O'Donnell?

The characters may all be partners, but every one of these shows has two main leads and two supporting leads.

They are an ensemble in the sense that, say, Phoebe is part of Friends or Raj and Howard are part of Big Bang Theory, IMO -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 09:29 6
- The show was initially sold as Caan and Garrett...they might be equals but they weren't initially. - Will Hunting Jul 9, 09:31 5
  - And I'm sure they used Dae Kim and Park's images when choosing to advertise on Asian American media too. Your point? -- nm - con_carne Jul 9, 09:38 1
    - You said it was the same. It wasn't. That's my point. - Will Hunting Jul 9, 09:41
  - Actually, a Variety article points out that Kim and Park were on the first billboards. -- nm - David Jul 9, 09:32 2
    - Yeah, this isn't (my) Hawaii 5-0. I haven't watched it, but it doesn't seem like McGarrett and Dan-o are as central as they were in the original. -- nm - GregW Jul 9, 09:36 1
      - Season 1, they were the clear stars. - Will Hunting Jul 9, 09:38
All this does is expose the flaw in repeating the formula ad nauseum. But critically lacking or not, it's bank for CBS. - Mop Jul 9, 09:10
I understand that line of thinking but in terms of screen time, Scott Caan is the fourth player, not second. -- nm - David Jul 9, 09:08
