...That very quality, though, has made it difficult for Jarreau to attain megastardom in an industry that relies on pigeonholing performers. He has had some mainstream success - you might remember the Top 40 hits Mornin' and Moonlighting (the theme from the 1980s TV series of the same name, starring Cybil Shepherd and Bruce Willis).

...scenes most likely taking place simultaneously in the rooms in Kirkland directly above the Junior Common Room, those of actual students. Instead of aiding the success of the show by bringing an extra dimension of realism to it, this aspect detracts from the show for the same reason Cybil Shepherd flopped on the screen: she could never play anything but herself in her films, and so her characters did not benefit from the careful analysis and mental exercise actors must usually perform when preparing for a role--and she did not require any more than a smidgen of concentration, indispensable...
