Scripted Television: Generic Thread

[FishHooks]

So. Aniston being a big star does not mean that other people on the show cannot be. They aren't mutually exclusive.

Perry:
1) Was on a hit TV show that many Americans were hooked to
2) Was making a million episode on season 9 and 10
3) Was a household name
4) Was even parodied on other shows (madtv, simpsons, and etc.)

If that doesn't make you a big tv star, then what does?

A sex tape?

Getting paid millions of dollars and being in a #1 show when you do not have Courtney Cox and Jennifer Anniston in your cast would be a good start. He is famous--yes; he is rich--yes; he is well-known --yes. Has he ever done anything really successful where he was the sole lead? Not that I can think of.

Huge flaw. Using your logic, a lot of big stars on tv right now would not be considered big stars.

Why would I take your being wrong personally? :sarcastic_hand:

Chelsea Handler is famous but her sitcom flopped because it wasn't funny. The same will happen with Matthew Perry's new show. The reason is that neither of them is really a comedian. :blum3:

Chelsea Handler actually is a comedian, but Matthew Perry isn't.

I just wanted to make sure. Some people get really butt hurt on other forums and take things the wrong way. Lots of context is stripped away in words and texts since I am not a word smith.

Any who, let's just say we agree to disagree on Perry.

While I agree I can't help it. I loved Chandler.

Matthew Perry went from being the smartass Friend to being the straight man who plays the foil to the eccentric character/lead. That does not make him a huge standout talent in the world of comedy IMHO. As for Chelsea Handler, sure she is a technically a comedian, but all she really does is say cynical smartass **** to and about people with little creativity or wit to it IMO.
