I agree with the sketches, that's one of the main problems I have with the show. One they barely show the sketches, and two when they show them... they aren't that funny. The first two episodes were all about the "Crazy Christians" sketch, I thought the pay off would be seeing it... and letting the audience judge for themselves, but they didn't.

This show is terrible and a huge disappointment. The stories are very insulting to the audience, the whole show is a pretentious mess. Once the script leaked it was like "THis is the best new show"" and I don't think that helped.

Another thing that killed it is starting with a HUGE budget. I'm one who think Matthew Perry is annoying and miscast in the role. Had this been a smaller show like Sports Night, they'd go through exaustive casting sessions and find a more solid ensemble that has chemistry. Besides the high price cast members, the set, license fee, etc. mean that the show could never survive on decent ratings. It HAS to be a huge hit for NBC to make money and that was never going to happen with this type of show.

With some major retooling before it went to air it had a chance but now? I'm over it. I just hope Sorkin does a better job with his next show. This has no heart.

The show is terrible? Wow. Chris B., I so disagree. But it's a disappointment - the ratings are disappointing to me. I think it's a great show. But the budget was WAY too big.

Can it be saved? Probably not, but I hope so.

      GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

      Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.

      I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.

      Guiding Light Discussion Thread

      "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.

      Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.

      It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.
