Alyson Hannigan getting NBC show

[Ripper 0]

Nick Brendon is never going to work again.  I have said this since I started watching Buffy and I say it now.  he will never get another job in the acting business unless Joss Whedon or a Mutant Enemy person is directing. 

 

And to be honest with you...I don't think James Marsters will ever find work again once the Angel ends.  He will probably have to go back to the stage. 

 

Its not because they aren't great actors because they are, but they are like Matt Leblanc....he is a good actor but when it is all said and done, Joey is the last character he will ever play.

Except Matt LeBlanc actually got some movie roles like Lost in Space.

*stares blankly at LaParka*

 

...

 

 

He also got that role as rookie baseball player who gets to keep the basball playing monkey.

 

Look at it like this.

 

Matthew Perry- Played Oz in Whole 9 Yards, has a couple of very good romantic comedies under his belt(Fools Rush In, Three to Tango).

 

Jennifer Aniston - Rockstar, Bruce Almighty, The Good Girl etc.

 

David Shimmer- Band of Brothers, indie films a go-go, couple of romantic comedies under his belt

 

Lisa Kudrow - Romy and Michelle, indie films, that movie with Val Kilmer about the porn star, Analyze this and that.

 

Courtney Cox-Arquettte-...3000 miles to grace land (heh, guilty pleasure), Scream Trilogy

 

Matt Leblanc- Monkey movie, Lost in Space and bit part in Charlies Angels.

 

See where I am going here. He might get parts, but he is the one that has no post-joey career.

 

Nick Brendon has no post Xander career. Sure, he might show up as MoonDog in the sequal to that beach movie he did(that shit was funny though) or a cameo here or there, but his career is basically over rather he knows it or not. And Marsters...theres only so many parts that he will get with the blonde hair and that is his "thing" that sets him apart. He is a great actor, but his resume now includes "Camera man" that got once scene in House on Haunted Hill, a guest spot on Andromina and in a movie that Amber Benson(Tara) wrote and directed. Hollywood isn't exactly showing him the love either.

Well, they shoulda used Marsters for that John Constantine movie they're doing instead of fuckin' KEANU REEVES...

[Slingshot Suplex 0]

I hope comparing it to Jesse wasn't meant to be a positive thing.

I kinda liked the first season of Jesse but then it went straight into Hell.

 

 

I was kinda referring to Christina Applegate....a high end supporting cast member of a show....getting her own lead like Hannigan will be. And getting a decent supporting cast around her.

Really though, who the hell watches Network TV sitcoms anymore? I seriously think shows like Friends/Everybody Loves Raymond etc.....are probably the worst that tv has to offer. I have tried sitting through some of these shows during random episodes, and I see the most unrealistic "comedic moments" where the laugh track is going off and I am just sitting in front of my tv with a blank stare.

Thats because it is way to late for you now. You can't jump in on year 8-9 and try to watch one of these shows. Its like trying to walk in at the end of a movie to see what all the hype was about.

 

By season 3-4, everyshow says FUCK the new viewers and is basically full of inside jokes and character traits that only the diehard fans will get. Just how episodic television goes.

 

 

I mean i don't care what anyone says, Monica trying to see the maids crotch because she thinks that she stole her jeans and the maid thinking she is a lesbian and Ross and Rachel cheering on the death of a old lady so they can get the apartment...that shit is GOLD~!

Unless your entire reply to me was sarcastic then let me retort with saying that I gave "Friends" multiple chances when I was a sophomore in highschool, 1996. That is the earliest I remember seeing it. And I thought it was garbage back then too. I just feel that way too many folks feel they are SUPPOSED to like these shows because afterall, hey, it is "must-see tv"

Hey, I'm a southern black guy. I think it is suppose to be in my blood to hate this show. But that shit is funny. Although I didn't think it was really good until its 4th season.

 

And it still remains, in episodic television that follows the one long storyline format, it is tough to sample the show here and there and get a good feel for it. I think that the reason that more people automatically go for Seinfeld(despite the early years being hilarious) was that every show was self contained. When you run episodic shows which turn out to be 22-23 hour long stories just broken up into pieces, its tough to get into.

[NoCalMike 0]

Well Curb Your Enthusiasm is a running story even though certain episodes can be watched in "stand alone" mode, and I had no trouble getting into that show.

[Guest The Winter Of My Discontent]

If this show is measured by this Allyson girl's attractiveness, then it'll bomb terribly.

 

woof.

Since when have sitcoms been realistic? And it's a live audience laughing, although I'm sure that in some cases the sound has been sweetened (if it's the 10th take of a scene I can't see anyone laughing a lot anymore).

 

I must admit, though, that Friends is the only sitcom that I peg as a "must see" for weekly viewing. But I suppose that it's the only one out there that I can somewhat relate to. Well, as much as a Chinese-Canadian guy living in Houston can relate, anyways.

[NoCalMike 0]

What you hear come across on tv is not the actual audience. The laugh track is on full effect.

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

The difference is that Curb Your Enthusiasm is a great show...and Friends is Friends.

Chevy was always more of a movie star than a television actress.

 

He was hot in the 80's and CHOSE to take much of the 90's off.

Aren't you overdue for a new gimmick? It's been a few days

[Guest El Satanico]

I liked Friends the first three seasons, but then it just started to suck. Then the show got stuck in a groove and got repititive. Every episode started to look alike and the jokes got old.

 

Scrubs is the only NBC show I watch every week. I also like Will & Grace, but I don't watch it everyweek. Frasier was good until Niles got Daphney, now it's just not as good.

 

I like several CBS and ABC shows, but I can't think of them right now.

 

The majority of shows I like are on Fox. Of course, Fox always screws me and seems to cancel every show I like.

What does that have to do with the topic at hand? Don't flamebait me.

Anybody know what Eliza Dushku's aforementioned show is...ya know...about? I saw a commercial on Fox which was just her walking through rain. While hot, it served no purpose in telling me what the show was about...unless its an hour of wet Dushku action...

Tru Calling

 

I'll be checking it out. Not because of Dushku, but because it sounds like it could be interesting.

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

It's Faith meets Early Edition.

[Cavi 0]

I have little interest in Tru Calling. Show has had recasts and rewrites all over the place, and that's not a good sign.

 

As for Aly's show, I'm glad she got another gig as I think she rules all, but I don't have high hopes for it.

[BlackFlagg 0]

same here...love Aly but I'm not getting my hopes up on it. Also wonder what day/time slot it will be in, what shows it's up against could hurt it as well.

Movie STAR is reaching a bit isn't it. I mean, his bombs by far outweigh his hits(BY FAR). I like Chevy and all, but calling him a movie star isn't really accurate.

 

Thats like calling Sarah Michelle Gellar a movie star.

[Guest Choken One]

What hits? A couple National Vactions...and maybe the fletch series and Three Amigos...What else is there?

 

I was only counting his Vehicles...Caddyshack wasn't really HIS movie.

Its easy to discount what he did in the 80's 20 years after the fact...but he was an in-demand movie star. If it wasn't for his acreer tailing off in the 90's, he'd be held in much higher esteem.

 

Respect Chevy.

I respect him, but weren't even the Fletch films commercial flops in the 80's?

 

I know the National Lampoon's movies and Three Amigos did well(of course, Amigos had Short and Martin there too). Besides that...um...Spies LIke us?....

[Guest Choken One]

Fletch one made good numbers but not the other two if i recall
