Today's Blind Items - To Get On This Show And Stay On This Show You Had To Have Sex

A week or so ago I was talking to someone I have known forever. She is an actress you would all know if you saw her, but might not know her name. She has been acting for 20 years and is probably on her biggest hit right now. Scary show too. Anyway, she started off on a show that was a reincarnation/spin off of a very hit show that used some, but not many of the stars from the first show. She says that if you wanted to be on this new hit show you had to have sex. Constantly. With the producers. If you said no they would just find another woman or guy and slide them in and kick you out. The only people exempt from the requirement were the holdovers from the other show. However, those holdovers were all the biggest abusers of the new talent. The oldest actor was also the creepiest. He loved finding the legal and maybe not quite legal actors and actresses for himself. There were two people who quit rather than have sex with the guy although he supposedly could not stay hard enough to actually consummate the act.


One other actor made his way through over 100 cast members and extras during the run of the show and the actor literally cried when the show was canceled because he knew he would never be able to coerce women like that again. If you go over to his house he will show you tapes of about half the women he had sex with.

There was one B+ actor who is still that today who participated, but only when his girlfriend was not around. When you go through the list of the cast members who were on the show and how many episodes they were in, you can see which ones made the producers happy and which ones were sent packing after just a few episodes.

As for my friend? She stuck it out as long as she could. She had one producer who really liked her and she had sex with him and he protected her from the others. He left though about halfway through the run of the show and she followed him out the door so she would not have to experience the other producers or cast.

Like a few others have mentioned I think this is Jasmine Guy – on her biggest hit now, Vampire Diaries.

Spin-off: A Different World
First Show: Cosby Show
Used some of the same actors: Lisa Bonet, Sinbad, Lou Myers
Old/creepy: either Lou Myers or Bill Cosby
Actor made his way through 100+ cast members: Kadeem Hardison?
B+ actor: Gary Dourdan (girlfriend at the time, later wife, Roshumba)
Producer: Gary Miller, left to produce Fresh Prince

Lots of young actors, you can see the list and how many episodes they lasted…

merciful god blind items like this make my head spin. (good think i love having my head spin.....various methods)

thank you Himmmmmmmmmmmmm for notting Joss, i adore firefly and Nathan Fillion. (and i will ditto those that expressed joy that you weren't scared off by publicity. I spend most of my time lurking, barely knew "HIMMMMMMMMMM" until I saw a few very intense posts recently)

the words legal in the blind caught my eye but its not scary but....
boston legal was a spin off on the practice?

Himmmm said...

Hello CDAN friends, this is Herrrr (Himmmm’s female zookeeper/wife/babysitter). Sorry to interrupt but some lazy man - who shall remain nameless - fell asleep instead of returning. In order not to irreparably besmirch the family name, I thought I would fill in to try and help out so you all don’t stone him to death. Just don’t stone me either k? (After all, I’m not a detective like he pretends to be).

I do believe that the Kid Sis and others of you have closed in on it.

I’m going to share some interesting links with you. Some are people, and some are show categories. Which of these may tie in to your guesses?:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:High_school_television_series

Which of the shows from this list are on the air now, and might be considered “successful” or enough to be someone’s biggest hit?:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Horror_fiction_television_series

One of the following might be close to the source, (or maybe not even at all): Check into some actresses - whom you may not know by name, but by face or role - who might be that missing link between SHOW 1 and SHOW 2. One of these could be close to Enty’s source:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connie_Britton
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindy_Sterling
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrianne_Palicki

Sorry if this doesn’t help. I do know that Himmmm was on the phone with a television executive this afternoon, gossiping like little old biddies about this blind so I’m pretty sure he knows it. I on the other hand, am only guessing and trying to help. You people are far smarter at this than I shall ever be. BTW - I punched Himmmm really hard in the gut to wake him up and get him to spill some clues to me. He said: “cheese dip”, grumbled, rolled over and went back to sleep. (Cheese dip? WTF?) Ugh - men!

Also I just wanted to thank each of you for your loving, kind, and generous words towards Himmmm. Sincerely, you’ll never know the bloody panic he and his cohorts were in over the weekend about this site. But you have all been so amazing to him, them, and us that he was almost moved to tears over your warm support. So thank you all. And I don’t wish to shill or promote - but Kid Sis is an amazing writer and person. If you’ve never read her blogs and story of her Mom’s heroics then please do. In a cynical and dirty world, Kid Sis is the best of humanity and love. You’ll be richer for reading her. Okay, have to run. Sorry to be an interloper and good luck!!

Himmmm said...

Oops! Almost forgot: One fact I wanted to share with everyone is that Enty is a friend and/or work associate to a lot of actors of the 1980s-90s sitcom shows. Including 90210, Growing Pains, Saved By The Bell, Married with Children, and shows of that period. I'm just saying that for blinds and stories one can trace origins to cast members of those shows (Christina Applegate, Julie McCollough, and others). Enty is also a friend/associate of young actors on similar shows today. It's Enty's line of work - so when you all wonder where the dish and horror stories originate? It's from the sources. Just a tip for the future. Okay...my turn to sleep now...yay!
Love,
Herrrr

Kidsis said...

EmEyeKay, glad to be of service! :)

Sorry, I had The Glades in my canceled file but I was wrong! A&E's bringing it back for season 3 this summer. I think Citizen Plain finished the riddle: Natalia Cigliuti.

Kidsis said...

Wait, what?? Holy crap. That's what I get for not hitting refresh on blogger while I'm off playing Nancy Drew...

I have to go reread Herrrrr's amazing comments, and please disregard mine immediately as I'm super out of the loop...God, seriously, how many hours was I on IMDb and Wikipedia???

Rose said...

I think SBTB fits the best but I don't know which actress it is. Chuck isn't on anymore nor was it scary.

I don't think the Vampire Diaries is scary. I love it. Jasmine guy was only on maybe 3 or 4 episodes in S1 and 1 episode S3.

Rose said...

Also SBTB was revamped and spun off. The first season had Haley Mills as a teacher and not all the kids. The second season was where it became the normal SBTB. It was spun off to TNC and The College Years.

jetfuelgenius said...

Geez I met Peter Engel once...he was sort of a dandy type...loafers and an ascot...I didn't get an evil vibe from him but he was definitely an odd duck...and kind of full of himself.

OK @Amy I defer...I rescind my Melrose Place guess...but now I got nuthin' :/

This is better than Words With Friends! Almost.

Rose said...

Thanks for your help Herrrr(and the tidbit on Enty).

Kid Sis, I think you have it with NC.

NYCGirl said...

"The show was notable for its cast changes. Each season featured one to three cast changes. The constant changes made it confusing for new viewers who were not watching the show from the start as cast members would come and go without any real explanation, and presumably contributed to lower ratings as the seasons progressed."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saved_by_the_Bell:_The_New_Class

The B+ actor is a problem, though.

Astrid said...

I was so obsessed with this blind last night that I dreamed about it. In my dream Bianca Lawson was the answer. And I wanted to say that I'm really glad Himmmm is still around. I was worried all of the publicity of the last few days would keep him(s) off.

vega said...

Greetings,

(Very long time lurker - almost since the beginning of CDAN - but only a recent poster)

Since I don't watch TV anymore I have no guesses of my own but I want to say that the SBTB:TNC comments seem to fit with the other things that have been revealed here recently.

As for Bill Cosby, yes, there was a scandal about a woman who claimed he'd drugged and raped her, and I seem to remember hints that it wasn't the first time he'd done something like that.

I've also read gossip about him implying that he'd been very "friendly" with at least one of the actresses who played a family member.

I'm a lonnnnnggggggg time fan of Cosby's (I go back to the days of his stand-up comedy) so this would pain me if true.

But I also remember his son's death. Russian Mafia, wasn't it? I ask myself if it was really as random as press reports claimed at the time.

Hm, Russian Mafia ... Diana Jenkins ...

Cathy said...

A couple more things to support SBTB:TNC -

First of all, there's no way that the actresses who were allegedly 13-15 when that show started are being honest about their age on imdb. I guarantee they've shaved a couple years off their ages.

Second, Mark Paul WAS in one episode of The New Class (the one where they were going to close bayside), so he could be the B+ actor.

Third, it is NOT Lindsay McKeon... she started on the show halfway through and stayed through the end. The actress we are looking for left the show about halfway through.

I'm still sticking with either Natalia Cigliuti or Bianca Lawson for Enty's source.

ash said...

come back Himmmmmmm!! i've been wracking my brain and can't come up with anything else. From Himmmmmm's comment it didn't seem like he thought anyone had got it yet - is that a fair inference? So does that mean it's not someone we've guessed from SBTB:TNC or Melrose?? argh those really do seem to fit the best....

btw i feel like Himmmmm is now really playing into the whole Himmmmmm is RDJ thing with that diaper changing comment, since everyone knows RDJ has a new baby! :) well either way, i love RDJ's work and I love Himmmmmmm's contributions here!

ash said...

oops should have hit refresh again before i posted. amazing - thanks Herrrrrr!!

Joanne said...

I feel like the with Father Dowling reference it is Laurie Holden, but nothing on IMDB for her . . . but she looked so familiar to me when I first saw her on Walking Dead, and she is my age. I watched Saved by the Bell, Hang Time, etc, could she have been in one of these 80s teen shows and it not be on her page. It says she was born Heather Laurie Holden, possibly used a different name?

Kitia said...

Kind of out there, but how about Jasmine Guy?

Spin off - A Different World

Scarey show - Vampire Diaries

ash said...

going thru everything again natalia c does seem to be the best fit so far...

uberbaldy said...

I'm still not buying SBTB:TNC. I just don't feel that the actresses and producer departures match up. Granted I didn't think about people lying about their age on IMDB so good point to whoever it was that came up with that, sorry too lazy to look back thorugh the comments.

Anyways to add to Herrrr's list of sites I was working off this on yesterday until I got a headache and decided to do the work I'm being paid for instead of sleuthing around.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_spin-offs

I've looked into Haven, Being Human and a dozen other shows but can't quite fill in the pieces.

If anyone is wondering about criteria here is what I think we need to focus on accounting for variation in years(someone pointed out Enty does this sometimes) and topic(based on Enty's and Himmmmm's suggestions):

Spin-off was on the air/began between 1988 - 1996

Original show probably featured older actors(Himmmm's Father Dowling name drop. Complete guess)

Source actress and a producer left the same year.

CURRENT show is not necessarily a popular one. (Enty seems to usually makes statements if a show is hugely popular, as is AMS)

Source could be forign born and so was the spin-off(Himmmm's degrassi drop)

That's what I'm going off of but will probably give up shortly as I'm behind on my work. haha damn these blinds.

jetfuelgenius said...

I think Himmmm's Father Dowling reference was a joke - as if to point out we aren't talking about a senior citizens show like Murder She Wrote, we are talking about a younger-skewed show...I don't think FD was meant to be a clue about the identities or the actual blind... :)

jetfuelgenius said...

Also, if I recall, when there was a SBTB reunion photo on the cover of...Kneepads was it? I remember reading that the cast refused to do it if the guy who played the principal showed up? That might fit the creepy old guy... I'll research that one...

ash said...

can anyone make sense of the actresses that Herrrr pointed to and their connection to this? I don't think any of them fits as the source (not Connie bc Himmmmm notted Spin City, not Mindy because she's been acting for way more than 20 yrs and is not currently on a scary show, not adrianne bc she's been acting for way less than 20 yrs and is not currently on a scary show) - but was Herrrrrr trying to hint that all three of those might be close to Enty's source? As in know her/worked with her? I'm not seeing one show that would connect all three of those actresses, though. Or should we only be focusing on one of those three?

Mindy might be a source for a lot of the tweener abuse stuff, she's done a ton of teen/tween tv series.

SaraG said...

Hey guys, I've been researching after analyzing enty's post and at this point is either Saved By The Bell: TNC or one that hasn't even been mentioned.

The clue about the B+ actor WHO STILL IS THAT TODAY is interesting, but since he means he participated and not clarifies if he starred in the show, the guy might have just been the boyfriend of one of the actresses. So if anyone finds this couple researching some of those (Sarah Lancaster? Lindsey McKeon?) we might be onto something.

Anyway, I don't know anymore.

ash said...

do we think that the current, scary show must be on that wiki list that Herrrrrr posted? bc then i'm totally thrown. i think the only shows on that list that are still only and are //arguably// big enough to be someone's biggest hit in 20 yrs are:
AHS
Being Human
Fringe
The Walking Dead
True Blood
Supernatural
The River
Haven

am i missing anything?

but i don't see an actress on any of those shows who fits the other clues.

ash said...

** sorry i meant still ON not still only

ash said...

were head of the class or 21 jump street spinoffs of anything? hm. tho they are a little outside the 20 yr window i guess.

bluebell said...

Booked was the spinoff of 21 Jumpstreet

bluebell said...

Sorry - Booker, not Booked. Darn phone.

Rose said...

On Jimmy Fallon, he was trying to get a SBTB reunion and everyone was in but T-AT. Does anyone remember if Mr. Belding was in too? It would seem like if he was in on it too they would have said so.

Mark Paul went on JF as Zack and it was really funny and would have all the faces who were in but I can't watch it right now. It's on Hulu if someone wants to check it out.

goofy4dizney said...

Seriously, there was a "SBTB: The College Years" too? ugh That's the show Mindy Serling was on, whom Herrrr pointed out.

Cathy said...

Jut found this summary of the 11 most scandalous things from Dustin Diamond's tell-all:

http://www.11points.com/TV/11_Most_Scandalous_Saved_by_the_Bell_Revelations_in_Screech's_Autobiography

This makes me think even more that SBTB:TNC is the answer to this blind.

goofy4dizney said...

ok, using Herrrrr's clues, Adrianne Palicki is on Supernatural, which is also the show that Lindsey McKeon is on. And Mindy Serling was on SBTB: TCY, which I guess could be the spin-off before SBTB: TNC, that Lindsey was also on. So are we supposed to be connecting these dots? LOL Still trying to see how Connie Britton fits in, if she even does.

crila16 said...

How can it be SBTB New Class and it be Linsdey McKeon? She was on the show until 2000 when the series ended. Isn't the actress in question, someone who left the series because the producer who kinda protected her left? Also, she's no longer on Supernatural, or at least it says 2010. Also...I'm sorry. Mario Lopez is no B+ actor.

The only B+ actors on any series I can think of that was in any kind of spinoff...David Boreanz or Jason Bateman.

From Hmmmmm's hint...it does sound like it's a new show with the old name attached, like 90210: New Generation. It's definitely a High school type show if there were minors on it too. Like Facts of Life or 90210 or even Saved by the Bell (but I can't see a connection with SBTB).

bob ross said...

Another reason it is not Lindsay McKeon - the blind actress departed from the series half way through. Lindsay McKeon STARTED the series half way through, and then stayed till the end. Bianca fits the timeline though...

crila16 said...

crila16 said...

OK. I have everyone, but the B+ Actor on the show.

-Saved By the Bell - The New Class

-Actress: Bianca Lawson

- Enty says the actress got her start on this show...and SBTB kicked off Bianca's acting career.

-Hit Scary TV Show(s): In pilot of American Horror Story and also a character on Pretty Little Liars (I guess it's a little on edge mystery-eerie scary).

-Producer: Dan Mirman (he was on exactly 39 episodes, as was Bianca. They left the exact same time.

- Freaky older actor: Dennis Haskins (I know the original cast hated him and wouldn't let him in the photo of the reunion show)

- Sex Fiend actor: Dustin Diamond (also did porn).

- B+ Actor: The only one I can't figure out...unless it's Mario Lopez...but I can't see him as a B+ Actor.

crila16 said...

ooops...sorry. Didn't realize someone had already guessed Bianca.

Nicholson said...

"There was one B+ actor who is still that today who participated, but only when his girlfriend was not around."

Does this imply the B+ actor was actually on the show, or just "around" and a familiar face?

Kidsis said...

Cathy's link gave us a plausible B+ actor not on the show but partaking behind the scenes when his girlfriend wasn't around (actually it was fiance): Martin Lawrence. He's even got Bad Boys 3 coming out so he's a film B+, not TV B+ like we're trying to make Mario.

http://www.11points.com/TV/11_Most_Scandalous_Saved_by_the_Bell_Revelations_in_Screech's_Autobiography

I worked the SBTB:TNC one day as an extra in 97 or 98 and distinctly remember it had an inmates running the asylum feel. An unpleasant, crazy off vibe. But man, a LOT of the shows had that. Sabrina and Roseanne spring to mind...what was weird about SBTB:TNC is it truly was young. Crawling with teens, and where were the responsible adults? USA High never felt that way. The only thing I remember seeing Engel do there was taking food out of female actors' hands at the craft service table ("This is not for you!"). And no regular extras were sleeping with cast. I totally would have known that. We were all auditioned for the regular extra roles and offered them for the full two seasons, and there was no wonkiness. Then again I NEVER get hit on in L.A. I can count on one hand the times I was spoken to by a lead actor and one of them was Dustin Diamond, so he did recognize who was new to set.

Geez, I've been really careful for four years not to speak up here, but fuck it. I'm unemployed anyway. Might as well spill it for the kids. V.V.V.V.V. Enty if we right this wrong will you give us a Full Frontal Friday for old times?

Cathy said...

crila16 - I like all your guesses, but for the B+ actor, I think it could be Mark Paul. As I mentioned earlier (but there are hundreds of comments here, so it could have easily gotten lost), he did guest star in an episode of the new class. He has top-billing in Franklin & Bash, so I think that qualifies him as B+.

EmEyeKay said...

@BigSis - are you saying you only worked there for one day, and your impressions are based on that one day? Or did you work in/around in another capacity, and you're basing your impressions off of that, as well as the one day on set?

(No sarcasm, hope I don't sound accusatory or rude - I just want to get it straight, this is an honest question.)

Cathy said...

@Kid Sis - looks like you're another poster here that we'll need to lull into a drunken state until you spill all your stories!

Not sure if Martin Lawrence works for this, since Lark was only in one episode of the new class, so I don't know if he would have been on set at all...

Kidsis said...

Enty do you need a typist at your law firm? I type 90 words a minute Mac or PC, and am hush hush on the QT unless it's about pedophilia or bestiality...on the negative side, from now on I'll be wearing a Dollar Tree fake moustache and sombrero as disguise. Viva la revolucian!

EmEyeKay said...

Argh, sorry, that question was to @KidSis, not BigSis. There's no BigSis.

Rose said...

Mark Paul was on another show right before Franklin and Bash on TNT that got pretty good reviews but not ratings. Either one or two seasons with Natalia C. I just realized she was in it as I was typing about the show. Hmmm. Anyways he has been popular as an actor for a while, not associated with SBTB.

rastafarla said...

Enty also included Elizabeth Berkeley in his latest photos. Maybe another nod for SBTB.

Amazing how this crap goes on and these people are admired and held up as role models. No wonder all these child stars are so screwed up. I hope this stuff isn't happening on Sesame Street! That's a show I actually watched and loved as a kid.

It's rich that these media companies spend so much time investigating the Catholic church and that Penn State creep, while all of this is going on within their own home.

Kidsis said...

EmEyeKay, ironically there is a Nurse Sis who is my Big Sis and the only reason I'm alive. She's a hero.

Yes, I worked one day of extra work at SBTB:TNC. Observed a chaotic set brimming with teen-ness, and was spoken to by Dustin Diamond.

Cathy, I wish. But I've worked so hard for 25 years to get a paycheck someday that I can't be spilling tales now over drinks. Even if I have a tale that dovetails neatly with one of Enty's most famous ones. Sigh. I'm just a writer monkey clackety clacking until I hit the infinite monkey theorem and fart out Shakespeare's complete works. Luckily for me, Herrrrrr's incredibly gracious words fuel me enough for another go around at some typing and some shooting and some lottery ticket buying and some praying I get a chance to make a difference. I'm pretty blown away to have had my work noticed.

OH MY GOD I'M SUCH AN ASSHAT....Herrrrr told you guys about my mom's cancer....will you please go read some of my mom's writing? She was the most incredible person and it would have meant the world to her to be noticed:

jetfuelgenius said...

Kid Sis I'm so sorry about your mom...and being unemployed...as of May 1 I will be too. :)

wasn't there a saved by the bell the college years with most of the original cast?

surfer said...

Kid Sis - loved your asking Enty to bring back FFF. And am off now to read about your mom.

Unknown said...

Laurie Holden, who is currently on the Walking Dead, was in the Father Dowling Mysteries:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0390229/

Anonymous said...

I was thinking about Jane Leeves from Frasier (spin off of Cheers).
That show Hot in Cleveland is pretty scary - all those old women trying to act young & hip.
And I can imagine Martin Crane (from Cheers) trying to do it with any and every one and not er, being able to.

rastafarla said...

Just looked up that perv producer from SBTB that was mentioned in this link posted earlier:

http://www.11points.com/TV/11_Most_Scandalous_Saved_by_the_Bell_Revelations_in_Screech's_Autobiography

Sounds like a real wackadoo. He left Hollywood to join the faculty at Pat Robertson's Regent University. Apparently he didn't last very long. My guess is he left a scandal behind.

Trichy said...

Lol. Love how she mentions how Himmmm "pretends to be a detective."

"Sherlock Holmes" movie reference, anyone? *giggles*

Been lurking as long as I've been lurking at DListed, so not sure how long. This blind has me dizzy.

Heather said...

I am thinking Baywatch
with Baywatch Hawaii and Baywatch Nights as spin off shows.
Still trying to place the actors ---
does this seem like an idea to pursue or a dead end?

shaiboy said...

Himmmmmm love u! More clues!

kinda said...

I think this is about the TV show Friday Night Lights which was spun off of the movie. The movie was in 2004 the show 2006-2011. I think the friend is Connie Britton. She was in the original "Friday Night Lights" movie and also on the TV show "Friday Night Lights" but the stats on Wikipedia show that she was on the show for all the seasons (2006-2011)...Currently she is on a new horror show called "American Horror Story" for 12 episodes. "Friday Night Lights" received a lot of praise but not a large popular following. "American Horror Story" has a very popular following. Connie Britton is currently in the entertainment news because she has been selected for a new TV drama “Nashville.”

The show "Friday Night Lights" also had Adrianne Palicki (50 episodes Series regular, seasons 1-3; guest season 5) as well. A link is mentioned on the board by "herrrr"... but I could not locate a current "Horror" show listing for Adrianne Palicki.

The show has/had a very heavy weight, very successful producer in the original creation for the TV series but "Wikipedia" does not say if he stayed on or left midway.
If you check the cast of both the movie and TV show there are some actors that were on both.

On another note I would like to say Thank you to "himmmm and to herrrr and to Enty" for trying to expose the child molesters. I think what you are doing is honorable and invaluable you all have great integrity.

Hegg said...

Hmmm, Buffy/Angel does kinda make sense. I heard of similar things happening in that show Scrubs that I didn't watch, but I do not think it is a spin-off of anything, so probably not that.
Is it Daytime? General Hospital = Port Charles, General Hospital: Night Shift.

ash said...

oops sorry computer glitch
i keep checking this thread to see if himmmmmmmm will come back and tell us more but no luck yet :(

@kinda, @danielle M, it's not friday night lights because the timing is wrong, the blind says the actress started in the business about 20 yrs ago on the show in question. friday night lights is too recent. it's not buffy/angel (himmmmmm said joss would never let this go down on one of his shows, TG bc i revere that man! saw him speak at my college years ago and he came off as so polite, humble, funny and self-deprecating). himmmmmm also said it's not a daytime show.

i think himmmmmm's comment on the photos must be a reference to the photo with an arrow pointing to elizabeth berkeley, which i think means all the ppl who guessed saved by the bell/SBTB:TNC were right. not sure which actress specifically and what the new scary show is but bianca l. and natalia c. seemed to be the best guesses.

also just wanted to say hi to everyone, i mostly lurk but have posted a few times before. love all the commenters here. hi!

Topper Madison said...

Looooong time lurker. First time commenter.

The past few years my attentions have been focused on Gawker.com, but in recent months I realized most of the articles I was reading over there were the CDAN blinds, so here I am. I just wanted to say hi.

Also, I wanted to mention how interesting this whole conversation has been, and I suspect when/if this answer is revealed, it will be anticlimactic because this thread will end.

boo.

Rose said...

I don't think it's FNL at all. Friday Night Lights had an amazing reputation filming in Austin the whole time they did the show. Peter Berg specifically asked Connie to be in the TV show because he felt so bad that she wasn't used enough in the movie(and she is amazing!). A lot of the cast would come back for guest spots and Taylor K just did a big movie with him. That doesn't seem like the environment the blind is talking about.

I never thought it could be Joss shows because he is constantly working with same people and I think that says a lot about him.

Carolyn said...

Definitely sounds like SBTB:TNC, but it can't be Lindsay McKeon AND Carl Kurlander as the producer who protected her. Enty says she left when he did, but according to IMDB, she started in 1996 on SBTB:TNC, and Carl Kurlander left in 1996. So the timeline doesn't fit.

Hmax17 said...

Saw Boston Legal mentioned a couple of times and liked the idea.
Tara Summers was on that show and is now on The Ringer and its got a scary vibe by the ads I've seen (haven't watched the show personally). And with frequent guest stars, I figure tons of people went through that show...

My best shot:

Original show: Saved by the Bell
Spin-off: Saved by the Bell: The New Class (notorious for frequent cast changes)

Enty's friend/actress who tolerated things as long as she could: Bianca Lawson (regular role, 39 episodes)

Friend/Actress' current show/biggest hit that is "scary": Pretty Little Liars

CREEPY older actor: Dennis Haskins aka "Mr. Belding"

Actor #2 who cried when show ended: "Screech" 'nuff said.

B+ Actor #3 who is still working: Christian Oliver

Love Natalia Cigluiti...don't know if she's the current "horrow" actress but I'm 100% sure that Saved By The Bell: New Class is the sex show. So sick. These girls were mostly 13-15...life in prison in my state. What the hell is going on in California?

Shit, I meant horror, not horrow.

LOL, I figured it out:

Actress: Connie Britton
Show: Ellen
B+ Actor: Jeremy Piven
Actor who cried: David Anthony Higgins
Creepiest Actor: Steven Gilborn
Why: It was actually a reincarnation of "These Friends of Mine (ABC, 1994)" which kept some but not all the cast. It was very popular but considered a clone of Seinfeld so they had to reincarnate the show to differentiate.

Also the cast list is massive.

Just driving another nail into the Buffy/Angel coffin:

Big fan of both. Angel had virtually no young actors. Pretty much everyone was a grown-up except for maybe guest stars.

Himmmm is also right: Joss has a reputation for being a feminist in the extreme. The concept that he'd allow this on one of his shows is actually kind of funny.

And nobody even mentioned that Himmmm, if he's telling the truth, just stated he not only has a child, but that said child is still in diapers.

Neil Patrick Harris, new Himmmm guess. (Been in biz forever, and everyone gossips to gay men.)

Natalia Cigliuti was in SBTB
She started in 1994
She was in "The Glades" last season, which is scary.

Belding is the old creeper.

Screech is cryer cuz he will never get laid again.

Mystery Solved.

I thought Sarah W C from Walking Dead as well, but Prison Break had a very limited # of people, fewer women, and even fewer teens.

I guess my problem is I don't find any of the shows listed as particularly 'scary.'

This is a good guess... cause Shatner would fit. A lot of actresses were on, were hot and sexy lawyers, and then gone. But I wonder if Candace Bergen would care, probably not. She’s off the Nicholson era where anything goes... but wonder about Julie Bowen. And I think Gabrielle Union was on... and david e kelly rumored to be big casting couch fan.
