  1. I worked on a tv show once that was a huge attempt to cash in on LA Law in the 90s, and it was so incredibly stupid that I don't think any of the actors ever admitted they were in it, and since it was canceled after the first season, most people have never heard of it. It died a deserved, obscure death, though some of the regulars went on to huge stardom in other shows. The odd part is even though I had no real experience, it was obvious even to me the show was on life support from the first episode, it was so awful. I couldn't believe that millions of dollars were being spent on such a horrible turkey. There were "guest" directors on each episode since the original director jumped ship immediately to save his career, and they were all good at swanning around, rewriting the script, stopping every 2 minutes to huddle with actors on "motivation" and expound to anyone who was forced to listen how discovering liquid diets (or whatever food fad was popular in Hollywood that week) had made them better than they'd ever been...which was still awful. One hotshot had directed a "cutting edge" episode of Miami Vice and wore brilliant white painters pants with a pastel tee shirt, that he changed for a fresh one every half hour. He could barely take his attention off his look to direct, and we spent hours and hours standing around or attacking the craft service tables full of pastries out of utter boredom. It killed my desire to ever act again, and I happily got out too, thank goodness. For every great show, there are hundreds of awful ones that sink actors for years. The ones that get into mega hits, like FRIENDS, are usually in completely unwatchable movies they try desperately to suppress knowledge of once they hit it big. Interviewers are always instructed never to refer to the embarrassments...
