Sean Hayes: TV Poison

Well Sean Hayes has been trying very hard to get back in front of the camera and it seems like nobody cares if he does or not. First he came back in last years flop Sean Saves the world and now he helped killed The Millers on CBS which just got cancelled . This guy needs to stick with producing shows like Grimm.

falloff I saw this interview Ted McGinley did and he addressed him being known as TV poison. He said that he would join TV shows and they would last years longer so he never really understood that label. He kinda had a good point because he was on Married with Children for 8 years. But now Sean Hayes is the new TV poison, he weaseled his way onto the Millers and 4 episodes in the show gets cancelled.

The Millers is the worst fucking sitcom I've ever seen in my entire life. And I watched 3 episodes of Kevin Hart's "The Big House."

Sean Hayes should host a variety sketch program similar to the Carol Burnette Show. He was great on Maya Rudolphs variety show.

Did Maya's show get cancelled? I watched the first episode and thought it had potential and I never saw it again.

I stumbled across "Sean Saves The World" one day and I was pleasantly surprised. It was funny to me. I always heard this criticism that Sean was playing the same flamboyant character he did on "Will and Grace" but those criticisms obviously came from people who never watched the show. He and Linda Lavin as his mom has such great comedic chemistry it's a shame it didn't last. Just goes to show what perceptions can do to a project.

Actually, it was a one-off special that I believe was a pilot for a potential variety series. It garnered some fairly decent ratings for NBC, but they passed on bringing it to a full-time series, even for the summer.

As for whether Sean Hayes is TV ratings poison, the same could be said for Chistian Slater, who was in four failed series (My Own Worst Enemy, The Forgotten, Breaking In, Mind Games). Also, Paula Marshall was in a number of failed series in the late 1990's and early 2000's, and Summer Glau, who starred as the hot young female terminator sent back in time to protect Sarah and John Conner in the Terminator TV series, has been in a few failed sci-fi TV series. Maybe there can be a family drama starring Sean Hayes, Christian Slater, and Paula Marshall as siblings struggling with life issues, with Summer Glau as Paula Marshall's daughter and Ted McGinley as the family matriarch.

There's no such thing as TV poison. TV shows succeed and fail TOTALLY by accident, quality be damned.

NBC should put Maya's variety show back on during the summer.

I think the cast of the Millers would disagree with you

Eh. The show was renewed after last year but it never did well. It even fell below a show that they cancelled early in the season this year.

It's kinda like one of my favorite shows on The CW, "Reign". It didn't do well last year but it was renewed anyway. Now it's doing even worse. And it's a really fun show. Why people are watching the dour "Game Of Thrones" and not this soapy eye candy I'll never understand. Where is the Gossip Girl crowd thast would eat this stuff up? Where are the Downton Abbey fans that love period costumes and stuffy melodrama? Where are the Game of Thrones fans that prefer a little fun in their furor? But like I said shows are hits by accident. Five years from now who would've known. It could've been a huge hit.

CW is becoming more sci-fi (which I have no problem with). Ringer was a good show, though once the secret came out I think that would of hurt the show if it was picked up. Sean Hayes joining the cast of the Millers seemed forced and unnecessary. Though I thought CBS should have picked up the Crazy ones instead of the Millers (yes I know Robin Williams is no longer with us, bless his soul)
