  1. Do you think JM glowed up? Normally I would recognize a glow up when I see one but I'm not seeing one here.

  3. It looks like cast members choosing clips are being done in order of seniority. So next week's lineup might be ED, BM, TB, LLB, JW.
  4. Seinfeld blew up in 1993/94, when it took over Thursday 9 pm and went from 25th to 3rd. 1994/95 Seinfeld becoming #1 plus the breakout successes of ER and Friends revived NBC's fortunes and ushered in NBC primetime's next dominant era.
  5. Tamron Hall Doesn’t Hold Back In Interview With Larsa Pippen: ‘Why Would You Date Michael Jordan’s Son?’ (yahoo.com) Finally someone calls her out.
  6. 1980s family sitcoms are very much products of their time and many of them have not aged well at all. As for sitcoms in 1988/89, it was after effects of the writer's strike that caused a lot of them to feel off and the breakout success of Roseanne was a sign that times and tastes were changing.
  7. 1987/88 I feel was the start of the decline of drama series. It seems very few hit dramas were left at this point. CBS: Murder, She Wrote was a hit but Cagney & Lacey, Dallas, Falcon Crest, Knots Landing; Magnum, P.I.; Simon & Simon were aging, and The Equalizer was not showing growth. Spring 1988 saw the end of Cagney & Lacey and Magnum, P.I. and one newer drama that showed no growth during its short run (Houston Knights). The new dramas from 1987/88 that would return were Beauty and the Beast, Jake and the Fatman, Tour of Duty, Wiseguy. ABC: Moonlighting was a hit but Dynasty was aging, Hotel was fading, and MacGyver and Spenser: For Hire were not showing growth. Spring 1988 saw the end of Hotel and Spenser: For Hire and two newer dramas that showed no growth during their short runs (Max Headroom, Ohara). The new dramas from 1987/88 that would return were Thirtysomething, China Beach, HeartBeat. NBC: Matlock and L.A. Law were hits and Hunter was showing signs of growth but Miami Vice and Highway to Heaven were fading and St. Elsewhere was aging. Spring 1988 saw the end of St. Elsewhere and four newer dramas that showed no growth during their short runs (Our House, Crime Story, Rags to Riches, The Bronx Zoo). The new dramas from 1987/88 that would return were In the Heat of the Night and Sonny Spoon.
  8. March Madness break is March 16 and 17. 50th anniversary week is March 27-31.
  9. The primetime soaps in the context of drama series history on their respective networks: Dallas and Knots Landing 14 season runs tie them w/ NCIS: Los Angeles, and places them behind Gunsmoke, NCIS, Lassie, CSI, Criminal Minds. Falcon Crest 9 season run ties it w/ Perry Mason, The Waltons; Walker, Texas Ranger; Touched by an Angel, JAG, CSI: NY, and places it behind Gunsmoke, NCIS, Lassie, CSI, Criminal Minds, Dallas, Knots Landing, NCIS: Los Angeles, Blue Bloods, original Hawaii Five-O; Murder, She Wrote; CSI: Miami, Hawaii Five-0 reboot. Dynasty 9 season run ties it w/ The F.B.I and The Love Boat, and places it behind Grey's Anatomy and NYPD Blue.
  10. You are killing me 🤣 The preview reads 10% good, 90% garbage time.
  11. For those who don't have Paramount+, the clips are also on The Young and the Restless (Official Site) Watch on CBS
  12. Y&R was 10% good, 90% garbage time. I was disappointed there were really no big stories to build up to the 50th anniversary.

  14. 1987/88 the peak of sitcoms, taking up the bulk of the Top 10. NBC sitcom dominance was at its height, taking 6 of the Top 10 spots. This season would be the highest finishes for A Different World, The Golden Girls, Growing Pains, Who's the Boss, ALF. The Cosby Show third consecutive #1 season and it was still a killer show. 18 out 23 episodes finished #1 in the week of their original broadcast, three episodes finished 2nd, and two episodes finished 3rd. Murder, She Wrote dropped from 4th to 9th. This season they faced time slot competition from Family Ties, which itself dropped from 2nd to 17th after the move to Sunday 8 pm. No primetime soaps in the Top 20. This was the season they all started going off the rails and were creatively exhausted by the end of the season. 1987/88 just feels like the natural end point of primetime soaps as a genre. CBS primetime lineup tanked this season and they dropped to 3rd. I feel ABC having three big sports events (World Series, Super Bowl, Winter Olympics) had a lot to do with their finishing 2nd this season.
  15. When was the last time we saw DD? I want to say the 12000th episode but I could be wrong on that.
  16. @ltm1997 For real? If that happened I'd be a total squealing fangirl 😂
  17. I've never been to Miami but I've heard it described as a fashion show by people I know that have visited there.
  18. I asked this here before, but was the mess in the 1980s due to chasing the big 1980s trends (Dallas/Dynasty influence, supercouples, action/adventure) but getting them wrong?
  19. Would you say that Roger's return was the shot in the arm that got GL to rebound from some rough years in 1980s? So Roger was more of an anti-hero than a full-on villain?
  20. Oh what a mess. Sad to see a show that I have loved for so long reduced to this.
  21. In the 1990s B&B was alot more risk taking with love scenes compared to Y&R. There were some that bordered on the type of movies that were shown on cable in the wee hours.
  22. Agree. So much garbage time.
