Stacked is an American television show on Fox. It first aired in 2005 and was hailed as the opposite of Cheers (instead of a smart person in a "dumb" place, it is based on the concept of perceived-as-dumb person in a "smart" place). A workplace ensemble comedy, Stacked revolves around beautiful Skyler Dayton (Pamela Anderson) who is tired of her non-stop partying lifestyle and bad choices in boyfriends. Wanting a major life change, she wanders into "Stacked Books," a small family-run bookstore owned by Gavin DeWitt (Elon Gold) and his brother, Stuart (Brian Scolaro).
Divorced and unlucky in love himself, Gavin's inclined to regard Skyler as an embodiment of the vacuous, image-obsessed culture he has come to abhor. Stuart, however, is dazzled by Skyler's beauty and, much to Gavin's horror, offers her a job at their store, which she happily accepts as the first step in her quest for a steadier lifestyle. Unhappy that she's going to be minding the till next to such an intimidating bombshell is the store's sole other employee, Katrina (Marissa Jaret Winokur), who doles out doses of realism and cynicism. Rounding out the characters is the store's one steady customer, Harold March (Christopher Lloyd), a preeminent, but retired, rocket scientist.
Tagline: You can't judge a book by its cover - especially when it's only covered by a miniskirt and a baby-tee.
Cast
- Pamela Anderson - Skyler Dayton, tired of her non-stop partying lifestsyle, enters "Stacked," a small family-run bookstore, and takes a job.
- Elon Gold - Gavin Miller is divorced and unlucky in love. He sees Skyler as representative of the vacuous, image-obsessed culture he has come to abhor.
- Brian Scolaro - Stuart Miller is the brother of Gavin. He is smitten with Skyler and offers her a job at the store.
- Marissa Jaret Winokur - Katrina works at the store's coffee counter. She feels threatened by Skyler's presence. She is also chronically unlucky, having grown two sets of wisdom teeth, found herself knocked out while behind stage at an Aerosmith concert, and is always late for work.
- Christopher Lloyd - Professor Harold March is a regular customer to whom Katrina always reveals her nefarious plans. Skyler loves to play with his hair. He is always reading the newspaper. His presence commands gravitas, however whenever he speaks, he sounds like a crazy man.
The Bookstore
All of the books seen in the show are provided by HarperCollins. Books that are prominently displayed are based on New York Times bestsellers list. Some titles seen include State of Fear, Don Quixote, The Known World, and One Soldier's Story.
The entire bookstore is one main set, though there are three centric locales: the coffee shop, the till, and the back office (which has a door). There are stairs on the set next to the coffee shop, but we do not know where they lead. There is also an elevator near the magazine racks, behind the coffee shop.
