Thanks. That could have been a good soap.

Watching this old Roseanne interview (or what was there of it, anyway) I'm reminded of why she was so popular in those early years, in spite of all the endless tabloid publicity. It's a powerful interview. I'm so sorry about where she ended up.

Homophobia and attempts to ruin the lives of lgbt people remain the goal, no matter how much the media lies otherwise.

I also read claims he called the various POC housemates loud or aggressive, even when they did nothing or said nothing out of turn. I haven't watched, and I mostly just follow boards out of habit. I'm not surprised BB is making a white guy a martyr against the scary dark-skinned people. That's what they do best.

From what I read his comments went beyond that.

That was a beautiful tribute to Olivia. Great photo too. Thanks for letting me know.

I haven't seen those last years in a long time, but if I get past the horrid ending for poor April, Michelle Stevens (her sister) was a fairly independent character, even if she was mostly passed off to men. Cally also grew over time. Not much else to say about the women at the end, as they were dead or gone. I always remember that moment in the finale, probably the only part that was effective for me in terms of dramatic power, where

It's interesting you mention this as CBS did run ads along the lines of, "Dallas is entering the '90s," and, "Women are strong on Dallas now," but it just wasn't going to matter. Dallas was too identified with the '80s, and JR, who was not in any way a '90s character. Knots didn't have the same dating problem, as it just wasn't as publicly defined (when I was growing up my family watched Dallas and Falcon Crest but never mentioned Knots), but I think most of the characters just didn't have any real life left in them by 1993. They could have tried a show with some of the younger crew, but they had all been written out or just weren't well-developed, aside from Paige, who probably wasn't going to stay on much longer as Nicolette was trying for bigger things. As always I am appreciating your rundowns, which give me a lot more insight into characters I wasn't very focused on, like Cathy. If you ever get there I will be most interested in your thoughts around seasons 9-11 as those are not especially compelling years for me, with a few exceptions.

Eesh. Yeah a very kind person gave me episodes for free and I will always appreciate that. I have bought episodes a few times but never in circumstances like these.

Thanks @victoria foxton

So Trump got what he wanted - delaying and blurring the lines. I wonder if this judge was right wing.

Thanks @victoria foxton

Thanks @Forever8 On a better show Sandie would be back for the anniversary.

@BoldRestless uploaded a '70s documentary clip with a number of LOL clips I had never seen before, including one with Bert Convy and the wonderful Jessica Walter. There are also some ATWT, Search for Tomorrow and GL clips. I wonder how many of these episodes are still around anywhere now (I know one or two are). You also get some "before they were stars" clips of Roy Scheider, Bonnie Bedelia, Hal Holbrook, etc. What a treat to see soaps being treated with dignity and respect, which was so rare even at the time. @vetsoapfan @Vee @slick jones @Paul Raven @dc11786 @Soapsuds @victoria foxton@antmunoz@DramatistDreamer @Joseph

The talking points truly are out among the media to rig a GOP landslide. All I can hope is most people don't get their news from these dinosaurs anymore: Sidner comes across as very defensive in her many replies.

I probably should have added more of a warning - apologies for that. Tiffany has now hired the lawyer who recently worked for Prince Andrew and Armie Hammer...

This is from several years back - very prescient.

The Beltway is going to push the student loan relief along with Biden's speech as much as they can to remind us that the GOP is on the comeback and so on. Toady pollsters like this one are a key part of that process.

@Vee These are wonderful insights, and remind me of so much I've forgotten (like Cathy's backstory). I was never that interested in the Greg/Abby relationship so your thoughts on them give me a very new perspective.

A good interview where Shirley talks a lot about career regrets, the Rat Pack, metaphysical, while Bobbie Wygant shares her worst interviews.
