Stacked
television series
Stacked is an American television sitcom that aired on Fox from April 13, 2005, to January 11, 2006.
Premise
Stacked was described as the opposite of Cheers, instead of a smart person in a "dumb" place, it is based on the concept of a dumb person in a "smart" place. A workplace, ensemble comedy, Stacked revolves around Skyler Dayton (Pamela Anderson), who is tired of her non-stop partying lifestyle and bad choices in boyfriends. Wanting a major life change, she wanders into Stacked Books - a small, family-run bookstore in the San Francisco area - owned by Gavin Miller (Elon Gold) and his brother, Stuart (Brian Scolaro).
Divorced and unlucky in love himself, Gavin's inclined to regard Skyler as an embodiment of the vacuous, image-obsessed culture he has come to abhor. Stuart, however, is dazzled by Skyler's beauty and, much to Gavin's horror, offers her a job at their store, which she happily accepts as the first step in her quest for a steadier lifestyle. The store's sole other employee, Katrina (Marissa Jaret Winokur), is unhappy to work next to an intimidating bombshell, and doles out doses of realism and cynicism. Rounding out the characters is the store's one steady customer, Harold March (Christopher Lloyd), a preeminent, but retired, rocket scientist.

Why this record matters
“Stacked” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Stacked, television and series provides the most credible route into that argument.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2048631. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005 and 2006.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
