There was speculation about whether they would not air episodes with Terry Lester because of Bergman's feelings. That's what I replied to.

Peter Bergman is worthless to the show at this point. If he's offended then he can leave with zero loss.

Such sad news - can't imagine how the Marsalis family is feeling right now. And so many others. I love "That Thing You Do" - a timeless pop ballad. I am just enraged about the threats against Fauci. Enraged because I can't even be surprised. The man wants to help people and the Trump cult lunatics want to kill him because of their neverending Clinton obsessions. Wretched. They are scum. Speaking of Mississippi. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/04/01/coronavirus-state-governors-best-worst-covid-19-159945

She was praising Fauci a few days ago for his work on AIDS in the '80s, as she was a part of that battle as well. Nice of her to do.

Wow. I never would have thought of corona impacting something like this. I wish they could air some of the pre-Dec 67 episodes too.

Thanks. I'd seen that channel but didn't realize it was an old uploader as I thought it was just one of those channels that puts up stuff already around on Youtube. I appreciate your asking them.

I thought Ellen Dolan managed to play softness and vulnerability in her first run as Margo, and I thought she had chemistry with Holmes in that run. It was her second run that seemed much harsher and colder to me. Deas could be very OTT as Tom. I think he was trying harder in the scene where he cross-examined Margo and unknowingly induced a miscarriage. He had enough respect for Margaret Colin to make that effort with her, I guess.

Could you ask him if he has any more ATWT or GL to upload? He had some especially rare ATWT early '80s stuff...

The outro theme always gets me a little emotional.

That story about the man who lied to get in to the maternity ward really bothers me - they should not have backed down on their ban for emotional reasons. Now his wife and their child could get sick or die, not to mention everyone else there.

I'm glad Sheree is still trying, I guess. I imagine she had all this in the works for a while but a part of me wonders if that hilarious "She by Sheree is not debuting until spring/summer/September due to COVID-19" post made her step forward. Naomi Campbell would be a great Housewife but she'd probably never have a chance on Beverly Hills, where you'd just get a lot of passive-aggressive mind games and digs from the usual suspects. I wish she'd do her own type of day in the life type of documentary, even if they probably wouldn't want to address some of the darker rumors.

Maybe he was a big Sisters fan.

The performances are definitely great (which is a nice surprise as the SNL acoustics are notoriously iffy). Bad Girl has this classic moment where with a photo of the loathsome media whore Joey Buttafuoco, she does her own version of Sinead O'Connor's photo-ripping that caused so much stupid controversy at the time.

If you weren't around at the time it's difficult to overstate how obsessive the coverage and often condemnation of Madonna was in the late '80s and early '90s, peaking around the time of Erotica/Sex. The past year I've been rewatching old SNL episodes, and the 92-93 season has weekly mentions of her all over the place, from sketches to Weekend Update (the season also has some of her last appearances on the show, including a very controversial sketch where she parodies Marilyn Monroe singing to the Clinton family...). By the end of the decade, American life was rapidly fragmenting and stories would come and go in the blink of an eye, similar to how things are today. None of the Madonna controversies, even those that were endlessly hyped up (like her anti-war/Bush stuff) have ever really hit the same way or had as much long-term impact on American life. I'm just glad she was able to have a comeback, because there really did seem to be a systemic effort on the part of the media and/or industry to bury her around the time of Bedtime Stories. One of the things not mentioned in all the hand-wringing over Erotica/Sex is that she did address nihilism and self-loathing and the fatal consequences of delving into casual sex in that broken mindset. (also featuring a touching performance from pre-self parody Christopher Walken)

I think those may be from some of the episodes Astheworldstillturns put up.

I did. It's sad, if not surprising, to see how little respect he had for her. It tells you that her family treats her as nothing but a commodity. I'm surprised she's made it this long.

What a surprise that the creepy loser Cenk has gotten involved for more clout. AOC is making the only logical decision for her career or any "movement." They are a liability across the board - Bernie, Omar, Tlaib, Sirota, and so on. My guess is that Jessica Cisneros would have won if she hadn't been so tied to the cult. That alone probably weighed heavy on AOC's mind.

I...don't consider most of those to be good movies, but alright.
