Who do you feel deserves their own sitcom? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 02-21-2002, 06:17 PM

Which cast member of SNL(Saturday Night Live) should get their own sitcom? It could be someone past or present. I think most SNL'ers have great potential as sitcom stars. Just look at the success of David Spade.
It could also be a former sitcom star that you wish would get another crack at a show. For example, Danny Devito, Shelly Long, Steve Webber etc, etc...

Shelley Long has already gotten two more shots at a sitcom (anyone remember "Good Advice" or "Kelly Kelly"), and Steven Weber had that horrible "Weber Show" last year, so I vote against them. Give someone else a turn.

I really love Mike Meyers...but he's so busy making great movies that he probably never would commit to a tv show. I like Adam Sandler too...but same thing,making movies.

I would have to say it is me who should have his own sitcom. I pitched 3 pilots this year, but no sales. Check out my on-line journal and find out more about me at:

I miss Seinfeld, but don't think that'll ever happen. A few former sitcom actors I'd like to see in new shows are Michael Gross, Sherman Helmsley, John Ritter, and Tom Hanks lol.

Lorraine Newman gets a CBS comedy in April!

DJM77 · 02-23-2002, 08:50 PM

I've always wanted to see Gilbert Godfrey in a regular role on a sitcom.

Pitooey · 02-23-2002, 09:23 PM

I wish John Ritter would come back with a new show.

Superbatboy · 02-25-2002, 03:25 PM

I wish they'd give Margaret Cho another chance. I was sooo mad when the took All American Girl off the air. Even though I was only like 12 or 13. That show was soooo funny.

TJL · 02-25-2002, 03:38 PM

I have a feeling Michael Keaton will be getting his own show soon.
I think his upcoming guest role on Frasier is a test to see if Television audiences think he's still got it.
If it goes well, I'll bet it won't be long before they're developing a show for him.

Oh, I agree with DJM77. Gilbert Gottfried deserves his own show.

mstewart · 02-25-2002, 10:23 PM

I would like to see Bonnie Franklin in another sitcom. I still to this day miss her and it's too bad that she did not get another series after One Day At A Time.

luvinjuan1980 · 02-27-2002, 01:27 PM

Howard Hessman
Dan Aykroyd and John Goodman on the same show.

Brian Damage · 02-27-2002, 05:08 PM

I'd love to see John Ratzenberger(Cliff from Cheers) get another shot at a sitcom. He was supposed to have a sitcom on Fox, but the deal fell through. I also think that Molly Shannon would be a great sitcom star, if only she'd give up movies.

Captain Ken · 03-08-2002, 02:24 AM

Two great actress should team up.. How about the Adventures of Auntie Mame ??????? We need them back together or Murder THEY Wrote Two partners solve murders on Broadway;

Captain Ken · 03-08-2002, 02:27 AM

America's most talented superstar would be great in a sit com. Another Gigdet or Tammy in the 21st Century
