The Politics Thread
That was my suspicion as well. As much as the GOP would love to pin this on the left and get the rest of the country riled up against the Democrats, the truth is, we're not crazy enough to stoop so low, no matter HOW repulsed we are by Kirk and his ilk.

RIP: In Memoriam Thread
I still remember that morning, getting dressed to attend my morning classes where I was earning my undergrad degree at the time, and Mama Khan coming in my room to tell me that someone had flown a plane into the WTC and that "the guy who played Frasier" was among those killed. (Of course, she misheard that last part. It wasn't Kelsey Grammer who was killed but one of his show's co-creators and EP's, David Angell).

The Politics Thread
"Great," I said, when I heard the news, "just what the right-wing needed: a g*ddamn martyr." I, too, am not shedding any tears over his assassination. I'm not even sure whether I can muster any sympathy for his loved ones, because it's clear something or someone made him who and what he was. I mean, you don't learn to hate as many as he did on your own; you have to be perfectly taught. If I'm sorry for anyone, it's for those who will suffer because of the right-wing's need for retribution. If those of us who'd been marginalized by their agendas weren't in peril before....!

ALL: Returns That Fizzled
Yeah, I don't blame KZ for GL's cancellation. That show was in danger long before she returned. As others have said, though, it's a miracle that it lingered on for as long as it did before somebody remembered to cancel it.

Knots Landing
It amazes me how Clint and Lisa Hartman Black have managed to stay together for so long in an industry where long-lasting relationships are anathema (sp?).

Too bad they couldn't get Robert Vaughn to join when his former co-star, David McCallum, was on as that Maurice Vermeil character, lol.

ALL: Returns That Fizzled
I wasn't so much sad to see Gabrielle go as I was sad to see how she written out. I mean, wasn't she strangled next to a toilet or something?

ALL: Returns That Fizzled
Lisa Brown and Michael Tylo's return to GL. The minute I heard that Quint had cheated on Nola, I knew they were doomed.

So, someone has finally put a bullet in Drew Cain's smarmy game show host ass. 'Bout damn time.

NBC Daytime
I've always suspected those (C-P's resistance and the lack of bigger studio space) were the reasons why TD never expanded as well.

Guiding Light Discussion Thread
I can't speak for all fans, but I know I hated it, especially because it didn't make sense for Nola to become so obsessed over someone like Buzz. He wasn't her type. And even in her darkest moments, when she was messing with Morgan's head and letting Kelly and everyone else believe he was her baby daddy, she never crossed the line into outright stalking him.

ARTICLE: ‘Desperate Housewives’ Creator Marc Cherry Details Evolution Of Writing Career On ‘Soapy Hosted By Rebecca Budig And Greg Rikaart’ (EXCLUSIVE)
I'm not sure how I feel about that. I mean, sure, anything to replace GMA3; but, OTOH, I'm not a Marc Cherry fan, so I don't know whether I'd want to watch.

Did Gloria Monty destroy daytime? Frankly, I don't think so. All she was trying to do was save a dying show (GH). It's not her fault that TPTB at other shows decided to replicate her formula. In fact, I'm not 100% sure, but I think I read somewhere years ago a quote from Gloria Monty where she said it was never her intention for the rest of daytime to follow her lead, only to think outside the proverbial box, because audiences were savvier than in years past and didn't want to watch the same-old boring stuff.

RIP: In Memoriam Thread
You know what I'll always remember about Loni (aside from her fantastic turn on "WKRP")? Many years ago, when "Live with Kelly & Mark" was still "Live with Regis & Kathie Lee," Loni, who was a guest host one day, talked enthusiastically about her grandchild, proudly referring to herself as "Grandma Loni." You don't see too many actresses on TV who are willing to admit they are grandmothers IRL, lol.

It's still weird that AE is no longer with us. I agree.

That IS sad news. Danielle Spencer, Mabel King and Shirley Hemphill were such integral parts to "What's Happening!!"'s success. Spencer, in particular, had extraordinary comedic timing for an actor of her age. Nobody, but nobody, could deliver a sarcastic retort better than she could. She will be missed.
