The greatest show that never made it has been gone for a long time, but it looks like the cast is being recognized for its excellence. Two members of the principle cast are in new series this fall that are both getting critical praise. Others are already in hit shows. Still others are making a living in the business.
Linda Cardellini … Lindsay Weir
She has been fairly successful, I’d say. She is a regular on ER and has starred as Velma in the Scoobie Doo films. Plus, if you look at her photos on her IMDB page, one of the photos in the Events section is very amusing.
**John Francis Daley … Sam Weir **
Sam is back, baby. He is in a promising series (with a bad time slot) on Fox called Kitchen Confidential. I was worried about JFD. I figured his career may be over. I hope his show makes it, as it looks really good.
James Franco … Daniel Desario
He’s doing the Spiderman movies, playing Harry Osborne. He was also in the Great Raid. I could see him being a guy who gets a script after SEVERAL actors have passed on it.
Samm Levine … Neal Schweiber
He’s been in a lot of stuff. I see him pop up in Sitcoms (That 70’s Show, Just Shoot Me) and movies (Not Another Teen Movie) all the time. To me, he is a character actor at best.
**Seth Rogen … Ken Miller **
Rogen has seemingly hitched his wagon to Freaks creator Judd Apatow’s star. Not only did he appear in Apatow’s other unfairly cancelled series, Undeclared, he also appeared in the new hit film, The Forty Year Old Virgin.
**Jason Segel … Nick Andopolis **
The second cast member to appear in a sitcom this fall, Segal appears in sure fire hit, How I Met Your Mother. Sadly, this show appears in the same timeslot as Daley’s Kitchen Confidential. So not only will there be a Buffy The Vampire head to head matchup on the show, there will also be a F&G conflict.
**Martin Starr … Bill Haverchuck **
Has this poor guy, the best member of the cast, done anything? Hemay be hurting. Let’s all send him $80.
**Becky Ann Baker … Jean Weir **
I haven’t seen her since.
**Joe Flaherty … Harold Weir **
He was already successful BEFORE F&G. I assume he will continue to find work. JACKASS!
**Busy Philipps … Kim Kelly **
Not sure I’ve seen her in anything either.
Anyone else seen these guys in anything? What about the other cast members?
I seem to remember seeing the guidance counselor in a hilarious episode of Frasier.
.), she’s having bra issues, or she’s wearing those gel implants that go in the bra rather that in the boob.
