Very true. It really has been. Best group in a long time. Beats the Elisabeth and Sherri years IMHO.

ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
You think everyone looks horrible But yeah James Hyde looks rough. Swaby looks his age. Loved Donn and Travis Hated their recasts (I never liked Eric as Ethan but I'm fine with him as Brady, visually he works as Drake's kid) Brook Kerr looks exactly the same LOL

Melrose Place
Me too. They did for a very brief while I believe but it didn't last long.

Dynasty: Discussion Thread
I disagree. I think it could have worked using the younger generation from the original Dynasty. They could have still done diversity and made character nods. They want the name and buzz that comes with it but not the baggage of the original, which is fine, but I think it's a missed opportunity. One of the main problems with the reboots of MP, 90210 and Dallas is that you had showrunners who didn't have a clue what the original shows were like. Once they started to get in the groove, and "get it", it was too little too late.

Young Sheldon: Discussion Thread
I don't really think Young Sheldon is necessary. Maybe once Big Bang goes off but not now. It's going to be a timeslot hit but on it's own (like many CBS sitcoms that are simply timeslot hits) ...

"The Conners" Discussion Thread
Considering the original series wasn't overly political I'd hope it's not now. I expect some jokes but I'd been fearing, like many it seems, that it would be nothing but Roseanne supporting Trump like she does on Twitter. To be quite frank I think she trolls a lot of time on Twitter. We shall see.

EastEnders: Discussion Thread
One of the problems, IMHO, with the UK soaps is this desire to write people in and out and kill them off for shock value, and bring on new character after new character. I haven't watched in quite a while. I don't really like how they seem to like to humiliate the women on the show. Sharon, Denise, Michelle ... to name just three. And if they aren't being humiliated they're turned into unlikeable screaming banshees. Not to mention, IMO, the terrible view towards gay men.

Hollyoaks: Discussion Thread
I haven't watched in ages but they pull plot twists out of their behind, lol. Is all this so they can eventually put him with Ste and they can have hate sex?

Trash could be one word for it. Not saying I won't likely DVR some episodes to check it out but eh ...

"The Conners" Discussion Thread
I've grown to really enjoy Frasier and Seinfeld (but I don't watch them over and over like I can shows like Roseanne, I Love Lucy, Golden Girls, Roseanne, Mama's Family, Three's Company ... I've seen all of them hundreds and hundreds of times ans they're all just as entertaining to me like they're brand new) but like MASH or Andy Griffith they were never my type of show either, as well written as they are. Yeah, I hated how they had Dan have an affair, she definitely did that on purpose, after spending 8 seasons building him up as a great man and husband and father and they always had a good marriage. I guess I never put much stock in the finale where they said he died for real. I know most did but it's really never been in the back of my mind. I just assumed it was all in her head or something and who's to say what was "real" ... I just re-watched the finale today on LOGO and I wonder if they'll remember Becky and Mark were expecting a kid, but they hadn't told the family yet.

"The Conners" Discussion Thread
Agreed. I hope that's what they go for with the new show but I'm a tad worried ... lol Ah. I do remember some of that. I thought the Geraldine issue was when Crystal (who represented a sister to Roseanne) was more or less dumped, but to be fair, Crystal was played out. How many times could they make her pregnant and they stuck her with Dan's father. I thought Roseanne and Laurie wanted Jackie to be more like Barney Fife, which Laurie has mentioned before. She channeled him on purpose. I disliked how whacked out Jackie became even if Laurie was hilarious doing it. I slightly remember John and Roseanne having a falling out but wasn't Dan's absence in Season 9 because John was filming a movie. He was becoming more of a movie star to a degree and he said recently on The Talk that he didn't appreciate how good he had it on Roseanne and wanted off by that point. Roseanne must have resented it or something. And I do remember reading or hearing that she was on drugs. That was pretty obvious on-screen. Agreed about the TA years and how it messed her up. TA has more or less turned himself around as well but I hated him during those years. He was awful. He was clearly on drugs too but that was never a secret. You could see how tweaked out they were on screen, the jittery behavior and wild eyes ... so so obvious.

Oh and more on the man hating ... she turned her father into an abusive cheater. And just watching the funeral episode she talks about not trusting men and Dan for the first five years of their marriage. It just all reeked of "I hate men" ... blah. She completely transferred her distrust of men in real life (for good reason) onto the show and her character.

Gary was my favorite for Jackie as well. I prefer the Crystal years, the factory, Rodbells, the bike shop ... Seasons 1-5 were the best. Season 6 and 7 were the man hating, miserable bitch I'm probably snorting coke or doing pills Roseanne years (seriously, she looks stoned a lot of episodes). Season 8 wasn't too bad, but it was supposed to be the last season initially so I think it mellowed out and felt a bit more like the earlier years. Season 9 was trash even if some of the episodes have grown on me.

Dynasty: Discussion Thread
I'll be nice and say I do appreciate the diversity and different takes on certain characters, but I'm still not sold on it.

"The Conners" Discussion Thread
It wasn't Fisher but Fred @DRW50 Fisher was the young abusive one. I didn't like Jackie with Fred because of her attitude. And Laurie decided Jackie needed to become Barney Fife. Agreed @Khan Roseanne clearly hated men after her breakup with Arnold (not to mention she looked like she was on something during a few seasons). All Dan did was yell and be miserable, Mark became dumber than a box of rocks, David became even more pathetic ...

Yeah I agree. I liked her with David at times but overall I agree with that. Or have her be bi.
