Best Television Shows

I hate it when a celebrity gets into trouble and various writers trot out the old “_____ is cursed!” stories. As if various people, even if they were on the same show, can’t have bad things happen to them. I mean, I worked at a place once where my coworkers later had arrests, miscarriages, divorces, illnesses, and money problems, but I don’t go around saying “my God, that office was cursed!”

But that doesn’t stop the San Diego Reader saying that the cast of Family Ties is cursed, because Michael J. Fox has Parkinson’s, Brian Bonsall keeps getting arrested, Meredith Baxter battled cancer, and Justine Bateman…well, what, made a bad movie in the ’80s? I love how the writer glosses over the fact that Courteney Cox went on to star in a rather popular NBC sitcom in the’90s.

When a bunch of people from one TV show get into trouble or have some sort of misfortune, it’s not a “curse.” It’s called “life.”
