Today's Blind Items - The Most Dysfunctional Show Ever

People often say that Moonlighting was the most dysfunctional show that ever aired. Not so. The show that was the most dysfunctional was this sitcom that featured actors that are now A listers. Each week was like a Fleetwood Mac reunion. Prior to the shooting of the first season, this now A list actor (#1) was having sex regularly with an actress (#2) who was an A list tweener and is now a struggling, yet very rich C list actress. When the filming started, the lead actress (#3) in the sitcom who has always been a solid B-/C+ list actress started sleeping with one of the male leads (#4). This continued until our A list actor broke it off with his tweener and started having sex with the lead actress. Our A lister then got back together with the tweener but still had sex with the lead actress until she found out about it and then went back to having sex with the guy she was with in the first place. This cycle repeated itself for several  months. When the show went on hiatus during the first season, our A lister went his own way and never even spoke to the lead actress. Then, on the first day back of filming he wanted to start right where they had left off. At that point though, another future A lister (#5) joined the show and our actress (#2) started a relationship with him that lasted almost all season. Well, this caused our first A lister all kinds of ego bruising and he and the second A lister would often come to blows trying to show who had the biggest peen. It was a mess. Meanwhile, another actress (#6) on the show was having sex with the actor from the first season (#4)  until A lister #1 decided that he wanted to have her. He wooed her for weeks until she broke it off with #4 only to try and get him back when #1 dumped her after having sex with her. Things only got more complicated when in the next seasons there was  recurring actress (#7) who was the object of affection between the two A listers but ended up going out with #4. She did sleep with #1 though which eventually caused a breakup between herself and #4. In the final season of the show, weeks would go by with no one speaking to each other and other weeks it seemed like everyone on the show was sleeping together and then the following week everyone would have switched.

  8. Giving myself a run down:

    #1 - now A list actor
    #2 - then A list tweener & now a rich but struggling C list actress
    #3 - lead actress that is always B-/C+ list
    #4 - actor on the show
    #5 - future A list actor
    #6 - actress on the show
    #7 - recurring actress on the show

  10. Trying to think of what show had so many A list actors on it. I wish we knew how many seasons or what time period it aired.

  11. If freaks and geeks were a sitcom I would guess that. Plus it only had one season...hmmm

  16. This is so confusing my eyes are crossed just from reading it - what show had all those A-Listers?

    Dynasty - but are they even A list?
    M.A.S.H. ??

    Friends - no not A list!

    I have no clue and whoever gets this should get an award for figuring it out!!!!

  20. Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place

    ReplyDelete
  21. Actually, reading more closely, I think it had at least four seasons--depends on whether the first season hiatus was a short break or in between seasons 1 and 2.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Saved By The Bell?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yeah I rescind my guess.

    What makes this even more difficult is the fact that Enty doesn't say if they are now A-list actors in MOVIES or TV which would have helped somewhat.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I don't think ER had any A-list Tweener on it.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm considering making a flowchart. Hats off to those who can figure it out without taking notes!

    ReplyDelete
  26. @FSP I was also thinking of Two Guys a Girl and a Pizza Place. Ryan Reynolds, Nathan Fillion, Jennifer Westfeldt, Tiffani Amber Theissen all in that show at times but most dysfunctional ever? Not sure....

    As for Moonlighting being really dysfunctional, I heard Bruce Willis, Cybill Shepherd and the creator on the DVD commentary. They all got along fine and seemed to look back at the chaos with fondness. I'm sure there's been much worse. Roseanne's show was meant to be crazy behind the scenes

    ReplyDelete
  27. Could this be Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Former A list tweener being Michelle Trachtenberg? (I never watched Buffy so it might be hard for me to put this together).

  30. Hard one, I think the key is the tweener.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Two Guys , A Girl and a Pizza Place wouldn't be a bad guess, but other than Ryan Reynolds, what other A-Lister came out of that show?

    ReplyDelete
  32. A sitcom that had an A list tweener who is now a C list but rich actress? Hillary Duff and Miley Cyrus come to mind. But if it's earlier than the 90's...who are the A list tweeners of the 80's who are now very rich? Can't think of any other than the Olson's.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think we need to start by figuring out who the tweener is. Who else other than Amanda Bynes is a former A list tweener who is now a very rich C list actress.

    Hillary Duff?
    Miley Cyrus?
    Who else?

    ReplyDelete
  34. @Ellen - I had that thought too, but I refuse to believe it due to my love of the show. I'm looking for another answer now. Much more important than working.

    ReplyDelete
  35. The whole way through, all I could think was The Love Boat. I'm officially no use at all on this one, but I'm dying to see what y'all figure out.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I'm completely confused, but I'll throw out a couple of guesses: That 70's Show, 90210?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Maybe if we can figure out who the a list tweener is that is a struggling actress yet very rich, we may be able to crack this. Or I guess instead of we, I should you guys could crack this. I don't even know where to begin with a guess.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I know it was a drama, but I'm going with Party of Five. It's also top search result when googling the words: fleetwood mac reunion sitcom.

    ReplyDelete
  39. The only problem with it being Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place was that Tiffani Thiessen (the presumed former Tweener) didn't join the show until season 2 or 3 and she only lasted one season.

    This one is really hard. :\

    ReplyDelete
  40. I don't have a guess yet, but I don't think the tweener was necessarily on the show. It said prior to shooting...

    ReplyDelete
  41. This has to be Growing Pains:

    1) Kirk Cameron
    2) Tracy Gold
    3) Joanna Kerns
    4) Alan Thicke
    5) Leo DiCaprio
    6) Julie McCullough
    7) Chelsea Noble

    This was obviously a joke.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Sounds like this show was revamped, adding an actor after the hiatus. Maybe that can help narrow down the choices to sitcoms that added an actor in the first season.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Undeclared was one season but spread over a few years so they probably had a hiatus. Grasping at straws.

  44. Combing this over now...

  45. This one is so confusing, but it has to be Ally McBeal. It's not a sitcom, but it was a comedy-drama.

    Calista Flockhart, Portia de Rossi, Lucy Liu. James Marsden and Robert Downey Jr. were both on the show later, as was Hayden Panettiere.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Clearly this is Charles in Charge.

    No but really, I have no idea.

    ReplyDelete
  47. If Amanda Bynes had more TV work, the A-List Tweener could be her with a nod to her being "very rich."

    ReplyDelete
  48. FWIW, I think we should be looking at something a lot older - like 1970's - with a big ensemble cast that went on to bigger careers. Where's Space Cowboy? He's good at this type of BI.

    Taxi? Bonanza? Just spitballing about the oldies - Welcome Back Kotter? One Day at a Time? In that vein.

    I want every BI to be about That 70's Show because I hate it.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Graham- what about John Stamos? The tweener has to be the key and there's very few who have a lot of money.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I think # 2 is Amanda Bynes based on the description. It also never says that #2 was on the show, just she was banging the future A lister before the show started. I'll keep thinking...

    ReplyDelete
  67. I don't think the tweener was in the show. It just says that the A list actor had sex regularly with AN actress (the tweener) and then he broke it off and then resumed. So I think we are looking at A listers who have dated former tweeners, not TV shows starring tweeners.

    Or maybe I'm wrong...

    ReplyDelete
  68. @spacecowboy78 we are on the same page.

    It opens it up too. It could be a grown up Olsen twin.

    ReplyDelete
  69. what about old school like Soap?

    ReplyDelete
  70. Head. Hurts. Bad. No idea, but I don't think that the tweener was actually on the show. Just that the A-lister was sleeping with her.

    All I can get out of this is that the show was a sitcom, lasted at least 3 seasons, and had 2 future A-list actors (one of which didn't join until the 2nd season). Problem is that Enty doesn't say whether they are TV or movie A-list.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Thanks @erin for the breakdown! I like the Ally McBeal guess but the tween doesn't seem to fit.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I take back my Olsen guess. None of the rest of it fits. Maybe we are looking for someone who used to be an actress and is now better known as a singer and that's why she doesn't worry about money.

    ReplyDelete
  73. there is also a chance to be a hiatus due to the writer strike that put some shows on hold. this would be a sure time frame.

  74. The only show I can think of where an A list actor was the lead and the role was taken over by another "A" list actor is Spin City with Michael J. Fox and Charlie Sheen.

  75. Im on board with the Ally McBeal guest- Hayden as the tweener.

    ReplyDelete
  76. @ButterKwup I don't think Stamos has ever been considered A list, but even so, that would mean there was another A-lister to come out of Full House and I just don't think there was.

    @Spacecowboy78 good catch that the Tweener wasn't necessarily on the show.

  80. I keep thinking Hilary Duff for the "very rich but struggling" tween as she married into quite a bit of money and she doesn't really work anymore.

  81. i think space cowboy's right when you reread it doesn't say the tweener was on the show. So who was A list and on sitcom that dated Bynes??

    #4 – male lead on the show in first season - PROBABLY REPLACED
    #5 - future A list actor who joined in second season
    #6 - actress on the show (sex with #4)
    #7 - recurring actress on the show after first two seasons (slept with #1, broke up with #4)

    ReplyDelete
  101. Mandy moore was the former tweener. Chalke is the c list lead.

    ReplyDelete
  102. This isn't Scrubs. Even if we stretch to call Zach Braff A list, who is the second A lister? The blinds states these were actors around for multiple seasons of filming, not guest stars like Ryan Reynolds.

  103. In 1994, Henner hosted her own TV talk show, a career move that coincided with the publication of her autobiography By All Means Keep on Moving.

    #3 - lead actress that is always B-/C+ list TRAYLOR HOWARD
    #4 – male lead on the show in first season - RICHARD RUCCOLO
    #5 - future A list actor who joined in second season NATHAN FILLION
    #6 - actress on the show (sex with #4) JILLIAN BACH? JENNIFER WESTFELDT?
    #7 - recurring actress on the show after first two seasons (slept with #1, broke up with #4)TIFFANI THEISSEN (later married Richard Ruccolo)

  114. I like both the Cheers and Taxi guesses (you can plug in Carol Kane as the recurring actress...), but where on either show was there a tweener?

    ReplyDelete
  115. I am pretty sure this is Married With Children
    #1. The now A-list: Ed O'Neill, he's on Modern Family and am pretty sure all adult cast in that serie are currently A-list TV star
    #2. Tweener: Christina Applegate, she was 16 when the show first started and she has been in several TV shows and movies, which made her rich
    #3. Always B/C actress: Katey Sagal, she was in handful of TV series after MWC: 8 simple rules and Sons of Anarchy
    #5. Future A-lister: Matt LeBlanc, all Friends actors can be considered A list, like forever, just look how good the reruns are going on current TV
    4,6,7 --> have no clue

    ReplyDelete
  116. Countervail, I think you got it!!!

    Misskania, from what I've heard, the cast of Married with Children were all pretty close. Christina Applegate speaks well of Ed O'Neill (apparently everyone was very supportive of her when her mom had cancer) and I don't think that would be the case if they were all sleeping around.

    ReplyDelete
  117. @space - I meant that I didn't want to insult dermatology, by implying that you don't have many emergencies. Wasn't that the rub between Jerry and his doctor girlfriend - she talked about saving lives, and he felt she didn't - until she brought up her skin cancer patients?

    At any rate, just didn't want you to think I was in any way belittling your field. Now, clear your afternoon and solve this blind (please?)!!

    ReplyDelete
  118. Tori Spelling is not wealthy... she inherited basically nothing in the will.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Don't think it's Married with Children and I don't think there's another A-Lister on the show. I don't think Matt LeBlanc counts as he was only on a handful (if that) episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  120. @countervail, that's not bad, I guess Nathan Fillion could be considered A list TV (and the hearts of Firefly fans). I can't see him sleeping with Rachel Leigh Cook though, nor do I think she's likely "very rich" or a former A list tweener, so I can't buy her for #2.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Is Nathan Fillion even considered A List for TV? I'd figure B- if that.

    ReplyDelete
  122. And regarding Married With Children, Ed O'Neill, despite all the things we see here about underage sex in Hollywood, was not banging teens, no reason to drag someone who's a decent guy into this kind of thing.

    ReplyDelete
  123. @spacecowboy78 - I think the BI has an error in referencing #5 sleeping with #2. I think it's supposed to say #3. Enty keeps referring to "the tweener" and "the actress" for #2 and #3. #5 was sleeping with "the actress" which is why I think the numbering is off there, referring to her as #2. I will agree that I'm clueless if #2, "the tweener," is really Rachel Leigh Cook but RR supposedly dated her right about the time of the show. Is she "very rich?" Maybe he was dating another tweener about that time I'm no aware of.

    ReplyDelete
  124. "In 1994, Henner hosted her own TV talk show, a career move that coincided with the publication of her autobiography By All Means Keep on Moving. Chatty and very candid, the book revealed that Henner had slept with virtually every male member of the Taxi cast (only Danny DeVito was bypassed because, unlike his hot-to-trot Louie DePalma character, he never asked)"

    Not quite. She only slept with Hirsch and Danza. I own her book and I've read it a few times, and since I just watched all five seasons of "Taxi," I just consulted the book for some facts about the show a few days ago. She did not sleep with most of the cast...just two. Plus, they were all single, so that isn't so shocking to me.

    I have no guess, though. I never watched that Ryan Reynolds show, but it's probably the best guess so far.

  129. I' m not sure exactly which seasons they were on, but what about the Mickey Mouse Club from the 90's? Ther was Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosslin, Britney Spears, Christina Agularia and Keri Russell.

  130. Weeds! MLP was getting it in with Hunter Parrish.
    Just kidding! I did consider it for a moment, Mary Kate was a gf for a season, but I couldn't make it all fit.
    Kevin Nealon might be A list though ;)

  131. I'm disappointed in my fellow CDANers, 150 comments and no consensus guess yet...not that I really have one. The 2 Guys 1 Girl one is the best one, I think but I don't buy Rachel Leigh Cook as a rich former tweener. She was practically 20 when she hit it big with "She's All That" in 1999 and while she might have been big with the teenage crowd there was never a time she could have been considered a "tweener". At any rate, she fell off the map a few years later and while she's resurfaced lately with an OK, not spectacular, career, there's no reason to believe she's "very rich".
    Maybe the "tweener" was Alanis? She was on that old Nickelodeon show for a few episodes in her early teens, and she certainly was very rich by the time she and Ryan were together.

  132. Don't think it's Spin City. The way the Blind is written makes it look like both the A-listers became so either during or after the show. It also sounds like the second A-lister came on board the second season.

    Both Fox and Sheen were probably considered A-list prior to the show and Sheen wasn't brought on in the second season. I never watched the show, but I'm not even sure they were really on the series much together? I thought Sheen was brought in to replace Fox.

  133. Cheers is a great guess. Woody Harrelson, Ted Dansen, Kirstie Alley, Shelley Long, Rhea and Danny...

  134. I just can't believe that it could be "Cheers." For one thing, didn't they have a vary harmonious set, not a dysfunctional one? And a "Cheers" guess would have, what, Shelley Long sleeping with Ted Danson? And Rhea was sleeping around with Harrelson or Wendt or Grammer then, or Kirstie was? Also, while Rhea guested on "Taxi," I don't think Danny ever appeared on "Cheers."

    I don't have a better guess, but I just can't believe this one.

    (Plus, I STILL need a flowchart to understand the whole bloody thing.)

  135. *very, not vary

  136. Plus, a "Cheers" guess would have one of those guys sleeping with a tweener. I simply cannot imagine that, despite how sordid Enty would like for us to believe that H'wood is.

    For some reason, I'm thinking that this is A) a show from the free-spirited and heady '70s, and B) it had to have had a young cast, due to the tweener involvement. At least I hope so.

  137. Another thing that could make this blind more difficult to figure out, aside from the Tweener not necessarily being on the show, it doesn't say that she was a Tween while the future A-list actor was messing around with her. She may have been a former A-List Tween but of age by the time they were hooking up.

  138. i would say get real but i don't think it works http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212662/fullcredits#cast

  139. Another reason a C list former tweener wouldn't need money- yacht girl! Who are some of the suspected yacht girls?

  140. That blind was PAINFUL to read. I had to look at the comments to see if the guesses made it worth going back to try and decipher it. Nope. Do not have the brain power this morning.

    ReplyDelete
  141. @Margaux I did that and I still didn't know that hell was going on so based on what the other comments are I'm going with the 2 guys guess. This one gave me a migraine ughh

  142. Spin City had a lot of famous actors:

    Michael J Fox
    Charlie Sheen
    Heather Locklear
    Jennifer Esposito
    Connie Briton
    Alan Ruck
    Lana Parrilla (could be the tweener?)

    Hard to imagine Michael J Fox being a male whore though.

  143. Six Feet Under?

    Peter Krause
    Michael C. Hall
    Rachel Griffiths
    Lauren Ambrose

    Lots of other actors:
    illeana Douglas
    Justin Theroux

  144. i am going with Tweens, Teens and Peens. I can't remember who starred in it, but it seems to fit almost every blind item published.

    ReplyDelete
  145. it's not a sitcom but saturday night live was pretty wild in the early years.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Hope and Faith, Step by Step?

    ReplyDelete
  147. I thought of Hope and Faith too, but I don't think there's any one A-list on that show or Step by Step.

    ReplyDelete
  148. Is this show what they based the original Melrose Place off of? Damn. That's just nasty. Juicy but nasty!

    ReplyDelete
  149. no clue, but love dysfunction in Hwood!

    ReplyDelete
  150. Dawson's Creek had a bit of Fleetwood Mac in it. Some A-listers, too. I think Katy Holmes is rich by now, even with a pre-nup.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Everyone's going to be kicking themselves when this gets revealed( and i think it definitely WILL on NY's day)and it turns out to be soooo easy! haha.

    i don't think anyone has it yet but 2 guys guess is the best so far (loved that show!)

    ReplyDelete
  152. not sure it was brought up before, but from how i read the blind, the tweener was NOT on the show.. it says: "Prior to the shooting of the first season, this now A list actor (#1) was having sex regularly with an actress (#2) who was an A list tweener and is now a struggling, yet very rich C list actress"
    the sex with lead actress #3 then starts when the show starts! so i just inferred #2 was not in the show...
    other than that, I got nuthin

    ReplyDelete
  153. The OC? Struggling former teen actress being Mischa Barton.?

    ReplyDelete
  154. The OC... not a sitcom and I don't think anyone from that show is considered A-list.

    ReplyDelete
  155. It could be That 70's show, Ashton and Wilmer have both dated former tweeners, multiple ones actually. Between them, Mandy, Brit and Lin. Those boys got around, but is Ashton A-list? Mila is, I think.
