The Last Episode

On the last episode of SW, I recall the entire cast reminiscing about the show's remarkable and unexpected run, and then viewing some clips from the monstrosity fondly known as SW. After viewing clips from this agonizingly unfunny show, cast members admitted the show should have been aborted after the pilot episode and then took turns drinking kool-aid from a cyanide-laced goblet, excited to embrace a welcomed death after leaving a legacy of horror with their work on SW. True story.

Well that was a good way for the show to go reminiscing about the show from the very first episode to the last show. It is sad to hear that a lot of the cast members did not like talking about this show. I mean it looked really great to watch and I loved to see this show as a kid because I got to spend time with my mom because she worked during the week.

My theory as to why a lot of the cast members more than likely did not like doing this show was because they could have been type casted and someone asked them when they went for a try out for another role "Are you not busy working on Small Wonder?" Sorry but you are not perfect for the role. I can understand that if it happened but some of the other actors did not have any problems finding other jobs to work on or other roles you know.

Sad to hear that they did not like working on this show then. My question is why didn't any of the actors walk away from the show and do other projects then if they did not like doing their roles? That would have been more sensible to do you know.
