10 Actors Who Doom Every Show They Star In

A very funny gallery. All the usual suspects are here: Christian Slater, Jerry O'Connell, Tyler Labine and more.

I liked Slater's The Forgotten, a star can not carry a poorly written show for very long imo.

I couldn't get the gallery to work, but I would have said Alex O'Loughlin until Hawaii 5-0 was a big hit.

It's just a matter of time, sometimes.

What about Ted McGinley, the patron saint of "Jumped the Shark"?

Why is Ted cursed with that title?

I couldn't get to work either on my laptop, but was a totally different experience on my phone. I only recognized a couple names and one other person looked familiar. I guess I don't watch as much TV as I thought!

I think it's because it seemed like every show he went on got cancelled but that really isn't true. He was on Married With Children for several years before it ended. The shows didn't cancel because of him but maybe it just looked that way.

I liked him though. Very handsome back in the day and still is. Smiley Happy

I guess it's a famous title ... Ted appeared on Mad Men and addressed it here

That page took forever to load for me; maybe too many ads.

Had some trouble with the gallery didn't get past Jerry O'Connell but except for him and Christian Slater I had no clue who some of the others were. Then I saw what they were in they were not any shows I would watch in any shape or form. I must be showing my age.

I agree. I still have the last episode on my DVR.
