Editorial Review:
From IFCTV, The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman is a herky-jerky romp through Hollywood. Jackie Woodman (Kightlinger), a writer for a second rate indie film rag, and Tara, a low-level employee at a film production company, are determined to succeed in this fast paced LA scene. Armed only with willful ignorance, fleeting confidence and poor judgment, this lovable, and barely functional duo continually screw up, yet, somehow manage to persevere and stay best friends.
The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman Reviews:
A treasure 
2009-11-22 - This item was so hard for me to find stores so when I found it on amazon I was so excited. The price was better than anything I could have found in stores. And not only that, but I had it delivered to my door, so I didn't even have to leave the house. It was delivered before the date suggested and in the original wrapping.
One of the best show's you've never seen 
2008-06-16 - IFC's The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman isn't always a laugh out loud send-up the movie business (like, well, IFC's other send-up The Business), but where it succeeds are in some small moments of pure brilliance that really make the show something special. The criminally underrated Laura Kightlinger stars as Jackie Woodman; a would-be screen-writer stuck writing for a Hollywood rag. Her best friend and frequent driver Tara (an all grown up Nicholle Tom) is along for the ride, as Jackie finds herself getting wooed by a graphic novelist (Giuseppe Andrews) and then having to work with him, along with experiencing the "joys" of peyote, and finally getting addicted to a prescription drug and becoming even more addicted to an uber-conservative radio host (Ray Wise). The characters are richly brought to life, and while the show isn't instantly enjoyable right off the bat, it still comes off as something special to behold. All in all, The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman is a show that deserves your attention, and this is a DVD worth picking up to boot.
Comedic Perfection
2008-06-04 - This show is one of the funnier things I've ever seen- the writing is great and the characters, wonderfully played by Laura Kightlinger and Nicholle Tom, are believable people, making the show all the more worthwhile. The comedy is bitter, but really well done, and the plot lines don't get old- an easy pitfall for shows about Hollywood. Overall, a great effort, can't wait for more!
Great underrated t.v. show
2008-05-15 - This is a subversive, funny, and smart t.v. show that too few people know about. Laura Kightlinger and Nichole Tom are an amazing duo--a classic pairing of friends like Lucy and Ethel or Laverne and Shirley! Only drunk on martinis or high on peyote. This is the other Los Angeles that only people who live here know is the real one!
I loved this on IFC - that's why I bought the DVD series
2008-05-04 - This is a great series - A very updated spin on the old MTM show - Unfortunately the 3rd season became a victim of the writer's strike and the series was not renewed.
