Frank and his team need to take a page from the late Gloria Monty's book and follow the great romantic comedies of the '30's and '40's. Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda oozed sexual tension in Preston Sturges' classic "The Lady Eve," yet I don't think she did anything more to him besides play with his ear while the two sat on a couch!

Honestly, most of primetime today looks uninspired, generic and poorly produced.

People all over the globe watched the original series for one thing - well, TWO things, if you wanna get technical about it - and the quality of writing and acting was not one of 'em, lol. So, yeah, I agree: if you're gonna do this at all, then it has to center around Hobie (and some very gorgeous, young men and women, of course, lol). Frankly, I just hope this doesn't become so successful for FOX that they think they've got another franchise on their hands and start spinoff-ing the hell out of it. The last time someone tried to spin-off "Baywatch," we ended up with "Baywatch Nights."

IIRC, TPTB blamed Korver for the Chris/Abigail pairing not sparking and suggested he didn't share ANY chemistry with ANY female on the show. That's why they let him go.

That broke my heart as well. I believe she truly enjoyed bringing fun and laughter into viewers' lives everyday - which, to me, is a very sacred thing. To have all that taken from her (and be reduced to destitution) by someone so vindictive is just so unfair. But I pray she does find peace within herself and the strength not to let it ruin the rest of her life. And I hope she knows just how much viewers miss her to this day.

ICAM!! At the very least, GH's writers just should avoid writing scenes for BLQ/Chase that involve intimacy or various states of undress. Stop giving us "I Married an Inuit" and pretending like that is totally normal for their show and that couple.

"Nothing is Easy" might be the best way to describe CBS's programming woes throughout the '80's, lol.

I never thought of it like that, @All My Shadows . It totally makes sense to me, too. How did you feel about "Super Password," hosted by Bert Convy?

Frankly, I don't think Carol's vision for a MF continuation would've been sustainable...but that's for another thread, lol.

See what I added above, lol.

She makes Queen Victoria look like a pole dancer. And before someone gets on their high horse: no, I am not mocking Amanda Setton's faith. But the show cannot have Josh Swickard, stripped to the waist, lying in bed next to his on-screen wife, who's wearing the latest sleepwear from the Nanook of the North collection, without providing SOME cover for it. You could say BLQ has body image issues, or she doesn't fully trust her husband, or it's just so damn chilly in that Quartermaine mansion and tightwad Tracy won't turn up the [!@#$%^&*] heat, but say something, GH!

You just know more than one person is out there, watching GH and wondering whether BLQ or Amanda Setton is married to someone from the Taliban.

Apparently, all roads in Hollywood led back to Dian Parkinson (and to Linda Thompson). I'm not surprised to hear about her and Joe Hamilton, though. I think it's well-known by now that he constantly cheated on Carol with showgirls he'd meet on her show and whatnot.

I just hate that whole storyline from beginning to end. All of a sudden, Ben Gibson has a super-spy past; and the reason why he is being pressured to kill Greg Sumner - and not, say, Mack Mackenzie, who has an actual, contentious past with the man - is because...? If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: I'll go wherever you want me to go with your characters, but you gotta take the steps to GET me there.

And there, in the front row at his funeral, will sit BLQ, dressed like Aunt Pittypat Hamilton.

It reminds me of when Melody Thomas Scott was, like, 40% out the door at Y&R, due to negotiations breaking down between her team and the show. Obviously, everything got ironed out, but not before her "final" scenes (with either the Y&R theme or "Bless the Beasts and Children" playing underneath) were taped and ready to air. Kinda made all the "Nikki says goodbye to Genoa City" teasers seem real anticlimactic, lol.

Greg tried to be Barbara Walters...and ended up looking like Phyllis George.

Oh, please, GH writers, PLEASE make that happen, lol!

All we need now is Megan McTavish's PEOPLE cover, with the caption: "Those Two B***hes Are Dead to Me!"

ICAM! I haven't watched much of BTVS (or "Angel") in a very long time either, but that's due to personal reasons I'd rather not get into on this board.

I wonder that myself. Younger audiences, I have found, display a much lower tolerance for b.s. You can't "fake it," because they'll KNOW it; and all you have to do is to look at the longevity of entertainers like Carroll Spiney and Fred Rogers to know what I'm talking about. Janice and Dian were fantasy women in every sense of the term, but Holly came across more as someone you knew or would like to know. IMO, that's the most important factor to have in someone whom you're essentially welcoming into your home five days a week. That's why it breaks my heart to see how much Bob Barker in particular has devastated Holly, both professionally and personally. If anyone deserves to have a happy ending after the way she has been treated by a horrific boss, it's Holly.

In a way, I get why S6 had to "go dark." After all, Buffy HAD died (and gone to Heaven) and she WAS buried - not for a few days, or a few weeks, but for MONTHS. Not even the Chosen One could shake that off and carry on as if nothing had changed. Even if I were to concede that the end of S5 necessitated a darker tone for S6, however, I still think S6 became almost oppressive and nihilistic, which is just not enjoyable to watch every week. For me, there has to be some balance. And I'm not even gonna TOUCH anything related to Spike, lol. Except, the major issue with S7, at least for me, was that, as far as Big Bads went, the First was nebulous, for lack of a better word, to the point of being anticlimactic.

I seem to recall an episode where Jason, Spinelli and I think Sam gave that MonaVie [!@#$%^&*] to someone who was unconscious or whatever. At the time, as I watching that, I thought ABC was taking an enormous risk by aiding and abetting what was clearly a Ponzi scheme on Burton's part, lol.

LOL!! Boy, those were the days. Before Nashville became NashVegas, and country music turned into utter crap.

No. Absolutely not. William deVry must never appear on any soap ever again.
