Hmm. Good question. I think there are actually more people than we think that tune in to a show because we like the actor/creator/producer.
I saw BtVS the movie because Luke Perry and Kristy Swanson. When I found it is was going to be a show and SMG was going to be Buffy, I was already on board b/c I LOVED her on All My Children. It made it better when I knew CC was in it, as well. I LOVED her in Malibu Shores LMFAO I'm such a dork.
The only reason why I gave Bones a go was David Boreanaz. Sadly, during mid-S3 Boreanaz couldn't even make me continue to watch. But, that's for another topic altogether ;) I still love David and I can't wait to see what he does AFTER Bones is canceled.
Fringe, I was on board when I knew Joshua Jackson was one of the leads. I love my Pacey Witter! ♥
Jeff and I went and bought True Blood season 1 because so many people said it was good, but that it was created by Alan Ball and how much I loved Six Feet Under made it a go. Now, I'm so fucking addicted to that fucking show. I love it so much.
I'm pretty sure I gave every show I watch a go because so and so is in it or it is produced or created by so and so. There's nothing wrong with that. When you do start watching that way, you find out that you genuinely like the show for more than your favorite actor most of the time, anyway. Although, I'll be tuning into The Vampire Diaries and Flash Forward this month. It has nothing to do with who's in it and what not. It does help Flash Forward that I like John Cho, but that's not the reason I'm tuning it. I'm intrigued by the premise.
