Tiffani Thiessen joins What About Brian

by Brett Love, posted Jan 5th 2007 11:31AM

Tiffani ThiessenIn what looks to me to be a desperate attempt to gain viewers any way they can, What About Brian is adding Tiffani Thiessen (Saved By The Bell, 90210, Fastlane) to their cast. She will play Natasha Dylan, who is described as being sexy, manipulative, and a shrewd business woman. Natasha will join the show as Dave's new boss at KC Gaming.

I don't know if adding Thiessen is the best of decisions, but then, it really can't hurt. What About Brian is struggling to keep its head above water at this point. The last original episode finished last in the time slot with only 4.54 million viewers, and that was up against repeats of Studio 60 and CSI: Miami. To put that in perspective, the last episode of Six Degrees that aired before it was pulled had 7.59 million. And the last episode of Smith was good for 8.43 million. Total viewers isn't the be all end all of keeping a show on the air, but someone needs to ask, "What about those ratings, Brian?"

This is my favorite Show!!! I am stunned that this show is hanging on by a thread. It is so good and different. I hope "Marjorie" is still on the show!!! Too many reality shows, investigation shows, news shows. Finally, a drama to sink your teeth into and nobody is watching it? Wake up, before there is nothing but american idol, the bachelor and dancing with the stars!!!

I LOVE this show. I look forward to Monday nights to see what is going to happen. I agree that the Marketing for this show is partially to blame for low ratings. This is a one of a kind show at times when all we are seeing is crime shows and reality shows. Please dont canced What About Brian?!!!!! What About Their Fans??? We will be at a loss!

I LOVE THIS SHOW...I LIKE ALL OF THE CHARACTERS, THEY ARE ENDEARING AND LOVEABLE. IT IS DIFFERENT THAN ALL THE OTHER SHOWS AND THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE WAS NEVER ANY REAL ADVERTISING FOR IT. HOPEFULLY THE PEOPLE AT THE NETWORK WILL READ THIS AND PUMP THIS SHOW UP....KEEP IT ON THE AIRWAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have NOT seen this show ever about "what about Brian" but now it features a good name and talent like Tiffani Amber Thiessen..then it is worth giving it a shot at watching. I sure wish her luck with it though. She is a talented and very attractive lady, Should improve ratings on a show that may be having problems. Good Luck Tiffani.

This is a great show. I hope people see that before it gets pulled. I very rarely try to see anything on network, but this is a good one. Very different from anything else on.

I watch "What About Brian" with my husband. A show we can enjoy together. It does remind me of the old television series "Thirtysomething". Which was a definite favorite of ours! This is also a great relationship show and it has some things we can all relate too. It really needs to be given a chance. I think they can definitely have things happen if they have Majorie return. If ABC reads this please keep it on the air!

This show is great! I don't see why it should go off the air. First I hear about Six Degrees, than the O.C. and now this. What's next American Idol, or Law and Order? (lol). Save the good shows. Just when I see something new and good on television like this, everyone is quick to judge. OH NO! There's no death so we have to eliminate it.
