Ungrateful

Prepare for my most worldly post yet. It even beats Celebrity Crushes.  The topic? Ungrateful celebrities. They all have something in common - TV shows that made them famous. I'd start out with Marcia Brady talking about the Brady Bunch ruining her life, but I don't ever watch that show so I don't care three straws about her. Also, if we were talking about Movie sagas I would put Harry Potterers on the grateful list, Twilighters on the un-grateful list, and High School Musicees would probably be half and half. But we're not talking about movies, we're talking about TV shows. So here it goes....

Dustin Diamond aka Screech. Every article I read about him, wait let me re-start that sentence...BOTH articles I've read about him refer to him as the lovable nerd. What? How is he lovable? I think annoying is a little more accurate. Well apparently Saved by the Bell ruined his career. How did he get his vengeance?  Writing a tell-all book about the cast and the show and stabbing everyone in the back. And to think he was selling friendship bracelets...that's it - I'm getting a buddy band instead.

The good news is if there is EVER a Saved by the Bell Reunion (I'm talking to you Jimmy Fallon - you can still pull it off?) then Screech won't be invited. He wasn't invited to be on the cover for People magazine when they did a Saved by the Bell Reunion and he won't be invited to the actual reunion. Which will happen someday? Hopefully?

Joe Lando or Sully from Dr Quinn was ungrateful.  During Season 5 of filming he was upset with the show so he said he wasn't coming back. Season 5 ended with him getting in a cliff accident. Nobody knew if he was going to live. Luckily he turned grateful again and came back on the show. So technically he isn't ungrateful, he actually doesn't compare with these other stars at all. I just felt like he should be on the blog.

So it's Tangent Time! I'd like to make a shout out to Dr Quinn. It's awesome! Thanks to ConnieNick for uploading Season 1 to YouTube. Pretty sure that's illegal, but insp is showing episodes from Season 4 and I needed to start at the beginning. I wanted to post the Dr Quinn theme song, but all they have on YouTube is the one with the weird Colleen. So here's an episode:  Dr Quinn. Skip to 4:51 for the Theme song and 5:17 for the good part. Seriously Thor and his hammer have nothing on this guy and his ax.  End of tangent.

Miley Cyrus. We all know she got her start from Hannah Montana. Let's not even pretend she was famous as Destiny Cyrus - Billy Ray's daughter. After a few years as Hannah Montana she "outgrew" the part and went all crazy. She's basically a disgrace to the Disney Channel name. She dissed the show so many times complaining about her "ridiculous" wardrobe and saying she needed to move on and grow up. I get the ridiculous wardrobe and growing up part, but why do you have to hate on Disney? They were just trying to give you the best of both worlds. :) Here's a before picture of her. She started out so cute. There is no way I'm posting an after picture - I don't want that on my blog.

I guess I can't blame her since her Dad is also ungrateful. The brilliant man said Hannah Montana ruined their family. Nice. It also made you rich and almost famous again. Don't try and tell me those royalties from Achy Breaky Heart were covering your terrible haircuts.

The worst of the worst? The most un-great of the ungrates? That goes to Dan Stevens better known as Matthew Crawley. All you Downtoners know what I am talking about. I'm talking about this lovely man.

 Let's just take a moment of silence to stare at his blue eyes. Nice. Do you know how long we waited for him and Lady Mary to finally get together? 2 Seasons. Okay I guess that's 1 season faster than Jim and Pam and 3 seasons faster than Shawn and Jules, but it was still a long wait. Season 3 brought a lot of cute Matthew and Lady Mary moments, especially in the last two episodes. Then in the last episode of Season 3 (Spoiler alert) his wife has a baby. He meets the baby, goes home, then on his way back to the hospital he gets in a car accident and...dies! WHAT?! What were the writers thinking? Well they were thinking, but Dan Stevens wasn't. He quit the show. But wait, isn't this one of the most popular shows on TV? Why yes it is. Does he have the best character on the show that makes all the girls fall in love with him not just as Matthew, but as Dan? Yes he does. You could say he has it all. What was he thinking? He said the job was monopolizing and he wanted to find other opportunities. Doesn't get much more ungrateful than that. Congratulations Dan you win my most ungrateful contest. Okay your competition wasn't that stiff and it did say a lot about what TV I watch. Anyways, I hope you're happy for ruining Downton Abbey. Jerk.
