Type Casting

Now, there's been alot of talk about J. Frid not wanting to be associated with DS, because of the type-casting it cost him.

I didn't watch Buffy, Charmed or Angel during their orig. runs, but now I'm watching and TYPECAST-O-RAMA!! Man...just today, I saw 'Principal Snyder' on Charmed, I've seen (sorry, I don't know the character's name), tall, gorgeous black woman, who was on Angel (I saw an article she's on some other Josh Whedon show), I saw 'Ben' of Buffy on Charmed, and so on and so on.

Here's the thing....most of the 'supernatural' shows of DS's era were going off air at approx. same time as DS (I believe Bewitched was off in 1971 and Jeannie same time).

Do you think if DS had preceded these other shows that some of our alumnis would have at least had cameos or small bits on the other shows?

Thanks,
