The Cosby Show destroying everything in its path. Murder, She Wrote defying expectations and finishing ahead of the soaps, action shows, and the new hotness Miami Vice.

That's it for me as far as watching the clips go. 🤣 Bill Bell would never. If we're keeping it real here, a good portion of the last 15 years has been garbage time.

I have no memory of the scene CLB chose. Hopefully CG picks a 1997-2005 scene that was not part of the classics. I'm not looking forward to seeing anything after 2006.

Sheila has been played out for 25 years. Sheila is Bradley's "break glass in case of emergency" character.

Was it later in that episode or the next one that Phyllis showed up at Rex's funeral reception and made the rounds? I remember a scene with Phyllis introducing herself to Victor and a pregnant Hope, and maybe the Abbotts.

Saturday's clip is Sharon Case and she chose 2001 Nick/Sharon dinner in the tent that we saw during the classics. I think the next week will be Sunday MS Monday CLB Tuesday CG Wednesday CK Thursday GR Friday BJ Saturday AH

That's how it survived the CBS 3rd place mess era and lasted until 1993.

No. We all know that you have no love for the overgrown frat boy. 🤣

Trapper John, M.D. was a Top 20 show in its first four seasons (peak was 15th in 1981/82) but it fell from 18th in 1982/83 to 30th in 1983/84 then 29th in 1984/85. I say the fall in 1983/84 was due to the weakening of the Sunday comedy block lead ins. 1984/85 new lead ins Murder, She Wrote and Crazy Like a Fox helped stabilize it. 1985/86 got counterprogrammed by movies and big budget miniseries. January 1986 CBS sent it to Tuesday where it was no match for ABC, then got pulled from the schedule, and the remaining episodes were burned off in the summer. It's funny that Trapper John, M.D. premiered the same season as Knots Landing and was higher rated than Knots Landing in its first four seasons, yet Knots Landing lasted twice as long as Trapper John, M.D.

Victor/Ashley worked in ED's original run because Bill Bell saw that EB was a match for ED's acting style. All of Ashley's pairings before Victor tanked because ED's acting style overshadowed the other actors. I have never found PB believable as a romantic leading man. Nikki and TL's Jack had a co-conspirator with benefits thing going on but PB's Jack being in love with Nikki didn't work for me.

1990/91 CBS was still in its 3rd place mess era, although there were some signs of life with Murphy Brown and Designing Women earning their first Top 10 finishes.

Agree. Maybe during the anniversary celebration we might see clips of them, but you never know.

This is a great read. Thanks for the link Soapsuds.

As for our two rookie hits that week: The Cosby Show - How Ugly Is He? (episode 9): Denise has a new boyfriend, David James, but is reluctant to bring him home. She fears that Cliff will, as always, make fun of the boy and ruin her chances with him. Cliff and Clair are initially impressed with David until he expresses some unwanted opinions about medicine and the law at dinner. Murder, She Wrote - Lovers and Other Killers (episode 6): While lecturing at the University of Seattle and meeting up with her old friend Dr. Edmund Gerard, Jessica becomes convinced the young man she hired as her secretary is not a killer, even though evidence points towards him.

That is some good Photoshopping.

Wednesday's clip is Jess Walton and she picked a scene from 2012 I think.

GL had a primetime special in 1992 for their 40th anniversary on television. I don't recall ATWT getting a primetime special for any of their big anniversaries. Noticed your choice of 1994 as Y&R's last good year. I take it you stopped enjoying Y&R after the frat party started.

Thanks for the mention Taoboi. Do you think Larsa is going to get dragged by the others?

OMG this sounds like it could be good.

Y&R Nick/Phyllis might apply here.

A Victor/Ashley scene I hope surfaces soon is one I read about in a Fall 1984 recap, where Victor tells Ashley about Cora, and so they are connecting over their parental issues. I wonder if that was the scene that made Bill Bell decide that he had something to work with as far as pairing Victor/Ashley goes.

You were right. That's Monday's clip.

@sheilaforever Nikki was the OG ho turned housewife. Mid-1990s she was so snooty lady of the manor.
