Monica (Roma Downey) and the angels set out for the small Nevada town of Wells, where Nicole Blake (Laurel Holloman) and her 10-year-old daughter Danni (Holliston Coleman) are treated like lepers because of Nicole's single-mother status. When her mom is injured on the job, Nicole embarks upon a journey in search of the father she has never met, using an old Christmas card from a Mr. "Jackson" as her only clue. In the course of events, Nicole innocently causes a lot of trouble between a man and his wife, then latches on to a friendly handyman who seems to fit the description of her long-lost dad. But in the end, it is Tess (Della Reese) who brings Danni's family together, by way of the sheerest of coincidences! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In view of her well-publicized divorce from singer Tommy Lee, star Pamela Anderson Lee reverts to just plain Pamela Andersonas the tongue-in-cheek action series V.I.P. enters its third season in syndication. Otherwise, things haven't changed much since Season Two: Anderson's character, gorgeous professional bodyguard Vallery Irons, is still the figurative head of the V.I.P. security agency, still proving her worth to her doubting (and eminently more qualified) coworkers Tasha (Molly Culver), Nikki (Natalie Raitano), Quick (Shaun Baker) and Kay (Leah Lail). Dustin Nguyen, previously seen on recurring basis in the role of VIP's resident martial-arts whiz Johnny Yuh, is now a full regular, acknowledged as such in the opening credits of each episode. The celebrity cameos which were so much a part of the series' previous seasons have diminished to trickle this year, though we are still graced with the presence of such luminaries as Engelbert Humperdinck and Weird Al Yankovic. Otherwise, the Big Names appearing herein--Stephanie Zimbalist, Corben Bernsen, George Takei et al--are relegated to standard guest appearances as characters other than themselves. Also weaving throughout the season's proceedings is a shadowy assassin named The Owl, who befitting his mysterious nature is nearly always portrayed by an uncredited actor. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Statuesque professional bodyguard Vallery Irons (Pamela Anderson Lee and her coworkers at the Vallery Irons Protection Agency continue to safeguard their high-profile clients and occasionally take time off to save the world from annihilation as the cheeky adventure series V.I.P begins its second season in syndication. Taking a cue from the series' fans, the producers place special emphasis on the sexiness of the leading characters and the spectacular nature of the action sequences rather than bother with such inconsequentials as story values and character development. Although the series' fondness for celebrity cameos is not quite as pronounced as it had been in the previous season, the viewers are still treated to such well-knowns as Donny Osmond, Marie Osmond, Jay Leno, Hugh Hefner and Bronson Pinchot are sprinkled throughout Season Two. There are also quite a few recording stars in non-cameo roles, notably Ice-T as the recurring "arch nemesis" The Prophet. Plus, Dustin Nguyen, introduced in Season One in the one-shot role of Japanese martial-arts star Johnny Yuh, makes several return appearances this year, laying the groundwork for his ultimate emergence as a series regular in Season Three. And finally, the episode "The Ransom of Red Val" features an uncredited performance by Tommy Lee, then the husband of series star-producer Pamela Anderson Lee. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Freshly arrived in LA from the midwest, buxom Vallery Irons (Pamela Anderson Lee) is soon being squired around by a variety of handsome hunks, including a certain macho movie star. When this star is jumped by assailants, Vallery accidentally saves the man's life--whereupon, to avoid embarrassment, the star informs his fans that Vallery is actually a professional bodyguard. Picking up on this story are the employees of Colt Arrow Security Services, a deeply-in-debt protection agency. Hoping to avoid closing up shop, the Colt personnel invite Vallery to sign on as head bodyguard and spokesperson, going so far as to rename the organization Vallery Irons Protection (V.I.P.) Assured that she will merely be a sexy "front" and kept far out of harm's way while the rest of the V.I.P. personnel--ex-spy Tasha (Molly Culver), former boxer Quick (Shaun Baker), munitions expert Nikki (Natalie Raitano) and mousy computer wonk Kay (Leah Lail--do all the heavy lifting, Vallery petulantly insists upon being allowed to live up to her reputation and pitch in when the going gets rough. For reasons that may be hard to comprehend, most of Vallery's perilous assignments require her to wear extremely revealing costumes. That's the situation facing us as V.I.P. launches its first season of 22 episodes, in which Vallery and company tackle all manner of risky bodyguarding assignments for a vast array of A-list clients. During Season One alone, the VIP's list of subscribers includes the likes of Coolio, Charles Barkley, Pauly Shore, #Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Bill Maher, Robin Leach, Shannon Tweed, Erik Estrada and Jerry Springer! And in the episode "The Last Temptation of Evil", Dustin Nguyen makes his first appearance as Japanese martial-arts superstar Johnny Loh, who will join the cast on a regular basis in the seasons to come. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

But when the previous owners declare bankruptcy, the camp is purchased by an obnoxious fitness freak who becomes obsessed with changing his chubby charges into budding body builders.

After inviting Larry to his and Margaret's (Leah Lail) anniversary dinner, Margaret breaks the news to Larry that she's going to file for divorce.
