Then there’s the issue of Kat’s crush, Max Kingbird (Cheyenne Jackson). As hilarious as Bialik’s commentary can be, the more often it occurred the more eager I became to get back to the action of the main plot. However, she breaks the fourth wall with such frequency that it quickly becomes irritating.
In small doses, her interactions with the viewers help to enhance the lovable quirkiness of the show. For instance, Kat addresses the audience directly throughout each episode. a talented leading lady and unique plot), few have been utilized well enough to work on screen. Unlike Kat, whose determination to be true to herself no matter what life throws at her is captivating to watch, these two lacked the necessary depth to be interesting beyond their ability to make me smile (which Phil did on a regular basis).Īlthough “Call Me Kat” is full of elements that could equate to good television (i.e. Working alongside Kat in the cafe are her friends Phil (Leslie Jordan) and Randi (Kyla Pratt).
Instead, she is, for the most part, comfortable with her life: something that I found refreshing to watch. What makes Kat so intriguing is that she doesn’t want to settle down just for the sake of fitting in. Her mother, Sheila (Swoozie Kurtz), sees her daughter’s single status as a referendum on her own parenting skills and constantly encourages Kat to settle down. As a 39 year old single woman, Kat struggles to live up to the expectations of conventional society.
The show follows Kat Silver (Mayim Bialik), who, following the death of her father, leaves her unfulfilling job as a math teacher to open up a cat cafe. However, the FOX television series “Call Me Kat” has managed to surprise me for its ability to be so obviously, mind numbingly awful and yet still garner my respect and adoration. Having been a connoisseur of so-called “trash television” for many years, I thought that I had seen it all. I’m always searching for a show that’s “so bad it’s good.” To me, it’s thrilling to walk the line between intrigue and insanity, never sure if I’ll make it to the end of the season or become so dumbfounded that I’m forced to stop watching for good.
