Very happy that is a PBS link and also sad it's an end of an era. To think I still remember him from Channel One in my junior high.

One can hope.

I agree. I really want them all back.

gasps But surely it's not going to be FOUR Housewives. However, I do love this news...now that I can reply. Can't wait.

I'm usually logged in when I'm online, but the system seems to boot me. On my laptop screen where it says that I'm in or Me as Taoboi logged in, it asks for 'existing users? Sign in?' in the upper right corner. I click on sign in with my info. It takes me another screen where it asked for my username and password. Then it does an 'oops' screen. I will try to get a screenshot when I get a chance.

I've noticed the last day or so that it seems like I keep getting booted out of my avatar and asked to log back in. When I do so, I get an error message. But a simple refresh shows that I logged back in. However, it's been quite frequently. And just wanted to give a heads up or see if an update is also going on. @Errol

As they should. Gotta get the marketing back out there.

Good to hear. In fact, I've started. I didn't know the actor who played the robot in ALIEN ROMULUS was in this. I guess it shows how much I have mellowed because I love shows that make it 7 seasons. Now? I do feel 5 is the magic number with today's television. Or at least a show where they already know their beginning, middle, and end. I can't wait to eventually get to Season 4 to see how it mirrors the world.

I think you said it perfectly. It's like they are trying to keep the stories at the same pace rather than just let them go more naturally. My big issue last year was that their best weeks were the ones where they had either one of their A stories, a well-paced B story, or a clear focused storyline as the center of a week with other stories surrounding it. So if the audience didn't like the main story that week (for example, Joey/Vanessa/Doug weeks seem to be like that here), there was still other stories that would interest people. However, it got to a point where that was far and in-between too often. I like the course correction of using one of the Duprees as the main story of the week because it is part of what the show is about. But overall, I feel the show treaded water, too, this month though I still enjoyed so much of it.

ABOUT TIME!!! Dan J Kroll on X: "BET will be airing a #BeyondTheGates Season One marathon every Thursday starting at 7/6c." / X

Same. Silk Press Sheila has definitely let down her promise. And given the talk about a rival family to go up against the Duprees, Anastasia and her brood are giving it. Let her cook. I never saw it that way, but that makes Kat's outburst look different in a whole other light. But I never like ChelesaKat fights.

Cool!!!

Frank gotta Frank.

I agree with what was said about good writing and good acting can make anyone overlook limited sets. That said...I admit that I am hoping that the climax to Bill/Hayley/the poisoning involves a remote. It just feels that way. Or at least, have a remote that feels like St. Barts...because I feel like that's where it would come to a head.

The road to the Cotillion continues...

And rightfully so!!!

And am so far! With his foine self. lol. No sign of plot-driven dialogue in sight. Just two people I like interacting with each other. Oooo tea.

@Antoyne I've started the date. :)

Very much this/

2-24 Wow. Well I wasn't expecting THAT on a Monday episode. It's John, Marlena, and the letter all over again lol, but I love this latest turn in the Electra/Will/Dylan storyline. I can't believe that Ivy is turning into THAT girl. But, I am happy to see her used more even if it is as a villainess which didn't she have a turn at it against Steffy at one point? Cool! And now Daphne is getting roped into that storyline? Not to mention RJ. I knew it was coming, but Ivy playing matchmaker is delicious. SHUT UP, BROOKE!! Katie wasn't wrong at all with anything she said during their confrontation. May the fashion showdown continue. I do like how Donna has been moderating so far. And I have to give credit where credit is due. I've over Ridge vs Eric scenes where they go over the same old tired ground, but it did seem like EMc and TK were trying to do something different with those scenes. Where is my Taylor/Deacon/Sheila triangle? But so far...I like this week.

But he's one-note. Saved by the actor playing him mind you, but still one-note. Very. It's why given what's going on in real life and/or BTS, May Sweeps is going to be interesting as all get out on both shows. I have picked apart this writing regime, but I give them their due in that Year 2 is definitely better than their first year together. I just wish they would grow out of their clear writing flaws or dare I say it...try something different in some cases. hehe. I agree on FF material.

lol

OH...?

I feel that. HUGS

Well, I was not about to let February get away from me without talking about that Valentine's Day episode...well...that week period since I did rewatch it. I think my highlight from that week was the Valentine's Day episode. Except for Joey and Vanessa (and even that showed some little nuggets about Joey), I loved all the couples displayed. I of course was living for Vernon and Anita having their moment. Dani and Andre were adorable. And while I will miss each and every time Dani shaded Ted, I liked she came to a truce with him since he and Andre are so close. And of course I loved Shanice and Dani tag-teaming Silk Press Sheila who got what she deserved and winded up ALONE. Ha! I thought that coda was great and hoped for a return to villainess SilkPress, but alas...that was not the case. Meanwhile, I've been enjoying how the plasma storyline has introduced a growing rift between Smitty and Martin. Last year, it was Martin's secret that gave them drama. It is shaping up to be Smitty's turn this year. Now let's talk about my favorite thing going on the show this week...KRISTEN DIMERA...I mean...Hayley!!! I love that after fits and starts, the story has taken on another angle. Lynette's introduction promised some mess. And it wasn't unusual on DAYS for some sidekick character to pop up with the potential to expose a schemer's scheme. But Lynette has been slowing finding her legs. And I just love that her and Hayley creating this attacker story is leading Bill right toward Hayley. Then you have Tomas (of all people) starting to get suspicious. And lest we forget, Joey is hovering around...and has strong ties to Bill, too. Three different ways for Hayley to be found out. There's tension within that storyline. And tension can lead to stakes. And it was felt. At least this week. Samantha...and Donnell? Well, I am happy to have Donnell back. And I felt he left too abruptly. The cotillion storyline has been my other enjoyable storyline at the moment. So I'm happy the show got around to revealing Samantha's date. Yeah, I like Ashley and Grayson. This week had Neurotic Ashley back when she tried to help him with his mother. And it didn't drive me up the wall like it would when Ashley was with Derek. And it...just fit. They had a nice moment. Yeeeah, I'm over SilkPress around Anita. That whole scene of her talking and talking and talking and then Anita falling over. SilkPress should not be the center of Anita's storyline and should stay out of it. Go focus on that clinic. I did like that Anita went on CBS MORNINGS and revealed her cancer diagnosis to back all her enemies off of her starting rumors. I liked the Dani/Nicole scene this week. But I live for her sister dynamic. And it's just funny how Jacob's undercover storyline was the C plot this week. I know that I was happy to see him have a storyline. But it has felt so disjointed. And I really didn't like Naomi messaging the burner. It's supposed to be in case of an emergency. That said...also there was a cute little Hayley/Naomi scene. I don't know what to say about their scenes now that I know Hayley is a con. Still nice. A decent week.
