I hated the Try Me promos…LOL

I was about to post this. I wonder if she is friends with GMA Ginger Zee? Everytime Ginger danced the camera went to Kimberlin.

Sasha beats Grigor…..Grigor looked lost and at the same time seemed like he didnt care anymore after shaking hands with Sasha.

Sasha is all over Grigor….Grigor looks completely lost and just deflated …he needs to fire his coach…his game has gotten worse.

I guess Amelie wants to spend more time with her son. Thiem wins again! A match away from maybe playing Roger.

Matthew Morrison-ex Adam Hughes was on last night's series finale of The Good Wife.

I hadn't heard this song in years. I love this song! I remember when I first heard it and thought it was Taylor Dayne singing it.

New graphics with the old theme…this is what they should have used the last few years... And the new opening….

Well day one of the Italian over….started a day sooner…instead of Monday…just dumb IMO and all American male tennis players gone..not surprised…Johnson lost….Sam Q lost…only one left is Jack Sock but I am sure he will lose tomorrow….LOL. Joker beats Murray in 3 in Madrid…but I don't think Joker played that great IMO...

I hated it. I at least want to see the world spin around and space or whatever. Only reason I loved the cornfield opening was the theme and graphics. it's too bad they never released a second version with the other characters Which one the cornfield opening or the blue/orange opening?

The tournament actually starts tomorrow…I hate that because it won't be televised on TV unless ESPN3 has it?

Yes, that's the flush opening. At the time they said that the "flush opening" was too expensive to maintain and thus they got rid of it and went to a cheap bottom of the barrel opening. I thought the opening minus the flush added some punch to the show.

First Round Italian Open starting on Monday…Alexander Zverev vs Grigor Dimitrov …winner to play Roger in 2nd round….

Why did I think the church fire was Jessica Klein's story? I didn't remember it being Broderick and FMB story.

I used this theme on my blog that I was doing here awhile back--do you think this version would've been suitable? SN: This YT poster has done modern version of Y&R, GL, AW, and other soap themes too. Should check them out. That probably would've been better. I did thought like the 1993 opening and it showing all the seasons. I wonder how it would've mashed up with the 1986 theme, as I hated the 89 theme of ATWT. Ive seen that closing and love it…that should have been the 2001 ending graphics with just a few nip and tucks touch ups…the music is much better than the flush but it still sounds too generic…so it would need some tuning…sounds like a version I have from a cassette I bought back in the day of soap themes. And the ONE thing I missed the most from the rest of the closings and openings was the first few seconds of the spinning sound of the globe..that was classic…One LIfe to Live tried copying it with their opening….. It was also on the oltl closing credits ….by then ATWT was almost done with on and on theme….

It reminded me too much of Y&R. Funny how years earlier I wondered how ATWT would sound with Y&R music behind their graphics….I was so use to the fast pace music. I don't recall the reaction by fans to the new music. I am sure it was discussed in the mags by fans of the show.

The flushing opening was ok ….I loved the graphics but they should have gone back to the 85 opening music with an update on it….without the flush…and by then there was no closing credits although if fans purchased the dvds you can see the closing to the flush opening….again great graphics but the theme music could have been done better.

If I had the finances I'd move heaven and earth to get ATWT back on the air somehow on another network or maybe a spinoff of ATWT with most of the characters…vets of course and those who left that Id love to see back again. I'd bring back the 1985 opening and closing with the original classic globe spinning. I can't believe I stomached all the new openings and closings from late 93 and on…..the final years were tragic…with the cornfield opening and the last season with a simple small globe with no actual music….it was just terrible.

Good question. Many believe Wendy Riche (GH) might have made for a good EP. However, I might have gone in a different direction and hired someone like Edward Scott (Y&R, B&B). And if I couldn't have persuaded Nancy Curlee (GL) to come out of retirement, or Kay Alden (Y&R) to set aside whatever issues she might have had with Scott when the two worked together at Y&R, then I might have thought outside the box and hired a novelist such as Richard Russo or Jane Smiley. After all, CBS' Lucy Johnson had wanted August Wilson to succeed Marland (allegedly) and although I'm not entirely sure that's true, if it WERE true, I think it would have been a step in the right direction. True dat. That's true as well. I mean, forget about attempting to usher in a new golden era for that particular show. You would have needed to junk about 90 percent of the regular cast AND re-revamp the entire production model (a more definite hybrid of studio and on-location taping with someone in charge who knew how to pull it together and make it more economically feasible) just to make the damn thing watchable again. I would have brought back Robert Calhoun as EP and fired Caso once ATWT became stale…..I would have rehired Susan Bedsow Horgan. I liked her ATWT….I am not sure if it would have saved the show but at least both EP and HW had history with the show.
