What she does (evidently) need is better judgment in choosing projects. Besides Buffy, and to a lesser extent Cruel Intentions and The Grudge, most of her projects have been fairly calamitous. Ringer was the worst of the bunch, but she's been in plenty of other dogs. I really can't explain it; I guess she needs a new agent or something.<br /><br />I have to admit I've detested Robin Williams ever since he played Mork in the 1970's, so there's no way I'll watch the new show. His "wacky" shtick is just so, so tired at this point. Oh well, it sounds like it's another bellyflop for Mrs. Prinze anyway.

SMG can definitely act and she can be funny. Maybe it's a lack of chemistry with Robin Williams and a bit of miscasting?Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-78533037067623397022013-10-02T21:57:41.975-04:002013-10-02T21:57:41.975-04:00TSK -- I am a huge fan of Buffy but must admit to ...TSK -- I am a huge fan of <i>Buffy</i> but must admit to not watching any daytime soap.<br /><br />What I was trying to say, perhaps too harshly, is that neither of SMG's last two shows have shown her in her best light. I would love for her to find one that does.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-91376368217478086892013-10-02T14:53:16.287-04:002013-10-02T14:53:16.287-04:00"First Ringer, now this.

I’m beginning to wonder when poor Sarah Michelle Gellar is going to find a project that shows us that she can actually act."<br /><br />I assume you're not familiar with All My Children (for which she won an Emmy award) or Buffy the Vampire Slayer?TheShadowKnowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073693648569864707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-77645870073614184542013-10-01T15:24:04.458-04:002013-10-01T15:24:04.458-04:00We feel exactly the same about The Crazy Ones.

I wouldn't expect it to last a season unless they get enough in-show advertising to make it profitable.<br /><br />I liked the Michael J. Fox show. It's not something I think I'll tune in for especially, but I thought it was cute. It's nice to see Betsy Brandt smile. Plus, that gag with the ball pit made me laugh out loud. I don't know where it's like elsewhere, but MJF's face is plastered on pretty much every single bus in LA. They are not being stingy about promoting this one. It's really no wonder. Look at the massive successes he's had in the sitcom world in the past.<br /><br />Just couldn't get into the Blacklist. Maybe I'll come back if it gets better.<br /><br />It's a shame Maggie Lawson's new show isn't any good. They really haven't been advertising it at all! I really like her and I hope she can find something worthy of her next season.sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.com
