friends" star Lisa Kudrow is significantly better than recent additions to the genre but less than a triumphant return. At its best, "The Comeback" provides insight into a world in which turning 40 means being cast aside in the brutal quest for the next hot thing. At its worst, it's one more self-referential ode to a self-obsessed town on a channel that has overly indulged that impulse. - Brian Lowry
