Idea for a hit TV show: use actors who previously starred on other shows, playing the same or similar character. Viewers love familiarity.
Big Bang Theory has Sara Gilbert and Leonard from Roseanne, Amy Farrahfowler from Blossom, and Wil Wheaton from Star Trek Next Generation and Stand By Me. Also numerous other familiar guest stars.
Crowded stars Patrick Warburton from Seinfeld, Stacy Keach, and that girl from iCarly.
The Middle features Patricia Keaton from Everyone Loves Raymond, Brooke Shields (above), Chris Kattan, Brian Doyle-Murray, Norm McDonald, and Jerry Van Dyke (and sometimes brother Dick).
