In the long run, Jensen Ackles was smart to leave when he did, but I feel like going from Eric to Austin didn't do Greta any favors. And wasn't there a period where she was attracted to Jack? Or was it a bit like the old school Jack and Isabella friendship?

That cast photo is from New Year's Eve 1993.

Thanks, @DRW50!

We'll always have Airport '77.

Now, if I was Agnes, I'd have given her the biggest grin and told her to take her disrespectful self outta my writing room. "And your hair looks like sh*t, too."

How close was this to Viki and Joe finding out he was terminally ill? I ask because that might have fueled Joe not having any patience for Tina.

I'm torn about Nancy's drunkenness and striptease in this 1999 episode. On the one hand, this episode served as some much-needed karma for Craig and Nancy, and things are escalating up to Ali's imminent departure. On the other hand, this type of shenanigans is what I was thinking of when I appreciated Patrika Darbo's work on General Hospital in 1986 where she could do comedy and it wouldn't feel like it was at her expense. I guess DOOL threaded the needle okay, since Patrika/Nancy doesn't actually take off her clothes, and the laughs are also on Craig and Brandon*, but it still makes me a little uncomfortable. *If we were in Reilly 2.0 or Carlivati, there's no way Matt Cedeño wouldn't have been stripped for real.

Thanks, @slick jones. The Verdict is a great movie all around, and if the SAG Awards were around in '82, it would have been a contender for the Best Ensemble award.

Well, I see it was a cold day on the set in '84. Get it, Amy.

The care shows. It really does. @DRW50 @Vee @titan1978 @Khan @Jdee43 @carolineg, et al. -- I'm hoping to revive my 1986 commentary. I was able to watch June 9-13, 1986. It's nice to have a week where one single story isn't dominating, although Buzz Gets Brained and the lead-up to the Frisco & Felicia wedding are pretty neck and neck for airtime. (Oh, "joy.")

And another piece of Aunt Charlene's past is revealed ... she was married to a man named Roscoe. We'll have to see if this was Colton's dad or Decker's. Wow, that was one awkward kiss between Tony and Lucy.

Seriously. Forgive the lame pun, but Kaye was also boxing above her weight class, going after the alpha female star of DOOL at the time.

Or Carrie Fisher in Soapdish.

Hayden could maybe get in on the grounds of Remember the Titans.

Probably because of how short-lived it was, I have no memory of actually watching Over the Top. I know I knew of it, because I saw the listing in the TV Guide Fall Preview (and back in 1997, the likes of Luke Tarsitano and Marla Sokoloff were bigger draws for kid me). I guess I was still doing homework until Home Improvement came on.
