All My Shadows

I don't know if I should post the board name, but one board I post at semi-regularly is severely pro-Claire. I can sorta see why because everyone there sorta lets everyone's negative actions define them as characters, and of course, the worse thing Claire's done is let KC cheat off her math test. Ugh. I love Jenna simply because she got fuglyKC out from under Claire in the bitchiest way possible. It's unfortunate they made her boring in a quest to make her likable. I'm not an Alli fan simply because she's dumb as rocks and annoying as hell. Out of the current crop, I don't think I even have a favorite. I like the football guys, but they've been given little to do.

And the thing is, Riley's hair was short all through S9, and he looked MUCH better. No clue why they let him grow it out again. IMO, Sav has always looked fine with both short and long hair. at Lila! Claire is just...I don't know the word for it. It's suicide to go to some boards and say that you think Claire is boring. Because she's the only teenager on the show who acts like she's 35, she's automatically the best character in the history of Degrassi...ever. I've never known a Claire.

Take Your Time (Do It Right) - The SOS Band

Pulling out the multi-quotes... That's what annoyed me the most about Boiling Point. They paid all this lip service to being able to tell stories with more completely, having the episodes to take their time and hit every beat, etc, but it was all lies. If you do the math, nothing about BP was different from the last few seasons except for the schedule they were aired on. Aw Those days were sweet. But yeah, I know what you mean. That's kinda how I was in the interim immediately following the departure of Paige'n'em. Ask me anything about Lucas, early Jane, late Mia, Mia/Peter, Mia/Darcy, etc, and I don't know. I did watch those episodes at one point, but I just didn't care enough. I was too busy wondering how Natasha Bedingfield could sing Pocketful of Sunshine in 2007 even though the song wasn't even written or recorded until 2008. The Riley story was the most frustrating for me, and it has been since the very beginning. It should not have taken so long for them to show us what his parents are like (and even then, we only got one), and when we did meet his mother, a bolder statement should have been made on how she would feel about having a gay son. And with the way Riley's been acting, it should have been evident that things would NOT have been okay with her. I wish we didn't have to deal with the coming out drama anymore. It still has a place in television, and shows should still do it, but the number of gay teens who are out by the time they're in their junior or senior year is growing rapidly. It's annoying, it really is. It'd be nice to see some gay characters who aren't obsessed with staying in the closet. As for Adam...eh. I think a lot of people on other boards overly praised that story simply because "OMG, it's a transgender teen! And I'm so liberal and open-minded and cool, this story is fantastic!!!" The actual story, I liked a lot. But the acting and dialogue was like [!@#$%^&*] on a cracker. Todosey was all right, but she tried way too hard to play the character as a biological male (which, I know, is the point of the story, but still, her little piece in the opening aggravates). The dialogue, though....just cliched and cliched. And I objected heavily to Claire being the "one to turn to" in regards to the self-mutilation scene. Claire's the stalest, most boring character on the canvas, and having her be "good" all the time doesn't help. I'ma need her to be a bitch. A Drew/Riley/Zane triangle would have been epic if they all got extra acting lessons, especially Riley.

SFK, yeah, it definitely would have been easier to just watch it as it aired, but you don't have TEENick, right? I just watched them on MTV the next morning, so I was able to keep up. Aw, me and my friend liked it at the time. We'd discuss it as we walked laps in PE, haha. What I liked, though, is that I was just about the same age as the original group of characters, so when it started, I was still at the age to enjoy the more sillier, childish type of stuff, then as the characters grew, so did I, so it was good that the show transitioned got soapier because it wouldn't have kept my interest if it had stayed more sitcom-meets-afterschool special. I think I read that the lack of TNG was only for the Boiling Point episodes, but that wouldn't make any sense.

S1 is hard to watch if you watch the later episodes first. It was soooo tame before the "It goes there!!" era, so if you're used to stuff like Paige's rape, Jimmy's shooting, JT's death, Liberty's pregnancy, Manny's abortion, Ellie's cutting, Peter's meth addiction, and Craig's bipolar disorder, then stuff like JT and Toby watching porn and Ashley scheming to win an election just looks silly. It was cute at the time, though!

Seasons 7-9 were pretty hit or miss all the way through. 10 is much better, but a lot of the acting and dialogue is clunky as hell. I haven't even gotten around to the last four arcs yet because I just haven't felt compelled to watch them.

Of course, I loved all three sets If I had to pick a least favorite, it would probably be the Garry Marshall simply because Happy Days grew to become one of the most obnoxious TV shows ever put on the air. I still like it and have fond memories of it, but I don't really miss seeing it in reruns. Laverne & Shirley is one of my favorites, though. Except for the bizarre episode where Laverne's boyfriend dies in a fire. Or the one where Mrs. Babish's daughter is autistic and falls in love with Lenny. I could watch the MTM shows all day, but I think they're overrated at times. Chuckles Bites the Dust isn't that funny.

You're lucky, Carl. I didn't watch as often as I wanted to at all, but whenever I did, I'd watch two or three in a row because I just loved the look and feel of the show. I guess I better get on the ball with Prisoner because who knows what's gonna disappear next. Some old Corrie episodes have vanished as well

Is it Staple or Staples? I see both all the time, but I never know which one is right. Tyrone Davis

Baby Boom

LOL! Vintage Jag, just because. Expensive gourmet dinner or one of grandma's recipes?

William Roache really was a hot little piece back then, wasn't he? I'm so used to Ken being boring and corny, but I always forget how different he was in the first couple of episodes. How's the show been doing lately? I had an episode up and ready to go a few days ago, hoping that maybe I could be coaxed back into watching regularly again, but I've yet to watch that one episode.

It's out there........and it's not too hard to find When you find it, I'll help you out with it.

That cover looks pretty...but what a weird picture to go in the center. No Julia, Lance, Cole, or Richard? But Vickie gets a spot. I have the S1 release and I'm loving it so far, though I've read that the first season isn't really a favorite among fans (or maybe I'm just not looking around enough). Of course, there are comparisons to Dallas, but I don't think that FC is too much like D. The characters on FC, so far at least, are generally benevolent and well-meaning. Even Angela is pretty tame in the first season. There's a more positive atmosphere, and I like that. Early Dallas sorta leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth because, much as I absolutely love it, the Ewings, from the jump, are a pretty corrupt family in so many ways. The FC gang is more laid-back, and I like the fact that we actually see them working in the fields and in the labs. That said, I'm so excited for S2 on DVD!! I haven't gotten to Melissa's debut yet, but what I'm really looking forward to is Ana Alicia's first appearance! She's just......in the two episodes I've seen her in. And a triangle with her, the sexy version of Lorenzo Lamas, and that hunky WRM (who, yes, has a lovely ass)? I need to see that!

That Hannibal Penney interview is kind of awkward The interviewer was scared to offend him in any way. I think it's kinda sad...he said he trust the writers to give him a story somewhere down the line, and I don't think he ever got one. Too bad, because he would have been a very gorgeous leading man.
