My apologies, @chrisml. I think AutoFill is to blame here, lol.

The thing is, even Bill Clinton once confronted a journalist on camera when he still was in the WH, and he said (and I'm paraphrasing), "There are many, worthwhile things that my party/administration is trying to do, but I know you won't report on any of it, because all you care about is selling newspapers."* People either overlooked or dismissed his comments, because they were considering the source; but just as he and Hillary were right about how you can't bring a knife to a gun fight with the GOP, he also was right about the state of American journalism today. (*I wish I could where and when I saw this moment exactly, and whether it's available online, because, as it turns out, it fits where the MSM is today.)

Score! And one with a predominantly Black cast at that.

It's weird to see SFT still so high in the ratings, knowing that in another eleven years, the show would be history.

Good. I've lost my mother to bothsidesism and right-wing propaganda, and I will never forgive the MSM for that.

One trend that I've noticed is how NBC became a sort of destination for innovative one-hour dramas like "Hill Street Blues" and "St. Elsewhere" in the early '80's, but as the decade wore on, ABC became a destination as well for quality one-hours and dramedies like "The Wonder Years," while CBS more-or-less contented themselves to being a destination for one-hour shows that were more like "comfort food" for audiences and, on the whole, not challenging or risky.

I'd agree! There's no way Sid could have "survived" KL's transition into a full-blown soap opera. He was much too much of a pushover and nice guy. Either he would've evolved into a villain (much like FC tried to do with Chase Gioberti after a certain point) or he would've been killed off anyway by someone like Mark St. Clair.

Honestly, I think the only reason NBC kept AW on for so long was because they were afraid to lose that hour to the affiliates, which ended up happening anyway.

ICAM. Even Spelling's classiest series, "Family," probably looks too quaint compared to similar shows that are produced today. I think the producers knew that the show was likely gone, but they still held out hope that they could keep going and reinvent the show for the '90's, much like David Jacobs and the Lechowicks had done with KL.

With all due respect, @chrisml, I'd have to disagree. I loved both "Sisters" and "thirtysomething," but as far as the writing goes, I never thought "Sisters" was in the same class as "thirtysomething" (or "My So-Called Life" or "Once and Again"). To me, it's like the difference between "Family" and early KL. Again, I loved both shows, but I don't think early KL was on the same level as "Family."

This reminds me of the time when one of the other members at my mom's former church printed a quote from Nietzsche in the program for some church-related event (can't remember which atm). Of course, the difference here is that Sister Patrice was just ignorant as hell, lol.

I've noticed they even tried to make a big deal out of his brother being an alleged Trump supporter, which is country-ass dumb, frankly, because who doesn't have a MAGAt or two in their family at this point? My take: the GOP and the MSM know that Walz appeals to a lot of older, white constituents who'd otherwise vote third party/independent, or for Trump, or would stay home, so they're doing all they can to take that advantage away from the Democrats.

I hate Leslie Moonves for a lot of things, but I really hate how he (among other creeps) screwed her out of a career in primetime.

Something I've said about every project that the Lechowicks were involved with. I'd really love to know what their thought processes were whenever they were casting for one of their shows, lol.

Obviously, if I were rebooting DYNASTY today, I'd lean hard into making Steven a sexually fluid character, with both male and female love interests. Just as I'd give Fallon a sort of "daddy complex" that compels her to pursue much older men.

Sela Ward definitely made the right decision in choosing Teddy over Frankie. Not only did she win the Emmy, but her career really took off because of that role.

The fact is, there were millions who supported Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party and they were - pardon the pun - dead wrong. In the end, the NYT (and the rest of the MSM) have an obligation to nothing and no one except the truth. Point blank, period, end of discussion, thanks for stopping by.

"The Drew Carey Show" at number one? WTF?? I'd like to think that David Jacobs (RIP) would be delighted to see his baby become a hit again all these years later.

Re-airing the episode where Kristina loses the baby on LABOR Day? Well, GH, that's certainly a choice!

ICAM!

In retrospect, I should have attended an HBCU after graduating from high school.

TBH, I don't think OLTL ever found the right actor to play Joey or Kevin.

For sure, Larry Hagman/J.R. could have returned after DALLAS was finished. They didn't even need to address the fact that Bobby was still alive on the mothership! And if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: J.R. returning to Knots Landing and asking Val to co-write/ghost write his memoirs is a story that writes itself, lol.

I am as well. IIRC, he left for "ER," so - like you said, @chrisml - he was leaving, no matter what.

Say whatever you like about Tim Walz and his (not exaggerated) military record, but you'd never catch him creating a national incident at our nation's most revered burial place for veterans!
