Theatrical Release Information:
Tracey Takes On: Season 01

Originally telecast by HBO from January 24 to April 3, 1996, the first season of Tracey Takes On... finds the multi-talented Tracey Ullman utilizing scores of comic characterizations to poke satiric jabs at ten different topics. This year's episodes include "Romance," "Charity," "Nostalgia," "Royalty," "Family," "Law," "Vanity," "Death," "Health," and "Fame." In the course of these episodes, the star appears in such guises as pretentious magazine editor Janie, mother-dominated British bank teller Kay, redheaded Australian stuntwoman Rayleen, foulmouthed cabbie Chic, donut shop owner/philosopher Miss Noh Nang Ning, landed-gentry Englishwoman Virginia, ageing male homosexual Trevor, and septuagenarian Hollywood makeup artist Ruby. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
