10 Most Forgettable Leading Men On TV

10. Ferris Bueller (Ferris Bueller)

Ferris Bueller Did you know that a TV show about Ferris Bueller came out in the 90's? No? Well, that's probably because it is considered one of the worst TV shows of all time, abandoning a storyline about Ferris Bueller from the film and focusing on the "real" Ferris the movie is based on. Confused? One of the most pivotal scenes shows Ferris using a chainsaw to destroy a cardboard cutout of Matthew Broderick from the movie. Though Broderick's Ferris was a popular, outgoing guy, the TV version was nerdy and completely unlikable. A bright spot is that the show had Jennifer Aniston, yes, THE Jennifer Aniston. The problem? She played Ferris' sister, which means all of the sexual tension Aniston normally brings to a role woudn't be capitalized on until Friends debuted just a few years later. Another factor that plagued the show was its timeslot. Ferris had to compete against Will Smith's Fresh Prince, which would make anyone quickly realize the difference in quality between leading men. As a result, viewers abandoned the series and did their best to forget it ever happened.
