Maybe We'll Have You Back: The Life Of A Perennial TV Guest Star - Plot & Excerpts
“Thanks again for having me on your show. I had so much fun,” I said, still hopeful I’d be brought back. He was perusing the magazines at Bookstar Books and said he was annoyed by something he just read. “Know what Entertainment Weekly called my show? They called it Sein-Friends. That pisses me off.” “That’s ridiculous. Your show is nothing like either of them,” I assured him. In 1995, a season after Friends’ phenomenal first-year success, there was a slew of shows accused of cloning its format, but Drew would prove to have a voice of his own. I had just done a guest star spot on another new show that was also called a copy of Friends. Can’t Hurry Love starred Nancy McKeon, formally from The Facts of Life, as a young, tough, working woman looking for Mr. Right. To me, that show was not so much a show about a group of young pals hanging out as in Friends. It was more an example of many shows to come: hard-working single women surrounded by about five coworkers where it’s never clear what any of them actually do at that office.
