Why no talk about this obviously gay actor?
Because he isn't attractive?

Compared to Paul Sand, whom [italic]Gimme A Break![/italic] replaced him with when he either left or was fired, he's practically a hunk.

He was the star of one of the worst sitcoms of all time. Remember how every show after Friends sucked? His was one of them.
I think he and David Schwimmer were boyfriends. Or at least sisters.

Has he been married to the chick from Bold and The Beautiful for years or am I thinking of someone else?

His show was consistently rated in the top five. It was one of the highest rated shows ever cancelled. Obviously his being a J-word. was the cause of it.
He was considered hot. Remember how he was on Friends, which led to his own show and Jennifer Aniston and Lauren thought he was hot.

That's because [italic]Friends[/italic] was and is THE worst sitcom ever, and the network assumed since that was a hit, people who would watch that crap would watch anything. That's why network sitcoms have been steadily going to shit for 20 years: 1%ers are not funny unless they're

As I said, 1%ers are not funny unless they're being made the targets of derision, not role models are aspirational figures. [italic]Friends[/italic] and other shit shows like it reinforce the sick values of 1%ers and bigots with its insufferable whiteness, celebration of materialism, and cheerleading for the Giulianification of New York City, which it depicts so laughably inaccurately, even compared to other LA-based shows set in New York, as to be totally unwatchable.

I've met Johnny several times and hung out. He and his wife have a place in New Orleans and go there frequently. Super, super nice guy who stays busy as a character actor on TV mostly. Never got the gay vibe.

No? I don't remember THAT either!

Remember that horrible TV movie [italic]These Old Broads[/italic] where he was Shirley MacLaine's son? One of the other broads claimed he was gay and she believed it, but he never denied or confirmed it, and then they took him to a gay bar where two of them tried to sing "Get Happy" to a cheap synthesized beat. Really, really bad writing.

Yes, I remember the dreck they put on between Friends and Seinfeld again and again (and between Seinfeld and ER, too). They were all highly rated until NBC moved them to another night. The Single Guy shit show Jonathan Silverman starred in was no different. NBC tested it out on another night. It went from #4 or #5 to #60 or below. That's why they canceled it. NBC was trying to build ratings then move those shows to another night. Frasier, which was a good sitcom, got moved to Tues to compete with Home Improvement, then one of the highest rated sitcoms, but Frasier survived and was still a Top 20 show because of its quality. All those other shows fizzled and died. NBC made some terrible business decisions back then.

NBC has been living on borrowed time since [italic]Seinfeld[/italic] went off the air. Network TV is becoming more and more irrelevant with each passing year, and with so many other, better options to choose from, viewers have less patience for mediocre fluff. Why would you eat nothing but cotton candy when you could have filet mignon?

The Single Guy was one of many NBC sitcoms sandwiched in between Friends and whatever came on at 9 PM (Fraiser, which is funny); someone joked they could run the color bars between 8:30 and 9 and they'd be in the top ten.

I'd watch color bars before I ever subjected myself to an episode of [italic]Friends[/italic] again. Even a test pattern with an Indian head would look more like Manhattan actually looks.

I've never understood the hate for Friends or Jennifer Aniston on this site. Even if you don't find either of them funny they are benign at best. I loved Friends.

He got his big break on Broadway in Brighton Beach and was so close to what Neil Simon envisioned that he cast him in the movie instead of Matthew Broderick, which angered some people. His second "big" break was on "Gimme a Break". He started getting the laughs and Nell Carter demanded he get fired.

Broderick wasn't Broderick too old for the movie when it got made? Did he turn it down? Silverman was supposedly discovered in a Bev. Hills High production and Simon put him into the play on Bway then the movie and then he originated Eugene in Broadway Bound. I always wondered if Broderick turned down the B. Beach film and Broadway Bound on stage.

He was not fired from GAB. After that season when Julie and Jonathan got married and had the baby, all the kids moved out and Nell moved to NYC with Addie and Joey.
