Same.

Is Tennis Channel trying to pretty this one up?

I haven't been paying much attention to tennis lately but whoa, what a mess on the ATP side today!

He probably just asked, tbh. Others could've been doing what he's doing but over the years, especially since the end of ATWT and GL, I have gotten the sense that the soap blogs out there weren't interested in most of the actors from these shows unless they were on one of the remaining soaps or considered "hot" and "current". Prinz has relevance and fans of the show need to show up and give these icons their "flowers" while they're still around to receive them (regardless of how we may feel about the host). All those so-called fans better show up. In the back of my mind, the thought also surfaces that maybe someone from P&G could look at the views and gauge if there is any interest in doing another collection of these shows (a la SoapClassics). Judging from the views of classic episodes, there would be no reason to do any further box sets in the future.

No quibbling, I am going to listen to this one.

Some of us already figured this to be the case.

I saw VP Harris in that interview and I realize that some will try to suggest that she was being evasive but she was consistently saying that only legislation can provide meaningful, long-term change in the lack of sensible gun control policy. She was pushing back on Gayle and Anthony's line of questioning that seemed to want to put the onus on executive action. Even they must realize the limits of EOs. What we need is comprehensive change that is embedded in federal law, basically what she was saying.

Oh no, at this George Segal news!

^^ NRR doing a much better job of explaining GL's cultural significance than P&G/PGP. SMH. Still, very cool. Are all GL's radio episodes archived? Does anyone know?

Retro TV has a livestream on their website, so I will try to watch that debut episode in real-time.

If it were easy, Sheffer would definitely have done it. He likely didn't want to write for Lisa because he really, he couldn't dress her in drag or have her do pratfalls out of windows.

My first thought is to wonder what South Asian Americans think about what she said. Do they not count as Asians? If she meant East Asians, she should just have said so, even though that would be opening up an entire Pandora's box worth of division.

Yes, her tenures seem very testosterone-laced. As an aside, I think she would've been great at writing Brooke Logan as she seemed adept at writing sexually charged vamps. From what I have noticed, she seemed to write two archetypes of women, hard-charging, full-steam ahead in career, and hard-charging, full-steam ahead in the bedroom. The same way that many criticized Maryland in how he wrote '86 Barbara and Lucinda, I would see Long writing similarly for both characters. Lisa is a character that seems straight-forward and easy to write on the surface but was a bit more complex beneath, which is my guess as to why the writers didn't bother with her at all towards the end (they should have at least tried though). Due to Fulton's Southern heritage, I fear that Long may have been tempted to write her as some sort of ageing Southern belle or grande dame and that wasn't Lisa. Despite all her sparkly, fancy attire, Lisa wasn't a reclining grande same. She was a successful business woman but she wasn't an Alexandra Spaulding, either in business temperament, or in disposition (she was not as concerned with socio-economic standing and class as Alexandra). Lisa was a romantic but not a camp like Reva. Lisa was, on occasion down for a good scrap. Another thing, is that Lisa was fiercely loyal to her women friends. Most of Long's best known creations had stronger friendships/relationships with men. So, I would've handed off writing duties to another writer, as far as Lisa was concerned. I think Long would've done fine with John Dixon (no one has ever truly flopped with him) and she probably would have written great conflict between he and Bob.

Nobody mentioned writing for Lisa.😬 I realize not everybody is capable but Lisa was a major character.

FWIW, Moderna has a slightly higher efficacy % rate than Pfizer, but again, a minuscule difference. A little but much needed humor.

The "good guy with a gun"? Wouldn't that be the cop that was shot and killed by the gunman?

The differences between Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are miniscule. The real issue, IMO is with AstraZeneca, which has been problematic throughout this entire pandemic.

Unfortunately this thread should be bumped up. Given the tragic events in Colorado.

If you've only seen what's been uploaded up on YouTube, you have missed many spicy scenes. No offense to the uploaders, who have provided fans with lots of entertainment, but if you really look at who is featured in the majority of those episodes, it's mainly Lily and Holden, lol. The sultry stuff from Tom and Margo is not even on there.

I saw your post @JaneAusten about the Democrats missing a golden opportunity to use the border situation as a rallying cry for immigration reform and this, I think, is one example of the attempt at this.

Oh the irony of all those soap bloggers and soap-themed magazines not being able to cover that soap-adjacent news item that is right in front of their faces, even as the industry struggles for relevance!

These f*ckers, lol.

Short of a major overhaul, this show is likely done. The Talk was supposed to be a cheapie light-hearted crowd pleaser and none of this is true, at present. I have said continually that racism is expensive, it comes at a hefty price. Osbourne is no Walter Cronkite and despite her desire to be referred to as "Mrs. O" (in some pathetic bid for respectability, imo) she's certainly no Oprah. It is not, in fact, "cheaper to keep her", as the song says.
