A well known feud was on Moonlighting between Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd. Which is crazy because the chemistry and sexual tension on screen was one of the best.
My husband worked with many famous people as an audio tech. He says Carroll O'Connor was far and away the most professional person he ever encountered. Miking him was a breeze and the first take was perfect.
Even though Vivian Vance and William Frawley didn’t get along (which, from what I’ve read, escalated into hatred), they never showed that vitriol on air. To me, that’s one of the marks of a great actor.
a lot of people don’t realize that Vivian was actually the same age as Lucy. They did her make up so that she looked older. She was actually a lot younger than fraeley so her comment kind of made sense to her.
Actually, Barbara Eden did work with Larry Hagman again, several years after "I Dream Of Jeannie." In one of the later seasons of Dallas, she played a conniving business woman, who once had a romantic relationship with JR, & returned to seek revenge on him, for something that happened many years earlier.
I do recall seeing them together over many years doing interviews together. Whatever tension that was going on during the shows production appears to have ended afterwards. I always got the impression they became good friends.
I was a waitress and had several jobs in the 80’s in Kansas City in two different restaurants. I remember serving Larry Hagman in both places. His group of actor friends would show up after the kitchen closed and expect full meals, stay forever and not tip much.
Narcissists are [self-entitled creeps], invariably. Hollywood is composed of 99.8% narcissists, from actors on up. You were treated to a very tiny free sample. Lucky you.
Did you know that "Robot" from Lost in Space and "Robby the Robot" from Forbidden Planet were mortal enemies? Their feud led to a spectacular fight on an episode of Lost in Space. They weren't acting, they were really shooting lightning bolts at each other! Oh my, I think I made that all up, my bad. 🤷♂ 😆
It's interesting to learn that Larry Hagman behaved the way he did behind the scenes of I Dream of Jeannie. He was always so straight-laced on the series. TY for sharing this. God Bless You & stay safe.
I've seen other articles/videos about this situation. I think a lot of it can be attributed to Larry Hagman being a raging alcoholic (he eventually needed a liver transplant). He was more 'decent' after he got sober.
He was also a huge pothead along with being a drunk. He had weird flag parades at his house when he had guests over(there are pics) and was notorious for cheating on his wife. He was basically JR with a sunnier disposition in real life.
Okay, we need to fix some facts here. Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman didn't hate each other. It's true that Larry Hagman was at times emotionally unstable while filming I Dream of Jeannie and had disagreements with the crew. But the two still shared a cordial relationship; Eden was supportive of Hagman when he had his emotional episodes. Just because he had occasional mental breakdowns doesn't mean he didn't get along with his co-stars. Eden, Hagman, and Daily remained good friends until their respective deaths in 2012 and 2018.
Then there were actors like Alan Alda and Larry Linville on Mash who's characters absolutely hated each other, but were good friends. Hard to imagine those two being friends.
Someone said differently that Larry Linville hated Alan Alda which is odd. Linville was known to be get along with the cast and Alda remembered Linville fondly after his passing. Gary Burghoff had a not so great rep on set. He said Alan and him were polar opposites.
@@harperstacey9604 I was living down in the Florida keys in the late early 90s. Gary burghoff was living down there at that time as well. I remember he had a reputation for being a real dick. He would get mad when Taurus recognized him and came to him for his autograph, but then would go and actively seek tourists to give his autograph and would get offended when they didn't recognize him
@@christopherbibber964 I remember when Gary burghoff left the show to spend more time with his family and his wife eventually divorced him. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
It is /was essent. human nature to hate Linville's character's guts and cheer Alda on all the time. Linville's way over-the-top delivery of a character that's mentally stuck at the age of 10 automatically repulses one who values any adult dignity.
He hated the show, the producer was manically protective of the puppet. The actress that played the mom said on their very last day of filming he quietly gathered his things from his dressing room and left without saying a word.
Behind the scenes, Max Wright (Willy Tanner) legit VIOLENTLY ATTACKED the Alf puppet (which was voiced and operated by Paul Fusco, the producer and creator of ALF) during the filming of season 4 of ALF. Yes, he legit VIOLENTLY ATTACKED the puppet (granted, Paul Fusco wasn't operating the puppet during the attack... but Max Wright wanted to destroy the ALF puppet and he attacked it and some of the filming crew had to stop him), that's how extremely angry Max Wright was during the filming of season four. If you watch certain episodes of season 4 of ALF, you will notice that Willy is a lot more aggravated towards ALF than he was in the previous seasons. The reason for that is the aggravation he is showing during season 4 is NOT acting. By around mid season 4, the show introduced Neal Tanner (Willy's younger brother, played by actor Jim J. Bullock). If you notice, ALF starts hanging out more and more with Neal during certain season 4 episodes. The reason for that is that if ALF had continued into season 5 (which didn't happen, but they thought they were coming back for a fifth season) there is an extremely high chance the show would have phased out and eliminated Willy (because Paul Fusco and several of the other actors had enough of Max Wright's bad attitude on set, which was becoming a major concern. He probably would have attacked a lot more than just the puppet if the show had gone into a season 5) and there was a chance they were going to have Neal come to live in the house with the rest of the family and help out the family due to Willy's mysterious absence or possibly split time between ALF hanging out with Neal in his apartment and ALF hanging out with the mom (Kate), the daughter (Lynn) and the son (Brian) in the Tanner's home.
I was expecting a mention about the feud between Ed O’Neill and Amanda Bearse on Married With Children. Their bickering on the show reflected their real-life attitudes with each other. Ed O’Neill once told her that all he had to do was say the word and she was off the show.
I saw an interview where he said they got along, despite their differences and occasional bickering. He admitted he liked to stir her up, and at one point she said something he took as a slight, did his usual stirring, and she cut off all contact with him.
Tina Louise was peeved because the role was sold to her as a show about a stranded Hollywood star and some other people, but when she got there she was an ensemble piece.
That's what I heard also. I know a lot of people who felt that her performance was by far superior to everyone else. Even though Jim Bacchus and Natalie Schaefer were seasoned actors with a great body of work.
Larry Hagman was incredibly bitter about the fact that he received nothing when I Dream of Jeannie went into syndication. When it came time to renegotiate his contract as "J.R." in Dallas in 1980 he held out for not only a large increase in salary but also a significant piece of any syndication profits. The timing for his demands was perfect as that summer was the year when everyone was caught up in the "Who shot J.R." craze. Lorimar Productions tried to get another actor to take over Hagman's role (including auditioning Robert Conrad) but the test audiences said they wouldn't accept anyone else in the role than Hagman so they gave in to his demands
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Yes, a lot of actors got screwed on their shows reruns in that time, the contracts were written differently back then. Actors being hungry for work signed them.
If David Jacobs replaced Hagman, then Donna Reed would never have gotten the chance to play Miss Ellie, because it would have been cancelled before BBG could leave the first time.
Morehead and York had worked together before "Bewitched," and were friends. Also, I think that Morehead resented the fact that the producers implied that York was a drug addict. When, in fact, he had a chronic medical condition
I had heard of a couple of these... Aunt Bea on Andy Griffith was one that I was very well aware of. Apparently she really didn't like Andy at all and was always upset and felt that she should have had a better part. I read an article that said she could be very difficult on set.
Before Andy Griffith, Aunt Bea Was on an episode of the original lone ranger with Clayton Moore. She played a outlaw middle-age lady who actually gets into a fight with Tonto (Jay Silverheels). It’s very funny to see her trying to wrestle with Jay.
I heard that later that Frances Bevier turned into a disturbed cat lady with dozens of cats and wouldn't even let Andy and Don Knotts into her home when they tried to visit her.
I read about the same thing somewhere. Makes an ordinary adult want to say to the Aunt Bea actress: "If you don't like the work, pick up yer shovel & move on up the road in search of something else, or else eat your Own shit sandwich; don't pass it around."
Gonzo and Scooter from _The Muppet Show_ were sworn enemies when offscreen. Intense mutual loathing. That is, if what Lou Zealand said in his tell-all autobiography is true, and I don't tend to doubt the word of a guy who can make fish act like boomerangs.
Bea Arthur was a person was a loner and introvert and Betty was outgoing and often talked to the audience between takes, it was a difference in personality
Still makes me shake my head Tina Louise thought Ginger should be the star of a show literally named after another character. Especiallly since Ginger wasn't even in the pilot episode. She sure didn't let her dislike stop her from banking the paychecks, though. It must not have been so horrible since she kept coming back. A bit like Alec Guiness and his publicized hatred for Star Wars. Still took the money, and still appeared in the sequels.
Hey, I guess you've never watched Leave it to Beaver or. the Andy Griffith show. Now I might be wrong but Don Knotts didn't play the title role but ask anyone who was more the star of the show. You also forget that when they pitch shows to people they might not always tell the truth. Next time you Watch Leave it to Beaver see whose name is first. (Hint, It ain't Beaver's LOL)
@@TheMidnightBell07 Honestly, never see LITB, not my thing. And maybe I am just unusual, but no, I think of TAGS, I tgink of Sheriff Andy. He calmly takes care of ensuring order. Deputy Fife bounces off a few walls, and occasionally a ceiling, but he backs up the Sheriff and his decisions. Yeah, Knotts and his character got to be zany and funny, and he got the better lines. But I honestly don't understand why you say Barney Fife was the lead character. Andy was clearly the honcho and Barney the follower.
@@MGower4465 Hey, how do you know unless you've seen it? The reason why I say it is because Andy said it. The lines Barney is known for were supposed to go to Andy but Andy said Don was funnier. The show wasn't nearly as good when Don left. The kicker is when people mention their favorite episode it's never one with just Andy in it or Andy's reaction. (LITB) for the folks that don't know what the initials stand for happens to be Leave It To Beaver. Sometimes I forget because I write so many posts so I like to have references. You aren't unusual you just have different tastes in what you like. I'm an eclectic but there are things I can't wrap myself around like. Petticoat Junction. (I've tried but no LOL) I love Kojak and use to love the Rockford files but I can't watch it now. I can watch Dragnet over and over and over but not one whole episode of Walker Texas Ranger. I watched Becker and fell in love with it but once I saw all the episodes I can't rewatch it. I love Ted Danson and watched Cheers to death but now I can't watch that anymore either. I Can watch Star Trek and the Twilight zone all day. Now that's weird. LOL
Tina Louise did not want to appear in the subsequent Gilligan's Island movies because the producer, Sherwood Schwartz, terminated the series because he was offered a lucrative syndication deal, which he did not share with any of the actors. Schwartz deserves more fan ire than Tina. Dawn Wells had nothing bad to say about Tina. I think Schwartz is the source of much false information about the cast.
I heard that when she was "sold" her part on the show, her manager told her that she would be the star of the show. He lied, of course. She hung in there out of professionalism. Also, Nancy Schafer ("Lovey") didn't want to do it. But her agent or somebody said it would only last one season, and he would use the time to get other roles for her. Not quite.
I think after Suzanne Summers left, I think the Series lasted for another I think 3 or 4 more Seasons after she left. John Ritten was the Star of the Show and a Comic Genius on the show.
I think Terri and Mr Furlhey were funnier than Chrissy. And Larry got more roles when she left too. So my favorite seasons are (in no order) 2,4,6-8. Ropers were great. But when Furhley came in, the characters like Dr Prescott, Jeffrey Tambors characters, and more Mr Angelino and Felipe came in.
I thought the show was great after Suzann left. Terri was fine and Cindy was decent as well. They ruined the Chrissy character by making her so ditsy and girl like. Teri was a breath of fresh air.
There were several UK TV shows that wound up becoming popular shows in the US. “Sanford and Son” was originally a UK show called “Steptoe and Son” and of course “The Office”
You forgot Joan Collins and John Forsythe in Dynasty. Both have later admitted they could not get along especially during the filming, they were always a hostile tension between them, and very often they wouldn't speak to each other off set. Joan has even said in an interview that large part of the Dynasty cast did not really make her feel welcome and wanted, but the open and real fights behind the scenes had been taken among these 2
The Gilligan's Island theme song began with 🎶 With Gilligan the Skipper too the Millionaire and his wife the movie star. the Professor an Mary Ann 🎶 were added the 2nd season
At the express demand of Bob Denver, who objected to them being left out. According to Russell Johnson, who played the professor, Dawn Wells (Mary Ann) got most fan mail, even more than Gilligan. With the exception of Bob Denver and Tina Louise, the rest of the cast basically acted themselves, which despite the most implausible scripts, made the TV show work. Tina Louise was actually a fine actress, she hated being on the show but you’d never know. Bob Denver, like a lot of comedians, was apparently at times a very serious guy, you’d never know this by watching the show, either.
On Star Trek set in the 1960s William Shatner had rights to give permission for onset photography. Leonard Nimoy was being photographed for an article on Spock, his character. WS found out and had the photographer removed and the photos supressed. It didn’t further WS’ career to have a rival get publicity. George Takei was bitter about WS. I forget the reason. He gave a scathing speech at WS’ roast. (By the way, a very funny roast)
it's surprises me that you mentioned Bea Arthur and Betty White and didn't mention Bea Arthur and Rue McClanahan. They worked together on both Maude and Golden Girls. While I'm not sure that they hated each other, I sure that they weren't exactly friends. After Bea's death, Rue appeared on a local radio show in St. Louis. When the host offered his condolences on the loss of her friend, she became angry said, "We weren't friends", he responded by saying well you were at least show business friends." She got even angrier and said, "We were at best show businesses acquaintances."
That’s not that surprising. I adored Rue on the Golden Girls as Blanche, but none of us is perfect. Rue was married five times and separated from her last husband in 2009 when she became sick. He still loved her, but she did not want to be a burden so she divorced him before she died. Also, much of Bea’s not liking Betty came from Rue, especially after Bea died in 2008.
Hey, Rue was dying about the time she made that interview and had rejected her own husband that she loved by then because she didn't want him to watch her die. It hurt her when Bea died and they were very close in real life.
@Karl with a K Bea like Estelle was Jewish. Dorothy and Sophia were Catholic. Estelle would often complain to the writers that she wished that Sophia had been identified as Jewish. She knew what a Jew was. She wasn’t as comfortable playing an Italian Catholic, actually from Sicily.
I had heard about all of the actors/actresses disagreements except Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman. That one was a surprise to me. I had heard about some Hagman problems on Dallas though.
I think including those two was a big stretch. Hagman may have had personal problems, but that doesn’t mean he and Barbara Eden hated each other. They appeared together many times after the show concluded and they got along quite well.
@@finster1968 Thank you for your input. Like I would have never thought it was true. But being actors, they know how to put on their character faces and not show their true feeling on screen!
I bought the Vudu version of Gilligan's Island. In an interview I saw that Bob Denver had in his contract that he could have his name mentioned at any point, and he told the producers that he wanted to be last in order for them to change it (after the first season) since Dawn Wells and Russell Johnson weren't mentioned. They compromised with "the professor and Mary Ann" instead of "and the rest."
I was always a fan of Bob Denver after that. Apparently he argued long, and loud for the Professor and Mary Ann (Russell Johnson & Dawn Wells) to be included in opening credits song. Russell Johnson wrote a very readable book on his time on Gilligan’s Island. He even included a cartoon sending up his being the professor, that went something like this: Professor relaxing in a hammock thinks º º º (On a tropical island with two beautiful young single women, and those simpletons think I can’t fix a hole in a boat !). He was a class act, too.
@@FactsVerse I have a few, but I have to say.. The Andy Griffith Show.. Tbh, sometimes I'm reluctant to watch certain things about these shows, because I'm afraid that it might alter my perception of the show & the way I see the show or some of the characters... If that makes any sense? Not sure if I'm explaining myself correctly? For example, how aunt b was kinda mean in real life towards her co-workers & then seeing her persona in the show..
After learning more about the Suzanne Somers debacle, I think she was really treated unfairly. Women have always been paid less than men, that goes without saying. But John Ritter earned FIVE TIMES what she and Joyce DeWitt earned, and they had just as much screen time as he did. Somers was also the one on camera in a bathing suit each week (in the opening credits), and she did a lot of the promotional work and magazine covers and so on. Her co-stars should have backed her up and she and DeWitt should have banned together, and Ritter should have ALSO said something, the way the six-member cast of Friends later did. Instead she was fired.
John Ritter may have been the star when the show began but Suzanne Somers obviously became integral to the show since it flopped when she left. They should’ve paid her the same as the male star. End of story.
I'm not surprised the actors didn't get along when the carma was off it helped the TV show that they were able to work together that didn't mean they had to be bffs at our job we have the same attitude I'll get along with my co workers but once I clock out time to get away from them 😁
@@clinthowe7629 Bea was a sweetheart. She left a ton of money to charity when she passed. Rue got along with her great, on both Maude and Golden Girls. But Bea and Betty had very different styles of working. Bea came from the stage and liked to have everything rehearsed to perfection. Betty came from television and was much more open to improvisation. She’d happily go off script, which drove Bea nuts. But they didn’t hate each other - they both greatly admired each other’s work and were so grateful to be on such a well-written show.
Bea Arthur's beef was that the jokes written for the other ladies were based on their character's traits, but the jokes written for Dorothy were based on Bea's physical appearance, her looks and especially her height. She felt targeted by the writers. The producer wasn't a fan of her iconic femenist character Maude. That was one of the reasons she left.
Swearing and swinging an axe when guests from 'The Flying Nun' set came over... I did not have a high opinion of Larry Hagman before this discovery. Now - he's a legend.
I knew about some of these. Heard about Frances Bavier in the 1960s, and the Vivian Vance-William Frawley feud is legendary. BTW, Frawley's name misspelled at 5:14.
Let's not forget a few here. *Sanford and Son in the 1970's. Demond Wilson and the late Nathaniel Taylor didn't get along off screen. *CHiPs in the late 1970's/early 1980's. Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada didn't get along off screen. Larry left after 5 seasons. *Moesha in the late 1990's. Brandy Norwood and Countess Vaughn were always constantly fighting off screen. Countess left in 1999 for a spin off The Parkers. *Saved By The Bell in the late 1980's/early 1990's, the late Dustin Diamond didn't get along with any of the cast. All due to age difference. Went their separate ways in 1993. Left out of the reunions. Not part of the reboot in 2020. Dustin passed away in 2021 at age 44. Have a nice day/night.
From Wikipedia In early January 2021, Diamond was diagnosed with extensive stage four small cell carcinoma of the lungs.[41] He completed one round of chemotherapy in Cape Coral, Florida,[42] but died from the disease on February 1, 2021, at age 44.[43][44] Google Search Dustin Diamond for any information. Have a nice day/night.
Barbara Eden said after finishing "I Dream of Jeannie" that she would work with Larry Hagman again. I believe she held true to her word, working with Hagman on an episode of "Dallas". I think Eden played a character who bought Ewing Oil out from under Hagman's J. R. and fired J. R. from the company.
Get Smart was another sitcom that ended because of the wedding of Max and 99, including 99's giving birth to twins, even though they only made one other appearance before the show was canceled in 1970.
Marriages and pregnancies are the biggest killers of tv shows. Moonlighting was an 80's version of a pregnancy ruining a great show. Cybill should've kept her real-life pregnancy hidden, and the writers should've never been allowed to put it in.
That was the best comedy ever outside of the Carole Burnett show. but I did not like them getting married. Get Smart was stupidly hilarious. Often overlooked on that show was the character Laramie. yeah I though Max and 99 were stupid until Laramie came around! Hilarious. Most of these shows only ran for 30 minutes until more commercial time was introduced. That was when I stopped watching TV I could never understand stupid commercials and have never purchased so much as a toothpick based upon them. Just goes to show how stupid John Q really is.
@@leecowell8165 That's Larrabee. Robert Karvelas was the real life cousin of Don Adams. Makes you wonder who was dumber than the other? Anyway, Don Adams made it work.
Wow you left out Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams on camera best friends off camera they couldn't stand each other. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis did get along.

Hey, Larry and Barbara were and still are friends. Larry didn't like not making the money he should have and this is the first I've heard of him being unprofessional. He was very quiet and a devoted husband in real life.
@@Karla_Marie Hey, I don't know about you but I don't stop calling people I love friends just because they aren't on earth anymore. That's just me though.
The irony is, audiences absolutely believed that Vivian Vance's character would be married to such an "old man." Clearly she was delusional about her looks and how old she looked in front of the camera.
@Karl with a K No, back then standards were different. A time before America became disgustingly obsessed with physical appearances. It was simple... Life was (and still is) brutally hard. No one was expected to go at it alone. You got married, your spouse made your life easier. You made their life easier. And you both enjoyed companionship. The decades before man-despising Feminism meant if you were a responsible guy with a job, you could find a wife, with only a bit of effort. That's just how it was back then. And yeah, it was pretty common for women to marry guys a bit older than them. So, once again, no clue why Vivian Vance thought her character being married to Fred would seem unrealistic.
@@sludge8506 oh I almost forgot the sitcom baby I'm back. He probably didn't get along with the costars on there either. I seen him do some off screen interviews and the way he talked he does comes off as a hole. That's why I'm surprised his name wasn't brought up on here
It shouldn't surprise anyone as actors,talented or not, are just people like everyone else. Heck, how many people have family members they don't get along with?
Um, you might want to change the chiron that accompanies the intro to the I Love Lucy feud. You misspelled William Frawley's name by adding an "r" (Frawlery).
I guess it depends on which source you consult. This source says that Will Smith and Janet Hubert didn't get along, but another documentary claims that she left because of a contract dispute.
@@FactsVerse two of my favorites are the one with George Clooney as a rookie police detective whose senior partner falls for Dorothy. It would be kind of cozy having a police duo investigating the couple next door for smuggling. I didn’t like George’s character getting shot, but thankfully he was ok. The second is the Maltese Falcon Club during the final season where Blanche invites the other trio to a Murder Mystery Weekend where Blanche gets accused of murdering their host.
For me the surprise was Golden Girls. Human nature and psychology always bring lessons. The difficulty is that the exam and the lesson come at the same time!
In continuing, I couldn't how this show could be funny. Even though i was a kid , I could easily see that Jeanie bully and abuse her magic to intimidate her master thru out the show, Despite all he went thru by her , he still loved her. Year later when the reunion special came out, i wasn't at all suprised that Hagman didn't reprise his role of Nelson. He was then riding high as J. R. on Dallas.
When Larry Hagman went out to dinner with Mary Martin, he got upstaged by Mary Martin. He wasn't angry that JR was not received as warmly as Nellie Forbush.
That’s not true the Tina Louise refused to be in Gilligans island reunions, you’re talking about the TV MOVIE reunions. But on television talk shows there’s at least one reunion where she participated I believe it was the short-lived Pat Sajak show
I posted at at least two times Tina participated in interviews. She decided not to appear in the tv reunion movies for valid reasons. I missed her, but it was her choice to run her career the way she wanted to run it.
@@robertgold3868 That Ross Shafer hosted show was the only reunion that included all the original cast members. Shortly after that Jim Backus, Natalie Shafer, and Alan Hale Jr.all passed away

Hey, The cast loved Caroll and he them but Norman Lear was the boss and he wanted a bigot and Carrol wanted a man that could make changes in his life. Carrol won.
Why do people act surprised by this? Not every actor gets along or likes each other. Do each of you like every person you work with at your job? I certainly don't but I can still work with them to complete a project.
I appreciate the effort it takes to make these videos, but you did get a couple of important facts wrong. The ratings for Three's Company absolutely did not plummet after Suzanne Sommers left. The ratings improved in season six and stayed stable in season seven. Ratings only dropped in the final season. Also, a bit misleading to say that Betty White was the problem on Golden Girls. Bea Arthur, for all her comedic talent, couldn't get along with Rue or Estelle, either.
I am not surprised at the feuds, but more amazed Barbara Eden was still willing to work with Larry Hagman in future after having to deal with him that long, especially when you have drugs and alcohol in the mix. Not uncommon for Hollywood then or now of course, but usually when its brought on set it doesn't end well for the actor in question and usually the rest of the cast and crew will be fairly adamant about NOT working with said person again.
I've seen every episode of I Love Lucy and I don't believe in any one of those episodes that Fred and Ethel were in that they ever kissed each other how much they hated each other because he would never kiss her
I read Vivian Vance considered herself more glamorous and didn't like that they paired her with Frawley who was 22 years older, or that she was supposed to look somewhat frumpy on I Love Lucy. I always thought they looked perfect together.
Hey, a couple of times they did kiss but neither of them like the other. Vivian was bitter and William was mean. Lucy pulled the strings. She wanted Ethel to be older, heavier and have a husband that was less attractive. Desi liked Ethel as a friend and that kind of irked Lucy. The pairing of Fred with Ethel would have looked mismatched if Lucy hadn't insisted on Vivian gaining weight and dressing down. The one episode where they had Vivian dress up she outshined Lucy. They never had another one like it on that show. Vivian was in fact younger than Lucy. They claimed Ethel and Fred were married 25 years which would have made her about 17 and Fred 39 LOL. Actually, I think people change information on ancestry (in fact I know they do) Vivian at one point was younger than Lucy but now it says that Lucy was younger. I mean I heard a while back that that Lucy was actually older than Vivian. (From other people)
Wasn't really a "feud" per se between Larry Hagman and Barbara Eden. Hagman's antics may have been hard to cope with, but were not directed at Barbara.
I may add Larry Wilcox (CHiPs) leaving the series since he didn't get along with Erik Estrada (mainly due to the fact Estrada's character - "Ponch" - was given more space)
Can't blame Tina Louise. She was lied to by her agent (he told her she was the star of the show), and she signed up. She was pissed as hell, but did the show like a trooper. And it did ruin her movie career just as she feared.
I admired her as a teenager but I actually believe she was a money hungry actress. She didn't reappear in the movies after? At least the others did. That says alot
I never thought that Larry Hagman and Barbara Eden didn't get along. There always seemed to be a chemistry there. Melissa Sue Anderson and Melissa Gilbert from "Little House on the Prairie" evidently didn't get along.
The Ropers did not fail originally. Its first season was a hit. Then in season 2 the day and time it aired kept changing, making it hard to find. That's not failing, that's sabotage
Ha, if Carol O'Connor rewrote any script from All in the Family, he should have been rewarded an Emmy. That man WAS the show; an honest bigot for all the world to see. Even black people 'loved' Archie, not because of what Archie said or believed, but rather the fact that his terrible bigotry was honest and on display for everyone to see and learn-from.
So many of these people, and not just the stars of the show, make as much or more a show than the rest of us do all year. I don't see why they have to act like children.
