V.I.P. (1998-2002)

V.I.P. was an action comedy series distributed by Sony Pictures Television that ran for four seasons on the UPN Network and in syndication throughout the United States. Created by J.F. Lawton (the screenwriter of Under Siege), the series featured Pamela Anderson as a woman who becomes the figurehead of a bodyguard service after unwittingly saving the life of a celebrity. The series was intentionally campy and broad farce and captured the spirit of the 1990s with splashy colors and 'lightweight' villains (one of the last shows to elicit that "pre-9/11" feel). One thing the show had tons of was .... (no not girls in skimpy attire, which was the case) ... guns. And only on V.I.P. could Vallery's team have a full auto shootout with bandits in the street and no vehicles or buildings are damaged. It was a low budgeted series and it showed, but the producers kept up the light feel by not taking the show seriously at all.

The following guns were seen on the television show V.I.P.:

AT4

In the 1990s the favorite and only politically correct 'bogeyman' of Hollywood was the "White Christian Male Militia Member". But to be fair to V.I.P., wide shots of Lasarr's "anti Government" fringe group seem to have Hispanic, Asian and African American members as well, so they are an Equal opportunity fringe group.
