It was the reason, it was boring, Are you not watching season 1???? When you see season 2 you will see the difference. Not that many people liked the frist season because it dealt with stupid topics. The only reason ADW was num 2 in the rankings is because the show that was before "Cosby" and the show that was after it "Cheers" If it came on in Cheers time slot it would have been cancelled.

So... is doesn't negate the fact that she did pretty well for herself, despite being fired from a popular show. She won herself an oscar in 93 and was nominated for another oscar a few years ago. It's like Hilary Swank, she was fired from 90210 and ended up with 2 oscars. I'm sure neither her or Marisa are crying over being fired from their respective shows because they were actually better for it. They're both more successful than the casts of ADW and 90210.

I never said that she wasn't a successful actress, I said I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OF HER MOVIES. I'm not debating weather her movies were good or bad or her acting abilities.

Thanks, Some people should at least attempt to read some of the past post on a thread before they add their 2 cents.

I agree. I knew what you meant. Which is why I posted the info so you could see what work she has done.

After you quoted someone as saying that she ended up with a better career, you replied that you didn't believe you had seen anything she was in. I thought you were implying that because she hasn't been in much mainstream fare, that she didn't have a successful career after she left ADW. So I did read previous posts and there's no need to get snippy. It was just a misunderstanding.

Not necessarily. If you look in season two and three, you can spot extras that are caucasian in the background of the pit and in Gilbert Hall and at the library. I used to think the same thing too but I took a closer look.
