They're taking a tremendous risk in reminding peeps of when SNL didn't suck as much.

Pretty much. And because we live in very scary times, with food and gas prices continuing to rise, more and more workers will adopt MAGA philosophy simply in order to keep their jobs. Just like Scarlett O'Hara traded with the Carpetbaggers so she could keep Tara and keep herself from going hungry.

Yup! It's kind of like what George's favorite bootblack, Otis, says in an episode of "The Jeffersons": "You've got all these Black people talking about going back to Africa, but they wouldn't last five minutes over there!" That's how I feel about people on social media who try and shame others into marching and protesting. Those numb-nuts will never walk any of their talk, because they'd be the first to surrender or run away as soon as even one cop showed up, and they know it. By the way, @janea4old, thank you for your contributions - not just to this thread and to SON, but for the contributions you made BITD and continue to make in the name of advancing social justice.

This is why I've begun carrying my birth certificates - both the one issued by the hospital (complete with my footprints) and the one issued by the state - whenever I'm out in public. I've also alerted my mom to contact one of my closest friends, who is an attorney, and who would help her get in touch with the right people, should the need arise.

IMHO, "activists" on the left or far-left are a big reason why we are where we are today. They hold the Democratic Party hostage, then blame the party when we fail to win elections. Nah, boo. We can't win, because y'all chase away the centrists, moderates and Independents who'd otherwise help us if you didn't look so ridiculous.

Frankly, if the Democratic Party has become "toxic," then people like Fetterman and AOC are to blame.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's
No, they haven't, lol. I still enjoy "Hart to Hart" and the first couple of seasons of "Charlie's Angels" whenever I find them; but, no, they don't hold up well at all.

Unless I'm mistaken, that's the same Ashley Williams who once played Dani on ATWT and has gone onto appearing in boatloads of Hallmark Channel movies.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's
As junky as Aaron Spelling's shows often were, at the same time, you can't deny that he had his fingers on the pulse of what viewers wanted to see - for awhile, anyway.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's
In retrospect, I think we just reached a point where we grew tired beautiful people getting themselves into trouble every week. We needed something with more substance. Come to think of it, that's probably why "L.A. Law" took off like it did (once NBC changed its' time slot). In a way, that show was a perfect marriage of early- and mid-'80's style and late-'80's substance. It was "Hill Street Blues" and "St. Elsewhere" for viewers who thought HSB and "Elsewhere" were too gritty or too depressing.

I agree. Kyle should have been the one to find Reva and bring her back to Springfield. But I guess they didn't want to raise the possibility of needing to bring back Larkin Malloy, lol? Although, as much as I enjoyed watching Malloy, it's not as if he was irreplaceable. In fact, I would've much rather seen Roscoe Born join GL as a Kyle recast and have him work with Kim Zimmer and Robert Newman than to see him in the nothing role he did have on the show.

Basically, Kyle left Springfield and (I think) returned to Tulsa after he almost killed Josh during an argument over Reva. Months later, Reva received word that Kyle had met and married a woman named Amy and that the two were expecting a child. However, Amy and their baby were later killed in a plane crash (in the Himalayas?); and Kyle was left comatose, which was the last we heard anything about him. As convoluted as the storyline became during the 1988 WGA strike, it also was gripping, due mostly to Michelle Forbes' performance as Sonni/Solita. Kyle's actions during the whole Ben/Maeve storyline was just deplorable and amounted (IMO) to character assassination, similar to how AMC would later destroy Travis and his relationship with Erica with the bizarre Steven Andrews story.

ALL: General Retro Soap Discussion
As I've said in the past, part of the joy of watching DS is simply watching the cast and crew get through each episode by the skin of their teeth. It wasn't live, but it was taped as if it was, and as a result, it is exhilarating.

Time might prove my silly ass wrong, but I have a lot more faith in Parker Short than I do in David Hogg.
