THE SHOW

"Move over, Carrie Bradshaw. There's a new dame on TV. This woman is a woman's woman. Beautiful, smart, not so hot with men, a better friend to her gal pal than she is to herself. Talented, and yet not quite grasping that brass ring. The woman is Jackie Woodman."
- THE AUSTIN CHRONICLE

"...as the cringe-worthy moments abound, we're strangely (and guiltily) drawn back for more."
- ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"...the kind of drawling feminist sarcasm rarely seen since Roseanne left sitcomdom."
- TIME MAGAZINE

"Kightlingers buoyantly cynical brand of comedy is somewhere between Sarah Silvermans bubblegum shock and Kathy Griffins devilish glee... when a TV comedy gives me the chance to laugh more at funny women than funny men, Im onboard."
- LA WEEKLY

THE SHOW

From creator, star and writer Laura Kightlinger and writer David Punch, The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman follows two 'thirty-something' women, Jackie Woodman (Laura Kightlinger; Will & Grace, Lucky Louie) and her best friend Tara Wentzel (Nicholle Tom; The Nanny) whose willful ignorance, fleeting confidence, poor judgment and self-loathing constantly get in the way of their success.

SYNOPSIS
When we first met Jackie, a surly magazine writer and aspiring screenwriter, and Tara, an underling at a film production company, the two were navigating their way through the gritty realities of Hollywood. From the latest celebrity cults, to stolen movie scripts, backstabbing relationships and mounds of coke, our modern-day, nihilistic Laverne and Shirley managed to pull each other out of the Tinsel Town gutter – and now they're ready to do it all again. Back for another season, the girls – always their own worst enemy – face new obstacles, including the arrival of Jackie’s meddling mother Jeanette (Mary Kay Place), a brief stint as lesbians for personal gain and surviving L.A.'s state of emergency with the help of some potent brew. Can Jackie and Tara find fame and fortune, or are they destined for only minor accomplishments?
