BREAKING UP WITH SHANNEN DOHERTY, Rare 2006 DVD, Pilot episode, Oxygen Channel

Description: This is a rare promotional DVD. It features the pilot episode of Shannen's short lived TV series. The DVDs runs about 22 minutes and there is a time code at the bottom of the screen throughout the program. The DVD comes in a plain jewel case with no insert and no cover. The DVD has basic information printed on it. In the series, actress Shannen Doherty joins forces with people in a relationship peril who want to get out but just can not seem to do it on their own. She listens to the plight of her new "client" and put their mates to the test by creating a fictitious situation - caught by a hidden camera - to determine the true character of the relationship. If the test is failed, Doherty then helps put the relationship out of its misery. In each episode, Doherty helps mastermind the break-up, and be on the scene to deliver the news and resolve the break-up. The goal at the end is for both parties to agree that it's all for the best and it's time to move on. In this debut episode, Shannen Doherty helps former Miss Arkansas break up with her boyfriend. The women have a special dinner planned for him, which involves a clairvoyant chef making the meal. So you want to break up with your significant other and don't have the heart to do it yourself. Who you gonna call? Shannen Doherty! Hers isn't the first name that comes to mind, of course, but the Oxygen network hopes to hit the viewer's irony bone by giving the twice-married "Beverly Hills, 90210" star and '90s tabloid superstar -- not known for her winning interpersonal skills -- a relationship show to call her own. In "Breaking Up With Shannen Doherty," the host does the dumping for those in broken relationships who are too spineless to do the deed. The potential for laughs is there, considering Doherty's police-blottered past, which includes a former boyfriend seeking a restraining order and her being forced to attend anger management classes. Regrettably, what we get is a kinder, gentler, Oprahesque Doherty, and what could have been an amusing debacle winds up being an annoying muddle. Doherty doesn't do much actual breaking up at all. She winds up serving as a facilitator in a hidden-camera show, which sets up situations designed to determine the character of relationships gone bad. First up is Tamara Henry, a former Miss Arkansas and ex-TV anchor in Fresno, Calif., who wants to break up with Steve, the biggest jerk to appear on a reality show in weeks. Steve, whom she's been dating for 16 months, says things like, "We got into a huge fight last night but it was your fault, right, honey?" and "Technically, I'm a lesbian." (Get it, because he's a guy who likes girls? And lesbians like girls, too. Hee-hee.) In a confusing setup that Tamara is in on, she and Steve arrive at a fake restaurant where an actor portraying a "psychic chef" tries to draw out the worst in Steve. It works. Doherty watches it all from a TV screen just outside the setting, muttering such things as, "I cant wait to dump you," and "Oh, you're a brute." But all she does is walk into the scene, after Tamara exits briefly, introduce herself and proceed to deliver a videotaped message from Tamara in which the girlfriend says it's over.
