This is Rude!

Anybody know who "Damien" is? This was written four years ago. I hope Bonnie Franklin never saw it, may she RIP.

“She was really untalented and I think she may have ruined ten years of network television,” said Sidney Gelman, the president and CEO of PrimeTimeNoTalent Amalgamated from his office in Van Nuys, California.

“When she auditioned for the part of Ann Romano in the Norman Lear show “One Day At A Time” Norm was looking for an unknown actress, but what he got was an unknowing actress.

“She was trying so hard to emote but all that came out was the weird spinning and fist pounding thing that Norman liked. The rest of the production staff was dumbfounded.

“They just sat there with their mouth’s open. Of course Norman mistook this look of horror for a look of awe and admiration and there ya go — Bonnie Franklin was a star. It wasn’t until the sixth or seventh show that Norman realized what he had done and was quietly paying people to trip Bonnie down the stairs or to put poop from Bangladesh in her food.

“Bonnie only got diarrhea once and that was probably from something that Nanette Fabray cooked. Nanette was always bringing in homemade stuff even though she was only on the show a few times. I know she had poopie hands. You could tell just by looking at her. Christ, she has to be about a hundred years old by now. ”

According to Imaginary Investigators and life partners, Ben Switchy and Shel Hartunis, numerous attempts to “get rid” of Bonnie failed because she is protected by some kind of guardian spirit — but it is not known if the spirit is an angel or a devil.

Because she could not be destroyed, the staff of “One Day At A Time” eventually had to make the scripts trimmer where Bonnie’s part was concerned. They started to make special episodes that revolved around her equally untalented TV children, Valerie Bertinelli and MacKenzie Philips.

“The folks over at that show had even gone so far as to write a script dealing with the death of Ann Romano’s character from a stray gang bullet,” said a writer who refused to be identified.

“We wrote a whole thing and it was about gangs and violence and how the kids dealt with their TV mom’s death. We even had signed Maryann Mobley to come in as an aunt from Alabama who comes to the funeral and winds up staying to take care of the girls, but no matter how much we tried, Bonnie kept on living and spinning and pounding her fists. We kept that script handy for three years but we never got to use it. Finally we had to scrap it when Maryann Mobley started doing Match Game 78. ”

Bonnie Franklin has held the title as worst TV actress ever, but the torch is gradually being passed. Hollywood insiders believe that the title now will be moved to Tia Leoni, but no official word has been released.

Bonnie Franklin continues to produce and act in plays where she has been very successful since the end of One DayAt A Time, but she will be hard pressed to get another gig like the one she had back in the 70s. Mackenzie Philips is still busy doing things like carrying heroin onto airplanes and other assorted stuff that requires no particular talent. Valerie Bertinelli is content to kind of rip people off as an infomercial hostess who hawks junky makeup and junky kitchen devices. She made it big in television commercials last year when she lost a lot of weight and spoke for weight loss guru ( bull**** artist) Jenny Craig, but even though she lost a lot of weight, she was still 50 and her inner thighs were still flabby — something she tried to hide in the commercials by walking with her legs really close together.

Yea it's ridiculous. I don't understand why people say Bonnie was untalented. I think she was perfect as Ann. I can't picture anybody else playing the part. Just a bunch of haters.

That story is such B.S. I loved Bonnie Franklin in the show. I thought she did a great job. This crap needs to stop!!!

[TVFactFan]

She is nothing special on the show after watching 4 seasons and kind of just there like the characters below

Weezy on the Jeffersons
Janet on Three's Company
Gloria on All in the Family
Alice on Alice
Thelma on Good Times


Any fans of the shows I listed didn't not tune in each week to see those characters instead of was

George
Chrissy or Jack
Archie
Flo
JJ or James

And in ODAAT's case it was Julie or Barbara

I get you point, but don't underestimate the straight man. George needed Weezy in order to be funny. Jack and Chrissy needed Janet for the same reason. Archie needed the meathead. And I tune in All in the Family to see Archie and Edith.

As for Damien, I get that Bonnie Franklin isn't everyone's cup of tea, but worst actress? That's a bit extreme. And I wonder about Damien himself. What kind of person takes the time to write something like that? There's an old saying about critics, that they're just people who are bitter that they couldn't make it as actors. Damien takes his critiques to another level and tries to be funny, but his humor is very sophomoric.

OMG!!!! WHOA!!!! I am floored , esp. the paragraph that I just copied and pasted! Who the heck could write such garbage? It's not only rude, it's kind of sick!

And childish. This person seems to have a lot of time on his hands, to sit around thinking up this warped, sophomoric stuff. You would hope someone with that much free time would use it to do something more positive, productive, and useful.

Wow. This is really dumbfounding. I think (and I hope) that none of this is actually true, especially the part about Ann's death. I just don't think, and I just don't see how that could've possibly worked. Seriously? Get over it. One Day at a Time is great show and Bonnie Franklin was a really gifted actress. The show needed her.

Don't worry. Anyone who goes into the fame game knows some people will like you, some won't. It's all part of it. I guarantee back in the day, someone was going "that hack Shakespeare? Worst writer ever!"

[Svenfan1234]

^I thought so. Some people just don't know anything.

However this is going too far, and if anyone wants to help me hunt the guy down, be here about 5:30. I'm heading out at 6.

You know ODAAT isnt everybody's cup of tea. I'm sure there are actresses and actors that you like and I dont like and vice versa. I would like to know if that story Damien said is true? Is there any truth to it?

[Anna Karenina]

Damn it! Damien!
