TV Kids That Didn't 'Cut It'
August 22nd 2010 21:14
. . . and no! Steve Urkel is not dead!
Or Tina Yothers from Family Ties?
How about that kid that played Punky Brewster or what's his name from The Wonder Years?
Then there was the middle child (Stephanie) from Full House and the obnoxious kid from Gimme A Break . . . the list goes on and on of so-called TV child 'stars' - who in the end really didn't cut it and make the transition to a full-on adult career.
OK, so some, like Neil Patrick Harris (better known to us as Doogie Howser) has of late come up trumps with a role in How I Met Your Mother, but in the main, television is littered with the names of child prodigy's who have simply fallen by the wayside.
So?
Anyone want to add to the list and perhaps suggest what some of these kids are doing now?

How about all of those 80s shows with the various Gold siblings, they were hyped for a long time.
Then of course there are Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who when they were kids, looked to me like Trolli dolls. Since they couldn't act they do clothes and makeup and stuff now.
And the over and over again Danny Bonaducci, who has had more career restarts and changes than most people. But he is a champ because he keeps going.
