10 Behind The Scenes Dramas That Ruined Great TV Shows - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Most famous TV shows go on for years. They film all day, all week, all the time and if you don't like something (or someone) during that time you have to face it head-on... over and over again. The cast and crew of a show become like family, it's true, but even families can't spend that much time together without fighting. Humans may need connections to thrive, but there's also that whole "too much of a good thing" saying. And so naturally, drama seems to incubate on the set of long-running TV series.

Since the beginning of time, or well - the beginning of television sets, there has been drama behind the scenes of our favourite shows. Sometimes, casts and crews are lucky and they manage to love each other unconditionally from beginning till the end. Others... not so much.

Even though actors are known for being notoriously difficult divas, it's not always the stars causing drama. It could be anyone from the make-up artists to the executive producers causing trouble. And unfortunately for the team behind the scenes... it always shows. If art is supposed to be a reflection of your own mental state, then a decline in a tv series' quality is definitely indicative of a hostile work environment.

And like a child of divorce, we fans are left screaming: WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!?

In retrospect, the Charmed feud did kill the show. Yes, Shannen Doherty could be blunt and rude, but after she was purged from the series, Charmed went into a major decline. They honestly fired the wrong sister.

Roseanne should have stayed canceled instead of continuing with The Connors.

Although Two and a Half Men went on to 4 more successful seasons, I think it was ruined after the Sheen incident.

I thought the first Kutcher episode was awful (writing, not him). The eighth season was the end for me.
