Once Jennifer Aniston Revisits TV, Should She Stay There?
Jennifer Aniston is moving back to the small screen and her timing couldn't be better. On the heels of Jen's box office disaster, 'The Switch,' it's been announced that Aniston will be teaming up with former 'Friend'
Courteney Cox in the second season premiere of Courtney's hit sitcom 'Cougar Town.'
It's a good move for Jen to head back to a place where America first fell in love with her, in light of reviewers calling her "forgettable" and "depressing" in her latest failed rom-com. On television, Jen has to be hoping that she will get nothing but love.
"I think we feel like Jen is one of our best friends and you don't like to have a break from your best friend. You want them to come into your living room. I think America will embrace her when she rejoins Courteney Cox," says
Hollywood Life Editor-in-Chief Bonnie Fuller.
Once Jen makes a visit to TV, should she maybe consider staying? Cox has had a successful post-'Friends' TV career, both in drama with 'Dirt' and now with comedy in 'Cougar Town,' where she essentially plays Monica 2.0. She's quirky and funny, she's just a little bit older and Chandler has dropped out of the picture. Plus, TV is where it's at these days, and Jen would be smart to start carving herself a niche.
"TV is where all the best writing is right now because cable networks provide the ever-so-coveted creative freedom that creators crave. They don't just need to produce huge blockbuster hits. As a result, TV actors don't just get handed scripts for roles that have boring, general appeal. 'The Switch' is so milquetoast -- most people probably forgot it came out this weekend," says
New York Daily News television writer Cristina Kinon.
But what is the best niche for Jen to start carving? If she's looking to play something more alternative, less family-friendly, she can go somewhere like an FX or Showtime. If she misses that 'Friends' feeling, she can go back to network television. What could work is if she found a way to poke a little fun at her own situation that the tabloids have such a heyday with -- 40, divorced and looking for love.
"She needs a show built around her that makes the best of her comedic talents. She needs a role that parodies her situation, so that it isn't sad. I can see her as a Murphy Brown or a Mary Tyler Moore, a single woman taking the world by storm," Fuller says.
Jen can't afford another box office bomb. Hollywood operates on a three-strikes rule and she's got three stinkers behind her.
"Aniston doesn't need movie money. She needs industry respect. She can get that with the right show," Kinon says.

Jen should just go away for a few years. Million dollar beauty treatments don't make you an actress. She can't act.

I can't agree with you more. She can't hang on to much these days... and we are all sick of hearing the day by day failures in her dead calm love life. Take her off the front page, she's yesterdays news...
I agree with you 100%
She can't act but I think the really annoying thing is all the 'poor Jenn' stuff we had to go through since Brad left. It just got so pathetic. I agree, she should go away. I don't think she'll do any better on TV.

She should have invested and saved that money-in the six figures per episode-she made with "Friends". She hasn't done anything worth watching since. She keeps replaying the same type of character over and over. If she never acted in anything ever again that would be fine by me.

she should go away for a while - a long while - and take Cameron Diaz with her. her movies are just as bad!

She's a very beautiful and vibrant looking woman, but that's all she seems to project. It gets very boring. She should dye her black and spend some time in Europe away from Hollywood and enrich her personal life and then maybe she'd be more interesting. Just do something different than continually playing the Hollywood cheerleader. As far as Cougar Town goes, that's crap like alot of other junk on television!

HORRIBLE IDEA FOR JEN TO JOIN "COUGAR TOWN". SHE BRANDS HERSELF AS AN OVER THE HILL WOMAN LOOKING FOR A MAN OR MEN. SHE NEEDS BETTER SCRIPTS AND SURE AS HELL NEEDS BETTER ADVISE AS TO WHAT PROJECTS TO TAKE ON. SHE IS A GREAT ACTRESS AND BEAUTIFUL.
DONT DO IT JEN, IT ENDS YOUR CAREER FAR SOONER THAN IT SHOULD.

Jen Aniston should return to the small screen where she belongs. She can't act and her films are all the same with different titles.

I like her. On Friends AND her movies. What is truly sad is the so called intelligence of the writer and other reviewers who call Anniston a terrible movie actress, but say that others like Anjelina Joli are good? please. Joli does alot of staring, flaunting herself. She has had some good movies..but most of the good was her co stars who helped her do well. Remember...Joli is living a lie, she is too scared and infantile to get married, so she has a brood of illegitamite babies and even adopts a couple. So they will grow up knowing that mom was too scared to marry dad. Say what you want about Anniston and her relationships...at least she gets MARRIED.

I agree with you. This writer keeps hammering away at Aniston, almost with a personal vendetta. Aniston doesn't seem to notice the gnats, as she enjoys the good life and continues to earn a fortune. Just think, she could have been a writer for Popeater.....
She can't act and her jaw looks like something that should be strapped to a mule plowing a field.

"spend some time in Europe" why the heck should she do that? Explain to me what living in Europe will do to help her? I find it amazing that people will ignore the portions of America that dont include LA, Chicago and NY and try to get people to "go to Europe". Vacation all you want. See the sights. She can afford it. But LIVING THERE? If you want to lower your standard of living, your integrity and your goals....go ahead.

Europe..... No! She should go out West, to a farm and shovel sh*t for a few years, to give people a chance to forget her.
It's about time she was exposed for the bad actress she is.

She makes 110 million a year. She must be doing something right.

She seems to be always playing Rachel Green.
