> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Three Men and a Baby was a huge hit. Not sure it belongs on this list.) Yes, Selleck has a number of film credits to his name,and some have been quite successful. So, let’s try this then: Unsuccessful movie vehicles for TV stars 1. Leonard Part 6 (Bill Cosby) 2. Troop Beverly Hills (Shelley Long) 3. Welcome to Mooseport (Ray Romano) 4. The Lifeguard (Kristen Bell) 5. Fools Rush In (Matthew Perry) 6. Down Periscope (Kelsey Grammer) 7. Drive Me Crazy (Melissa Joan Hart) 8. Kiss of Death (David Caruso) 9. Showgirls (Elizabeth Berkley) 10. The Switch (Jennifer Aniston) Melissa Joan Hart never could quite make it in film. She did (and continues to do) very well in TV, doing made-for-TV movies and guesting on various shows after “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” but her film career never took off, and she only has a handful of theatrical films to her name. **EH** , looks like you completed this one. Care to suggest the next category? ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Three Men and a Baby was a huge hit. Not sure it belongs on this list. I think I get what BB was going for, though; in spite of the film being a huge hit, it didn’t project Selleck into a film career. He’s still a TV actor. Ted Danson has had a more successful film career than Selleck, albeit, Danson’s film credits have been mostly in art house-type films.
