More potential than you think!, 11 January 1999
Author: sparkyb from NYC

Granted it's not Shakespeare, it may not even be Baywatch, but VIP does have possibilities. It has a classic comic book premise (model fronts for can-do bodyguards? Hell, it worked for Remington Steele), it just needs some comic book style. If they're not afraid of going the surreal route, VIP could be a contemporary Avengers. However, they need to free up the writers & directors to take some bold moves. Otherwise it's just more lite faire.
