Unfortunately not. I just have a feeling its over for HOUSEWIVES. I've not seen a single spoiler that indicates it will return to its former glory. Add SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL as competition and you're pretty much asking for trouble.

I'm giving it the season opener to prove itself and that's it. I can't afford to waste another season watching it.

And that's a shame, because I HATE GREY'S!

Question 1: Not this week but I would hardly say its over. Early reviews are that DH is going back to what made it successful in the opening season. More interraction between the main cast and above all funny. All the promos/spoilers I've read sound IMO amazing. Marc Cherry knows last season was a failure. I am confident he will return this show to its former glory.

I don't think Football will pose as big of a threat as some would think. We will see.

Erarly buzz is good, promos have been airing like crazy.

I am predicting DH will attract somewhere between 20-23 million viewers.

DH at its lowest last season still had a rating in the range of 14.5; I wouldn't be surprised if they can muster a rating higher than GA's 15.7 for the premiere unless for some reason football ends up affecting it a ton. So far there's been a lot of positive buzz around season 3 so I'm looking forward to it (and I have to admit I enjoyed season 2, though it plays out better on DVD without the month-long breaks).

Right but Luka/Abby started after the decrease. The decrease was due to all the Africa stuff and focus shifting outside of the ER. Midway through last season, the focus went back to the ER (with a one or two Dalfur episodes thrown in with Carter) and then Luka/Abby began to slowly come back together and the show just steadily improved. The finale was amazing and the premiere showed it wasn't a fluke. My point is ER saw an increase in numbers which can be attributed to no competition from Without a Trace and from the show having a bit of a creative renissance. The show has it's heart and soul back in the Luka/Abby pairing and ER needs a signature couple as an emotional center. Maybe Luka/Abby is not why the ratings increased a bit but they have created lots of positive buzz and, after awhile, that can translate into increases.

I would encourage anyone who previously watched it or who is searching for something to fill their 10:00 hour to tune it. I have read a few story plans and this year sounds amazing and it has already been amazing. Now if you don't like Luka/Abby or some of the other characters/actors, then I would suggest not tuning in but, other then that, give it a whirl. It really is in a resurgence IMO and I was one who was ready to quit watching early last year.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
