The new CW makeover show “Plain Jane” promises more than it could possibly deliver: Before our very eyes, a socially inept and fashion-challenged young woman will be transformed into an intoxicating vision of loveliness with enough life-changing confidence to declare herself to her unsuspecting secret crush. [1]

LOS ANGELES — The new CW makeover show “Plain Jane” promises more than it could possibly deliver: Before our very eyes, a socially inept and fashion-challenged young woman will be transformed into an intoxicating vision of loveliness with enough life-changing confidence to declare herself to her unsuspecting secret crush. [2]

I was all set to dismiss ‘Plain Jane’ (8 p.m., CW) when I found myself slightly amused and minimally charmed. [3]

So spare a thought for the girls on The CW’s new makeover show Plain Jane who go through their entire lives feeling that way. [4]

– CW goes old-school tonight with Plain Jane, a six-episode series about the most classic makeover subject out there: ourselves. [5]

The truth is a bit kinder: In return for confessing to a longtime crush that she’s had feelings for him, an ordinary looking woman - the “Plain Jane” - is treated to a makeover by British fashion journalist Louise Roe, whose bag of tricks doesn’t extend much past what you’d see on “What Not to Wear” or a host of other shows. [6]

But armed with a can-do attitude, a cat-walk gait and, in the first episode anyway, a Bloomingdale’s gift card, British stylist and fashion writer Louise Roe is convinced she can do it in a few days. [1]

“This show is about the insides, and how these girls gain confidence and understand themselves better,” Roe said during a recent conference call with reporters. [7]

In every episode, a nice, shy fashion disaster with self-esteem issues sends Roe an Internet video and begs to be saved from lonely Saturday nights. [3]

Step up fashion expert Louise Roe who helps transform them from Plain Janes to glamorous, confident women in her own unique way. [4]

Yes, the fashion expert spends the hour helping a woman who lacks poise, style and a decent hairdo prepare to tell the man of her dreams how she feels about him. [7]

Host Louise Roe — a leggy, brunette, self-proclaimed fashion expert with a fabulous British accent — is simply horrified by the spectacle. [5]

Every single episode there is at least one moment where sometimes even off camera I take them aside and say, ‘You have to do that’. [4]

‘Jane’ is based on the premise of any number of cookie-cutter chick flicks about dowdy damsels too shy and insecure to express their love to the guy they’ve had a crush on for eons. [...] Each ‘Jane’ episode sports the usual quotient of makeover moments and visits to fancy Hollywood boutiques, hair dressers and makeup salons that no mere mortal could possibly afford. [3]

But in another sign of his mushrooming momentum, Basil Marceaux dominates this segment on our governor’s race. [1]

A video has been going viral since yesterday evening of Basil Marceaux, a gubernatorial candidate from Tennessee, discussing his platform on Nashville’s WSMV 4 in a slightly less than lucid fashion. [2]

Perhaps we need now to ponder the question of who among the three “major” Republican candidates for governor is helped, or hurt, by the looming Marceaux surge. [3]

The sad part is, the backward hoopleheads on this site who are alway defending fox news, limbaugh, palin, beck, etc., are probably champing at the bit to vote for this guy. [2]

He wants to ban traffic stops, which he equates with slavery, and he promises: “VOTE FOR ME AND IF I WIN I WILL IMMUNE YOU FROM ALL STATE CRIMES FOR THE REST OF YOU LIFE!” [3]

Now we know what The Real Royal King looks and sounds like. [2]

Woodsie has links to some of those singing the praises, from MSNBC to Wonkett. [3]

Hugo, you need your eyes examined, maybe that is why you voted for Obama. [...] If that doesn’t scream America, a country that promises to give every single person their fair shot (and tries pretty darn hard to keep that impossible promise), I don’t know what else does. [...] Part of the reason is that Wonkette has already completely (and hilariously) eviscerated him, but the other part is because it just doesn’t feel right. [2]
