Today's Blind Items - The Hit That Wasn't
In a world of really bad pilots and hopes and prayers some new television show will be a hit, there was a network that had a surefire one. It was a spin off of a very popular long running comedy on that network. The original had a huge cavalcade of stars. The spin off had this alliterate A- list actress/director/multiple Oscar nominee who was really only an actress at that point. The pilot was a huge hit. The show was going to be a huge hit. It was a guaranteed money maker. So, why was the show never made? Our actress wouldn't sleep with the head of the network. He took it personally and wouldn't give the show a series order.
Great Gerwig?
ReplyDeleteIt was also turned out very not good.
DeleteGreta *
ReplyDeleteIt would seem many men in hollywood allow the little brain to run entire industries. And mankind is supposed to be evolving? Never did believe that theory......hypothetical at that.

ReplyDeleteGreta Gerwig, How I Met Your Dad.
ReplyDeleteIf it's Greta then the head is Leslie moonves, not a big shock there
ReplyDeleteAmy Adams?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Julie Chen wasn't surprised too much.
ReplyDeleteDumbass Moonves
ReplyDeleteSad that all them people were put out of work because 1 broad was stingy w/ the pussy
ReplyDeletelol. true why couldn't she just take one for the team
DeleteAgreed
ReplyDeleteGreta Gerwig - How I met your Dad - Les Moonves
though I disagree that it would have been an automatic hit.
HIMYM not exactly a huge cavalcade of stars.
ReplyDeleteThere were quite a few guest stars who wandered through in the 9 years it was on the air...so yeah, cavalcade of stars...
ReplyDeleteI can’t see GG being harassed. She is not remotely hot.

ReplyDeletei love greta gerwig. she's adorable. she's not beautiful (and so what?) but if you haven't seen her in anything, you just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteshe looks like a man in a wig but with her current during of success she could probably sell it to another studio
ReplyDeleteI have seen her act and she is talented and presentable but not hot enough to pass up millions of dollars in profits.

ReplyDeleteI doubt it. This is a world with many actresses but few guaranteed huge money maker hits. Even if one network head really did have his head that screwed up, there'd be other interested parties both inside and outside of his organization to pick up the ball and run with it.
ReplyDeleteThere's either more to the story or this was less of a huge guaranteed hit than advertised.

ReplyDeleteCavalcade of stars doesn't fit HIMYM
ReplyDeleteThe clues fit, but people might be forgetting that HIMYM had a worse last season than Game of Thrones. Like I was glad the mother was dead, it was so awful. That's not a spoiler, everyone knows the main story sucked. It was Barney, Marshall and Lilly who kept that thing afloat.
ReplyDeleteCavalcade puts me in mind of Berle, Sid Caesar, Reiner, etc.
ReplyDeletemy first thought was MTM but she doesnt fit.
it is how i met your mother. people seem to be forgetting how big that show was and how many big guest stars came on. not to mention that even at the time it started segel, patrick harris and hannigan *were* pretty big stars. gotta agree with brayson that the last season was terrible. i'd kinda lost interest a couple seasons before that but the last season was probably the worst last-season of tv i've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteplus gerwig fits the blind perfectly, even if you all don't think she's hot enough *eye roll*
I actually don’t think it’s met your mother spin-off. First season panned but more importantly what ‘calvacade of stars’ ??? Cuz there definitely wasn’t a calvacade of stars on HIMYM.
ReplyDeleteGreta Gerwig lol she’s no moral compass. She doesn’t deserve to be harassed obv no one does but it’s funny how she’s made the whole feminist pro-women stories but Look at what her & Baumbach did. It takes a really selfish cruel person to be ok with that.
Also, Gerwig supported Woody Allen until it wasn’t ‘cool’ to do so.
Tough luck.
Last season*** panned sry typos galore
ReplyDeleteIf only we would get a more informative item. Sleep with the wealthy head of CBS? Sure thing, if that was it. Perhaps she had to give him oral sex every week the show was on, at his office and not in a hotel after a fancy dinner. And it was not just him but a few of his friends. Because, if she agreed, potentially, she could be making 6 figures a week. It must have been a deal so bad she had to say no. Her morals are questionable, so it was not that she wouldn’t have sex with a married man.
