Yep. Me too, lol. I love Ana Navarro. And you just know Sunny and Meghan low-key despise each other. Meghan's tantrums are ridiculous (and it's obvious she's ready and waiting to pounce and she constantly plays the victim, making it all about her, it's exhausting). But then again she gets people talking about The View so ... but how long can they put up with her clear unprofessional-ism? I've been watching less, but I watched most of this week, somehow ... lol I want Meredith back but she feels a little too good for the show at this point .... lol. I'm surprised Whoopi's still hanging in there. I guess a check is a check ... Ana should have Meghan's spot but I believe Ana flies back and forth from Miami so I doubt she's ever going to be full time but that would be nice. And you notice how Meghan always tries to be extra pushy and awful when Whoopi isn't there to put her in check?

Same. Social media is also toxic but that's a whole 'other rant.

I haven't attempted a YouTube search in a while but is anyone privately uploading the episodes or ... ? I always mean to watch but never do and since I'm not really bothering with the current soaps ...

I wouldn't necessarily consider DW a '90s series' even if it did end in the early 90s. And they forgot about the 7th season (but who wouldn't?) Judith Ivey was the best part anyway. I'm very happy it's streaming on Hulu though! I believe all episodes are on YouTube, or they used to be. This show hasn't really done well in reruns over the years though. Only place it lasted a long time was Lifetime and that was in the 90s.

Is Sharna the first pro winner not to be brought back the next season? Ouch ... There has been swift pushback for Spicer but this is exactly what ABC wanted: everyone is talking about DWTS. EVERYONE. Even the guy in the White House. They LOVE it. We all know the networks love everything attached to Donald Trump because it does indeed bring in ratings and gets folks talking. I also just simply don't like Bobby Bones. However I was not surprised when he won. Folks act so shocked but I've watched this show since Season 1. It's very typical of better dancers to go out (and "big names" usually don't last long) .... I've been "over" this show for a few seasons now and I have even less interest now. Shame as I really enjoyed watching this and so did my Mom (one of the few things we both watch), but even she's lost interest over the seasons. When GMA was hyping it all it just kind of fell flat to me. Meh. I don't think anyone cares anymore. Shame the producers/ABC didn't listen to Bergeron. He's a smart man.

I'm finding myself really liking it as well. It's fun. But I can see why folks aren't watching live. However, they are watching later ... https://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/dvr-ratings/broadcast-live-7-ratings-aug-5-11-2019/ My guess? This remains a tossup. I'm just not sure what their hope was for this. It's fine for a summer series but I have no doubts they wanted more. So we'll see where it goes. I'd like to see it stick around, personally. But I don't know that this belonged on Fox primetime.

Exactly. Subtle improvements (and I agree that it would do wonders for Jason, maybe not Brian, yet). Tori's going to be Joan Van Ark in another decade (I hate to throw shade at the amazing JVA, but yeesh, though I haven't seen her recently) or maybe more Leslie Charleson when she's freshly done (I imagine ageist Phelps/Frons, who were no spring chickens mind you, did a number on both Charleson and Jackie Zeman causing the years of plastic surgery)

Rauch probably did .... I vastly preferred Eplin as Jake on ATWT than I ever did on AW. It also depended to me on who he was paired with on AW. He was wasted on blah Jensen Buchanan, and I was NEVER a fan of her Vicky (except maybe very early on and I feel like her pairing with Ryan was the exception, but she just lacked fire; we didn't need both Paulina and Vicky to be boring housewives). Eplin does kind of give off that vibe, if I can be honest ... lol. I did like him the most on ATWT too, ironically. It always did feel random, as he fit in well on ATWT, IMHO (as did Cass, who should have also migrated full time) but now it all makes sense ... (much like I never understood why no show held onto Sarah Brown ... only to find out she was basically blacklisted) That being said, overtime, I've become less and less of a Martha Byrne fan ...

I think BOTH Shannen and Jennie have aged very well. Jennie definitely had a bit of help it seems, but overall they both have amazing skin and look at the top of their form, IMHO. Tori's just a desperate famewhore who desperately needed a paycheck. I have no comment. But being around the cast and in this show makes her tolerable to me. Brian Austin Green and Jason Priestley ... agreed with Chit, both look rode HARD. Not saying they still can't get it ... but yeah. They definitely look their ages. Overall it's enjoyable, actually. A shame it's sinking in the ratings each week as it gets better but what do they expect? Fans wanted a real reboot. Not this. This is a good companion series but the marketing could have been better. The promos were "we're back" meanwhile you had to find interviews with the cast to understand the premise. Putting it at 9pm behind a show I can't even remember the name of (MasterChef? that gets lackluster ratings) wasn't ever going to help it. If we're basing it on what potential ratings it could have had, it won't last another season. If we're basing it on summer programming and similar ratings ... it's still probably a toss-up. Meanwhile, probably surprising no one, Daphne Zuniga has said she's (probably?) in if they want a MP reboot (I've been seeing Locklear's mugshots again, how's she doing?). But it depends how BH90210 does. So I'm guessing this is going to go nowhere, sadly. But I'd love to be wrong.

It really does suit her and make sense

Good news I think they were non-committal earlier in the year about her coming back because Katey had a sitcom in development (I think on ABC? I can't keep up anymore!). If we're not getting Married with Grandchildren, then I'm all for her on The Conners.

I thought Lori lasted longer than that but I really don't remember off hand at the moment. I started losing interest around Season 3. I can't remember about Walters either, was it ever said? My memory is getting really bad, lol. Probably ageist CW or to make room for original 90210 vets like Doherty and Spelling? These shows just didn't know what they wanted to be and it showed.

I would of just kept Jessica Walters and dumped Lori and Rob from the get go, personally, lol. Kids parents die and they move in with Kooky Grandma. And yeah, Melrose fucked up from the start. It was a mess. Katie Cassidy and Stephanie Jacobsen were the only good things (though I did think Shaun Sipos and Michael Rady were cute and Nick Zano's Drew had potential). That and seeing the vets wander around lost. All such a missed opportunity. It was always going to be a problem for both 90210 and MP when the showrunners either don't know or don't care. The fact is, CW wanted them in name only. They didn't want the 'baggage' but seemed to bow to including them.

Exactly this!!! It would have been INTERESTING. Not sure why Garth wanted to do absolutely nothing but hold Silver's hand. At the end of the day the reboot was a lot of wasted and missed potential. And LMAO at Garth somehow not remembering she was on several seasons ... methinks she was attempting shade or she just has a really really really bad memory. I guess it would be doing Garth dirty because Garth didn't want Kelly to be a homewrecker. IDK. She needed to get over it and play the damn character. Yep! Again, lots of missed potential and lost opportunity. Same for Melrose. Both reboots make me angry as a fan because I wanted so much more from them. Same for Dallas. What wastes.

Ah. I do seem to remember that, I missed the Sinclair thing though. Garth doesn't seem to want Kelly to actually do anything so it was probably for the best.

Is any kind soul uploading those anywhere? I've always been surprised he stayed on EE. I've never liked Max but Jake Wood is a good actor.

It's an interesting, IMO, concept for a show. So I'm giving it a shot. (And I do think Tori/Jennie said the 2nd season, if they get one, would be about the reboot itself. So I'm curious how it all works itself out) I did enjoy the 'nightmare' Tori had where Grandpa Brandon was still serving at the Pit and Kelly owned it. LOL I wouldn't call 90210 "good" but I'd say it had a lot of potential in Seasons 1 and 2 and I liked a lot of it. But the reality is, The CW wanted 90210 and MP in name only and seemed to then jump on old cast members and shoehorn them in as fan service. Both could have been SO much better. Sigh. Such missed potential. Makes me so mad. lol. Especially Melrose when you had Daphne, Josie, Thomas, Heather, [!@#$%^&*] LAURA LEIGHTON AS AN ALIVE SYDNEY, ALL willing to be there. God, makes me so mad. I kind of lol that I think Grant Show wasn't interested but he's done nothing but primetime soaps, really ... and now he's on that trash they call Dynasty.

I enjoyed it as well but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't rather have a reboot. But I imagine most of the cast didn't want to and are only now hedging on the idea because of fan pushback. It's an amusing take. But I don't think it works as a primetime series on FOX. I mean, like 8 million people watched the premiere of 90210 on CW. 11 years ago. The audience is there ... I guess they could ask the same question: "is there anything some of us even like?" lol But yasssss to the Thelma Harper shoutout.

I agree.

Yes!! I've long said Judi should have been playing Nancy, not Paulina. Paulina wasn't needed. I think Cali's Paulina had a lot of potential but I also think Cali could have worked as Vicky over say blah Jensen Buchanan. Watching a lot of Rachel/Paulina scenes, it's clear they should have been sisters, they sure acted liked it (Judi's Paulina was basically Nancy and it all would have worked much better, but they seemed to act as if Nancy didn't exist, I rarely ever remember them talking about her) ... Thanks. I know Forsyth quickly landed on AMC (ugh, just remembering that time period). I imagine he was fired too, but maybe he saw the writing on the wall and left? lol

How is it any different really than forcing viewers to care about a new character who has a convoluted backstory no one cares about? It's really the same thing.

And then John and Anna were dumped and written out (or did they leave on their own?)

I am too!

lol Vee! I agree on Adam but I'm not 100% sure either.

Same. I had a hunch he was gay so I'm not at all surprised. I watched him on DWTS too and it ended up clicking then, for whatever reason. He was one of the best things about Fuller House.
