The Help
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Help is a short-lived series which aired on The WB in March and April of 2004. The show was a raunchy comedy that focused on the hard-lucked life of a beauty school dropout, who now must work for the wealthy and spoiled Ridgeway family. The rest of the hired help are also very unusual in their own ways. The show only aired five episodes and was cancelled shortly after in May 2004 after disappointing ratings.
