Yeah, the promo is better than the entire story in virtually all these cases. I find 90% of CBS campaigns in the '90s and 2000s to be horribly embarrassing tbh and always have. All the weird posing and vamping with cheesy music and poor Peter Bergman saying "get it on!" But then I didn't grow up with them, which may explain why I still have a perverse fondness for the incredibly silly and extremely '90s "What!!! In the Name of Love" campaign that was previously mentioned: Poor Hillary B. Smith!!! The crosshairs on the third to last promo!!

I forgot this promo:

Girl, keep up! The "I'm Not in Love" promos were for the first(?) PC novella arc, "Fate." Eve becomes involved with Ian and Kevin and Lucy reunite. I was feelin' it. I don't think later ABC ever had better promos than the "Escape" campaign with Natalie/Cris, the sadly-aborted Liz triangle on GH and I think Greenlee/Leo/Laura on AMC. I also always liked this campaign even if the story was bad:

As I expected, Bryan Singer's next project has basically been shelved.

Joel Crothers: A rugged heterosexual who can't get enough! God bless.

Some nice pix of the returning original(?) cast's upcoming episodes.

Oh dear.

NYT celebrates 2016 by kicking out the old Hillary smear jams with new female candidates, and gets roasted and ratio'd on Twitter for it:

Chandler Riggs' dad, who has a sketchy rep as a bit of a stage dad, is making more claims about Riggs' exit. I take anything from the dad with a big grain of salt given some of the stories about him, and given that to my knowledge Chandler has never commented on it and seems very content focusing on his electronic music atm. That said, it was a horrible mistake killing him off.

Reedus and Melissa McBride just signed long-term franchise deals. But tbh I ain't watched since early Season 7, I have no idea when I'll go back and watch more for completionists' sake. I will watch the standalone movies if it's guaranteed Danai and Andrew Lincoln are back.

Please be careful, Susan. My heart couldn't take something worse.

Still not watching, but Danai is finally tipping out:

I also think AOC has made better choices lately. I think she's got too much of a social media yen, but she's not Ilhan Omar. She's learning. We'll see how it plays out, especially going into 2020 with Bernie vs. everyone else. Do I mind a Green New Deal if it can be articulated via nuts and bolts, of course not. Meanwhile:

Roberts voted with the Dems.

Lynch's longtime cinematographer Peter Deming (who did Season 3), along with the FB page run by several original castmembers, both posted this online maybe less than a day apart. Coincidence or coordination? Who knows.

ABC is finalizing a Season 2 deal. Expected to be 13 episodes.

I think he deserved a nom, tbh.

This got posted in the OLTL thread - I posted about it here a while ago. Erika!

I don't think Northam is a bigot today, but I also don't think (and haven't for several days, even before that awful press conference) that he has any choice but to resign. I have no idea WTF to think with Fairfax and his responses so far aren't helping. I don't want to eat our own, but some things we have to do upkeep on.

The instant I saw the name alarms went off.

John Edwards??!! Oh lord.
