racey Ullman has conquered all forms of entertainment media, but to date her television work represents unquestionably her greatest achievement. Nearly twenty years of multiply honoured material exists and unearthing these treats is consistently a delightful endeavour. Tracey's latest effort is another exercise in performance art which looks to be her most ambitious yet. Tracey promoted the show by saying, "It's about me and all the characters that I do. It's finally a show that lets me give voice to all the voices in my head. You see, most people with multiple personalities get therapy. I get my own HBO comedy series. Aren't I lucky!" With its biting humour, daring character portrayals and social comment, "Tracey Takes On..." seems destined to attain cult status.

n the eighties, Tracey revived the television variety series by giving it a whole new twist. "The Tracey Ullman Show" which ran from 1987 to 1990 broke new ground in terms of format, writing and comedy. North Americans were stunned by her brilliance and many people, such as myself became avid followers.

"Everybody, it's time to go oh oh. Spent some time getting ready for the sho oh ow. And if you're thinkin that you may or you might then you're thinkin' right. Doodla dump. doodla dump."

racey's British television work can be somewhat hard to find here in North America. Hopefully someday, we'll all have access to some of that cutting edge comedic material from the early 80s such as,"A Kick Up The Eighties" and "Three Of A Kind". For now, let's be glad "Tracey Takes On" has been sold overseas and in Canada.
