Now I wish John Cena's fine self WOULD make a guest appearance on Y&R (because, even I have my weak moments, lol).

The Politics Thread
As soon as I heard that a "mentalist" (and not a comedian/comedienne) was hosting, I knew it was gonna be a real s**tshow.

Time Slot Hits
To me, "Home Improvement" was like "Everybody Loves Raymond": a long-running, highly rated series that no one claims to have watched, lol.

Ratings from the 1990s
Look at "Murder, She Wrote": eight years in, and the show is still ranking in the top 5, with only "Roseanne," "Home Improvement," "60 Minutes" and "Coach" doing better. I agree. Both shows had seen better days from a creative standpoint. Their move to Saturdays was just ABC's way to justify cancelling them.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's
Between "The Boy Who Drank Too Much" and "Sarah T.: Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic," not to mention all the other, "Afterschool Special"-esque melodramas about teenage drinking, it was enough to make ME wanna take a drink!

ARTICLE: ‘NBC News Daily’ Soars In Key Demos, ‘General Hospital’ Up Among Viewers – RATINGS
I think JER had intended PASSIONS to carry a sort of PEYTON PLACE-meets-"Twin Peaks" vibe that sadly just melted away as he realized the casting and his own writing weren't up to par. If NBC/Peacock were to revive or reboot PASSIONS, I'd want them to try again for that vibe, but treat it seriously this time around and not allow it to fall to the "Saved by the Bell"-level camp that ultimately killed the original series. As my own mother tells me all the time: "If you're gonna do something, do it right!"

ATWT's resident kidnap victim, Lily Walsh Snyder, missed a golden opportunity not developing such a product, lol.

Thanks, @janea4old , for the article! I hear all the time from people who are concerned about how the war in Iran has affected our already fragile economy; and all I can say is, "Well, this is what the majority of you voted for!"

Loving/The City Discussion Thread
Maybe - maybe - if Agnes Nixon had had Wisner Washam or Lorraine Broderick to take over at some point as HW, LOVING might have turned around. But that's a big maybe, lol.

Donna Mills would've made a good Gladdy Gold.

ALL: Proposed Soaps Over The Years
A soap based on "Written on the Wind" would've been amazing, lol.

Melrose Place
I'm glad to see they included Vanessa E. Williams. MP retrospectives tend to hand-wave the pre-Locklear era away, IMO.

My bad. Yeah, that would be a low point for DT. But, at least he'll have the towel he swiped from GF's dressing room to cry into?
