Your daily (or nightly) thought

Peyton Place

I agree. I like Ted Bessell, and thought he and Mary were pleasant enough together, but his character always felt extraneous and shoe-horned in.
Yep, they went on to have bigger roles and success elsewhere. Place, Marshall and Bessell were all well cast for the MTM roles, but their characters were not really necessary. The six principles (Mary, Mr. Grant, Ted, Murray, Georgette and Sue Ann) were enough.
I found it dark, drab and ordinary too. Her first apartment, however, had had such warmth and flair.
There has been so much praise for the Chuckles episode over the decades. I, too, find it overrated. It's good, I believe, but not a significant standout compared to so many other fine episodes.
Mary's problem with sleeping pills (the ep you mentioned, in which she sits down in the tub only to have Mr. Grant, Murray and Ted all barge into the bathroom) was funnier, IMHO. The Ted/Georgette wedding was great too. And the series finale always guts me. The first time I watched it, it made me ugly cry. Strange reaction to a sitcom, I know. I sobbed throughout a particular episode of Oz, but a comedy show? Hmmm.🙄

Search For Tomorrow Discussion Thread

I seem to remember a summer 1981 Don Chastain plot about a wrestler. It seemed to have queer undertones. I remember it was a lot different in tone from the prior few years but the clips I've seen recently it looked well lit, produced and acted. Don had never written a soap and Bunim was crazy to put him in charge. The other issue is that Harding Lemay's material had only been airing a few weeks when the strike material started in spring/early summer 81. SFT suffered from a series of head writers similar to The Doctors and I've wondered this before: was Mary Stuart behind many of the writer changes? I think all the shows lost their footing during the 1981 strike. But Chastain's SFT had some high ratings but the show did start to slip.

Booting In and Out

I've noticed the last day or so that it seems like I keep getting booted out of my avatar and asked to log back in. When I do so, I get an error message. But a simple refresh shows that I logged back in. However, it's been quite frequently. And just wanted to give a heads up or see if an update is also going on. @Errol

Peyton Place

My opinion of them was the same as Ted Bessell as her boyfriend - Mary didn't really need them. By that point the heavy focus on her workplace life and having friendships through work felt more logical.
Mary Kay Place and Penny Marshall both lucked out over those roles not working out (even if I find Loretta difficult to watch the further I get into Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman)
That's how I feel too. I loved that apartment. Her new apartment was fine, but felt drabber, too stark, and perhaps a bit too on the nose for the cultural shifts of the late '70s moving away from the last shreds of individuality and hope into something colder.
I think the show still had some strong moments all the way to end, but there was too much focus on repetitive and unpleasant banter with characters like Murray and Sue Ann (I love Betty White but I did not need so much Sue Ann). The show loses some heart. I also think Chuckles Bites the Dust is overrated. The better moments in those last few seasons were quieter, more unique (I like the episode where Mary intended to relax and take a bath but instead Lou barges into her place).

GH: State of Mind with Maurice Benard Discussion Thread

Maurice's birthday interview with Dominick Zamprogna and Lisa Lo Cicero. There's lots of cameo vids from the cast wishing him a happy birthday.
First set: Jonathan Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Sidwell (Carlo Rota and Nazneen Contractor) Genie and Jonathan Frakes, Carolyn Hennesy
End set: Dominick Zamprogna, Finola Hughes, Kin Shriner, Scarlett Spears (Donna), Laura Wright (from Paris), Bryan Craig (from the DMV parking lot!), Eden McCoy, Evan Hofer, After 1:11 I'm not sure... behind the scenes people? Hoping someone can identify. I think one of them is Michael Sutton! He looks totally different. Steve Burton at the end obviously.

Anybody would have been better than Wing's Hauser.
Any suggestions who would have worked in the role after Houghton's departure that would have made the Greg character stand out ?

Peyton Place

I cut the cable cord in 2011 to save money, and I have never looked back.
When you realize that a plethora of TV series and movies are available for free on the internet, discarding cable is not painful at all.
I do have subscriptions to Netflix and Crave (a Canadian streamer) as an add-on member to my sister's account.
I find that the amount of choices I choose to watch is overwhelming.
I'll only go back to cable if I win a fortune.
They were okay, but didn't really catch on very well. I might have grown to like them if their characters had appeared more frequently, but even TPTB didn't seem invested in them and those ladies were quickly dispatched.
