It ceases to be a thrill ride very fast, lol. It becomes a very, very slow and measured show quickly, and a very good one. Any other network would've cancelled it with its soft numbers as a sleeper critical hit, but FX was classy to stick by it and make it clear two years ago that they would be renewing it until it chose to conclude.

That's fine, too. That's the impression I had of it, which is why I was surprised to see how fast things move so far. Nice to hear FX really committed to it. You don't often hear stories like that.

According to them, their other, bigger shows (including their tacky sitcom deals like that Charlie Sheen syndicated thing) paid for it and other smaller ones.

I'm continuing to ignore him as he's trying to provoke everyone to put the spotlight on himself. Also, he's 'not too right up in the ole noggin'  as someone I know would say.

Dragon blood?  Reminds me of Charlie Sheen and his rants about tiger blood.  I'm pretty sure that Kanye has bipolar (like Roseanne).  I'm not sure how I feel about these stars who have public meltdowns.  It seems like they are being exploited on the one hand, but the fact that they have megaphones is disturbing. 

I guess it's the new "any show with more than 9-13 episodes is automatically bad and bloated." I hate the word "manspreading." 

Yes, I saw this earlier today.  I've heard him sing this song on other occasions but I enjoyed the sweet simplicity of this version. For a moment, he was alive again. Just for a few brief minutes, I forgot that he was gone.

It's a fantastic version, but my favorite is probably the wildly baroque take done by short-lived Prince-created outfit The Family. Though Sinead O'Connor's is of course the classic. 

The Rosie Gaines version was always really deeply soulful.

I love Fleetwood Mac as much as they love their drama. Some people just never change. Good for Neil Finn and Mike Campbell though, getting to join the roster of 500 Mac members. I wonder if this means I'll get to hear Stevie singing Don't Dream It's Over.

I also just found out about this.  I guess Twitter does have some positive uses.

I'm sure he'll be back again if they're not all dead first. But I would like to see the full line-up on tour with my mom someday.

Back when all that existed were very poorly preserved Betamax tapes, I wrote about a screening of it here.

I admit I got a litte teary-eyed at that moment. It was intense, but effortlessly. I feel like the scene just tapped into something very real.

This isn't about the show. The kids are sweethearts, and mostly seem quite well-adjusted. The issue is that Brown (who I don't think has anything to do with this herself) has a family that bankrupted itself trying to get her into Hollywood, and since the show's success has been very hamhanded with trying to power play agencies and shows to get more money. It's not doing her any favors, and she needs better management.

This is the second younger actor on the show to seem to be in a mess (although the drug guy was older so I should put that on him) and then that story came out a few weeks ago with a former employee making accusations. It's just a strange situation. But yes, Brown likely has a lot of problems elsewhere.

That story upon further exposure turned out to be very thin, at least so far. But no, Charlie Heaton is an adult who got busted with coke at the airport - that could be any TV show. Just saying, try it before you judge!

It won't happen because it affects which advertisers will allow their ads to be on this site.

Jonny got banned? I never thought I'd see that day.

As far as I can tell he hasn't posted since we took Errol to task. He may lurk but he doesn't/can't post. Oddly, neither can Jerry whatever his name was.

Good to hear there will be a season 2.

Oh, no.

The original cast tho?

Remember the Sally Struthers version playing at weird hours usually on a UHF station in the late '80's/early '90s? @Khan

Thanks. It was interesting to hear her talk about Living Single, and Hillary. I had no idea she was a surrogate.

Maybe, but those days are back! Also, that's pretty much her current uniform minus the Mar-Vell/Kree green instead of red.

After Hot Topic Wanda I don't have much faith in MCU to make the effort but hopefully it will work out.

Well, it's her actual superhero uniform so I dunno what to tell ya. I like it.

I saw that some people were upset with her comments about Faye Dunaway, but I thought she was just being honest about a life in Hollywood for actresses (although Dunaway burned a lot of bridges).

@DRW50 I don't know why people are upset about the Faye Dunaway comment. Ellen wasn't insulting Dunaway, she was stating the fact that Faye was a major star and has nothing to show for it, financially, when the men she worked for are filthy rich. Pompeo is making her money and good for her. She's one of the few, like Suzanne Somers and Joan Collins before her, whose willing to talk about what money she's making so that other actresses can know what they're actually worth.

Jamey Giddens, of all people, drew parallels from this interview to the Genie Francis situation - the thing is, he's absolutely right. Not just about how long Pompeo and Francis kept their shows and characters viable and moneymaking for more than a few years, but also in how the networks attempted to use their male leads to leverage them for the salary lowball.

 I thought that was her. 

Always nice to see OLTL stars doing well. 

Have you seen this interview with her? It's an interesting read.
