My Thoughts:
This is the final TV movie from before the series started. I think part of what I don't care for in this one is the way the use clips from the previous movies after just recently watching them. I can see if it is most likely been a long time since you seen the other movies... but when it comes to watching on DVD in rapid succession it really takes away from the story. I would have much rather seen a full new story then this. I did enjoy the main story... it would have just been much better if they left out all the story telling (clips from previous movies),

Plot:
Way too edgy for network TV, this funny, uncensored, naming-names series peels off the glitter of Hollywood moviemaking and exposes the duplicitous but totally addictive, behind-the-scenes truth. Campy, uncesored and very controversial, this "too-close-to reality" show features guest stars that include Keanu Reeves, Salma Hayek, Scott Wolf and Sandra Bullock.

Superstar producer Peter Dragon (Jay Mohr, host of TV's "Last Comic Standing") builds his stellar career on the three pillars of show business - prostitution, nepostism and dishonesty. Adding to that an ego as big as a Beverly Hills mansion, the aptly named Dragon and his cohorts manage to be politically incorrect, backstabbing, phony, petty, pissy and most of all -- ingeniously funny!

Like with the pilot I was bored with the episode. So much so, that I didn't even pay enough attention, if this episode provided a proper series or even season finale
