+1 The physical comedy all around on the second episode was aces, but Hayes may have just earned another Emmy nom. Also Ben Platt. Guest Emmy Nom.

I would hardly call 2 Broke Girls a flop. It lasted for six seasons and had decent ratings the first few years.

I enjoyed Trevor. He was different than most men in soaps period. He did tend to be self-righteous once he became a lawyer. Of course, Collins and Kiberd couldn't stand one another.

How oddly specific! Maaaarrrry.

Because OLTL#1 Fan wanted to know... http://www.npr.org/2017/06/29/534916080/ohio-town-struggles-to-afford-life-saving-drug-for-opioid-overdoses This is the town I grew up next to and lived in for 22 years so my children could attend a progressive school there. This is also the town JD Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy, grew up in and writes about in that book. This is the town and surrounding area where a Democrat has not won the Presidential election since Kennedy. This is the town where I walked the streets for Obama in '08, and we came 137 votes shy of securing victory. There are many many good people there who outweigh the "bad;" so many struggling. So many just looking for ways to turn it around. The problem is very real...from all sides...

DAAAAAAMMMNN!

Aliki Prince was recast, because he was "too comedic" and they wanted to go in a more serious direction. I don't think he was around for much longer after this episode. Interestingly enough, both he and Dondre Whitfield were on Cosby. Of course, Dondre was recurring as Vanessa's Robert. I do not remember when Irene Ng left, but I did like her quite a bit. Obviously green, but not in a 'bad" way. I liked first Brian too, (Greg Gordon?) but given the direction that character went, I can see why they went with Borlenghi. The first actor had a more clean-cut look, and it made more sense for Borlenghi to be Trask's brother, Brian. This all takes me back.

OMG. First Terrence and First An LI...almost forgot they weren't originally portrayed by Dondre Whitfield and Lindsay Price. Thx

"He fired the first shot" "they can dish it, but they can't take it" just some thoughts...

I'm gonna go old school, because it came to mind: Word. Bottom line is racism. Pure and simple. How do you get a blue collar white West Virginian to believe that SOMEONE ELSE is the enemy that is taking jobs and tax money from you? Blame the black man or the welfare queen or the Mexicans. The reality is there has been such a long-seated plan very carefully designed by Those in Power (i.e. Rich White Men) to pit the Poor against one another. It is all very effective, because it keeps us living in fear of the Other.

Actually, this is a little more like my child broke it, and even though I didn't break it, I'm still gonna have to pay for it.

To me, this is what Roseanne, the show, did best. Two of my other favorite (similar) moments: 1. Jackie's phone call to the aunt about her father's death. "Dad's Dead!" This one is shown a lot, but it is a classic example of why Metcalf has all the Emmys and was so beloved. 2. The end of the episode where DJ wouldn't kiss the black girl. Roseanne and Jackie are at The Lunch Box, and a Big Black Man comes to the door. Roseanne acts as if they are closing, but eventually lets him in. The man turns out to be the little girl's father, and wants to discuss DJ and his little girl. After he leaves, Roseanne actually locks the door, pulls down the shade and says to Jackie, "We're not racist; are we?" Roll credits. So simple; so powerful, and yet left the audience to "figure it out."

Omigosh! I remember these promos. Fascinating People...Fascinating Lives.. And David Canary? Sheer genius. For the first six months I watched the show, I actually believed twins were playing the role. After all, they showed him as both Adam and Stuart in the opening pictures... She was Laurie, and she was awful, and I can't believe how she has broken out. That whole teen scene, with Ridings as JR, and Amanda Seyfried (who I also can't believe broke out, but has grown in her abilities) was such a snore. Remember the cyber messaging crap? However, this was very sweet regarding being starstruck by Kelly.

First of all, her hair was SO eighties!! It was interesting to hear the rumor about how Newhart would end, given the actual finale is in the annals as one of the more interesting series finales of all time. I was in high school at this time, so not following Friday night television. IF they didn't know it was ending, did the finale feel like a finale?

I'm not familiar with "Spoonful," but I agree that this was a wonderful interview. He was very well-versed and clearly a fan, but he wasn't overly pandering. As always, La Lucci was gracious and taken aback. Learning about her grandson was touching and brought out a very real side.

Harsh. Interestingly, the very things she decries, are the very things our nostalgic eyes see as the personality of the show.

Funny. I was "with Shonda" when she was "with Obama" 8 years ago. I had a chance to meet and speak with both Shonda and Kate Walsh when they stopped by the campaign office. Perhaps, she felt, as I did, that we needed to go with Obama's momentum, and Hillary could have 2016, giving the Democrats reign for a time to come. However, I don't think anyone could have predicted the complete implosion of the Republican party. I remember just before 2008 thinking the Democrats never could "get it together." I still think the Dems do not have as strong a position as the Republicans; it's just that the Republicans have tipped into crazy-land.

I always think of AMC and the Crystal Ball still this time of year. Ms. Lucci sure is getting mileage from this role in Joy. Very happy for her. And that green looks fabulous on her. I am not surprised Agnes Nixon is into that type of thing.

IMHO, it's fairly generic. The metaphors are a little too on-the-nose. Gosh, darn, it sure is pretty though. My favorite parts are the epitaphs and the "spiky ice fingers." I do truly like the Idea of the song.

At one time, AMC was the most-taped show on VCRs. Not sure when it lost this distinction, but I seem to remember this fact from the early nineties.

In honor of World Aids Day today... AMC was always cognizant when this day came around, even after the AIDS epidemic was not as prominent in the media.
