Why Hollywood Won't Cast Christine Taylor Anymore

Taylor did a lot of TV early in her career as well. In addition to Hey Dude, and after her Brady Bunch movies, Taylor starred in Fox's short-lived, 1996 sitcom version of the Parker Posey movie Party Girl. In 2007, she gave TV another try, starring in a pilot for CBS, but it was a non-starter. According to IMDb, "Untitled Christine Taylor Project" never even got an official title. Written by Ajay Sagal, who went on to write for The Carmichael Show, and directed by Ben Stiller, the project has yet to receive a release date over a decade later. So, it's not looking good. 

In 2011, Taylor starred in a another pilot: Rip City, a traditional, multi-camera sitcom for TV Land about an Oregon-based soda company. Created by Lizzie McGuire creator and Sex and the City writer Terri Minsky, Rip City centered on Taylor as the beverage distributor's new boss, a New York transplant loathed by all the old employees. Rip City co-starred Taylor's mother-in-law, legendary comedian Anne Meara (above), but it wasn't enough to get the show onto TV Land's roster of warm, fuzzy, and nostalgic sitcoms. 

"It was a real family project, but it didn't make it so we all got a good laugh about that," Taylor quipped to The Morning Call.
