Robert Reed

David Cassidy.. heh

Gary Coleman

Eve Plumb

Mark Hamill (Star Wars)...i think

Marc Summers - once said that working on Double Dare was a nightmare.

The cast of ALF, namely Max Wright used to hate working on this show.

I once used to think that Bill Shatner used to not like Star Trek at one time.

I know that Grant Show has always said he is not exactly happy to be remembered for "Melrose Place" and has in interviews been quoted as being embarrased by the show.

and i know that Shannen Doherty has said she feels she is better than doing shows like 90210 which she refers to as "bad soap operas".

From what I understand Ivan Dixon was never a fan of Hogan's Heroes.

I did not know that Max Wright did nort like working on ALF

Leonard Nimoy once used to hate Star Trek during his "I'm Not Dr. Spock!" period.

Doris Roberts said that her time on Remington Steele was a stressful period in her life.

Max Bear wasn't to fond of The Beverly Hillbillies and Adam West for a while didn't want to be known as Batman.

Leonard Nimoy isn't Dr. Spock! He's Mr. Spock. Dr. Spock is the guy that wrote that famous book on child rearing. Leonard Nimoy 's character on Star Trek is Mr. Spock.

Well Dr., Mr., as long as it's Spock.

Well Dr., Mr., as long as it's Spock.
Yeah but what would Dr. McCoy say if you made Spock a doctor. Would Bones have to be the science officer? :lol: At least we can agree the man's name was Spock!

:lol: so true!

Gary Burghoff didn't like playing Radar on "MASH". From what I understand; he didn't mind playing the character during the first season but then he grew to hate playing him when the producers and writers started to make him "innocent" and gave him those little "traits" like not smoking, not drinking, etc.
That's why in his final episode he didn't wear his "Radar cap" so he could show everyone what he's really like-a balding, middle aged, man.

Ted Knight didn't like playing Ted Baxter at first-he was afraid people would think he's really that way.
That's one reason they gave him a girlfriend on the show.

Well that wouldn't be all too surprising to hear that about Marc Summers since he has OCD.

John Stamos was pretty embarrassed by "Full House"--understandably so.

Michael Nesmith is always bitching about The Monkees.

For a long time, Larry Hagman didn't like being associated with "I Dream of Jeannie". It was for that reason (and the fact that he was doing "Dallas" at the time) that he didn't do the two reunion movies. He hated the fact that Barbara was making more money than he was.

David Cassidy still doesn't like to be associated with Partridge Family - - he made that pretty clear at the autograph show in Burbank last month. And as the previous poster commented, Michael Nesmith is the hardest Monkee to meet and get an autograph for!

Tina Louise distanced herself from Gilligan's Island for years.

Johnny Depp hated 21 Jump Street and asked to be let go.

yea, that's why Tina Louise didn't do the "GI" reunion movies. I think she changed her opinion of the series when her daughter became a fan of it.

I'm thinking the Partridge Family "hate" attributed to David Cassidy here is a bit of an exaggeration. I'm sure he may need a break from it from time to time, but he has participated in many Partridge related shows and tributes over the years and seems to have embraced his part in TV history.

The one person who I'm surprised no one has mentioned in this thread yet is SUSAN DEY, who DEFINITELY has disassociated herself from the Partridge Family.

Kirk Cameron had arugments over the scripts after he became a born again Christian

Also Pernell Roberts was never a fan of Bonanza. He once called it junk TV.

I'm pretty sure Scott Baio doesn't like being associated with 'Happy Days'. He didn't even want his baby daughter having a 1950's themed birthday party.

In fact on some of his comedy shows, he always makes fun of his Danny Tanner character!

And even making bogus, but somewhat funny references about the characters on that show! :lol:

Well Dr., Mr., as long as it's Spock.
It's better than "Spork." That name was actually one of several considered. :eek:

I never knew that about Larry Hagman; I always though that "DALLAS" was the ONLY reason he didn't do the reunion movies.

There were three or four reasons he didn't do the reunion movies (according to one of his costars):

1) Didn't want to look back and redo something he was done with.

2) He wasn't going to get paid as well as well as Barbara Eden.

3) He was busy on Dallas (though he could have made room in his schedule for it).

4) They asked him WAY late in the whole thing.

^ Did Wayne Rogers replace him in both reunion movies or just the first one?

ken kerchavel was in the one called i stil dream of jeannie who played cliff barnes on dallas

Peter Tomarken called Bargain Hunters "a piece of $#%*!" And rightfully so, b/c that show was just that.

Gene Rayburn alledgedly hated the MG/HS Hour mainly b/c he hated working with Jon Bauman. Plus it was also alledged that he didn't want anyone re-running that show b/c of it.

Gene Rayburn also alledgedly hated working on the 1985-86 revival of Break the Bank, b/c the format was discombobulated and disorganized and also b/c of the tension with him and the producers, which led to him being replaced by Joe Farago later on.

Of course, it would be pretty natural for Barbara Eden to make more money than everybody else. She afterall, was playing the title character!

What did Eve Plumb not like about the show.

i recall reading somewhere that Michelle Williams and Joshua Jackson were a bit embarrassed about starring on "Dawson's Creek" and wish that people would stop reminding them about that show.

I also know that Sarah Michelle Geller hates talking about her work on "All My Children" and absolutely hates people mentioning it to her. I know that she also espeically hates Susan Lucci, her co-star on that show.

Thanks!!

Matthew Fox sometimes hated working on Party of Five because the producers favored Neve Campbell, Scott Wolf and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Jessica Biel disliked a lot of her work on 7th Heaven.
Chris Pratt was rumored to dislike the character and his guest spots on The O.C.

you are 100% right that Matthew Fox has said that numerous times in interviews, and at times has out-right said the show was awful. But in my opinion they did not favor anybody over him---in fact Charlie was very much the center of that show--without that character the show wouldn't have worked. Now with that said, it is true that Campbell, Wolf and Hewitt did become the more popular, break-out stars of that show so rightfully the producers did write more for them because viewers wanted to see more of them---but the certianly never neglected Fox, i mean he got some very juicy, meaty work on that show---from dead parents to cancer to his failed wedding to Kirsten to having a baby and numerous romantic relationships. he got a lot of material.

He's always struck me as very bitter and just ungrateful to the show for launching his career.

:yeahthat

It's really no different than Tina Louise being bitter and resentful over Gilligan's Island when she wasn't supposed to be the star of the show (it after all, wasn't called Ginger's Island).

Supposedly SMG isn't too keen on Buffy these days, either. As for Jackson and Williams, what have either of them been in lately of note? Michelle is (and probably will always be) a footnote for being the mother of Heath Ledger's child.

Thanks!!your welcome

Really, where did you hear that from regarding Gellar on Buffy?

Michelle Williams hasn't really done anything except for a few movies that don't get much notice. Her last "hit" was Brokeback Mountain with Heath Ledger.

As for Joshua Jackson he's pretty big on Fringe currently.

I agree I can see were the producers did more for the other stars. I thought Charlie's storylines were really good. I thought Party of Five was a good show and I know some critics liked it. I also notice that sometimes Fox does come off as ungrateful.

I heard that Jaleel White isn't exactly too keen about Family Matters, considering the fact that he hated being type-casted as being the guy who played Steve Urkel.

If i recall correctly at various times both Brandy and Sheryl Lee Ralph had issues with "Moesha". Brandy thought the character of Moesha was too self-rightoues and didn't act like a normal teen and Sheryl Lee felt the writers betrayed the series integrity when they introduced the Dorian character and made Frank a cheater.

Fox comes off ungrateful when he talks about Lost as well.

I don't blame him, but at the same accord, Reginald Vel-Johnson probably hated the idea of him being typecast as a fat cop (the year before Family Matters debuted, RVJ played a similar character in Die Hard).

Robert Reed

Robert Reed was unhappy much of the time on The Brady Bunch, but I think its bizarre that he appeared on The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, and loved it. I think Reed just clashed with Sherwood Schwartz.

Wasn't that around the same time in which Brandy got more creative control over Moesha? I think that the series jumped the shark when they introduced Ray J (Brandy's real life brother) as a regular and did that whole Frank is Dorian's real father storyline. That's when Moesha for the most part, became a glorified, melodramatic soap opera type show w/ sitcom elements thrown in.

Was Linda Lavin happy being on Alice, or was her problem just not getting along with other castmates?

Ironically, Robert Reed appeared in every Brady Bunch rivial up to his death yet, the three Brady girls (Maureen McCormick, Eve Plumb and Susan Olsen) never appeared together outside of the Brady Girls Get Married TV movie.

I heard Alec Baldwin wants to get off 30 Rock

Shannen Doherty hated Beverly Hills 90210 and Charmed and got fired from both.

Yeah, thats the one and only time the entire cast was intact since the second from the last episode of The Brady Bunch. (Robert Reed was not in the last episode, The Hair-brained Scheme.)

I know Sally Field didn't care for the Flying Nun for many years.

Vivian Vance was not always happy on I Love Lucy but I think it was more due to depression and William Frawley, than the show itself.

Shannen Doherty hated Beverly Hills 90210 and Charmed and got fired from both.

I seriously doubt that about Alec Baldwin, as far as i know he always has the nicest, most positive things to say about that show, which has won him emmy's, golden globes and SAG awards and he's always calling series creator Tina Fey a "geunis".

It was probably because he was fired from the show but I heard that Herve Villechaize became quite bitter about Fantasy Island after he left; going into drunken fits while watching his episodes on tv.

Dustin Diamond doesn't have a lot of nice things to say about his co-stars on Saved By The Bell. He also hated the way Screech and Belding were portrayed in The New Class.

ShanDo didn't really hate 90210. She might have hated it at the time because of all of the behind the scenes drama (much of which she had a big part in), but she's appeared in reunion specials and seems quite grateful and proud of the work she did there. And of course, she appeared in a few episodes of the new series as well.

Vivian Vance was not always happy on I Love Lucy but I think it was more due to depression and William Frawley, than the show itself.
Yeah, she was going through a very bitter divorce from Phil Ober while ILL was on. Supposedly, he was an actor himself and was very jealous that her career was taking off and his wasn't.

Dennis Haskings also didn't like the way his character was portrayed on The New Class. The E! True Hollywood Story episode of Saved by the Bell backs this claim up.

from the little ive seen of his work his acting was nothing to write home about

His acting wasn't too bad depending on what type of role he was playing. He was more adapt at playing authority figures than he was at comedy.

Max Bear wasn't to fond of The Beverly Hillbillies and Adam West for a while didn't want to be known as Batman.

It wasn't the show itself that Max wasn't fond of. He was tired of being strictly associated with the Jethro character. I spoke with him a few years ago and at the time he was about to open a Beverly Hillbillies themed casino and he stated that if he was going to always be known as Jethro then he was going to make a living from it. He spoke highly of everyone associated with the series.

Dustin Diamond doesn't have a lot of nice things to say about his co-stars on Saved By The Bell. He also hated the way Screech and Belding were portrayed in The New Class.

Also, during his 1st run on Celebrity Fit Club, he gave people a bad attitude about anyone calling him Screech or referring to his Screech character.

But I find funny how he goes out and posts a porno tape and use part of his SbtB character's title name on there and yet he gives attitudes about his SbtB character.

Dustin is a no class, Grade-A Jack@$% anyway.

In many recent interviews she has flat out said that she wishes she could have starred in more quality series, she believes that 90210 and the shows she's known for are too close to "soap operas" and that she believes she's a better actress. But the truth is nobody knows the real truth about the reasons she left that show, some claim she was fired, others say she left on her own accord. Tori Spelling wrote in her book Storitelling that the cast banned together and asked Aaron Spelling to write her off the show, yet Doherty claims she left the show because the Brenda character had run it's course.

Dennis Haskings also didn't like the way his character was portrayed on The New Class. The E! True Hollywood Story episode of Saved by the Bell backs this claim up.


In The New Class Belding and Screech were definetly written as nothing more than two baffons. they were played as the goofy side kick morons.

Sucks for ShanDo, then. I think she overestimates her abilities as an actress...she was better than Tori and Jennie by a country mile, but she's not as great as she thinks she is.

i agree. In the start of the show she was definetly a better actress than Jennie and Tori, but over the course of the years both Jennie and Tori developed rather well as actresses and towards the end of the run Jennie could out act pretty much anybody on that show. I've always been a Brenda fan, but she could be a lot to take sometimes.

John Larroquette. It's clear from his Twitter that he hates his characters once he departs from the shows he has been on. He does enjoy the cast members, though.

I don't know why, but his Twitter has sort of been turning me *off* from him lately. Maybe it's his old man hipster schtict.

I don't know that all these actors actually "hated" their roles. Many of them resent the fact that they have a difficult time getting other roles in tv and movies because of being typecast. This was the case with Fred Gwynne (Herman Munster), Garry Burghoff (Radar), Max Baer Jr. (Jethro), The Brady Kids, for example, I've heard this applies to.

I agree with you it might not be that they hated the show or roles it could be more resentment because of typecasting. Dennis Haskins from Saved by the Bell has even said he has had difficulties finding work post SBTB.

I read in some interview a few years ago with Dennis Haskins and he said he grew a beard in an attempt to shed his Belding image. But on the upside, he said that his fame has given him the opportunity to speak to high school kids and tell them to follow their dreams. :cool:

I dont know how true it is, but I have read in articles through the years that David Schwimmer does not like to be known as "ross" That isnt saying that he did not love the people and is still friends with them. He did not like the glamour aspect and being mobbed every where he went. Since the end of FRIENDS , he has pretty much been keeping hid and only to either direct or be involved with his first love, theatre.


Tina Louise wouldnt even siit with Gilligans Island cast members at CBS functions

He also said that on the E True Hollywood story. I remember seeing an episode of him on 7th Heaven with a mustache. But he was still recognizable and his voice is very recognizable.

Tina Louise distanced herself from Gilligan's Island for years.

Johnny Depp hated 21 Jump Street and asked to be let go.

I don't think he hated the show as he didn't like the false image it gave him (teen idol).

I heard that Isaac Hayes left South Park as the voice of "Chef" because of the show mocking Scientology.

Hopefully he will be more fond of his role as Karen's boyfriend (and later husband) Michael on The Wonder Years!
