I loved Paula Cwikly and Peter Brash's work in 2002 and early 2003. This sounds promising. And yes, this is needed. Carlivati only has so many tricks that he repeats over and over. Sometimes I wonder how much better a Possession 2.0 would've been under someone else's pen. We knew they'd revisit it one day; it's just a shame it was done in such a jokey, gimmicky, unserious manner.

I can't wait to see Kamala wipe the floor with him come debate time (she's already said yes to having one).

Well, well, looks like Saved by the Bell indeed became a heavy hitter in the ratings by their 3rd season.

Finally saw the scenes with Kevin and Gloria Leo and Diana in prison and wow, one minute you'd think someone was sprinkling holy water on a possessed Diana and the next she was channeling a performance from Jessica Lange. I actually enjoy Judith Chapman as an actress; that said, it felt like an episode specifically made for Emmy material for Greg Rikaart and a Special Guest Star Emmy for Chapman. I almost expected Heather Tom to show up since B&B loves to give her one solid "Emmy episode" per year.

100% chihuahua. We have 3 toy chihuahuas now. Sadly, our mini schnauzer in my avatar photo is no longer with us 😔

Haha thanks! I did this same exact shot exactly 4 years ago and in the same spot, so I did a recreation of a recreation. The Ryan's Hope openings always had someone with their arms stretched up so I felt inspired.

@te. Thanks for posting all these!

Oh really? Ugh that bursts the whole bubble of the "reality" of any of it. Wow. Oh well, at least the core women of that show are actual friends.

Exactly! Why not cash in on some goodhearted nostalgia?

I listened to it and loved it! Looking forward to them going through the individual episodes, with special guest stars to appear sometimes. Sounds like Andrew Shue will be the first up.

Soaps used to be ahead of the times; now they're behind. Tate and Holly secretly communicate through MySpace.

Thanks for sharing! On a similar note, with Chicago being ABC dominant, I'd be curious to see how badly Guiding Light did up against the mighty Oprah at 9am once GL switched to the morning in 1997. Also, when DAYS was at its mid-90's height, it aired at 11am opposite Loving/The City/PC and Y&R/Local News.

:::Crickets::: Uh oh, where is everyone? I haven't caught up on the dark cloud that is New Jersey just yet, but I saw the preview of OC where Shannon continues to drink and lives in a state of delusion that she doesn't have a problem with alcohol. In other news, word on the street is they're trying to salvage Atlanta, with Cynthia Bailey filming more and rumors of a return from Phaedra. So we'd be seeing her on both RHOA and Married to Medicine? (Perhaps she could just be phased out of M2M...)

I'd like to see protesters with signs calling him out on being a child molester of 12-year-old girls.

Wondering too. I remember the cast saying once that every year they didn't know if they'd get picked up for the next season. IMO, I would think the show finally took off by season 3 ('91-'92) when they started adding more episodes outside of the school (Beach episodes, Palm Springs, murder mystery etc.) and then you had the addition of California Dreams to follow after Bell.

Agreed, I love re-watching some MP, especially the first 3.5 seasons. I haven't listened to any rewatch podcasts of any other shows (including Housewives) but I'll definitely be listening to this!

Also from the Chicago area, and from what I understand, our local ABC (WLS) was always the top-rated local network, starting with Oprah at 9am and it stayed No. 1 throughout the daytime, with even shows like Loving beating Y&R.

Jenn Fessler, yet another one to suffer the second season curse. She looked like a total clown (she's got the ears for it) defending Jenn Aydin. I will say, though, I did kinda enjoy seeing the newer women and friends-of interacting with one another at Danielle's event... They really could do a Loving becomes The City and take all the newer women and build next season around them and let the old guard go.

I mean, at this point, Biden has the ability, authority, and immunity to hold onto power in November, even if he loses, correct? He has immunity to wipe out his political opponent, all Trump appointed judges, hell even all Republican members of congress... all in the name of protecting the good ol' US of A. They're ALL a threat to democracy. Side note: What's the best city in Canada to live in? At this point, I am preparing for the worst which means having an escape plan I can put into place before January 20th.

They really need to put some love, attention, money, and well-mapped long-range solid storytelling into Y&R and B&B to beef up their soap line-up. The more eyeballs that get used to coming back to those shows, the better the chance of getting them to sample The Gates or at least see some ample promotion to get them intrigued.

Man, I forgot most of that. It's hard to visualize when all of it likely took place in the same blue room, just with the trash can moved to the opposite side in some settings.

Yes, it's mainly DAYS and B&B (with 1 or 2 weeks of AMC inching up there) battling it for No. 2 from August '95 through February '96 when DAYS begins its streak that doesn't end until December '97. I remember the most random things, lol.

Ohhhh, okay I remember those. I thought it might have to do with barely legal twink-boy interns in the offices at Bravo 😂

... and the finale of the Possession, along with the Carrie/Austin botched wedding by Sami, Peter Reckell's return, etc. puts DAYS nicely at No. 2 for the whole four-week stretch. It's because this is exactly when I started watching DAYS and we were a Nielsen family. J/K

So RHOBH will be the Y&R of Housewives. BTW, what are the Andy allegations? I actually haven't heard of any.
