2) Captain Janeway in Voyager

3) Captain Cisco in Deep Space Nine.


Am I off base here?
1) Agree on David Caruso. But I generally find the CSI franchise unwatchable. Can't comment on 2 and 3.

2) David Schwimmer in Friends or anything else (except Band of Brothers, because he was supposed to be schmuck, and therefore he was perfectly cast).

3) Anthony Edwards on ER.

4) What's-her-name who played Amy on The West Wing. But she was only unwatchable there, and is not generally so.

5) Helen Hunt in anything.

6) Neve Campbell and Jennifer Love Hewitt in Party of Five, and JLH in anything else.

7) That big-headed kid in Dawson's Creek, but that show was already generally unwatchable because of the writing.

8) Kim Cattrall in Sex and the City.

This list is by no means exhaustive.

Caruso was great on NYPD Blue. CSI is unwatchable.
Schimmer is unwatchable, except in Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I like Helen Hunt.
JLH is hot enough to ignore her bad acting. Neve is not.

Helen Hunt has a habit that, if I were to point it out to you, it would make it impossible for you to watch her without noticing it. So I won't.

My point about Neve was that she's not as horrible in everything else as she was in PO5.

Right Board for This?

Genie Grants Scalia Strict Constructionist Interpretation Of Wish
August 31, 2005 | Issue 41•35


WASHINGTON, DC—A genie freed from a battered oil lamp by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia granted the conservative jurist a strict constructionist interpretation of his wish for "a hundred billion bucks" Monday. "Sim sim salabim! Your wish is my command!" the genie proclaimed amid flashes of light and purple smoke, immediately filling the Supreme Court building with a massive herd of wild male antelopes. When Justice Scalia complained that the "bucks" had razed the U.S. Supreme Court building, trampling and killing several of his clerks and bringing traffic in the nation's capital to a standstill for hours, the genie said, "Your honor, your wish is a sacred and unalterable document whose interpretation is not subject to the whims of society and changing social context."

I don't know about their acting, but you're doing an excellent job of playing a 15 story dork with this post. Deep Space Nine? WTFAYTA?

Captain Cisco? I thought they took that shit off the market because so many freshman girls were getting their stomachs pumped because of it...

Awww, come on, you can use the Spoiler Ink to protect sgtclub. She's annoyed me since her St. Elsewhere days.

Is it the squinting? Or the hair in her face being brushed away every 5 seconds?

These two make anything more watchable.

I agree about Helen Hunt.

Her last name rhymes with "cunt."

I have tried really hard to be a Trekkie but I am afraid I can only be a Trekker. Every show since the original Star Trek has had incredibly annoying characters. The Next Generation had Commander Riker, the Counselor, Wesley and Dr. Crusher. Deep Space Nine had Captain Cisco, and Voyager had Captain Janeway and Chikote or whatever the hell his name was.

Mad About You has got to be one of the most annoying shows of all time.

I think you have to point it out. I never saw an episode of P05 and think it ran while I was living overseas. I don't think there are reruns either.

Neve doesn't do it for me but JLH is pretty hot.

This isn't news, but I can't stop looking at her TITS whenever they are onscreen. I could care less about her horse face because the TITS are so magical, at least for now.
