Lorie and Vanessa at each other's throats. You can see Vanessa now in all her veiled, nasty glory (At the very end, you get a quick glimpse of her spying on them in her two way mirror. )

TPTB today are under the false impression that viewers aren't patient enough to sit through long scenes like this (And these are VERY long scenes) and it's these scenes that give all that in depth character development. Also, virtually all shows today are run by committee, and it completely destroys the focus. Only two people wrote all that dialogue in these clips, and that was Bill and Kay. Jaime Lyn Bauer is very unique, in that she walks the line between realistic actress and campy scenery chewer, but she never really crosses over it. She just somehow makes it real, and makes you BELIEVE that Lorie is a drama queen, as opposed to an ACTRESS being a drama queen.

She does in parts, in other parts, not. The veil made her WAY creepier, IMO. Yes, there is the complete suicide scenes, but none of the other stuff your'e referring to. A fair amount of scenes with Dennis Cole as Lance, and WOW was he gorgeous!

She is! She was so cold and unemotional, she even spoke to her sons like a salesperson greeting a customer in a department store. Lance gets home from a long trip, and the first word out of her mouth is "Welcome". Who the hell tells their son "welcome".

Continuation of the previous clip, Stuart comes to Lorie's apartment and opens up the whole can of worms.

Yes, that's why the music score was considered by so many to be a character unto itself. And that's why what Jill Phelps has done has destroyed the show more than any writing issue could. And yes, that was definitely Dorothy Green shot from the back, it was just a directing choice.

It was 1977 going into 1978. The wedding between Mark and Lorie that never happened was supposed to happen on New Year's Eve 1976.

Yep. in episode 1, he tells Stu, "I'm told that it suits my disposition" Ok, get ready for the goodies, ladies and gents! (From 1977)

Toups...bodysuit my ass, she was wearing hotpants.... HOTPANTS! That's one article of clothing I never thought would make a comeback, but by God, I'm seeing it with alarming regularity, usuaally worn by women too skinny to pull them off.

He's an absolute imbecile if he thinks he has a prayer of winning the white house. There aren't enough rednecks anymore to make him win an election.

My right wing niece thinks Rick Perry hung the moon, so I'm thrilled at this turn of events. I hopes he burns, so her little bubble can burst.

Kansas City lost out o.n the convention because they didn't have enough "Infrastructure". Really? We had enough infrastructure for the 1976 convention. And now there's the huge Sprint center for large events. Oh well... Cleveland it is! I wasn't looking forward to the traffic issues it would cause anyway.

Yay Wendy at 8:00, speak the truth! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAD_9RSvqKE

Fierceness personified! I think Viola is just gorgeous!

I think college is highly overrated. Either you got it or you don't. Going to college does not equal an intelligent, successful career, if your'e a bit dim to start with, all it turns out is educated idiots. My particular career is not one that requires a degree, although you "could" have one and maybe be a bit more successful. But I went to my school of choice, and talked to the horticulture professor, and once I determined I knew more than HE DID.. I thought "Why?" Why pay tens of thousands of dollars to be taught something by a person who knows LESS than you. What's the point. Save your money, go to the library and teach yourself. That's what I did. You only have to go to college if your'e a doctor or other profession that absolutely requires a degree of some kind.

McCook and Lynde having disco fever!

My friend Danny made this, WAY too funny not to share!

Woohoo!!! Look what I just dug up! Too bad soaps don't get prime time promos TODAY!! At 25:24 The date of this broadcast was September 16, 1973. The station identification and opening of Hawaii 5-0 is neat to see, too. A real time glimpse of what 70's TV actually was like, commercials, stations ID, and all.

It's not dissapointing on video, trust me... Conboy made the visuals totally work on every level.

At times it was right smack in Dark Shadows territory. I remember so well the next day after this one, when Katherine went to the cemetary to reveal herself to Brock, standing on a hill behind him, with her white chiffon blowing in the wind.. Julianna can tell a creepy story like no other, though. It just makes your skin crawl, and just on the audio!

I don't think Mariah and her 220 million records under her belt are in any way threatened by a low-class minstrel who has only sold 5 million records and can't even sing. Once her flavor of the month has worn off the tongue, she'll die of a drug overdose or be living in section 8. Mariah will still be filthy rich. I totally agree with Wendy, Mariah and Queen Latifah would have been much better together on the panel.

Appropriate since Nicki is a clown.

This just never gets old.......
