Actors We Love in TV Sitcoms that Suck
By Dustin Rowles | Seriously Random Lists | September 20, 2011 | Comments ()
Inspired by “2 Broke Girls,” a bad show with a great lead, Kat Dennings, as well as the Emmy win of Melissa McCarthy (yay! for Sookie. Boo for “Mike and Molly”) I scoured the Internet and the back recesses of my brain to come up with 12 more bad shows with likable leads. It is not an exhaustive list, obviously. There are so many failed sitcoms that to create an exhaustive list would be, well, exhausting. I do encourage you to add to it with your own fragmented recollections of TV sitcoms past starring those who you loved at the time or those you have come to love since.

John Goodman, Deidrich Bader, Olympia Dukakis, and Jean Smart in “Center of the Universe”
Fred Savage, Jane Curtin, and Maggie Lawson in “Crumbs”
Dave Chapelle in “Buddies”
Margaret Cho and B.D. Wong in “All American Girl
Dan Aykroyd and Anthony Clark in “Soul Man”
