The first clip (re Lily's mom alcoholism) says it's from the first episode--I wonder if the postr has the full episode and could be politely persuaded to post it all or just has her mother's scenes. (I have seen the pilot movie, with Lloyd Bridges or whoever and Geraldine Page -- which aired in primetime the night before--though I wish I could see that again as well)

The way I had read it I assumed Lily's incest story was dropped altogether--I'm glad it at least got some sort of payoff in the court scenes. the first year or half year of Loving seems very good to me--a good mix of old school AMC (which I think was part of Agnes Nixon's concept for creating it--and may have been its undoing as no one really wanted early 70s style AMC as a soap by then) with some of Marland's trademarks.

It does seem in the 90s, with Addie Walsh and then Agnes writing in a way they returned to this style--the show at least seems more like the very early Loving I've seen in feel in those 93-94 eps than the 1987 Loving clips here (when one of the writers was Amy Lippman who went on to create Party of Five).

Wow thanks for those clips! So that was some of the infamous incest storyline they were apparently forced to botch?

And some random crappy video of Ava from '88

More classic Loving has been posted, for those who may not have seen Luke Perry!

I had never seen a preview or anything for it before!

(third one on here)

I'm disappointed none of the AMC cross over that got me hooked on Loving, with Carter Jones (john wesley shipp) etc has made it to youtube--actually none of that story on AMC has made it either.

The clips are from 1985 and 1986. The clip you've posted is probably the Monday episode directly following the full English episode in which Ava announces her marriage to Curtis.

HAH I didn't even notice that--it does seem to be pretty close!

Awww all the stories that The City coulda gone on with

LOVE the Bad Seed--that's great. I always like it when stars tell of good experiences at their soaps lol.

I have such a hate on for Lipton that this show has never had ANY interest for me--and while out of soaps from that 10 year era I'm still more sdesperate to see ANY of Where the Heart Is and Friends and Lovers/For RIcher for Poorer, I have to admit these promos have me very interested in seeing more. It feels like a very sophisticated show for its time, maybe too sophisticated (especially for an early morning time slot). Just compare it to this promo for AMC at the same time (which is I admit a GREAT promo--it woulda hooked me)

I've never thought much of this soap seeing as it was created by the awful James Lipton (soap killer extraordinare, Broadway musical writing hack, who now inexplicably, and famously, hosts, along with his massive ego, Inside the Actor's Studio) but I admit these youtube promos intrigue me--it seemed pretty racy for 1970 and had a very strong cast (lotsa Oscar talent). Was it canceled just cuz itand World Apart didn't do as well as AMC out of te new ABC 1970 soaps?

Out of boredome was trolling youtube for more Loving clips (it can be hard to find something as genericlly named as Loving lol) and got all excited to find all the ones this guy posted, only to find out they're not in English. Not sure what era they're from (late 80s early 90s?) Early 90s I think cuz it seems to be Jack and Stacey the first time around

I hate reading his interviews (especially as he mentioned in the past that he NEVER watched Loving, and now is acting liek a huge fan lol) but I gotta read--I assumed she left on her own too. In hindsight IMHo it was a mistake but maybe with diva Morgan fairchild coming on and the desire to really shake up the cast (none of the really core Corinth family members made the move) they thought to drop her

HAHA thanks--you're too good to me HAHAH Dei Pini used Simply Red as its theme!

LOL Oh I was still using the old way from a few years back-- that's much easier to remember lol

Well then I'm in that minority with you I have the Loving pilot TV movie and 2 90s eps and one 80s one on .rm media somewhere--I'll try to find it and maybe get it on youtube if I can figure it out...

SIGH I give up doesn't seem to want me to embed though I think I'm doing it right . Here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3lbj6MOriQ And Faltermeyer must have been hired as some sort of promotion--he did a whole soundtrack with some of the love themes (sung in English--0super dated) and score that is up on youtube: Roman and Diana's theme http://www.youtube.com/user/RomanDianaFan29#p/u/4/1mIfIAJhut0 This user has them all http://www.youtube.com/user/RomanDianaFan29#p/u/4/1mIfIAJhut0 (Zeit der Sehnsucht soundtrack)

HAHA found some.

Here's the full version of his theme song (which is VERY mid 80s synth--sounds a bit like his movie themes lol very dated but I kinda like it... lol)

I actually have this album it's on--his greatrest hits and didnt really realize where the track was from...

I believe they had a different dub for Quebecois france--we still get Y&R and B&B int he afternoons and B&B is called Top Models I believe (like that--in English as it's common slang...) I always see it in the tv listings and briefly wonder what show that is... Loving was big in France and Italy I know can't remember the name (Italy had AMC for a long time as Pine Valley though--well except whatever Pine Valley is in Italian)

A full episode and a bit more were posted a while back, but I just found them now, on youtube from the 1994 era when Agnes Nixon briefly returned as HW (which at the time I really loved).

(Part 1 of 6 parts I think)

DAYS wanted to seem more modern I think--so updated their scores more (I mean B&B still looks like a show from 1989...)

In Germany where Days was apparantly massive in the 80s, and I think other areas in Europe, they actually at some cost had film composer Harold Faltermeyer rescore the show (Faltermeyer is famous for his disco work in the 70s--as arranger on many Donna Summer albums but in the 80s he did many film scores oin synths including Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop where his ubuquitous Axel F theme came from--as well as producing a Pet Shop Boys album and other hits). I've always wanted to hear some of his work for the show--it seems so odd they got him to do it, though I know he used the gorgeous little known \Donna Summer ballad he produced in 87, Fascination, as a love theme on the show which gave it some chart success there.

Wha wha what? I have to wait *2* months?

I'm loving the show more and more but again--they bring a character back interestingly, this time Logan and then kill him off in the SAME episode. Are we gonna have a vampire character die EVERY week?

I have one complaint--yet again it seemslike we're just getting to know a character (Stefan's vamp friend) and then she's killed off! It's starting to become almost too expected someone "major" will be killed each week lol

Thanks Toups, so she was supposed to turn to dust, were they afraid it would be too much like Buffy? I hope they don't bring her back as fake deaths are dumb.

I haven't been reading online articles about the show, but has there been any discussion of the teenage drinking? Every week they are at some party getting drunk.

I think people accept it on these teen shows now--certainly it doesn't strike me as much different from anything we see One Tree Hill, OC, 90210 (Dawson'setc) if anything there's signifcantly less of it lol

I actually prefer the idea of Jeremy killing her... Still, terrific episode. I love the high school gothic tone this show is getting.

No talk about the last ep?

This is a show I didn't expect to like but I was curous to see Kevin Williamson's take on vamps (and adapting an apparantly popular YA series) and I got sucked in. While I have many quibbles, what I love about it is its moody, even slow atmosphere which is not at all what I expected. Here in Canada I can watch it on Thursdays at 7, Fast Forward at 8 and Fringe at 9 and, surprisingly to me, I lately find myself enjoying VD far more than the other two

I'll certainly take witches and vampires over vampires and maynars (True Blood)! LOL

You leave my fave maenads alone

No but I love that:D thanks
