George Clooney calls the show sh--ty? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Impressions · 07-18-2009, 11:17 PM

I was reading an Us Weekly magazine from February 4 of last year and they had a page called 'Loose Talk', and when asked about getting his start in show business he responded "I have a list of really sh--ty shows that I was really sh--ty in."

I appreciate his honesty, but he just another list of stars that bash the shows that gave them their start? I guess we can call off a reunion special with him if that ever happens again.

Well, Clooney's a big shot now. What do you expect?? (Personally, I've always thought he's WAY overrated - both in the looks and acting departments.)

I've said this before, but I hate when actors/actresses bash the shows that made them popular. I doubt that FOL turned Clooney into the mega star that he is today, but I still remember him being on the show. For him to say that about FOL is insulting to the other cast members and frankly makes him sound really arrogant, like he's "so big" now that everything else is just an afterthought. That's a crappy thing for him to do.

My guess is that's just his humor. He doesn't come across to me as the type of person to bash where he got his start.

George Clooney's an actor?

Mr. Television · 07-19-2009, 08:02 AM

I think he's bitter. I heard him say once how he was fired from FOL I don't think he liked it.

Well maybe he is also referring to the thousand and one shows he was also on...E/R the sitcom, Baby Talk, Roseanne (first season), Sunset Strip, Bodies of Evidence, Sisters.....yea, long list of crap there *sarcasm*

I completely agree - like some other celebs *coughEvePlumbcough*...

As Sonny said, George probably still has bad feelings about his days on FOL because he was fired from the series.

I think her only famous non-Brady role was that tv movie Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway.

Yes, and based on the success of that movie, she turned down The Brady Bunch Hour in 1977, figuring she was on a new career path.

It didn't happen, and she participated in all the subsequent Brady reunions.

But Eve had the distinction of being the one that started the "Fake Brady Girl" role that would play a part in other reunions.

How wonderful.

She also did a guest spot on Facts of Life as Blair's sister.
