So, the Lindsay show -- which made its "first look" debut online, and will premiere on Sunday night at 10 p.m. on the OWN Network -- has confirmed what most of us already know: Lindsay Lohan is a beautiful disaster, but damn if she doesn't make good television.

Oprah Wan-Kenobi, in her infinite wisdom, decided to make a reality show about Lindsay Lohan for her flailing network, OWN... and what she ended up getting was a reality show that showed the fool-hardy disaster of making the show in the first place.

On the show, Lindsay argues with her dad ("For a long time, you weren't good for me," she cries as her enabler -- I mean, mother -- Dina Lohan cuddles her), shows up late to the set (what else is new?), and dodges the cameras while claiming she "feels like a prisoner."

(Sidebar: as a longtime professional photographer, let me let you in on a little pro tip: it's VERY rare that the paparazzi just "stalk" celebrities. Sure, we have a few that go off the reservation -- staking out a celebrity in front of their house, taking compromising photos of their kids -- but 99.9 percent of us, present company included, only go where a celebrity is when either a publicist, or the celebrity him/herself, calls us to do so. Those of us who have a direct connection with the celebrity usually split the profits of the "exclusive" photos with the celebrity. So the notion that she's "trapped" by anything besides her own doing is a crock...)

Speaking of "crocks," the best line of the preview came courtesy of Oprah herself: she sits Lindsay down and, in typical Oprah fashion, tells her what everyone else has been thinking all this time: "You need to cut the bulls--t. You really do."

The whole series -- if this preview clip is anything to go by -- doesn't succeed in making anyone feel sorry for Lindsay. She doesn't come across as, say, a Robert Downey Jr. type (that is, an extremely talented actor who fell into his own addiction, but got help, humbled himself, and made a hell of a comeback). Instead, she comes off as a spoiled Lawn Guy Land brat who -- by virtue of white privilege, wealth, and presumed sex appeal -- feels entitled to a career in the entertainment industry. She confuses infamy with respect, and she mistakenly believes that her infamy should preclude talent and professionalism. Even on the show, Lindsay repeatedly throws a temper tantrum -- usually for no reason at all -- when she's called upon to behave in a manner that would be standard operating procedure for any other actress.

If Oprah's goal was to "wake Lindsay up" and teach her a lesson, she failed. Miserably.
