Judging from their names, perhaps we should pull them over and ask to see their papers? ;)

IIRC, there was some suggestion that somebody had rigged the Newman jet to crash, but it was all quickly forgotten.

LOL!! He THINKS he is. He even knocked up a woman (allegedly!) to prove to everyone he was straight (and made himself an even bigger religious hypocrite in the process). As if gay men can't conceive children, right, lol?

I keep hoping that all those psychos who keep invading GC are all part of Brooks Prentiss' master plan to destabilize the town, so he can then swoop in and buy it for a song. (Okay, I don't really hope that, lol).

Ten bucks says he has NO idea who any of those standing behind him are.

With all the upheavals it had to endure throughout the '80's and '90's, the fact that AW lasted as long as it did at NBC is nothing short of a miracle.

I think a major problem with the Gary/Val/Danny/Amanda storyline - aside from the obvious - is that it's hitting us too soon after Jill's reign of terror finally ends. Like, we just got rid of one psycho who tried keeping Gary and Val apart; now, we gotta deal with another!? If reuniting Gary and Val after Jill wasn't an option, then, at the very least, we needed to see the two in something that was a bit less crazy and more lighthearted, for lack of a better word, if only to give us a breather.

Primetime Soaps
Tyler Perry is a closeted, self-hating gay, who hides behind religious condemnation of other gays, rather than accept his own truths. There, I've said it. And I'm not taking it back. A typical TP scene (again, from any of his shows, 30 minutes or one-hour): A: "Get out of my house!" B: "No!" A: "I said, get out of my house!" B: "And I said no!" A: "Maybe you didn't hear me the first time: GET OUT. OF MY HOUSE." B: "And you didn't hear ME the first time: NO. And might I add: HELL NO." A: "Why can't you just get the hell out of my house?" B: "Why can't you just accept that I said 'no'?" A: "Dude! I said, get out of my house! Which part of 'get out of my house' do you not understand?" And on and on it goes for what seems like 20 minutes, before somebody gives us a break by cutting to commercial. Even worse, the episode "ends" and they are STILL arguing over why B just won't get the [!@#$%^&*] out of A's house. But, hey, all dem Jesus-lovin' grandmas out there eat that [!@#$%^&*] up with a spoon and ask for more, so who am I to judge, lol?

That's because TP's scenes (on ALL his shows, not just THATHN) are like Möbius strips: they start nowhere and finish exactly in the same place.

I think that's because Gary and Val's presence made the Wards redundant. Both couples were about the same age, and both were newlyweds, too (even though Gary and Val had been married before). Gary and Val received more attention, however, due to their connections to DALLAS.

ABC Daytime
I still think John Whitesell's intended move toward using fewer storylines and scenes per episode was smart. Like he said, SFT couldn't compete with the hour-long soaps, so why not just keep their heads down and be the best HALF-hour soap on the air instead?

If I were you, I'd keep binge-watching "Sisters." Even at its' weakest, it's still more gratifying than anything Tyler Perry has dreamed up. (Of course, YMMV, lol).

Dallas Discussion Thread
Between the DALLAS/"Dukes of Hazzard" one-two punch on Fridays and the classic "Alice"/"The Jeffersons"/"One Day at a Time"/"Archie Bunker's Place" lineup on Sundays - not to mention, "60 Minutes" on Sundays - CBS was killing it. Only four non-CBS shows made the Top 10; and of those four, three were sitcoms (although, you could argue that "The Love Boat" was a sitcom/drama hybrid) and all were on ABC. In fact, only one NBC series made the Top 20, and that was (gulp) "Little House on the Prairie."

I see what you mean: a cross between the kind of actors you'd see on a MTM-produced show and the ones you'd see on, well, on one of Aaron Spelling's shows.

I think the official story was that Dano was still grieving her husband's death and wasn't able to continue. Of course, that could've been just a cover, lol.

LOL! Yeah, someone at "SCTV" had to have been a devoted P&G soap fan. DOTW was entirely too similar to the P&G shows of that era to have been just a coincidence.
