Subject: 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.
In reply to: CeeGee 's message, "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?" on 16:16:34 01/02/13 Wed

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 meant to say "but THE discussions" in general, not *your* discussions as if I was referring back to you DOS. Sorry if that was confusing. -- JJ Ronda--it's been a busy, stressful week, so I'm having trouble making sense. ;-), 20:47:58 01/04/13 Fri [1]
