I turned it off... had no idea that was supposed to be a classic. Do they not get that when it comes to B&B, if there is no Susan Flannery, it's not a classic?

My CBS affiliate is habitually 10 minutes late on airing these. So annoying. I don’t love this one as much as last week’s. But it’s still head and shoulders above anything any soap has done in the past 15 years.

Somehow in alll these years of ATWT fandom, I never heard about CZ's reputation. But I'm OK with it. The person who brought us Barbara probably should be a bit of a diva.

I think the amazing thing about 90s era Y&R is how effortlessly good it seems. And I remember feeling that way about it at the time compared to other soaps. Everything about it is just so damn competent and you never question that it is going to hit all the beats it needs to. Even though we knew at the time that it was a cut above other soaps, you really appreciate it even more now.

I am so amazed by how damn good that episode was. This is why Y&R was such a ratings juggernaut in the 90s. So much happened in one hour of TV, and yet everything that happened felt earned and not cheap.

This is soooo freakin good. Why can’t they just keep airing sequentially from this episode?

Wow! I love the beach scene! Look how young and sexy they were.

My local cbs jumped into it at 12:37. No explanation, no nothing. At least I get to see it.

My local CBS isn’t showing it and isn’t explaining why they’re not showing it. How obnoxious.

IIRC, that cast photo was taken to commemorate the 11,000th episode.

I know Donna from RATSC, where she posted for many years... She is not a Jonnysbro-style troll. Y'all can be a bit cliquish, my goodness.

NYC was different back then. People simply didn’t go to Brooklyn. It just wasn’t done in polite society.

Anybody who is talking about Barron needs to get a life. Barron is a child who never chose to run for the presidency. This shouldn’t need to be said.

Totally disagree. I watch a few DAYS per year. Maybe 20. I certainly find them stupid, but I also find them comforting. It's not hurting anybody by being on. Though if we could get a choice between reruns and new episodes, I'd choose reruns in a second. I think you need to make your pronouns clearer here. QFE.

What on earth does that have to do with tennis? It doesn't matter which one of them won, neither one was going to replace the man in the White House. I thought it was really great of Osaka. She tried to give Gauff the closure that Gauff maybe didn't know she needed in the tournament. And Gauff will be back.

DJT has permanently killed the idea of the media as objective arbiters, that is for sure. We have nothing but opinion media now. It is just the new reality, and it probably already was, but now it's official. Yuck.

That ad is grade A trolling! Susan has always been the Jan to Olympia Snowe's Marcia, and she knows it. Olympia saw the writing on the wall and chose not to run for re-election in 2012. She wanted to get the heck out of the toxic environment that the Senate had become by then.

Lil Nas X probably did him a huge favor. I could definitely see something like that being a "Howard Dean Scream" moment.

I can definitely picture Joseph Cross. He had a big growth spurt and just showed up one day during the Margo Hepatitis C storyline like 6 inches taller than the last time we'd seen him. I have zero memory of Ian Boyd and Peter Vack in the role. Or Scott Porter for that matter. But Joseph Cross, Zach Roerig, and Billy Magnussen were all memorable to me.

I love when soaps re-record the same scene with a recast. There used to be a Brenda Dickson/Jess Walton one on YouTube that was to die for.

Kamala Harris has had the strongest performance of any candidate thus far, IMO. Bernie and Biden are doing fine, but I don't see them doing anything to appeal to those outside of the people who already support them.

I love how Delaney keeps begging to speak and then the moderators are like, "ugh, fine, you can have thirty seconds, I guess, but then don't say anything for a while." 😂 But you can't blame them because he does nothing with the little time they give him. Why is he running?

😂The worst thing is you could see the wheels turning in Booker's head when Beto spoke it first. "NO! That's my cool party trick that I do." IDK, Booker is just such a goober to me... Like, why do you keep mentioning that you face constant gunfire in your neighborhood? You were mayor of the city you live in, so that makes you look not so great. To me, Julian Castro is having a breakout night. He is offering a lot of policy ideas but delivering it well. Warren is not having a great night, at least to me. I really dislike deBlasio but he has been making the most of the little time he has gotten (although I've been able to finish a few of his sentences, having heard them before. I guess NYC was the test audience.)

I mean, that is a totally unfair question to Bernie or any candidate over a year before the convention. “Oh nobody has voted yet, but will drop out if you lose?” The message that he is seeking to undermine the presumptive nominee and contest a convention is underlying in that question, when he didn’t last time, and it is way too soon to assume he would this time. Idk. I hate that question. It would be different if it were June 2020 and he were asked that question and he was in 2nd place. “Are you gonna stay in this and harm the presumptive nominee?” Fair question. In June 2019, “if you’re hypothetically in 2nd a year from now, will you drop out?” FOH. That’s not a fair question.

The Dem debate lineups are out. The first debate on Wednesday, June 26, in Miami will include: Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren Former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard Washington Gov. Jay Inslee Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar New York Mayor Bill de Blasio Former Maryland Rep. John Delaney Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan The second debate on Thursday, June 27 will include: Former Vice President Joe Biden Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg California Sen. Kamala Harris New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet Author Marianne Williamson California Rep. Eric Swalwell Businessman Andrew Yang Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper The draw was random, but the second night is definitely more stacked. Is Warren blessed or cursed by being the biggest name on night one? On one hand, she will be the most recognizable face on the stage. On the other, they'll all probably be coming for her.
