VH1's "101 Biggest Oops"
Felicity cut her hair, and her show was cancelled.

That's not an "oops".

That's sexism at its worst.

1. No - it looked bad
Lookism maybe, but not sexism.

Besides, I think part of why that show was cancelled is they completely uprooted the character, changed her and the cast at a time when it was doing well.

3. According to VH1
her show was cancelled because she cut her hair.

she has every right to cut her hair.

the show was called, "Felicity", not "Felicity's Hair".

10. I thought the show went on for more than another season after she cut

her hair. They all graduated from college - there wasn't much story left to tell.

harumph on this choice by E! - seems really subjective and not quite accurate.

11. Actually, the viewers "decide" if her show is cancelled...
...turns out they liked her for her hair and couldn't like her character with her new style. What's the issue? Do you honestly think they don't have a reason for casting attractive (or at least interesting-looking) people for TV and movies?

14. Well, actually if she was in a contract situation with a certain look,
then she might not have had the right to cut her hair.
Who knows?
But, OTOH, they could have continued, had they found it ECONOMICALLY feasible, with wigs or plot changes.
That they did not, says the show had other problems.

CatWoman... do you think VH1 does a lot of research?

16. As, my 8 year-old says.... Duh, yeah.
She knows that everything is about money in the USA. I feel sorry for the poor boys in 10 years.

2. Isn't that "E!", not VH-1?
Hard to tell them apart these days, I know...

5. My favorite Oops was
"The Death of John Ritter."

"Then, just as he was making a comeback, John Ritter died of heart failure. OOPS. You're not supposed to die, you silly person!"
