I hated it but had I liked it I would not have watched it anyway.Alley is a pig and I make it a rule never to watch nor support Scientologists which makes it hard to watch quite a number of thinks I might otherwise.Ann Archer,Tom Cruise etc.All these people are of this cult and thus off my watch-list.

Lord I hate that woman.Laryngitis voice,fat,fat,fat.Scientologist=NUT!
Kirstie by herself cannot carry a show. However with a GREAT ensemble (Leo and Perry--THE BEST, Olive and even Josh) this show worked well the 1st season. Ron Silver killed it in the 2nd. season. He was a grumpy mess who only detracted from all that was fun. Whoever decided to bring him on the show and then keep him there that long sealed the show's fate. The third season could have redeemed, but instead they brought in that bimbo. DAMN SHAME![
Seeing this show continue to languish on NBC's schedule seasons after "News Radio" (which was superior in so many different ways to this even after Phil Hartman died) was canceled steeled me for the inevitable failure of "Arrested Development." Thank you, Veronica's Closet.
Anything with Kirstie faty sucks
Kirstie Alley was funny on "Cheers". She was so not funny on "Veronica's Closet". "Veronica's Closet" JTS from day one. The only person I thought was remotely funny was Kathy Najimi. Just because Kirstie was funny as a part of an ensemble cast like "Cheers" didn't mean that she could be funny as a leading lady of her own sitcom. The late Phil Hartman knew he would be better off in a smaller role when he went from SNL to "Newsradio". Too bad Kirstie didn't take his lead.
This show was funny till the addition of Ron Silver. How ANYONE can think he is funny, attractive or anything but gross is beyond me. He mucked up Rhoda and he mucked this up too. Like Ron Rifkin (Bonnie Franklin's Love interest in One Day At A Time) the show took a jump BACK when they killed him off. June was cool character that brought back a lot of good tension. She was dumb but often we saw she wasn't so dumb. She would often use her dumbness to outwit Veronica. Dan Cortese was hot and him and that other fellow were good as a buddy team. The gay or not gay thing went on too long but the show jumped again by making him gay. It would have been MUCH funnier if he was straight. Did I mention Dan Cortese was hot. He did take his shirt off in one episode. Do a GOOGLE search in the image section.
Sorry cookie-cutter chick sitcom. Waste of Wallace Langham and Kathy Najimy. I think giving Kirstie Alley a starring vehicle is pretty misguided, her whininess isnt easy to take undiluted. I used to watch it because like many people, i either was too lazy or couldnt find anything to do between Seinfeld and ER.
This show, like Rosie O'Donnell, never should have come out of the closet!!
Wow... I just realized that Kirstie Alley is a man.
I really feel sorry for poor Kirstie Alley. This show really blew donkeys and she was never funny on Cheers. Now she's reduced to doing stupid hair color commercials. But guys - I can't believe no one here has mentioned her first, best acting role! Have you all forgotten Lt. Savek from Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan?
Yes, I am aware that I was one of the, like, twelve people in America who actually loved this show. While some people complain how the addition of Ron Silver as Alec destroyed the show, for me, it made it so much better. The fake-British guy from Season 1 was just annoying and the chemistry between Ronnie and Alec was amazing, in my opinion. Sure, the whole "will they or won't they" dilemma was played out for a while, but it worked. When Alec was killed and they brought in June, I was expecting a MAJOR shark jump...but it didn't happen. Yes, June was annoying, but she did provide for some hilarious situations. In fact, the lines I occasionally quote are from the third season: "Yes, that's exactly what I did, I said, 'Run, Alec! Run to the bimbo!'" and, "I can't find the words to describe how I feel...baaad." (note: I know I didn't get these lines word for word, it's been a while since I saw the show) I always watched the reruns on USA, but I'm sad to say, I rarely find them anymore. I want to see the last episodes that NBC never aired!
Easily one of the ten worst sitcoms of all time, Veronica's Closet was Kirstie Alley's attempt to cash in on her Cheers fame. Instead of cashing in Alley destroyed her career with this turkey. I can't belive this show actually lasted three seasons on NBC. Veronica's Closet was so bad that it made the Brian Benben Show look funny by comparison.
Network executives and all the "suits" behind television shows are idiots. The first season of Veronica's Closet was wonderful (and the amazing Kathy Najimy deserves her own show). So what do the execs do? They change a formula that was working just fine. Veronica went from humorously neurotic to annoyingly pathetic, she lost ownership of the company, they brought in that completely unfunny Alec.... haven't they ever heard the expression "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?" It almost seems like purposeful sabotage was done to this once very promising show.
