Did Lindsay Lohan kill this show?


This show was in the prime of its time on air, makes you wonder did Lindsay Lohan really kill it. When you bring an outside negativity into a movie or TV project like Lohan, it messes the chemistry up with the actors.


IMO, had they not brought Lindsay on this show it would've still been on the Air. Also, numerous sources said America and Lindsay didn't get along because Lindsay had too big of an ego.

Lindsay has nothing to do with this show ending whether she had guess starred or not it still would have ended. She was only in 3 episodes anyway.

Lindsay's casting generated a renewed interest in the show and not only gave U.B an endless amount of press and publicity, but ratings went up. The reports of Lindsay feuding with the cast and being fired were all fake and denied by ABC and the actors. I can't believe people are so stubborn that they continue wanting to believe lies.

The writers strike, personnel changes, too much melodrama and not enough comedy, a lack of energy, a lack of growth, a poorly timed hiatus, a the final straw that kills many shows (which was probably the point) a shift in the schedule. Shows that move from one day of the week to another rarely survive. I'd say Lohan was the least of their problems. ABC smelled a huge hit early and simply tried to fix what wasn't broken when the ratings lagged a bit around the strike.

Maybe I wouldn't be besties with Lohan, but I thought she did a great job on the show.
