Faulkner

They had THE BEST soundtrack. A good mix of popular stuff like Erasure and little gay gems.

I was obsessed with this when it played over the end credits. 

He was certainly better than his resume, for sure.

He was often a jackass, but at least he was nice eye candy in his prime.

He's not wrong.

How funny. I suppose Agassi couldn't do it full time. 

Edit: just saw that Agassi is staying on.

I say good for Nicolette!  It had to be somebody and I'm glad it's her.  I'm happy that an '80s primetime soap ingenue come vixen is graduating into the iconic role, and I'm glad that they cast away from the mold as they have with several characters.  An English actress would have been too on the nose, and if we look at the list of actresses before they got to Joan, it's not as if the character was even conceived to be English.

 

My biggest problem with tonight's episode is that Jeff referred to Cecil as his father.  And we all know that Sable and Frankie are Monica's and Jeff's mothers, respectively.  I wonder how/if this reimagining will handle that.  Meanwhile, both of their mothers are first cousins of Nicollexis™ therefore at least biracial.  I have a feeling all of that incestuous backstory created by The Colbys will be largely erased/ignored on the new show.

The funny thing is that Nicollette is actually English. She was born and raised there until she was 10. Not sure if she can still do the accent (I'm sure she can), but I doubt she will for this role.

This makes me so mad I could scream. Seriously, I'm seeing red right now. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Geraldo has a few skeletons in his closet. 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

One of those "skeletons" is publicly known:

The sound of summer 2017.

My sentimental favorite. IMO the best marriage of music (The Supremes' "Reflections") and visuals from the show.

The show wasn't my favorite, but the images are cool.

This is super cool:

This is beautiful

Doing a bit of 2017 year in review...

Memories of childhood listening to the Quiet Storm program at night on Majic 108 in St. Louis.

It's the 20th anniversary of Michael Hutchence's death...RIP.

The Washington Post has been killing it with this story. Smart that they've taken down the paywall for it. Maybe they'll get some new subscribers out of this.

Is she going to claim that Max forgot to warn her to click the link?

I wonder if the tennis press will try to make excuses for her again so they can return to "business as usual" trying to promote her.

It will be interesting to see who writes/investigates more on this and who tries to tamp down the story.

 

 

Hey Tennis Fans,

Have you all heard that the Majors are returning to a 16 player draw? There are a host of other rules (etc, shot clock) that will be in effect next year.

Thoughts?

I would have had more seeds, not fewer. Not sure why they did this.

I've seen The Royal Tenenbaums dozens of times, but I never made this connection:

Oh lord. Old Charlie too? The bullying behavior isn't surprising. My friend's boyfriend used to work for his Bloomberg/PBS show and has nothing good to say about him. He gets great guests, but he's a terrible interviewer. Always interrupting.

Guess we're looking at an early retirement?

The Powers That Be (NBC, 1992-93). Amazing cast. John Forsythe, Holland Taylor, Peter MacNicol, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Robin Bartlett, Valerie Mahaffey, and David Hyde Pierce in a role that presaged Niles on Frasier. I was pissed when the show was cancelled, but in hindsight, it was a blessing, since almost everyone on the show went on to bigger and better things.

And, of course, Looking, which a lot of people found boring. I loved it.
