The Tennis Thread
Chris Evert said it was a match for the ages - so I'm sure they'll be airing it again and again as an 'Instant Classic', or repeat when nothing else is available to air. Like a choice between this and a CanJam or Cornhole Championship or the Minecraft World Championships.

The Tennis Thread
I've tried to watch but it's been a total bust this year. It seems like so many players must have spent the time off and a lighter schedule figuring out how not to play or get injured. I say that jokingly but...seriously. So much drama, injuries, or whatever that I don't even care. A friend of mine on Facebook posted about all the drama being off the court or just walkovers and injuries or showing up but then basically not being a factor...and a friend of hers replied that there had been a lot of great matches. I wonder what tournament he's watching because I haven't seen anything even remotely interesting although I'll admit I haven't been paying a ton of attention. But it seems like a bust...we could have probably formed a dead-pool and had more fun betting on who would be the next fly to drop.

B&B May 2021 Discussion Thread
I think I had quit watching during that time too...didn't know about those. One thing B&B is good at - people in car crashes and falling off of something and losing a shoe.

B&B May 2021 Discussion Thread
I only lurk now but this makes me laugh. Let me guess, no one was around either. No one actually lives anywhere around Los Angeles and no one drives on those roads if it's B&B.

Days Renewed for 2 years!
I stopped watching Y&R and B&B altogether. I used to post once in a while but it's been 2+ months that I've seen one minute of either. All 4 shows remaining will be around for awhile, and their ratings could tank through the basement and they'll still be on the air. They have on their side the fact that there is literally nothing to replace them with, especially after Ellen announced this coming year is her last and the Talk is so far in the dregs it's just further proof that for the most part talk shows are not working. Kelly and Tamron had the luck of somewhat OK ratings and that's all anyone can hope for now. 3rd and 4th hours of Morning shows re-branded as GMA3 or Today in the afternoon will not work now.

The Talk: Discussion Thread
I don't watch the Talk but Sharon needs to go. And I read articles about the 2 new girls and I have no clue as to who they are. Sharon is poison and has been for years.

I had no idea of any of the songs. None. I guess I'm that Alternative. I just had no idea and don't listen to mainstream music.

Harry and Meghan Interview with Oprah
I don't watch the Talk but Sharon needs to be fired from what I've read and from seeing the clips of the segment. To continue to support Morgan when he flat out said Meghan was lying - what a joke. Why would someone lie about being depressed and being suicidal? The Palace was doing the same thing they did to Diana and then smeared Meghan. Why would you leave the Royal status and move to another country if things weren't really bad? That tells me everything. Fire Sharon. To marginalize someone who is depressed is bottom of the barrel. Send her packing along with the whole show. And after Holly's comments that she remembers Sharon saying she was too "ghetto" for The Talk, I'm believing it.

Soaps You Could Never Get Into (It's Not You, It's Me)
Sorry if it's a double post but thanks for this. Who is the critic who always ranks Santa Barbara as the best soap of all time? And it lasted like 8 years. Meanwhile on his list Guiding Light and As the World Turns are missing. LOLLLLL. One lasted 75 years and World Turns was #1 for 20+ years. But Santa Barbara is the best to him but no one watched.

Soaps You Could Never Get Into (It's Not You, It's Me)
All of the ABC soaps, I just wasn't in to all the crazy storylines and OLTL - Vicki going to heaven in a spaceship, Eterna...GH and its stolen artifact of the month or Weather Machines or whatever. I most likely could have liked AMC but I didn't try really hard because it was partially up against World Turns and I was a huge World Turns fan. I was a kid too so you'd think all of the crazy supernatural stuff would have appealed to me but even then I thought it was dumb. Santa Barbara and Days, same thing - just never got into them.

Who is that even? I’ve honestly never heard of her.

Most overly dramatic characters and scenes
Heather Tom on B&B pretty much owns this thread. Her reaction when Bill blew up a building and she was just so SCHOCKED. Like she thought it was above him and she was screaming and crying for an Emmy Reel. I saw the end of yesterday's episode of B&B completely owns this thread. I guess Steffy is finally finding out who baby daddy is. But it looked like a bad Telenovela. They cut to each person's face over and over. They could have added dialogue to say "BEBE!"? "SI!" "NO!" "BEBE!?" "SI!" "NO!" and added the DUN DUN DUNNNNNN! music and had each person stare into the camera like the Californians they used to skit on SNL. "NO!" "SI!" And Steffy said 3 times I think - WHO is my BABY's DAD? or something like that. And the Doctor stands and stares. How long has it been since that test? People are married and annulled and married again faster than this on B&B.

I've missed so much of this tournament. I like Thiem. And I missed Serena beating Halep. It would be AWESOME if Serena wins this...right in Margaret Court Stadum. Brutal sweet justice. Martina would be absolutely Giddy and I would LOVE to see and hear that. I just love Martina now...I never knew what a nice person she is and I follow her on Twitter and she's a scream. No wonder Chrissy and her are great friends. They're both sharp with sense of humor...Martina used to tell these stories about Chrissy...she'd say everyone thinks she's so well mannered and demure...she'll tell the dirtiest jokes you have ever heard!

The Tennis Thread
This has bugged me for a long time and maybe it's been discussed here but the 'going to the towel' thing should be stopped. I was watching matches from the 80's and 90's and even early 2000's and players did not do that between points at all. No wonder they had to go to a serve clock. At the Australian they commented it hasn't been the usual heat and it's been mild...players go to the towel anyway, every single point. Do people just sweat now more than they used to??

What has happened to Marin Cilic? I don't see him anywhere in the top 100 but I haven't been following Tennis much since last Fall...I saw Sam Querry in the draw and he lost. Made me laugh.

What Are You Listening To?
Favorite Vampire Weekend song - Unbelievers. Love how much it reminds me of Buddy Holly.

I listen to a lot of Silver Sun Pickups, and also still a lot of Matt Maeson. Fav Matt Maeson song - been out for a few years. Also like Vampire Weekend.

As The World Turns Discussion Thread
Roger could be funny also. I remember one of the funniest scenes was Roger with Amanda sitting on the couch in the Spaulding mansion. Annie had escaped from a mental facility or jail (don't remember which)....but they were sitting on the couch at the mansion eating a bowl of cashews. Alan runs in frantic...have either of you seen Annie!? Have you seen ANNIE!? Amanda raised the bowl toward Alan and Roger and she said, "Nuts?" I remember my family watching and we died laughing...

The Politics Thread
Yes. Honestly I would just have a ceremony in the White House and not even be sure that's safe. Then the supremacists idiots will be yacking about them not showing their faces but I wouldn't care. I'd do my job and not care. The Rightwing is crazy and have been for 4 years because of Trump's tweets. I don't even know what people's conscience's are when they even THINK about not convicting. It's kind of funny to me because a few years ago they said the Democrats were imploding. Well. Now who is? I don't think the Republican party has the backbone to do the right thing. If this had happened under Obama.....................................none of this discussion of it being "too fast" would be heard. They'd be like a bunch of Vampires all over us to get him out before Inauguration. And they say he deserves to finish out his term. It's all garbage. Yes, the mob was wrong, but just let him finish it out. It's the same thing for 4 years - just look away and don't hold him accountable. And this utter garbage about a Nation that needs to heal. Well guess what, healing starts with people being accountable and I wouldn't be looking away, but that's just me.

Too late. He already got his way. And it was written by the Press Secretary - 45 can't speak well. And he can't write.

He should get some nice organic water and nothing else. Heard a joke that I thought was funny: "What did his Mom say when she learned he was thrown in jail?" Bison.
