Would you watch a show that you didn't like because it guested someone you liked? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Sitcomwriter · 07-31-2003, 01:26 AM

I was just wondering this.Would you watch a show that you didn't like just because it guest starred someone you liked? For instance, if you hated "Will & Grace" but loved William Shatner and he was to guest star on the show, Would you watch it? I was just wondering how many people would.Thanks.

BTW, William Shatner isn't guest starring on "Will & Grace" LOL.

Unfortunately yes. Like I hate friends but the episode guest starring Kathleen Turner I wathed because she's may favorite movie actress...

Crimson and Clover · 07-31-2003, 04:19 PM

Small Wonderian · 07-31-2003, 04:57 PM

dawsongirl · 07-31-2003, 06:57 PM

All the time. Like...uh...well, I can't think of one right now, but I'm sure I've done it.

ABC1 · 07-31-2003, 08:46 PM

Absolutely.

Of course! Back in...1998 on Friends, the doctor was obsessed with The Fonz. My God, Henry wasnt even on it, but I had to watch it just for the mention of it.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 07-31-2003, 11:20 PM

Yes, lol, one time John Ritter was guest starring on "Law and Order" or something which I like HATE...I just don't like shows like that...but I still watched it lol.

*PinkLady* · 07-31-2003, 11:49 PM

You betcha.

YoliUSA · 08-01-2003, 12:01 AM

Yes, sometimes I even tape it.

dandelion wine · 08-01-2003, 12:29 AM

Yep!

I'm not a big fan of King of Queens, but a friend of mine mentioned Lou Ferrigno so that's enough for me. Also, I haven't made a habit of taping I'm With Busey, but Lou was on there for a few minutes, so I had to break out with the blank tapes.

Chocoholic · 08-01-2003, 11:50 AM

Nope.

Janice · 08-02-2003, 01:35 AM

I would watch a show that I disliked if I liked the guest star. I'm sure I've done it in the past, but can't think of any right now.

DandR · 08-02-2003, 07:09 AM

Of course. I watched the Frasier when Michael Keaton guest starred awhile back.

Getalifeboy · 08-02-2003, 11:04 AM

I used to love Chris Elliott on Letterman and "Get a Life" ...One of the funniest guys on the planet IMHO!!

I tuned in to see him in guest roles on many sitcoms that I never watched otherwise "Murphy Brown", "Wings" "Nanny"..But those shows sucked so bad not even Chris could help!!

I only went to see the movie Spiderman because Randy "Macho Man" Savage had a role in it..

And I never watch NFL pregame shows but with Rush Limbaugh joining ESPN the TIVO will be set!!!
