Pity poor veteran sitcom showrunner Steve Levitan. Instead of embracing the fact that his Stacked's been designed entirely around Pamela Anderson's world-beating rack, Levitan forgets for a moment that the show's got a weak breast pun for a title and feels he must play up the show's intelligence in the NYT:

But first audiences will have to buy Ms. Anderson as someone who could plausibly sell a John Dos Passos novel, or at least as the star of a family-friendly sitcom. "You might think it's silly - that she's going to be Chrissy from 'Three's Company,' " said Steven Levitan, the creator and executive producer of "Stacked" and a veteran producer of the NBC hits "Just Shoot Me" and "Frasier." "I'm hoping that people are very surprised that it's actually an intelligent show that deals with real issues, that is not just a chance for Pam Anderson to wear small outfits and grab ratings." [...]

"We really want to honor the tradition of good multicamera television comedy," he said. "People are concerned that it's a dying breed. Maybe, just maybe, somebody like Pam Anderson can save it."

First he tries to sell this as a smart show, and now he's calling Pamela Anderson the Messiah of the multi-camera sitcom? Levitan's obviously spent a little too much time being suffocated between Pamela Anderson's pneumatic Nielsen-attractors, and was still woozy from a lack of oxygen to the brain when he did this interview. At least he stopped short of calling his star "a combination of Jesus Christ and Lucille Ball, but with gigantic tits."
