Just ask Elizabeth Taylor!

ICAM!!

We're seriously at the point where viewers need to donate their old clothes (and wigs). If anything, they told Emily $2.50 for each character.

TEN dollars? Last time I checked, it was five!

nvm

Yeah, there was a time when nobody's old Wesson oil was safe around that guy, lol.

Why invest in new movies and shows for that purpose when "According to Jim" reruns can meet the same need at a much cheaper cost?

And for that, we must give thanks.

You're welcome! And you're right, too, about LOVING and their ability to cast exceptionally attractive men. Too bad ABCD never thought to launch a "Loving the Men on LOVING" ad campaign. Who knows? It might've helped their ratings, lol!

That's probably because no one on "The Talk" ever provoked any meaningful discussions about anything. I've answered quizzes in AARP Magazine that were more controversial than anything discussed on "The Talk," lol.

I agree!

I'm not sure, but I think that was Mark Kiely, who has appeared in a bunch of shows over the years, including "Beverly Hills, 90210," where he played one of the teachers at West Beverly High.

When Christopher Goutman basically told that reporter from SOD that he didn't care at all about what the viewers thought, I knew ATWT was done for.

I don't think people realize how integral music was to the storytelling on DAYS in the '70's and '80's, and how soulless the show has been without it ever since. RIP Mr. Davich, and thank you so much for the contributions you made, not just to DAYS, but to GH and PC as well.

Oh, Lord. That ensemble is giving off MAJOR Patsy Cline vibes.

Does Y&R need a lot of sets to tell good stories, though? Does ANY show need a lot of sets to tell good stories? Honestly, I'd be okay with Y&R having a DAYS-like budget if the trade-off was having a halfway interesting show for a change.

Years ago, I saw her on an episode of "Mannix" and said, "Well, now we know why she eventually transitioned into producing," lol.

Which tracked with Brian Frons' stated vision for AMC as daytime's answer to "Sex and the City," a show about four, white, self-involved women from NYC with highly disposable incomes, which had absolutely zero in common with AMC. (If you wanted SATC on your network's lineup, Mr. Frons, you should've just aired the reruns and then called it a day). I always break it down like this: you watch DALLAS and KL for the acting and the writing; DYNASTY, for the wardrobe and hair; and FC, for the simple fact that you can't find your remote.

I still can't believe FX spent so much money on a series that is so dull. I don't care that it's more respectful to the James Clavell novel than the original miniseries was, or to Asian culture in general. None of that means anything if your audience is bored. People always want to blame the shrinking across-the-board ratings on how much the Internet has changed our viewing habits and so forth. Frankly, I think that's bullshit. I think any show could pull down DALLAS-like numbers even today, it's just a matter of telling stories that people want to see and leaving the people who tell those stories the hell alone.

Frankly, I've watched only a little of "The Bay"; and what I watched, I didn't like.

I agree. They're not sustainable economically, and they're not exactly luring in audiences either, no matter HOW many big names they attach to these projects.

Yup. I love Tracy, but let's not forget that she is the same Tracy Angelica Quartermaine who left HER OWN FATHER to die on the floor just so he couldn't change his will. She really can't preach ethics to anybody, lol.

Believe me, I called the show just that on many an occasion, lol. There really was a point when I would watch an episode and think, "You'd have to be certifiable to think this [!@#$%^&*] is any good, or is in keeping with what AMC is supposed to be about." And that was BEFORE Chuck Pratt hit the scene.

Ironically, I think Gillian Spencer's Niki sounds more like what Erika Slezak's Niki became in the '90's and '00's, just without the tendency to kill, lol.

I think her reverence came from being on THE DOCTORS and realizing how invaluable James Pritchett, Lydia Bruce, David O'Brien and Jada Rowland had been to that show. They, along with Elizabeth Hubbard, were the only reasons why anyone was still watching TD when NBC cancelled it, because God knows the storylines and production values weren't bringing them in, lol! That - Bert's discomfort over H.B.'s wealth - would have been a major source of tension in their relationship. Josh and Trish would've adored her as a stepmom, though, since they had known her the longest and were more down-to-earth than the rest of the family (which I attribute to Martha's influence), while Billy might've felt H.B. was trying once again to replace Saint Martha.
