Critical reception

The New York Daily News gave it 2 stars and added, "Mainly, it's just another low-rent celebrity show along the lines of Keeping Up with the Kardashians - typical for a genre these days that asks very little of celebrity subjects in exchange for getting them on the air." [1]

Note the Los Angeles Times' Mary McNamara: "Age may have prompted her to prove there is a person underneath all that hair, behind all that décolletage, but it's a crowded genre, honey, and Girl on the Loose seems just a little too little too late." [2]

A Hollywood marriage originally meant a glamorous high society marriage between celebrities involved in the U.S. film industry, as "Hollywood" is a common metonymous term for that industry; such marriages are more commonly known as supercouples in modern parlance. However, the term has grown to also have strong negative connotations of a marriage that is of short duration and quickly ends in separation or divorce. The term developed the negative connotations fairly early; by the 1930s, a "Hollywood marriage" was a marriage both glamorous and short-lived.
