New York: So in the trailer for the season, Leah called Heather a Karen...but has she looked in the mirror? It would be one thing if Leah embraced being the villainess...but I think she believes she's the one everyone is rooting for. I think someone had one too many shots of delusion. Eboni seems cool..but being put out because her ex fiance put his kids first leaves me to think she's a tad selfish...perfect for the show lol. Ramona is so out there...but I can't help laughing at her. Especially her misunderstanding of 'cancel culture'. I'm not sure I can hold on for the season...Leah is just unbearable....she lacks Bethenny's ability to joke and lacks Heather's nurturing vibe.

Alan seems to be all surface, little depth. And he interrupts too much at the wrong time. He needs to smile, look pretty and let the show guests talk.

Denise and Rinna were friends for years...so I have no doubt she would have gone for Eileen. Eileen was smart to leave when she did. Let's see if Garcelle will avoid the season 2 curse. Probably will since Erika's skeletons are exposed.

Isn't the point of a reality show to show real life. Karen made have good one liners and her fashion has improved...but her name fits her. Wouldn't it be better for the cast to not attend...and conflict springs from that?

I think ER built on the strong foundation St Elsewhere started in the 80s. Strong theme song, mix of medical/soapy stories, and was kind of gritty. I liked Dr Corday...and her romances with Greene and Benton..before she was fired. I think either too expensive or too old.

I had forgotten Michael and Rachel had been tested and building since mid 1991..that got cut short by the actor leaving the show. Shame the show didn't revisit that when he came back in the mid 90s. And did Iris have any opinion on Michael/Rachel since they had a fling back in the 80s..that never was referenced after 1989..but it did lead to Donna and Iris trading barbs especially when their kids started dating.

I'm happy with the Jill/Nina/David mashup. A panel people actually want to see

I loved this..both had good stories and good wifi. I'd love if Alan could find Sofia Landon Geier (Diane Ballard)

Seeing interviews with Horgan...she and early Shannon were similar. I always think Marland could maintain the vibe of the previous regime for a year or so..before it became more subdued.

If they fired Leeanne for what she said about Kary...will the show also fire Kameron for tweets she and her family posted? Is her bro in law really named that?

Andy originally was on in the late 80s/early 90s...she owned a restaurant/bar called Andy's. Had dark hair and kind of frew spirited. She married and moved to California..leaving Wanda in charge of her business. Flashforward a few years later, she came back as a blonde..townboy..and wanting to be a cop. Had a crush on Luna's brother Dylan, paired briefly with Kevin (during 2 bad recasts) before being paired with Antonio.

I'd welcome Sheree back as a friend. I'm curious what goes into the decision making on whom becomes a friend and who holds an item in their hand?

This is why people with actual careers either don't join the Housewives..or quits after one season. Upside is Dandra and Tiffany can remain friends...since you know friendships usually implode on the franchise.

And Iva circa 1985/6 had a youthful style..that became matronly in by the early 90s

Mart was in a holiday TV movie in 1983 opposite Lee Remick..and he was handsome (and slimmed down some as well. And I think Mike/Carmen would have been interesting. Carmen was a character who could have been a viable character long term...shame the show went caricature with her. One of Long's strengths were male friendships..and male/female friendships.

Dallas: Brandi had a rough year, but she needs to get off the cross because there's a wood shortage. Kam vs Tiffany... they're more alike than either would like to admit. Both like correcting others, both attack when hurt, and both love to badger (and both can't let [!@#$%^&*] go). D'andra would be better off cutting ties with Mama Dee. She's a great person and her mom will never see that sadly. Jersey reunion sneak peak: Pigtails (margie) did seem unfazed in episode 1 when Teresa spilled the rumor talk so no surprise if she started it..or helped spread it. Jennifer vs Pigtails...what I didn't know I needed till this season of Jersey. 😀😀

It seemed like the Dobson's seemed to kill off any story that had potential that weren't Cruz/Eden. Santana was an interesting character...she was the maids daughter, determined to attain status on the same level as the Capwells. Ava L was sensual and tortured with a strong backbone. While Santana #2 was a decent actress that handled the Channing is gay story well....I wonder how Ava would have played it. And I don't think the Santana being drugged and sent to a mental hospital would have occurred had ava played the role (though she did want to kill someone in the early episodes so Santana was certainly passionate. One of the few positives of Long's stint was wrapping up Santana's arc..with the character leaving to start a new life..and reclaimed her identity...and meeting the handsome guy on the plane was a nice end to the character

Kenya stays being right...and Porsha's newest scandal proves it lol

I remember Linda was originally tied to Javier..the antagonist. But she helped out the police with catching Javier..and she stayed as a talk to thereafter before being phased out. I know Javier was the one to get Rachel hooked on drugs..and it seemed like the show was pushing them as a toxic couple...but I think the actress playing Rachel wasn't accepted by the audience (she'd been recast) and was written out quickly. I do wonder how Andrea Evan's would have paired if she returned during this more gritty era. She did well in the more low key late 70s era of OLTL when it was still psychological and a bit gritty so I think she might have adjusted to this era. And Gabrielle...not sure how she would have faired. Fiona did do well on GL in the late 90s being in the Cooper orbit..so maybe she could have done well in the Angel Square era of OLTL.

Parks and Rec in the top 10? Hell no.

She could have stayed on long term...she would have been an interesting spoiler to Mason/Julia. It's a shame that drugs took over her life....she had so much potential.

The one thing PB's Jack did capture was the sarcasm TL infused Jack with. Also, early PB's Jack was more elegant than sensual/sexy.

The thing about Ramona is she's reality TV gold. She inserts foot in mouth and she provides fodder for the other women to react to. When I heard Eboni was joining, my 1st thought was how Ramona would react to her, how she would insert foot in mouth and how Eboni would react to her. Season 5's one saving grace was how Carole, Aviva, and Heather would react to Ramona (and their reactions were memorable). Vicki G on OC didn't illicit that type of response.... but Tamra did. Season 14 of OC would have worked had Tamra remained imho. And would have been interesting to see how Elizabeth and Tamra would have meshed.

I'm stoked! My mom used to talk of the trials of Peggy...and how seeing Peggy and Roger marriage fail made her realize that no one can change a man unless he wants to change. GL used to have the long suffering nurse character ranging from Peggy to Katie to Lillian to Annie.

If Marie could fix her wifi issues after the 1st interview, so can Frank. I did love how Marie realized who Nancy was on Matlock, and all the talk of older 70s and 80s family shows
