Nobody is mourning his loss. Speculating here, but I think the autopsy will reveal he had CTE. Not that it excuses the way he lived his life.

I pointed this out in the ratings thread, but I think the real issues began in the late 1980s with Iran-Contra, Nielsen people meters, and 1988 writer's strike, and everything culminated in the aftermath of OJ.

Yeah, I can't believe the reference to real time when thanks to SORASing we know it's not the case.

I think The Gates will launch after the March Madness break, so going by the March Madness 2025 dates on March Madness Final Four: Future dates & sites (ncaa.com) , I say series premiere is Monday March 24, 2025. As for what will be the time filler when The Talk ends, I think it will probably be extra episodes of The Price is Right and Let's Make a Deal, but deep down I'm hoping for Y&R/B&B classics.

I couldn't believe they mentioned the number of years in real time. I guess Victoria and Nick have de-aged to their real ages 41 and 35

Oh yeah, forgot about Chance. I was sensing some tension between Summer and Claire, and it looked like Claire was intrigued by Kyle.

Speculation: I think we're going to get a Summer/Kyle/Claire triangle. Cousins fighting over a guy.

Which cost him $5M.

Seinfeld clones too. NBC had so many garbage Thursday 8:30 pm/9:30 pm sitcoms in the Seinfeld/ER/Friends era. Some of those shows I have no memory of at all.

The ad @Paul Raven posted is for episode 4, Hooray for Homicide, original air date October 28, 1984.

@Soapsuds You reminded me of another remake of a Supremes song

Totally agree. There's just something so warm and comforting about Murder, She Wrote.

I don't believe so. Dylan has been wiped from the canon.

NBC Knight Rider. 1985/86: ABC MacGyver, later Disney Sunday Movie (7-9 pm). NBC 8 pm Amazing Stories, 8:30 pm Alfred Hitchcock Presents. 1986/87: ABC Disney Sunday Movie (7-9 pm).

The biggest Sunday competition I'd say was America's Funniest Home Videos as that was the only show on this list that was able to finish ahead of Murder, She Wrote in the seasonal ratings. 1989/90 America's Funniest Home Videos first season was 5th and Murder, She Wrote was 13th. 1990/91 America's Funniest Home Videos was 7th and Murder, She Wrote was 12th.

The Cosby Show and Growing Pains Both shows were set in New York. Both shows had a doctor father that worked from an office that was a part of their home. Both shows had a teenage son that struggled academically.

I hate when that happens. Your storylines are way better than anything Josh Griffith has come up with.

JM is 50 and his whole overgrown frat boy persona is just so ridiculous at this point.

Friday episode mentioned the anniversary of Victor and Nikki first wedding. With April 13 being a Saturday, the celebration episode would be April 15. In real time it's 40 years but given SORASing they can't really mention the number of years.

Same with Kimberly McCullough in 1989. She was 11 years old and won Younger Actress over Noelle Beck (21), Anne Heche (20), Martha Byrne (19). 100% this. The addition of the younger category meant lead was for superstars and long-tenured veterans, and supporting became a holding tank for those who aged out of the younger category but were not quite at superstar level or had enough years to be considered long-tenured veterans.

Larsa Pippen's Ex Marcus Jordan Suggests She's 'Rewriting History' After Split (people.com) With this development, who knows what's left for her to do on the show.

Agree. Who knows where Days would've ended up in the 1990s if it wasn't for Reilly.

20 years since this R&B classic album dropped.

Nick in a JT mask. What was that nonsense? I somehow blocked out so much silliness of the last decade.

Totally agree. I can't help but wonder though, is the threat of being replaced by a new show something CBS is hanging over Bradley in order to motivate him to fix B&B?

Jill parentage (2003), Cassie death (2005), and John Abbott death (2006) were the trifecta that lead to the end of Y&R as we knew it.
