Subject: I just finished re-watching all ten seasons of JAG, it took a couple of months for me to complete but finished it today. I really do miss that show! One thing I thought of though when it was over is that DJE certainly has not come into any recurring tv series since. I wonder if he regrets ending his role as Harm? CB has certainly done better landing recurring series between Army Wives now filming season 7 and her Good Witch movies. What in the world happened to David?

These are just my thoughts - 1. choices made of what material they have chosen, CB seemed to have picked winners and DJE bombs,..2. Seems that Mrs DJE has had to star in most of his films and I bet that has put some off in using him......3. DJEs more money want, I am sure that CB has called for higher paychecks but she has become a worth wild investment where DJEs not so great choices has brought down what he is worth. again these are my opinions -- DOS, 22:17:03 01/02/13 Wed [1]

I said something to that effect on the other board and was blasted by Cindy. I agree with you. I hope he comes back so his fans don't forget him. -- April, 12:34:05 01/03/13 Thu [1]

he did make a couple of hopeful choices.The first series Close To Home should have been good for his career but the show lost its footing. CBs first series i forget the name of it -some sci fi thing was cancelled after her first ep. So some of it is more luck than choices - And you can't blame him for taking a part in a show with Annie Potts and Christian Chenowith - who wouldn't want to work with them? I just would like to see him in something that shows his serious side as well as his tender side - I loved the Harm eps with heart - like yeah Baby, Answered prayers, and in country. -- chris k, 12:56:40 01/03/13 Thu [1]

Agreed. Inside -- JJ Ronda, 00:02:36 01/04/13 Fri [1]
I agree that luck had a lot to do with it. He was cast in three good, major roles in three different shows that had promise, but were cancelled (Close to Home, Scoundrels, and GCB). I would say four shows, but very few of us ever got to see the pilot for Sixty Minute Man, so I don't know if it was any good or not. And don't forget his recurring role on one of the L&O's. It was cut short when GCB got picked up. Maybe he can appear on that show again? We hope?
I have to point out that he has done several movies that were very good. A quick look at imdb.com will show just how busy the man has been.
As for his cancelled shows, I have to say that we all know how quick the networks are to cancel good shows that don't get ratings through the roof on the first airing. Wonder how many old favorites would have been cancelled too soon in this day and age?

MASH would have been cancelled if the networks worked the same then as now. It stayed on becuase an executives wife liked it. The show took off in season two -- chris k, 01:08:57 01/04/13 Fri [1]

I guess my tastes are just different and I couldnt get into any of the new shows he was on, they all seemed forced by the cast to make them funny and they fell flat to me and after 1 ep went back to what I liked, I did give GCB a second chance but again after 15 minutes I had to turn the channel. As for movies again, none of them were all that great and the one Sci fi movie he did was awful. Now then CBs few movies I like the Good Witch, not into her Bermuda Triangle movie and love Army Wives. I am not saying that all of hers were winners either but I was captured by the ease of the cast -- DOS - who would like to see him on TV but I dont even like CSI NY to just see him, 08:49:50 01/04/13 Fri [1]

See, I have no interest whatsoever in watching Army Wives, even with CB in it. I have read a lot of the conversation about AW on this board, hoping that something would interest me and get me to watch it (similar to how you ladies got me started on Bones, Castle, and Chuck), but your discussions about AW just reaffirmed my belief that it wasn't the kind of show I would like. To each his own, I guess. -- JJ Ronda, 20:45:43 01/04/13 Fri [1]

I, too, would like to see DJE back on TV. I really couldn't get into GCB or Scoundrels, so to me, they weren't the best of TV. I know he's been in some movies made for Tv and several others, but there still does not seem to be the success enjoyed with JAG. It would seem that CB has found her niche with AW and The Good Witch movies along with several other movies. I guess I agree with DOS and April. -- jenks, 10:36:33 01/04/13 Fri [1]

I thought his acting was stellar in "The Man Who Lost Himself". He should have received an Emmy for that role. I also thought "The Rainbow Tribe" was very good. He has two or three more movies coming out in 2013, and I'm hopeful that they'll be well received. -- Lee, 11:05:06 01/04/13 Fri [1]

I would like to see him back in a series and do well. I think that he needs to stick with drama and not comedy as those seem to fail if the humor falls flat. I also hope he has a good couple of films to put him back on the market. -- DOS, 11:20:07 01/04/13 Fri [1]

I haven't cared that much for either of their choices. DJE was "okay" in Close To Home and the amnesia movie, but neither were of the caliber of JAG. I haven't liked any of his other shows/movies. CB's 1st & 2nd movie in the Good Witch series was cute, but then the series suffered from what kills all movie series, "beating the dead horse of initial success." I hate Army Wives, but then I hate most of the programming on "Lifetime for Whiney Women." I would still love to see the duo in the Kay Scarpetta--Benton Wesley roles. They would be perfect, since they... -- doc, 12:22:34 01/04/13 Fri [1]
... play "intellectuals" well & sizzle as a couple, which is what that series calls for!!!

I'd say you are hard to please LOL! I've really enjoyed all the Good Witch movies and I love the series Army Wives but that's my opinion anyway! I did like Close to Home too but the other ones (Scoundrels & GCB) I only tolerated because I wanted to see DJE in something! -- CeeGee, 18:31:19 01/04/13 Fri [1]

I agree about the Good Witch movies. Inside -- JJ Ronda, 20:57:48 01/04/13 Fri [1]
They were cute, fun, romantic, warm and fuzzy type movies and I enjoyed them, but I would probably never watch any of them again, not with so many other good old movies out there that I want to see. DJE also had a couple of cute, fun, romantic, family movies (Dad's Home, Truth Be Told) that were similar in style and just as good as the Good Witch movies, IMO. In fact, I'd say they were better, because I would consider watching those two movies again, but I probably would not consider watching any of the Good Witch movies again, even though I truly liked them. I can't really speak for Army Wives, because I haven't watched it, but I just can't see holding up the Good Witch movies as being *that* much better than what DJE has done. JMHO

doc, I think the roles of Kay and Benton would be great. Seems like they would really fill the bill. They have to get back to the beginning since Benton has now blown away in the wind at Hilton Head...so sad for Kay. Even Marino was touched enough to get really dresses properly. -- jenks, 08:38:14 01/05/13 Sat [1]

Hey Jenks, I haven't read the last 2 or books, but... -- doc, 12:07:15 01/05/13 Sat [1]
...Benton was supposed killed & his face found in freezer by Kay. I think the readers threw a fit, because a couple books later we learn he is in witness protection. They end up back together, but after that, everyone seems so unhappy, I kind of quit reading. I think Patricia Cornwell lost her drive to write, because her last few books have been weaker. I figure a producer could get rights to the books & then use writers to continue in the vein of the beginning 1/2 of the Scarpetta series. I think DJE & CB could really sell those roles!!!!

[> [> [> [>
Thanks for the correction, doc. I looked it up and it seems in Blow Fly, Benton reappeared. Glad to hear that. I haven't read all her books in order so am out on a limb here, but stll think your idea of DJE/CB playing the roles would be a great idea. -- jenks-who will make a list of the PC books I have read and try to catch up., 15:34:41 01/05/13 Sat [1]

DJE was perfect as Harm - he gave the character equal measures of swagger and heart. A true hero and a great guy. It was the perfect casting. (More Inside) -- The Chief, 22:56:03 01/04/13 Fri [1]
I watched "Holiday Affair" today (I usually watch during the holidays) and he was really good as Steve Mason - sexy, funny, drop-dead-gorgeous - and if Jodi had been "available", he would have shown much more assertive flirting and "girl-getting", a skill at which DJE excels ;-) He was also excellent in "Degree of Guilt". He does well as confident good guys in some form of military or law enforcement, a leadership role, and as a "lady killer". I think he should have taken more roles like that, even tho he might have been worried about "type-casting". Type casting worked well for many other classic Hollywood actors, and that is more DJE's style (classic movies).
[ Edit | View ]
[> [>
You're right, Harm was the perfect character for DJE. He plays the hero, good guy well. I would like him in any "well written" series in which he's the "good guy," out to save the "little guy," be it as a lawyer, doctor, military, etc. That's why I think he would be good playing Benton Wesley. He plays the intellectual roles well, especially when he's out to help/save society. He has a good sense of humor, and a little bit of comedy like he did in JAG was perfect, but with all comedy, he comes of as a goofy dork. -- doc, 12:16:31 01/05/13 Sat [1]

I like hero Harm - whether it's because he's sensitive and sweet or fighting bad guys - I actually enjoyed him in a hallmark movie where he pretended to be married to a psychollogist - hokey as all get out - but I liked it. I've watched a lot of what he's done and don't think most show his best side - he always looked so dorky on GCB -- chris k, 23:14:26 01/04/13 Fri [1]

IMHO "Close to Home" was perfect for DJE since Jag. CBS never gave it a chance. I too prefer him in a drama. I dont get it, he is such a good looking leading man type, a Cary Grant, Rock Hudson type gorgeous man. What a hunk!! He needs to be back on tv on a reg. basis. -- Jagcharmed2, 11:31:14 01/05/13 Sat [1]

Is everyone forgetting The Guard? He wasn't in it as much as I would have liked, but I did like his character. I liked the series, (it was filmed close to where I live), and was sad when it got cancelled. -- Cece, 07:19:36 01/06/13 Sun [1]

(I know I'll get slaughtered for this but here goes anyway.) I can no longer watch CB. I loved her so much as Mac and thought she was beautiful. But I just can not watch actors, particularly ones I really like, who have had too much work done. (inside) -- Cece...who does not think that age is ugly., 07:45:21 01/06/13 Sun [1]
Not just CB, a whole list of lovely faces that would have still been lovely had they been allowed to age. The lifted brows giving a surprised look, the too thin nose jobs, the cheek implants, the too tight jowel lift, the botoxed foreheads, and collagen lips. What are these actors going to look like as they age? On the bright side, a whole bunch of British and American actresses are starting to speak out against it, and are letting themselves go au naturelle. A bit of not so obvious work I'm okay with.
I know in the Hollywood youth culture, it's hard for mature actresses to get work, but they still are not going to get work looking so fake, and still not young. I don't mind corrective surgery or a bit of subtle work, where it doesn't look obvious. Look at all the working actresses who I think are fabulous: Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, etc. Check out this article Click here. I know that some Hollywood actresses have joined this group.
CB fans, don't bother yelling at me. If I hadn't liked her so much, I wouldn't care. imo, she would have aged beautifully without doing anything.

I will agree too, she has had too much done but I still like her acting. But if they were to be in a show again, I would really like her to not have so many skeletons in her closet . -- DOS, 14:14:29 01/07/13 Mon [1]

I really like her acting too but I highly doubt anyone will put the two of them together for another show cause everyone will always think of them as Harm & Mac. I don't know of any great tv couples that got paired together again on a different show. I could be wrong but I can't think of any off hand! -- CeeGee, 21:21:11 01/07/13 Mon [1]

I own all 10 seasons of JAG and watch it frequently when there is nothing on TV that I am interested in. I would love it if DJE was brought back with a JAG reunion movie or maybe with DJE and CB making a guest appearance on NCIS. I think they would be a great couple on a detective series similar to "Hart to Hart" with Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers. Does anyone agree with me? I love any show with David James Elliott and I am praying that DPB will make amends with him. David was JAG! He gave his all to that show for 10 years! He deserves to be treated better and not forgotten! -- Janice Watson, 07:52:56 01/06/13 Sun [1]

I didn't really enjoy any of DJE's projects after Jag. I love him best in JAG and the Untouchables. CB on the other hand has the jackpot. I love the Good witch and Hallmark in general because its impt.to have family friendly and heartwarming shows in today's messed up tragic stuff we always see on tv or the news.Love AW but love the older seasons. If only DJE and CB would work together again since their chemistry was rare and special. -- T2, 14:27:46 01/07/13 Mon [1]

I'll get blasted for this, but I think DJE is difficult to work with and that is one of the reasons he finds it hard to get good roles. I've met him and he was very pleasant, but I got an over all feeling of very large EGO!! -- Cathy F., 11:28:56 01/08/13 Tue [1]
[ Edit | View ]

I'm going to doubt that, Cathy F. I think one of the reasons he had trouble after JAG was 1) Harm was a tough act to follow; 2) Harm was a good military guy. Only Bad military guys are allowed in Liberal Hollywood; and 3) I suspect a "whisper" campaign was conducted by DPB and his minions. Talk about **EGO**. DJE's pales in comparison. -- The Chief, 13:11:41 01/08/13 Tue [1]

That was a bit of a blanket statement, and I know there are many in the industry that don't have that problem, but I do think it's an industry and environment where it can be hard not to fall a bit too much in love with yourself. -- Dee, 07:59:38 01/09/13 Wed [1]

I also would love to see DJE in something that would highlight his subtle talents and extraordinary dapper looks. Hart to hart, MacMillian and Wife, even something like Dempsey and Makepeace or something that would focus on HIM, like a Morse type of show. Mainly, something where I could drool over him the whole show -- lol! I also think it would be a bad idea to have his wife involved. It's a buzzkill, even though I'm sure she's a wonderful lady. Let the man shine on his own! Re: CB -- I think she's a decent actress and seems like a great person, but she was SO beautiful!!! inside -- mj, 15:06:16 01/14/13 Mon [1]
I would love to see her true natural beauty come back! And, THEN, see her pair up with an equally older, but naturally gorgeous mature DJE!
