Some great articles on the 30th anniversary of the Like A Prayer album. Billboard: Madonna's 'Like a Prayer' at 30: Here's Where She Goes From Superstar to Artistic Great NME: Sex. Religion. Death.

Loving was so forgettable that even its creator didn't remember it! 😀

In Madonna news, 'Like A Prayer' (song) was released 30 years ago this week. There's numerous press articles about it. Here's one from PEOPLE. https://people.com/music/madonna-marks-30-years-like-a-prayer-music-video/ The late Casey Kasem's tribute when the song hit #1 in '89:

I'll never get over the one he did with Marcia's husband (Chris Gotman), where Goutman didn't even hide what little f.ucks he gave about ATWT in the end.

I'll never get over how damn old most of that original cast was to be playing high schoolers, but damn it if their natural chemistry with each other didn't overcome it.

The X-Files was their first top 15 ratings hit, I believe, and after that you could just see what little respect or regard they had for the early years of the network. It was weird.

Wow. Shocked, but looking back, he's aged a lot over the past 5 years or so.

Regina deserves so much kudos for staying in the game for so long, and for transitioning from a child actress to a respected adult actress. It's hard to do in Hollywood when you're black and female, but she's really had longevity in this game.

I'm happy for Olivia, she's deserved. I'm a bit sad for Glenn though given her losing steak and the fact that she IS one of the best actors period of her generation. Hopefully she gets something good in the coming years and has another shot - would hate for her to be given a token honourary Oscar a few years from now when she's at the end of her life/career... Just glad Lady Gaga's campaign for a Best Actress Oscar faltered like hell...

I hadn't seen Maeve Kinkead's Emmy win before, so this was nice:

7. It's an over-promoted piece of sh!t.

Coronation Street had this one for the Richard Hillman storyline in 2003:

Labine ended being such an awful fit for this show, and I'm not 100% sure if it was because of Paul Rauch.

Laura Wright has always played Carly like she was the most popular mean girl in high school. The grit from the character is completely gone.

Somewhere Carly went from be anti-establishment to being the establishment. But anyway, Carly was only really a fleshed out character when Brown was in the role, and she was by far the best actress to play the role.

Nothing is worse than the DAYS promos from the 80's when they hired a bunch of ABC actors and had them talking about making "the switch." I don't know if those promos are still on YouTube... None of those actors who made "the switch" lasted very long...

Those summer 1997 CBS promos are still vivid in my mind. Like the Carly and Molly ATWT one, or the GL/Annie one where Cynthia Watros looks like she was having a ball. These '96 Phyllis/Y&R ones were also pretty good. It's hard to remember that Michelle Stafford once had a certain charisma and femme fatale mystique about her...

Watching that, I have dreams of building my own ice cream empire!

The Generations promos were better put together than the show itself...

Who could forget the 'Try Me' campaign from the early 90's? LOL

The 'Turn on the Light' promos from 1992 were great. Here are two focusing on Holly, Blake, and Ross.

CBS had a great run during the Lucy Johnson era.

A Star is Born is the product of severe payola and an obnoxious Oscar campaign from Warner Bros/Cooper/Gaga's respective camps. I have no sympathy for Cooper being let down by not having a Best Director nomination, especially for a story that's been told 3 TIMES ONSCREEN. Luckily Hollywood has seen right though all this and has not been awarding it, despite the bought for press in the Fall suggesting they would.
