The best lines were,and i serioulsy laughed so hard at these:
"I really thought my silicone was gonna fly out my armpit".
"i don't want to be seen eatting, smiling, or having fun. it will ruin my image!"
"I could have died, i was wearing flat shoes"
"I didnt know whether to pose or get arrested"
"this lady was wearing this powder blue outfit. it was MAJOR"
And this one was classic: "I have no idea why anyone would think I'm a blow up doll"

I thought she would've been a bit more image conscious than they portrayed her to be...

Well, it honestly wasn't marketed all that well by NBC, I must admit. It's too bad! People really don't know what they missed

Well dont take anything someone like Perez says seriously.Her show was second in the ratings,NBC said they epxect 2 million viewers and almost 5 million tunned in,so it hardly bombed!And the fact is;the majority of America have no clue who this woman is,and they didnt market it that agresively,it would never go to no.1.So i think its pretty good that she got 3.5 rating.If this is true, then America doesn't know what they are missing!
Daily Mirror is reporting that the response was good and NBC asked her to do another 6 parts.We will see what happens.

Just watched it and what a complete and utter load of crap.
One thing Victoria always had was a sense of humour but here everything was forced and contrived and I didn't laugh once although her hangers-on did all the laughing anyway.......just about every time she opened her mouth.
I can't imagine she has done herself any favours doing this kind of show, thank God it was condensed into one episode.

Not a really good review from the NY Daily News...but what do they ever know... B)
Posh reality is a freak show
BY AMY DILUNA
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Sunday, July 15th 2007 - Victoria Beckham has packed up her spice rack and landed on our shores. For an hour, anyway.
The petite Brit known internationally as Posh Spice stars in an hour-long show (tomorrow night at 8 on NBC) that seems squished together from ages of tape. Rumor has it that Posh wasn't interesting enough to warrant a whole reality series.
I'm sorry, have you people seen this summer's crappy filler TV? "So You Think You Can Dance?" "Hey Paula?" "Pirate Master?" And Posh couldn't fill a few hours? If she could frown, she should.
Her soccer star husband, David Beckham, distractingly hot, opens the show, participating in ordinary spousal tasks with his praying mantis wife: They get their hair done together and pose for a W magazine photo shoot in the desert. He, glistening and shirtless; she, wearing a strapless pouf with a violently pointy bodice. It's love, all right, only set in an alternate, creepy universe.
But the show is really all about Posh (no fair), who leaves Becks (what?), touches down in L.A. and immediately hits the pool. Her assistants snap camera phone pictures of her to send David, who's presumably longing for her. She poses, stretching like a lethargic cat, in a maillot and platform stilettos. So that's how it is in their family.
New assistant Renee arrives. She's American and plain, by design. And she asks the question every woman on Earth would naturally put forth immediately: "Am I ever going to be personally assisting David?"
Posh bristles, her voice lowering to a hiss. "Why, do you want to? Would you find him attractive?"
Renee clearly wants to die. "I'm just so nervous," she frets. No, Renee, don't worry. You have spoken for Every Woman. There's no harm in asking.
Throughout the special (and it's extremely special), Posh tries hard to take shots at herself, dryly delivered.
On getting pulled over: "I was completely shocked and devastated because I was wearing flat shoes."
On taking her DMV license photo: "Do I get approval? My hair looks flat ... is there any retouching?"
On putting on the right face for the paparazzi: "Let me make myself miserable before I go out."
On getting invited to a ladies' lunch: "This is so American. I've seen ‘Desperate Housewives.'"
On, um, living: "Oh, it's exhausting being fabulous."
Omigod. She's trying so earnestly to crack us up, she's liable to teeter off her Louboutins.
Love: Her surprising Perez Hilton at the coffee shop where he works. "I think you should get bigger boobs, smile less and send me some nude shots of your husband," the blogger tells her. "That's fine," she allows.
Could have done without: Scary (not posh) party at a Beverly Hills mansion with 12 surgified old harpies and Marla Maples.
Vaguely smile when she cracks a joke about Lionel Richie's house. "Lionel Richie laid down this parquet himself, whilst he was dancing on the ceiling." It's a good joke. It's just that even "Pirate Master" has more than one funny moment in an hour.

no its fine, its coming on bravo thursday night! and i have the urls for it on youtube if you cant wait! pm me if you want it!
idk why everyone is hating on her! since when! i think shes fabby.
She IS Fab!! Here's our very own NY Post jumping on the Anti Posh Runaway Train as it gains speed here in the States... 
July 16, 2007 -- NBC should get down on its knees and make a giant no vena of thanks that soccer star David Beckham was called back to Europe before it could finish filming his relentlessly self-promoting wife's reality series, "Victoria Beckham: Coming to America."
And, while we're at it, the aforementioned relentlessly self-promoting wife should do the same.
If this weren't a one-shot deal and people were exposed to her vapid, condescending behavior on a weekly basis, she'd not just be unwelcome in America, she'd be run out on a rail - whatever that means.
Anyway, the proposed series, now downsized to a one-hour "special," is an orgy of self-indulgence so out of whack with, er, reality that you'll sit there slack-jawed at the gall of these people who think we are that stupid.
What's shocking is that it's from Simon Fuller, the "American Idol" genius.
The Beckhams drive to become as famous in the U.S. as they are in the U.K. is driven, of course, by Beck's signing a $250 million (yes, million) contract to play for the LA Galaxy soccer team. Good luck.
Until soccer can have as many commercials as football, baseball or basketball, it will never be covered as big time on U.S. TV. And without soccer taking hold, I don't think they will ever achieve their dreamed-of status as the most famous couple in the U.S.
Tonight's special opens with Victoria - a former Spice Girl who had the great, good fortune to marry the world's best looking man - fretting over how much she has to do to prepare to move to America. She's got to find a house and a manicurist! Oh, the pressure.
The announcer then informs us that everything we thought about Victoria Beckham is probably wrong! Really?
I, for one, have never thought anything about Beckham - and now, I think even less.
She frets that there are paparazzi at the airport to meet her - as though it weren't all set up. "Maybe they thought Madonna was on the plane," she says displaying modesty that is about as real as her hair color. Dear God.
She then introduces us to her "best friends" who, like poor Paula Abdul's, are on her payroll - the hairdresser and the makeup artist who travel with her.
She then goes to a set-up luncheon with "The Beverly Hills Socialites" club at this nightmarishly overdone rococo mansion filled with much older women - all blondes - who have so much unfortunate plastic surgery they look truly frightening. Sad. Really sad - but then again who is Beckham to come here and make fun of these women by pretending not to?
For reasons I hope never to understand, Marla Maples is there too - the youngest by about 40 years.
Beckham, who is bizarrely constantly posing even in her own home, offers insights about how major a certain purse is or how her new phone has changed her life.
Her entourage laughs at everything she says as though they were hanging with Dave Chappelle, and clings to her every thought as though she were Stephen Hawking. The "special" which NBC calls an "exclusive" inside look at Victoria's larger-than-life life smacks of too much fame, too much money and too much time spent believing the hype for all concerned

The show wasn't much. Found it contrived and fake.
It's funny how many people like it
I'm neutral on VB but the NY Post ed. was dead on.
