1) THE COLBYS appeared to be too much like DYNASTY. It looked like a complete carbon copy. They even named it DYNASTY II, for God's sake (which I thought was an incredibly ego-maniacal thing for them to do)! It didn't seem to offer anything different than what viewers already got with DYNASTY. 2) The show came along at a time when primetime soap operas were starting to lose steam. People were getting tired of them. DALLAS was already on its ninth season, KNOTS on its seventh. They had been around forever. 3) This was at a point where DYNASTY had severely disappointed fans with the resolution of the Moldavian Massacre. The thin veil of deceit around the show was finally crumpling. The audiences/critics could no longer deny the show was sh!t. And that was when they introduced a spinoff. Really bad timing. All this plus there could have been issues of timeslot etc. As for DALLAS and KL... Wow, I don't think there were any similarities. At all. It's one of the reasons why the show was able to stand on its own two legs and eventually found success.

Exactly! LOL It's in August, so I think I can wait till then! Ha!

Oh, I don't plan on buying it. This is going on my birthday/Christmas lists. The point is, it's ridiculously priced. This show is nothing. It does not warrant $120.

The quality does look great. It seems it is following the quality of the DYNASTY releases. BUT, like I said earlier, this is a one-off release from a show few will have interest in. It's not DYNASTY. You can't price it so literally (i.e. so much for one season? Just double it! lol). Besides, the actual price is 119. Only through some hocus pocus does it go down to 70, which is still a lot to shell out at one time. Once the promotions are gone, it's too expensive. $60 bucks for one season of THE COLBYS? In what f-cking universe? And if they were smart, they would price it competitively at $50 TOPS and I would be waiting outside the store before it even opens to get it the day of its release. Those who see this at a store and get nostalgic might pay $50. If it's 80/90? No way.

I hope so. Or maybe Amazon will have it for much less. I'm not paying $83 even if I am obsessed with owning TV shows on DVD.

Just saw this! So exciting! And the cover is great: I think it's a great idea that they just did both seasons together. God bless Shout! Factory. But they have it for $83... and the list price is $119! I mean, come on. You can't get so greedy with some short-lived soap opera from the 80s... if this were around 40, it would be a STEAL and I'd buy it the DAY OF the release. But to literally price it as two separate seasons? No.

Mehcad Brooks has been cast as Jimmy Olsen. Wow. A tall, sexy, muscular Jimmy Olsen? And that voice....... Interesting! I didn't realize Berlanti is involved in this. I tend to really like his shows.

Can we share thoughts on latter-Madonna, when most agree it hasn't been the same? Let's say... everything after MUSIC? What do you think about American Life, Confessions On A Dancefloor, Hard Candy, MDNA? I know most dislike them, especially HC and MDNA, with the possible exception of Dancefloor. Are there any particular favorites or good things you feel/think about those albums? I've always loved Miles Away and Give It 2 Me for example, but HATE 4 Minutes. And I think Gang Bang and Masterpiece are brilliant. Dancefloor I've always loved as a whole and stuff like Love Profusion and Nothing Fails are beautiful.

LOL! Yeeeeeeeeeeeees!

I haven't listened to them yet! Just Living for Love, which I adore. I gotta get around to it, soon!

Naughty, naughty Karen! A nightgown in 1968?? Tsk tsk... And inviting Matt into her room to "help" with the window. Oh myyyyy.

Those two were amazing together. Beyond fabulous.

I heard Style on the radio for the first time the other day and I got SO excited. Too excited! lol Another extremely radio-friendly single. If they play their cards right, she might end up with five big hits from this album.

Yeah, you never know how it will work out. Maybe it's what's needed. We'll see. I am here until the very end, too. Hopefully that won't come to pass for a while LOL

Although it would be rather soapy.......

BARF. I'm going to reserve judgment until it happens but... BARF.

And I really should start Season 6... I just don't have the heart for it. Season 5 nearly broke my spirit! lol

Thanks, Paul Raven. Fascinating. I never tire reading about Irna Phillips because drama followed everywhere she went. And it's always great to get a look behind the scenes of the fabulous anomaly that PEYTON PLACE is!

DaytimeFan would probably be able to speak more accurately on this but I don't think he looks bad at all. The man is almost 60 years old and he's always had a round, full face which, with age, has become more prominent. Other than the redness, which might be perfectly normal, I think he still looks pretty darn hot.

Unfortunately, the ratings don't look too good. 0.1 rating (same as last week) and 195,000 viewers (a slight increase). These don't seem like numbers that would warrant renewal. .Not being after GIRLS but rather after a new show has really hurt LOOKING. We might be looking at the last season

lol You mean TOGETHERNESS?

All this stuff is Marland, isn't it?

Yep. I'm glad she seems to have realized she needs to tone it down, return to her earlier pop days and focus on that (or at least I hope her collaboration with RedOne implies that). She should beg Max Martin to work with her. I wonder if he would.

Lady Gaga back to working with RedOne for her next album. Seems like a wise move. http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6443520/lady-gaga-back-in-the-studio-with-redone
