Default TV Shows That Would Make Your Nerves Shot Working On

ALF- Im not shure if the cast got along or not, but from what has been said over the years, the rehearsals were long, it was hot on the set and the set was dangerous to work on (the trap doors). I read somewhere that Max Wright (Willie Tanner) walked right off the set after the last episode and drove right away in his car.

Grace Under Fire- Brett Butler (Grace) was drinking all the time. She even flashed her "rack" at one of her younger co-stars.

Threes Company- All the high tensions from season 5 when Suzanne Somers was demanding more money. It would have been hard to work with everyone being on edge.

Other Ones That Are Worth Mentioning........
* Martin
* Diff'rent Strokes
* Grey's Anatomy (the whole TR Knight deal)

I've never seen Community but Chevy Chase would have to be a pain in the ass to work with.

I've never seen it either, but my cousin was the producer and he quit because of the entire cast and not just Chevy Chase who he described as "a really mean, nasty s.o.b.!"
And he says the rest of the cast were just as bad.

He used to work on THAT 70s SHOW and 3rd ROCK FROM THE SUN and says that some of the "70s" cast was the same way, but the "3rd ROCK" cast was the complete opposite.

After what just went down with Angus T. Jones this week, Three and a Half Men. After all the cheesy soap opera stuff with Charlie Sheen the last thing that crew needs is the second coming of Kirk Cameron.


The Young and the Restless - The massive egos of Eric Braeden and Michelle Stafford have not made things pleasant on the set at times.

Roseanne - she became a control freak and some of the cast and crew weren't happy with her then husband Tom Arnold when he was around too.

Why would you say that Joel would be difficult to work with? He comes off as a complete a$$, but that's part of his schtick.

Currently watching The View right now, and I'm sure the behind-the-scenes on that show with all the yappiness and different opinions and egos would be quite something!!!

I've always been curious about That 70's Show. Aside from Lisa Robin Kelly's problems I've never seen anything made public. I always thought Red Forman would be a cool guy in real-life.

I have read that guest stars on The Man From UNCLE were often very uncomfortable because Robert Vaughn and David McCallum bickered constantly - when they were actually speaking to one another, that is.

Also, apparently Stephanie Zimbalist and Pierce Brosnan never could get along either, making for an uncomfortable environment on Remington Steele.

Roseanne- the Constant Backstage Fighting Day after day, week after Week and Years after Years would have drove me Crazy by the Fourth Season or even earlier! Was there ever a peaceful day on the Sets?

The Cosby Show during season 6 and 7. Not just because of Lisa but from what I heard Tempestt Bledsoe Could not get along well with a few of the other castmembers mostly Joesph. She got a long Good with Bill and Phylicia but according to one castmember she would have days where she was in very bad moods. One minute she would be happy then the next minute she would go off.

I Love Lucy during the last couple Years of the show.

I agree about Three's Company during the whole Fifth season.

I read somewhere that during the Filming of the "Jeff's Collie" years of Lassie Tommy Rettig (Jeff) and Donald Keeler ("Porky") didn't exactly get along.

Joel McHale is reportedly one of the nicest guys in show business, So, I call bull****.

Exactly!! Like I said, I think that persona is just part of his act on The Soup and on Community. He seems like a really nice guy in real life.

I didn't know about Tempestt and her not getting along with the others on behind-the-scenes on The Cosby Show. So she didn't get along with the actor who played Martin? Did they have very many scenes together? She had more scenes with Elvin I thought.

I would think The Brady Bunch behind-the-scenes would be stressful too because Robert Reed and Sherwood Schwartz would argue over storylines and the show's image. From all accounts though, it seems that Robert never let his unhappiness with the show affect his relationship with the kids and was a really great father figure to all of them. I think that's really nice. Also you had everyone hooking up with each other behind-the-scenes on that show too!!!

Yes Joseph said that in the E! true Hollywood Story. She didn't really have any scenes with Martin, She only appeared in a few of the Episodes that Martin was in also and they had no speaking parts face to face. But there were so many peoples n the show in Later Seasons it was hard to keep track. she had more Scenes with Elvin.
