V.I.P. (standing for, and also referred to as, Vallery Irons Protection) was an American syndicated television series that ran for four seasons from 1998 to 2002.
The series starred Pamela Anderson as Vallery Irons, a woman who accidentally saves a celebrity and then is hired by a real bodyguard agency as a famous figurehead while the rest of the agency's professionals work to solve cases. Ironically, her lack of investigation skills would end up defeating the antagonists in every episode.
The other team members were an assortment of people of different backgrounds: a former member of the
KGB,
CIA,
FBI, a smart woman who was into computers, a karate master, a former policeman and a former street boxer.
The series was a mixture of action, comedy, and camp, with Anderson often poking fun at her tabloid image. In November, 2001, V.I.P. (the video game) was released on the PlayStation console. Versions on PC, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance were canceled.
