Thanks as always, @JAS0N47! So, there was a time when Doug's Place/Blondie's AND Shenanigans co-existed? Just shows to go you how far DAYS has fallen budget-wise. Today, if it ain't happenin' in the center of Horton Town Square.... It was moved to @Soapsuds's basement. (I'm kidding, SS!)

Oh, God, another, potential Adam recast.

That sounds pretty interesting!

See, I've always thought that Shenanigans begat Blondie's, which begat Wings, which begat...well, I stopped keeping track after that...and that Doug's Place (or, the "By the Lake" version) was just gone at some point, like the Body Connection, or Suzanne Rogers' original cheekbones.

And I would throw you back in the closet if you tried.

Agree.

Seriously, WTF is that? His tux makes Calliope's wedding dress look tasteful and demure. Beetlejuice would look better than Leo. Richard Bloore is trolling our asses and it's pissing me off! It looks really stupid for EM and GV to hand their hands in their pockets simultaneously. Just saying.

Leonard Katzman must have been royally pissed at Victoria Principal for leaving to come up with an exit that heinous.

It's like a Nazi doing a centerfold.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again: it'll be a long, long, LONG time before the Academy allows another person of color to produce the Oscars.

They would if they hadn't spent so much dough on Leo's ridiculous tuxedo.

Nah, I still think Ashland's the one who killed Rey and he's just framing Victoria.

If Wings started out as Doug's Place, what happened to Shenanigans?

I can see it now: "Tony Danza IN as Y&R's Tiny!"

So much of the Rey/Chelsea and Ashland/Victoria storylines and how they will intersect feels so clumsy to me. Has Josh Griffith truly forgotten how to write a story?

Seriously, why is this show still pretending Chad isn't at least bisexual if not totally gay?

I think "Alice" and "The Jeffersons" stayed on maybe a year or two longer than they should have. Man, this is taking me back. So many shows that I remember watching every week. I miss those days of TV a lot.

Corbin Bernsen was certainly a looker BITD. But he actually started on RH, not ATWT.

I mean, Pamela didn't even try and pump her brakes, lol.

With any luck, he will be. But I must admit that I've had this idea of Sharon shocked to see Dylan again -- not just b/c he's back in GC, but also because he's put on a ton of weight since he entered the Federal Witness Relocation Program (with the explanation that he's been working at a bakery). Dylan would hope he and Sharon could pick up where they left off now that the people who were after him have been caught and/or killed, but could Sharon look past his physical changes and rediscover what she once loved about him?

And then you had Jean Louisa Kelly, who had the personality of a jar of mayonnaise. I tell you, those four (Clark, Kelly, O'Malley and Snyder) were LUCKY to be on a show that ran for six episodes, much less six seasons. I don't remember too many of the details surrounding Burt and Loni's breakup. I just remember it being very messy and sad; and I worried, too, how their son, Quinton, would be able to handle it all as he grew older and inevitably became more aware as to why his parents were no longer together.

Hugh Wilson declined to participate in "The New WKRP in Cincinnati." That right there should have been a warning sign to everyone involved with that misguided project. No, you're right, the "Yes, Dear" cast did, at one point, spar with their critics - of which, there were many, lol. The cast was basically defending the indefensible, however. IMO, Jim Belushi has always been a better dramatic actor than comedic.

Such a bleak period in the history of US sitcoms, lol. Agree.

Wow. I think I might have read about that some time ago, but I had let it slip from my memory. Still, wow. Thanks, @DRW50.
