I was reading an interview with sally field in a mag, I now know why she is so loud and has a big mouth, she had a verbally abusive stepdad. She stood up to him one day by standing on a chair and yelling at him and thats how she handled him after that by speaking as big and loud as he was doing her. That totally explains alot. An she's also been in therapy since she was 17. An its easy for her to play characters with mental disorders aka ER/sybil, but she debates whether she should go there or not. I found the article to be really interesting and very revealing.

I find Sallys ometimes annoying though I adore her in the role...

Jack I agree in some ways that it's the best relationship drama since my beloved Once and Again though I wouldn't quite put them together--I love both shows but B&S is a bit more soapy (not an insult in my books) with plot twists like illegitimate children, business rivalries, and of course just how rich nearly every major character is. O&A was more relatable for me because it felt much more liek a real house or family I knew as a teenager (ditto the other Herskovitz/Zwick shows)--it also relied less on "what's gonna happen next!" and cliffhangars and was a bit more of a mix of a soap and a self contained episode series...

ANyway not meaning to disagree just really writing down the thoughts in my head. Can't wait for Sunday's ep :D

Oh i agree. I wasnt trying to really compare the two as much as point out that it is the best relationship drama since O&A.

I also agree about the diffrances you pointed out. However i do think that when you take away the soap plot turns the family on B&S is a extreamly relatable family.

O&A = best show ever. and i will stick by that forever.

GOD I love this show!

The entire restaurant scene was amazing.

When they all started dancing to the music and celebrating (after finally being happy) - and the call comes....my heart sunk and I started tearing up!

Perfect beginning and ending - loved the videos and the reflections of the characters.

This show is by far the best thing on TV.

It was a great show. They are so dysfunctional but in such a loving way.

I am really upset that Kevin finds love and BAM the man leaves. I know the actor has another show but really can I hope that show falls so he can come back.

Great show cant wait until next week.

I loved yesterdays episode. Their family outings are always a disasters. :lol: IMO B&S had the best premeire out of all of the abc shows this week, which is kinda shocking. I totally thought Uncle sal was about to tell Kevin he was gay when they were at the bar. I don't know about holly and nora being friends, I think its too soon and why the heck did she invite her to Kitty's party????

Viva is known to be probably the most likely show to get early cancelation so maybe Winter will be back--while I find him hot, and liek the role I have to admit a part of me finds him a bit too perfect for Kevin if that makes sense.

I liked today's show a lot though had a few nitpicky things--the Mom's video message as Summer recap thing felt a BIT forced to me for some reason as did the ending the show with the sister's... I dunno why. And I found the sudden "we all love this osng let's dance' a bit too cheasy-- BUT. I'm glad to have my fave show back :) (nice to see the Walkers seem to be drinking even more than usual too :P )

      You won't even accept a minute cameo from Ms Marcil herself so she can collect her cheque?

          Yeah. When even I am getting annoyed with it (and still need to catch up on DAYS new team...two weeks behind now grrr) enough to take a break...and B&B holds my interest more for a show where nothing is going on...it's a BAD sign.   Seriously thinking about that break until

       Then we go from there. I just can't believe JG just went and lost all the momentum that was built up over the last month. And during May Sweeps, too? No, ma'am.

      Works for me!!! Just the back of some brunettes head and a hug lol on the Island And also, I like how it's brand new info Mo was good at his job in the 90's.  That's pretty much the entire reason he's still on the show.

      I recently edited an older episode to do a Denise Alexander edit but Mo was in scenes & I had forgotten that back then he was actually good at his job.  The contrast with today is well alarming.

      Sonny looking down at the floor today and for a few episodes is worse.  LW at least brings energy and Steve seems engaged. I would cut Mo at this point.  The love fests with Laura and on and on with everyone.  Just go find Brenda off screen and beg for her forgiveness.  THX, BYE!

      I'd checked out of Y&R for a couple of years because it was boring as... I returned in August because the Sharon story sounded intriguing. I know some hated it, but let's face at least something was happening! It was a solid use of vets and on-screen history. I honestly don't get the Dumas storyline at all or the premature end to the Sharon/Phyllis kidnapping. The latter story actually could've gone on for months. Alan playing cat-and-mouse.  It's like they also did a 180 on Billy/Phyllis - the Valentine's Day dream, Billy *saving* Phyllis and a month later he kicks to the curb! What??? That's completely illogical based on their history. Please let Mariah's secret be a good one. At least, Daniel/Tessa/Mariah have a non-business related storyline!

      Nahh, Bill is through with Danielle, but I am getting so sick of her "all about me" attitude, so I am here for his shade.

      She is being forced on the audiences again; she and Sonny are the "gruesome twosome". Even Jason has been pulled back and made more tolerable this 'go round.
