About 10 commercials from DAYS 1994 season compiled from YouTube. I forgot how hot Jonah was (that was his name right?)

Add me in. I was a magazine buying addict back then but I erased all those articles out of my memory.

The Kirsten Storms talk from Langan is definitely interesting in retrospect. How often do writer's do interviews where they do that (straight out saying this actor is playing against what I'm writing and I don't think I like it)?

25TH Anniversary On-Show Montages: FIRST COMES LOVE... THEN COMES MARRIAGE.... THEN THE BABY CARRIAGE! SO THIS IS CHRISTMAS! TOM & ALICE!

I don't remember hearing an explanation on the clips. These old clips ... so, so good. Don't know if the following has been posted because this thread is 84 pages long and I can't go over it page for page. 25th Anniversary Promos that ran on NBC. LOVE LAUGHTER MEMORABLE MOMENTS

Watched Hope & Larry's completed wedding for the first time last night. This is wonderful. It's like a mildly funny but really sad funeral. That moment where Alice recognizes how devastated Hope looks at the altar and then starts tearing up herself *sniffle* I will say the scene with Mickey staring at Maggie is weird because Melissa's boyfriend is also in that frame looking like he's staring at Maggie with hungry eyes. (He's probably staring at Melissa). So the story behind the wedding is Larry and Hope are both being forced to marry each other or else repercussions to their loved ones (they beat the living chit out of Bo), family, career, etc. The guy who gets Hope the water is one of the goons.

This reminds me of the real reason I quit in 2003, I just had heard the news JER was returning as head-writer and I wall all "I've done taken enough. Bye." I don't think she was full on possessed for the story. It was a tease to explain why she killed Alice, Doug, Caroline, Roman,, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. This was also a humorous find. Josh Taylor seems to have chemistry with a female and is not annoying in these scenes. Leann Hunley! TP is so much cuter in 2007. Stefano asking Hope on a date after trying to choke her and "learning" she's sleeping with Steve. I like when Steve is Patch-light. So who gave that trio the drugged wine? .

The mini re-threads DAYS did while I was on my long hiatus, sigh; most of the re-threads were kind of funny though. For some reason this had me LOL the entire time I was watching it.

*through sobs* Damn, the irony that exactly one week later I would stand over my mother - as her blood pressure started to drop and as her heart began to stop beating - with my hand placed over her heart and tell her the same words. I guess I should have knocked on wood after typing that comment. The whole situation was eerily similar. Being awake for a period but completely trapped in your body, the doctors deciding to do the appropriate medical treatment only when it was too late... The main difference was my mother was in the so-called best hospital in New York.

Episode got 9.55 million total viewers (kind of destroying Scandal which had 7.79). They also got a hefty 2.8 in 18-49 (kind of destroying Scandal, again, 2.3). F'in impressive for Season 11. GA also destroyed on Social Media. 600,000 plus tweet (Scandal had roughly 200,000). I've enjoyed most of this season so I like. It'll be interesting to see if they can sustain any of this next week with the league of angry fans Shonda has left behind.

I had a feeling he was exiting the show with the low amount of episodes but recently there had been a lot of rumors about it REALLY happening (PD talking about spending the rest of the year focusing on racing). Then a few hours before the episode, a fan who got their Entertainment Weekly in the mail early leaked the information. I'm not a big Derek or MerDer fan and I was spoiled ... but the episode still made me cry. GA does death well. - That little girl realizing Derek was hurt: "you stay not dead, okay." She was phenomenal or that scene was phenomenal because my heart started racing and I almost burst out crying. . - Derek narrating his impending death. The music. I'm going to die because of their lack of experience. So haunting. As if Shonda wasn't causing her audience enough pain, she made us even more terrified of hospitals. - Meredith stopping the nurse from disconnecting Derek. I thought she was going to beg him to come back to her. Chasing Cars came on and.... Meredith instead telling him that they'll be okay and it's okay to go. I could not do that. Strong moment. Honorable Mention to the female doc in stupid-male-doctor hospital. She was awesome sauce too.

These bitches (Kyle, Lisa R with a side of Eileen and Lisa V) group crying and being a bunch of me-victim hypocrites after Lisa's assault. Ugh. I'm so Team Brandi, Kim and Yolanda right now. Except for Kim acting like a serial killer in that car with Lisa, she's acted no different most of this season than she acted last season when nobody was doubting her sobriety. Kim has admitted she took a pill she shouldn't have and it had a bad result. Lisa wants blood from her for some reason and is going to everybody to attempt to get toothpicks to stab and drain Kim of blood with. What's the harm of what a "concerned" Lisa is doing? Look at the internet, everybody is taking Lisa's word as the gospel even though it's arguable that except for one relatively minor episode, Kim is acting no different than last season. That's hurtful and harmful to Kim and Kim's family. Even if Lisa's right about her sobriety, you're basically putting her dirt on television like it's your religion, like it's a discussion board and it's the soap you love discussing. That's not helpful. How does that even begin to be helpful? I don't dislike Lisa, but calling that chit she's been doing to Kim right in any way? Pfft. ETA: At the beginning of this season, I think I said Eileen was the better addition to the cast. I take that back. Eileen is like a cool dork stuck in a horror house, but once you start pulling the curtain threads back and off from Lisa Rinna - that looks like a royal mess. Maybe it's Kim hinting at a mess that makes me think that - but now I really do think that. [Hmm, Lisa getting some of the harm that results in one spreading what one believes to be "founded" rumors]. I wonder if Harry is going to be down with her doing another season.

This first look is really good. A lot of soap opera "acting" moments. SPOILERS BELOW. http://stoopidhousewives.com/2015/02/27/rhobh-preview-part-ii-fighting-in-holland/ Kim drags Lisa, Eileen and Kyle like she's picking her teeth. Dayum. I don't blame Kim. Lisa is all up in her business and doing [Kim's] business like it's [Lisa's] business on national television. Eileen got a few digs thrown at her for interfering in the argument. Kyle "Why Me?" Kerrigan gets a Kathy-dig from Kim. Lisa Rinna's reaction to Kim just bringing up the notion of talking chit about Harry was so OTT. So lets talk hypocrisy. The fandom and these ladies will forever attack Brandi for throwing wine in Eileen's face in what added up to a fangurl/attention-whore moment. Lisa Rinna breaks glass over Kim and goes to choke Kim for even hinting at giving her a taste of her own medicine, and it will be no big deal. Kim had it coming. Eileen, and Lisa to a lesser extent, bitch about Brandi trying to come between sisters and Eileen is doing the same exact thing in this episode because she got told off for butting in by Kim. That'll be brushed under the rug. Kyle has a chance to defend Kim in these scenes. During the beginning Kim is just stating some facts. Instead of supporting Kim, Kyle is there acting embarrassed about her sister. She doesn't defend Kim to anybody, really, she acts put upon and stirs the other girls up on Kim as much as Kim may stir Brandi up on Kyle.

I don't dislike the flavor Lisa Rinna is bringing to the show at all. It's conductive to drama. I don't really dislike anybody this season except for Brandi, Kyle and Lisa Vanderpump when they get a little much on their rough sides (Lisa with her high horse, Kyle with her victim card screeching, and 2-drink Brandi), which is nice. Lisa's enforcement on the Kim issue is OTT. Sort of like the summation of Kim and Kyle's relationship is not or should not be any of Brandi's business, the summation of what Kim or Kim's friends and family are or aren't doing to Lisa's standards in recovery is not for Lisa to say or enforce. Kim freaked you out that evening SO don't hang out with her alone anymore. Lisa is as obsessed with her thoughts on Kim, right now, as Carlton was with her thoughts on Kyle last season.

Except for her ongoing menopause/old angle, Brandi was not the one who came off mean in last nights edition of RHOBH. The difference between 2 glasses of wine Brandi and no glasses of wine Brandi is the difference between Eileen's poker party and Lisa's birthday party. I can't stand 2 glasses of wine Brandi while I enjoy no glasses of wine Brandi more than most of these heffers. Kim in her blog says she has a life coach and a sober group, etc. She basically says it's nobodies business - including Kyle and Brandi's - to know about this. I don't know if I believe her though because in last nights episode she seemed to make it clear she's not doing recovery in the normal way. She never countered anybody when they mentioned that she was not doing recovery in the normal way (the group, the sponsor). I respect not feeling you have to answer to anybody but what would be the point of not revealing these things? She says she doesn't interfere in Brandi and Kyle's arguments because it's a danger to her sobriety, uhm ISN'T letting them go at each others neck and nag to you about each other a bigger danger? She could just tell them both to STFU because they're endangering her sobriety by arguing and trying to make her choose between two people that she is very fond of. That all aside, besides that limo episode with Lisa Rinna, Kim is acting no more unusual than normal ... since she's been sober. I don't get why it's the gospel that she's a flaming addict off the wagon because Lisa and Eileen have decided that it is. She did have a set back and she pretty much owned up to it. Did she own up to it as hard as she should have? No, at least not in front of the camera.

RHOBH Really good episode. It had depth to it. The preview looks fantastic. Original Recipe Lisa and Kyle's mutual Brandi hate bringing them together and causing them to have selective amnesia (read: acting like their relationship issues started because of Brandi's tabloid tale)? Heffers. Cannot wait until that fakeship crumbles. Kyle? WahBrandiwahBrandiwahBrandiwahKimwahKimwahKimwah. STFU already. Shrew. Loud shrew. She's like Amanda from Big Brother (15?). Brandi needs to STFU about menopause and age, in general, already. She's not so far away from being an older woman with menopause herself. Kathy being more friendly with Brandi than with Kyle? Hee. I need the tea spilled on Kathy and Kyle. Brandi claiming she accidentally threw a glass a wine on Eileen. I know some of you will take it as she was seriously lying and doing it in a court of law, but I literally did LOL. Lisa and Brandi trying to get out of ORLisa's party with centerpieces was pretty damn magnificent. The dynamic between ORLisa and Brandi ... I like. They both "know" who the other is and neither really like what they see but they still have this really popping underlying chemistry. This episode put into perspective the fact that even if Kim is not off the wagon that she has not built up the right support system for a recovering addict. She needs to be going to meetings and having a safe sober pal from those meetings. After seeing this episode, I do think both Kyle and Brandi genuinely care about her. I've been picking on Kyle and Brandi for their immaturity more than I've been picking on Kim for anything, lately, but Lisa has a point - Kim seems to be encouraging or not discouraging the discourse between sister and friend in a subtle manner as it takes the attention off of her. That all said, Lisa is going way overboard in the involvement she thinks she's allowed to have here. She's pulling Eileen into her social worker tenancies too. The interference does add to the drama so I'm not complaining. Eileen's husband is magical. Eileen's a great addition to the cast. I like when she's sitting back, judging and then making frank statements off what she's seen. I may not agree with her every single time but I do think she's being completely honest about her perceptions and I totally respect that. I don't like when she gets pulled into Lisa Rinna's chit though, you can see the start of her getting messy when she falls into Lisa's mentality. I don't dislike Lisa, but her need to be involved here is messy. ORLisa warned her.

People tend to act like Yolanda went along with Brandi on the Lisa thing. Nobody was more off put by Lisa than Yolanda almost from the start. It remains in her character too (being off put by Lisa). It's arguable with Yolanda. We don't know what goes on except in the face of 14-20 taping days that turns into 3 months of television. Maybe, Yolanda likes Brandi for good reason and thinks there's something worth taking the messiness for (admirable). Or maybe she's scared of what Brandi will bring on her if she pulls away (coward). You don't really know. I don't really know. I don't see the Lisa thing as coming out of nowhere. From Schaena to her backing away - and going back to her former arch nemesis Kyle - when she saw Brandi being messier and messier. As I said earlier, though, Lisa comes off as having made an intelligent choice (having foresight) when you see Brandi continuously just being a careless wreck for airtime or whatever. I see the Kyle thing as coming out of nowhere. Brandi didn't like Kyle and vice versa - for a couple of seasons - but they appeared to work through it even before Brandi started disliking Lisa. For Brandi to go from that to trying to help ruin Kyle's relationship with Kim in the blink of an eye?

Pulling a Lisa means backing away from the crazy b-tch in a not so subtle nature once she starts showing the messy parts a little too regularly.

The only relationship fall out I don't really hold against Brandi is the one with Lisa. I get her issues with Lisa. Everybody else? It's on Brandi. In the reflection of those failures, you can't fault Lisa. Brandi and Kyle have been getting along. Kyle, IMO, was doing a good job juggling being friends with both Brandi and Lisa. Then Brandi flips a switch and decides it's time to hate Kyle again. She very suddenly begins acting like Kyle is the worst sister that ever existed. Then there's Kim. "Recovering" alcoholic Kim is having a lot of issues with her home life (taking care of her dying ex, kids going off to college) so Brandi decides that insinuating to Kim that her sister wants her to fail and hates her should be on Brandi's to-do-list on the regular. Then Brandi starts doing what she is accusing Kyle of doing, she's using her BF Kim's issues for storyline and/or to deflect off her own issues. So Yolanda brings up the accurate point that Brandi becomes a bigger butthole when she's drinking and maybe that she has some form of alcoholism. What does Brandi do at the suggestion? She, more or less, drags the name of Yolanda's child through the mud to her face at that moment. I gained respect for Yolanda in that moment for not pulling a Lisa Vanderpump on her on the spot. I'm all for a comeback story but I feel like I'm done with this bitch on the RHOBH front. All she seems to care about anymore is stirring chit at whoevers expense. She's become the fakest of them all on this series.

RHOBH Kim was being more sensible than both Kyle and Brandi for the first half of the episode. It was like she was handling two teenagers during their hormonal years. Truthfully, Kim should probably take a break from both Brandi and Kyle. IMO, neither relationship is good for her when push comes to shove because both women are selfish and self-serving at least in terms of RHOBH. While I agree with some of Brandi's impressions of Kyle as a sister, IMO it's totally not her place to put that out to Kim. Kim may say stuff to her about Kyle from time to time, but family is family - they say things they don't mean OR that are frankly none of your business to get involved with EVEN if they go on and on to you about it. I don't like what Lisa Rinna is doing circa Kim's sobriety. I was a little off-put by Kyle getting on Kim for being a day off, as well. Kim seemed fine to me the entire episode. A little too optimistic but fine for Kim. Kyle is being too much of a drama queen for me. I'd be on her side if she wasn't over doing it to an extreme. She doesn't hear what she wants to hear and she starts squealing like a wounded pig. Brandi coming for Yolanda's daughter in that conversation in the preview? F--ked up. I am interested to see how that conversation goes though. I remain confused about what Brandi's real problem is on RHOBH? Is it that she thinks being an a--hole makes good television, so screw all other sense? Is it that she has a real drinking problem? I don't know where I stand on the drinking problem as she did not come off as a person with an addiction on Celebrity Apprentice. I think her bigger problem on RHOBH is she thinks acting like an over-opinionated, over "honest" a--hole is a good thing. Nah, gurl, it's just obnoxious, "My gays" ... Was I the only one off put by this circa Lisa R and especially Kyle? It's both the statement and that it felt so contrived. It felt almost as if they were itemizing. It felt rather insulting. Nene comes off the same way circa RHOA when she starts trying to claim "her gays." Lisa V. really should get the f--k off RHOBH. I'd watch a show with her family and dogs. The adopted son? Awesome sauce. RHOBH just makes me dislike her because there's so much room for pretentious behavior.

Right now, I think RHOBH would thrive without Lisa. The element of Lisa and Lisa herself keeps a heavy dynamic in the mix that is now really tired and old. She's a classy Nene. The classy part isn't exactly a positive in the RH franchise. I hope she chooses to step out of the show on her own prior to the next season starting. Bravo could keep her in business or years outside of RHOBH with her restaurants, dog, etc.

I agree. I would not miss her at this point. Let her reign on Vanderpump Rules.

Without Kim and Brandi, what would be the drama on this show? Half of my love of Eileen is due to her reactions to and shade at Brandi so she needs to keep on sending those invites. I love that dynamic so far. Her reaction to all these quacks is good, TBH. Kim. I don't think being off this show would change things for her. Without the show, she'd still be dealing with the issues she is - daughter leaving for college, Monty's illness. Also, the guest appearance by Kathy where she's loving on Kim and wanting to kill Kyle with her eyes is everything. I need to know the back story with these sisters. I do hate when the show does things like they did today - the wine tasting. The wine tasting makes me feel like the entire show is highly fabricated because all these b-tches knew that was going to happen and signed off on it. None of them are that insensitive.

When Kim's high, to be frank, I'm not sure what it is. It doesn't seem like pain pills or alcohol. It seems like something more hardcore. Mixing? IMO, Kyle being Kim's sister doesn't mean she's doing the right thing concerning her at all times. Brandi, as drunk as she was, was not going to let Kim drink as long as she was paying attention to her in her own drunk state. Kim wasn't going to go anywhere with Kyle. If Kim was going to go home and drink or pop pills, she was going to do it with or without either of them. Somebody got scratched and unnecessary chit broke out. Eh. I really do hope that's the last time Kim is this f--ked up this season. I mean while it makes for drama, meh, it's sad. Speaking of addicts. I go back and forth with Brandi. She's like the HW who has a bottle of wine each day until one day they're walking out a restaurant with their ta... well you know the story. I hope she gets it together with her drinking as well. She's a lot more chill, even with the filthy abrasiveness, when she's not drinking.

I liked the episode with less Vanderpump as the story is always about trying to kiss her a-- or how she thinks this and that one is an a--. Everybody shading Brandi about her filthy mouth and whine throwing was funny. She took it well. Eileen's reaction to these crazy bitches is gold, lol. I feel like Lisa R is trying a little too hard to be shady in the same vein that Brandi tries to hard to not have any type of filter. Those (high) bitches having stupid fights at the card game was alternatively funny and bizarre. The car rides. The Brandi and Kyle ride was actually nice. The Lisa and Kim ride ... Kim was definitely off. What I don't understand about Kyle is that she almost relishes making a scene on camera whenever Kim is having a fall. How is that actual love or caring? She's your sister, not someone to create story for yourself off of. Hopefully this is just a momentary thing with Kim because she hasn't seemed this off (the car ride) since she was having a substance issue. I hope she goes to a meeting and just starts over. I felt bad for her during that wine tasting fiasco. I feel a little bad for Bella and Yolanda's non-Gigi children. I feel like Yolanda is pointing out how much more successful Gigi is a little too much.
