Worst sitcom actress???

[mstewart]

I say Meredith Baxter. She's more of a dramatic actress than a sitcom actress. She does drama with no effort but comedy there was more of an effort that was put into it.

[Penny Lane]

I've said this before and I'll say it again!


BONNIE FRANKLIN!:barf:

Teri Copley! :lol: :p

Teri Who?;)

[factsoflife]

i'm going to say Brooke Sheilds and Leah Thompson. Sheilds is a decent actress, but she was just horrible on "Suddenly Susan", a role that just wasn't right for her. and Thompson is simply not capable of doing Comedy (Howard the duck, anyone?), she is a dramatic actress and should stick to that.

Teri Copley was on a dreadful NBC eighties sitcom called "We Got It Made," about a girl living with two guys, that made "Three's Company," in the words of one critic, "look like Chekhov by comparison."

She was involved with Tony Danza for about half an hour. :p

Lauren Holly is another one like Tea... they tried really hard to make her the "next big thing", even marrying Jim Carrey and dating Brad Pitt... but it still went nowhere, and she's in the "Where Are They Now?" pile

I don't know if anyone here ever witnessed the Patti LaBelle gem, "Out All Night," but she had the comic timing of a corpse.

[TVgen62]

Wow! I'm amazed that I agree with nearly every answer posted so far! Definitely, the top (or is it bottom?) picks for me are:

Bonnie Franklin (I never liked her. Her performances seem so forced.)
Tea Leoni (Too harsh. Raspy voice.)
Bess Armstrong (Stiff & totally unnatural. She was in a short-lived sitcom called "All is Forgiven".)


I'm sure I can come up with more, but I'm too tired right now. :sleep2:

I personally think that those two women above were great sitcom actresses. Given that One Day at a Time was Bonnie's first crack of sitcoms she did very well. She grown over the years of that show to be a great actress. She was horrible the first two seasons.

Bess Armstrong is a wonderful and beautiful actress with the girl next door image. I remember her series All Is Forgiven and the network, NBC, did not give the show a chance to prove itself. She was in another series on ABC call Married People. Excellent cast but again it was cancelled prematurely.

Geena Davis.

Her guest spot on "Will And Grace" last week reminded me of her horrible "Geena Davis Show" sitcom from a few years back.

ALL RIGHT BUFFY. SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME THINKS ONE DAY AT A TIME WAS A CLASSIC. To be honest I had a crush on Bonnie Franklin especially when she sported her new hairstyle at the start of the 78-79 season.

[greenlaser5555]

Justine Bateman (Family Ties & Men Behaving Badly)

[jayman75]

Candace Bergen was awesome as Murphy Brown. She has a definite comedic streak (Miss Congeniality). She wasn't supposed to be Lucy-ish in MB. She was a straight-laced journalist who had funny stuff going on all the time (remember the constantly-changing secretaries?).

Exactly right! Murphy Brown was not a silly, let-loose kind of character she was a up-tight journalist and Candace Bergin captured that and a whole lot more, and she has 5-Emmys and the respect of the acting community to prove it. Plus the fact that Murphy Brown ran for ten years on CBS and became one of the highest rated shows in the history of television.

[Tweety]

Not even considering shows that weren't on for very long, I would say Meredith Baxter-Birney and Phylicia Rashaad were the two worst comedy actresses I've seen...

Sabrina Lebeauf, (she played Sondra on the Cosby Show) while she was attractive (as were Rashaad and Baxter-Birney) was also terrible, not to mention being a most annoying character.

I also hated all of the Different Strokes housekeepers, except Charlotte Rae, who played Mrs. Garrett...

No One Day At A Time is a 1970's sitcom starring Bonnie Franklin, Mackenzie Phillips and Valire Bertinellie... The soap opera is One Life To Live... and if you've never seen a soap opera how do u know that u don't like it?

I do agree with you about Justine Bateman being a good actress for Family Ties in the 80s, & of course Satisfaction. But she wasn't that good in the 90s with Men Behaving Badly, Lois & Clark or Highball. But on that short-lived, not so good & overrated 2003 series "Out of Order" with Eric Stoltz. She was horrible.

[Heather987]

Beverly Archer (Iola on Mama's Family) she was just so annoying to watch, listen to, and especially to look at.
I also think that Cloris Leachmen in Facts of Life was terrible, I have never been a fan of hers, but on FOL she was the reason I quit watching

Although your response was directed at Dilly I want to respond. Yes indeed, Shirley is a beautiful, terrific actress/singer but she is no rock/pop star! I honestly inwardly cringe and feel embarassed for her while I am watching her perform on The Partridge Family! :eek: I know what Dilly is talking about!:nod:

It would be like Julie Andrews being part of a rock band!Oh no!ohno:

I also think Mrs. Partridge - Shirley Jones was the WORST. She completely neglected the two youngest kids and gave all the attetntion to Bratty Danny and Keith. I couln't watch because of her.

The show we're talking about was a sticom (12/75 - 08/84) starring Bonnie Franklin, MacKenzie Phillips, Valerie Bertinelli, Pat Harrington and Robert Masur.

I never said I didn't like the show. In fact, I liked it very much. Bonnie Franklin, IMO, was the weakest link comedically. She was perfectly fine in dramatic scenes, yet was totally out of her element in the comedic ones.

Since One Day at a Time was, and is, her greatest claim to fame, my opinion is based on it. As the star of the show (a sitcom, no less!) Bonnie Franklin was miscast; the show's longevity was due to good scripts and the supporting cast (mainly MacKenzie Phillips). This is one of those rare examples of "shows-I-liked-with-stars-I-hated".

I agree with you about Bonnie Franklin. She wasn't my favorite but Mackenzie Phillips was the character I liked to watch.

If you had watched Entertainment Tonight on weekends when it was devoted to One Day at A Time and when Bonnie Franklin was featured on Lifetime's Intimate Portrait it was stated that it was Bonnie who maintained the integrity of the show. Her co-stars and producers stated that she would come into rehearsals with the script marked up with what if's and how this should be handled. Bonnie was determined to keep the show true to form along with its characters and the premise that the show was dealing with. MacKenzie Phillips stated about Bonnie in Lifetime Intimate Portrait, "Bonnie had a standard and if it was a little lower it was not acceptable. On the show Bonnie was the boss." If you were to look at the first season shows compared to the rest of the seasons (except the last two when the show started to get tired and went downhill) the quality and the acting were radically different. I think each cast member brought a lot to make the show work and a hit. But it was not quite the same after MacKenzie Phillips was fired in 1980 due to her drug problem. When she came back it still was not quite the same as it was the first five seasons.

Yes, I'm sure that Bonnie (being a mature adult) kept things going but she was so annoying! Her over emoting drove me crazy! I liked the supporting cast much better!. THEY are the ones who kept the show interesting!JMO:happyface

The Olsen twins!!!

Julia Louis Dreyfuss

[megamanj2004]

I don't know if anyone here ever witnessed the Patti LaBelle gem, "Out All Night," but she had the comic timing of a corpse.

I remember "Out All Night" but barely remembered seeing her on there.

Despite, the somewhat off-key comic timing LaBelle had on there, it was also one of my glimpses of Morris Chestnut and 1st early regular sitcom role I can think of for Vivica A. Fox.

[megamanj2004]

Off the top of my head:

Olsen Twins - when they got older, they got more annoying.

I'm surprised this one hasn't popped up yet but:

Raven Symone - she was very annoying on the Cosby Show and on her own show That's So Raven. Didn't see much of her nowadays on reruns of Hangin' with Mr. Cooper (since I'm at work when it's on).

Loni Anderson - if wasn't for "WKRP in Cincinatti," she would've easily have been my worst and/or overrated female sitcom actress of all-time. Every other show and/or role she did after "WKRP," was mediorce at best. She came on "Nurses" and look what happened to that show. Died after one season w/ her. I also didn't like her on that Ninja Teen movie that also featured Hulk Hogan either.

Julia Louis Dreyfuss

Are you kidding??? Julia was on SNL for a couple of years and some of my fav. moments on Seinfeld were because of her. I think I'll go watch Streetcar Named Desire and feast on chocolate babka!!!

I have to disagree with everyone who has said Leah Thompson can't do comedy. While she's not on the level of a Lucille Ball or Elizabeth Montgomery she did fine on Caroline in the City.

Linda Lavin (Alice)- I do not know which one was worst her acting or singing- you know "Do you think I am sexy.

Julia Duffy was great on Newhart, but her post-newhart career has left a lot to be desired... she stunk on "Designing Women", she was one of the many horrid things about "Baby Talk" and well hasn't been around much since the late 1990's.

Jan Hooks also wasn't very good.

[JulieSomoski]

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a great actress, and REALLY funny - Seinfeld wouldn't have been Seinfeld without her, and she's great in Old Christine as well.

Why would anyone say Candice Bergen? She has to be one of the best actresses in television ever - she played Murphy Brown perfectly, while winning 5 emmys and running 10 years. And, she was amazing in Boston Legal.

I agree with that and the girl who played Stephanie on "Full House" wasn't that great an actor, although she was a kid.
Stephanie was probably the best actor on Full House! People said she acted so professional when she was five years old! She memorized her script on her own.

I've said this before, and this thread was just calling for me to say it again, but Danica McKellar on TWY. In my opinion, another actor that was picked solely on looks.

She did have a really annoying character on "The Cosby show". They should so have gotten rid off the Olivia character, when her stepmother and father left the show. Duh! :rolleyes: However, Raven must have been a good child actress, or she wouldn't have been able to deliver all those silly lines, that they would give her, even though no child that age would say such grown-up things in real life. And she was great at "Hanging out with Mr Cooper" and "That's so Raven", where her characters weren't as annoying either.


Why would anyone say Candice Bergen? She has to be one of the best actresses in television ever - she played Murphy Brown perfectly, while winning 5 emmys and running 10 years. And, she was amazing in Boston Legal.
I haven't even seen that much of "Murphy Brown", but I have to agree, Candice Bergen was good.

Suzanne was funny but she did NOT always play ditzy characters! On Step By Step she was very smart.
Maybe not "very smart", but not ditzy either.
