Dynasty Discussion Thread
I think we're reading much too much into these paper-thin characters with their equally paper-thin motivations for doing anything. Blake dumped Alexis, because Alexis was carrying on with Roger Grimes; and Alexis was carrying on with Roger Grimes, because his penis was hot and ready. The end.

And you have the mayor -- who's been sort of a disappointment to me, quite frankly -- siding with the 31%. Madness.

Seriously, wtf are Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema doing serving as Democrats!?

The Media/Journalism Thread
IOW, the media tried to control the American public, instead of just reporting the news. Man, I am so sick of the media. The mainstream media AND the fringe media.

Meanwhile, Josh Hawley's flying paper airplanes and Rand Paul's drawing an erotic sketch he calls "Swingin' in the Rain."- The Media/Journalism Thread
Good! She's been a cancer on the profession since "60 Minutes." Jan Hooks' impression of her on SNL was deservedly scathing.- Hollywood Sexual Harrasment/Assault Thread
And all that from someone (Joss) who is supposed to be all about female empowerment. What a crock.- Whitney Houston dead at 48!
And then there was the time Diane Sawyer thought it'd be cute to have on Michael Jackson and then-wife Lisa Marie Presley for an interview that just reinforced everyone's worst suspicions about the couple.- The Politics Thread
Jen Psaki is KILLING it. That's all.- As The World Turns Discussion Thread
Best of all, Eric Sheffer Stevens appeared to be WAY more comfortable "playing gay" than Jake Silbermann ever did.- The Politics Thread
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS. My brother gets the bulk of his "news" from GP, so it's awesome to read this news!- Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread

I don't know if Fox News/Fox Business would be "done," but I do think they would HAVE to start being more careful tossing around baseless allegations like they do. They'd have to become more...dare I say...responsible?- Fun with contracts!
And who could blame him? Not that ABC had what you'd call "quality programming" back then; their lineup was, well, junk.- Melrose Place
I hope you will check it out, if/when it's ever made available on streaming. Even today, you can feel KL's influence on many shows. It was the kind of show that often transcended from good soap opera into good drama, period.- The Politics Thread

The more you look into it, the more QAnon takes on the look and feel of a Thomas Pynchon novel.- Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman remake eyed
Ironically, no Norman Lear-produced '70's sitcom speaks to our times MORE than the short-lived "All's Fair," which starred Richard Crenna, Bernadette Peters and a very young Michael Keaton; and ran during the 1976-77 season.- As The World Turns Discussion Thread
In a way, I get where TPTB were coming from. At that time, the general public knew so little about AIDS, and they understood even less. Most just assumed that gays and POC were the only ones susceptible to it. But, by showing that, in fact, ANY one, even a straight white man or woman, is susceptible to contracting AIDS, they were able to better inform viewers the realities. Otherwise, if they show a gay person or a person of color dying from the virus, they run the risk of reinforcing viewers' misconceptions, which (as recent events have shown us) is something you DON'T want to do during a public health crisis. As wonderful as that "Designing Women" episode about the AIDS crisis was (and still is) to watch, I think it misses something by having a gay man be the one who ultimately succumbs to the virus, despite the fact that AIDS first showed up in the LGBTQ community and that they were hit hardest by it (especially during the Reagan administration). Linda Bloodworth-Thomason did her best to tell her audience the truth about the virus, but I always worry whether the story's outcome (namely, a gay man has contracted AIDS; and now, a gay man is dying from it) actually opened the minds of any real-life Imogene Salingers out there. I think many, if they're even watching at all, reach the conclusion that "they still got what they deserve!" and think no more of it.- The Politics Thread
Well, I could have told him that on Inauguration Day!- YR: You're Fired! Actor out ...
Some of you insist that MO being capable of headlining romantic and/or business stories. I just don't agree. - Days: February 2021 Discussion Thread
