Television isn't giving up on Jenna Elfman... or vice versa

by Anna Johns, posted Jun 2nd 2006 8:04AM
jenna elfmanCBS has a lot of confidence in Jenna Elfman. Her comedy, Courting Alex, didn't even last for half a season on CBS, but the network is already creating another show just for her. She has reportedly signed a development deal with CBS and is now searching for a scriptwriter.

Is Elfman worth it? She's hot and funny and, according to Joel, she's "sexy in a non-threatening way". Is she worth hanging onto?

Jenna Elfman's best bet for a TV role is opposite Lauren Graham, perhaps as her sister. They both have remarkably similar appearances and comedic timing - altohugh Graham obviously has more range than Elfman. I'm surprised she hasn't done a guest spot on Gilmore Girls yet as Lorelai's long lost funny cousin, the only member of the Gilmore clan Lorelai can relate to. That's a role Elfman was made for.

Jenna Elfman is a "$cientologi$t". Any money she earns, part of it goes to the cult. On principle alone, anything she appears is not worth watching.

To watch her (or any $cientologi$t's) television programs or movies is to support the cult. I will not put my dollars there nor will I buy from advertisers who buy time on such programs.

Why this woman still gets work as an actress is one of life's great mysteries....
Almost as baffling as Freddie Prinze getting his show renewed....

Enough already with the whole scientologist thing. I am sick and tired of hearing about it and Tom Cruise.
Jenna is a pretty woman who deserve her 15 minutes of fame again.

jenna elfman is a good actress she needs to find the right "project" for her to be in.
she needs to try drama instead of comedy.
can't wait until she hits it big again.
have a great day!

"Jenna is over the hill...If you don't think you're old Jenna, stand next to Hilary Duff." Not a perspective I'm furious about; more like totally amazed that someone is apparently so confident the viewing public all want to watch "dewey young starlets." And if Hilary Duff is one of said dewey young starlets, I suspect I'm not the only middle-aged person who thinks she's a cute kid and will channel surf right over her.

Since this discussion seemed to take a turn toward "I care/don't care whether Jenna Elfman is washed up or not," I think the comment on whether she's a Scientologist has a place here. Some people are reallyl turned off by that. Tom Cruise has brought so much bad press Scientology's way lately that it's drawn attention to other actors who are Scientologists and perhaps hurts them somewhat. That could affect the success of her new show. Relevant.
