I agree with Lauryn Hill and her assessment of Roberta Flack's rendition of "Ballad of the Sad Young Men." It has that end-of-movie quality that can really stir your soul.

Needless to say, Josh Schriver's boyfriend is not thrilled about this news.

It is.

I agree.

I guess that's the only way to justify Bill's motivation, lol?

I'm giving the show at least 13 weeks before saying anything too critical about it. I figure that's enough for the writing staff to uncover what is and is not working and make the necessary adjustments. I'm also not even going to bother reading all the posts before mine whenever I'm in this thread, because life is too short and my ass is too uncomfortable, lol.

Even I've used that term and I was born at the tail end of disco, lol.

You know a character's pathetic when they die even in your fanfic, lol.

I agree with @Reverend Ruthledge and with @Paul Raven: it didn't make much sense for Bill to let his family think he had died just so he could live in Canada with another woman. Was Hillary conceived before he was presumed dead, though? If so, then maybe Bill was afraid to let them know of his child on the outside.

GAWD, lol.

That was the song my dad played for my mom shortly after they met. RIP Ms. Flack.

I'm just glad I have a reason to USE Paramount +! It comes free with my Walmart + subscription, but until BTG, I never had any reason to watch anything on it.

My mom and I tried Max as part of our DoorDash subscription and we HATED it, lol. There was literally nothing on there that we wanted to watch. Same went for Apple +, Hulu, Netflix, Paramount + and Peacock. It was all enough to make us reconsider trying out Disney +. So, now, my mom sticks with Tubi, while I stick with Pluto.

Ceara is probably the best role (on daytime) that GF has ever played that wasn't named "Laura." But I still maintain that one reason why Agnes Nixon wrote the incest storyline for her was because she wasn't working as the gold-digging tramp who was after David Rampal for his money; and once that story concluded, and Ceara had mellowed and wed Jeremy, she just sort of faded away (likely because the network was determined to bring GF back to GH).

If you ask me - and I know you didn't, lol - I think Max is in deeper trouble than even they are letting on and that it's only a matter of time before the whole operation collapses and sold off for parts. Of course, this will mean the end of HBO and all traces of it.

FreeVee re-aired old soaps? I had no idea, lol! Basically, what I'm talking about is SoapNet, but in app form, and not restricted to the ABC shows. Whatever is out there and available, including even old episodes of international soaps! They could call it "Sudz," or "Serial Bowl," or some [!@#$%^&*] like that.

I wonder how successful a FAST service devoted solely to re-airing old soaps would be. (I say FAST, because I, for one, abhor having to subscribe/pay money to watch TV shows, lol.)

I look at it this way: Michele Val Jean must see something in Ron Carlivati's work that most of us don't, or else she wouldn't have hired him. Same goes for Bob Guza and Julie Hanan Carruthers. This show is too important to MVJ to place even portions of it in less-than-worthy hands. That does not mean I've become an RC fan of all sudden. It just means that I'm willing to trust MVJ's judgment, simply because her track record and commitment to BTG tell me that I should.

I agree. IIRC, too, they even discovered (or RE-discovered) taped footage of Super Bowl I, decades after all the footage had been deemed "lost."

I might have said this before, but I thought it was odd how easily they kept going back to "Melissa is unstable," especially when I don't think Ana-Alicia was all that good at playing that kind of story.

Exactly. "Cosby" didn't exactly put an end to the way family sitcoms had been produced before; it just added an upwardly mobile, African-American family to the mix. "Roseanne," on the other hand, was the first sitcom of any era to show what it REALLY meant to be a family in America. That's why I always gravitated toward "Roseanne" more than I did toward "Cosby." Even though I'm African-American, "Roseanne" just did a better job of depicting families like mine and my peers'.

Like so many other sitcoms from that era, "Who's the Boss?" and "Growing Pains" were pretty much shark bait once "Roseanne" took off. Say what you will about HER, but her show was probably the biggest game-changer, sitcom-wise, in the '80's, more so than even "The Cosby Show."

Again, you can't beat the short-and-sweet approach:

Unlike most of Frank's changes, however, ATWT's later openings didn't need trigger warnings for epilepsy sufferers.
