So funny to see this thread bumped as just the other day I was going to ask you guys if there were any shows like this running on VH1 this summer. I'm in the mood for mindless, fun, OTT trash. I'm still sad about the Buckwild tragedy.

Cheap is correct, I didn't mean to alarm anyone about Becky! That was her name, right? "Can I axe you a question? Where da HELL did your accent go!?"

Did you all see Gitte on OWN's Where are They Now? talking about how those shows with Foofie-Foofie were bad for her career? Career, tho? She's still with that same dude. I'm cracking up right now remembering that shot of her walking down the aisle in the wedding chapel for the previews of the next week's episode. We were all like, "Ohhhh God..." And of course Flav pouring one out for her on the runway as she flew off, hahahahahaha...

Sister Patterson is truly an evil person. I've been watching Family Therapy and that woman seriously makes my skin crawl. She was always a whack job on FOL and ILNY but she's truly something else on Family Therapy. Saying she would take Tiffany's baby and raise it as her own? Always saying with such certainty that Tiffany wasn't pregnant and would not be having a baby? Unless everyone's in on it and this is some made up storyline, then I fully believe she caused her daughter to miscarry. 

 

Love Steve Harvey's reactions! He knows Sister Patterson is the type of crazy you don't want to engage with.

I saw them on Steve Harvey, a late night rerun, and I was so disgusted!  It's not fair to judge people by their looks, but real talk, the woman just *looks* plain evil.  And Tiffany was being so very very extra as usual it was hard to fully sympathize with her Bill Cunningham School of Acting performance.  But no one deserves Sister Chupacabra.

I LOVE that they're in the spotlight again but not like this. Their "volatile" relationship is hard to stomach most times. I wish they weren't at odds so much and were more of a unit. I really like their theatrics, individually. LOL.

 

I have to agree overall they'e just too extra these days that it's not as fun anymore!

 

I've been watching Family Therapy on VH1 as well and damn sister Patterson is NUTS. OMG. But I love her connection with Bam Margera and how she shades Dina Lohan :lol:

I didn't expect Family Therapy to be SO good! Bam and his mother are adorable and I to love the connection he and Sister Patterson have. She can't be all evil because it's clear that she truly wants him to succeed! Oh man and the 16 and Pregnant sisters and their mothers revelation?  Just wow! You can't write this sh*t!

 

But yeah, Tiffany was way over the top when trying to cry about her miscarriage. It's a way sad topic but it just didn't ring true. Perhaps she was doing her inner cry? :lol:

    • 1999: I just watched it. It felt so primetime. La Lucci is making history. Aretha's daydreaming segment. @Contessa Donatella Thank you, my love. So helpful and informative as always. adding them to my queue.
    • I know this isn’t a usual or anywhere near universal take, but I loved the relatively brief Hal/Emily relationship/marriage more than I ever thought I would have with KMH/BH.
    • In my field (not that) I've written my share of dreck when it's what people wanted vs. something good. In the end what matters is the check. These pilots may not be great, but whether or not those writers intended otherwise they got paid.
    • I think there is plenty to critique and/or roast about the show, but I think there's also good bones and a lot of progressive improvement. It's the Bell/B&B formula and house style that is hardest for it to shake and the most necessary IMO, as well as some dead weight actors or characters, but that formula also apparently works for a lot of general viewers and I suspect CBS. OTOH it's also very modern in certain ways (sometimes overly hip dialogue, and some story) that still make it feel like a show that's bouncing between distant past staples of soap opera fundamentals and the present moment. And the old fashioned product placement is fun but also so goofy, while material like June is hysterical. Imagine leading with 'the underpass is where I live, and I like it there!' It's an unusual show in that way, because its identity and tone is still not fully formed. You don't know what it'll be. But that's normal at this juncture. The closest thing to a glimpse of the future foundation, I think (besides the obvious core family setup that's been there since Day 1), is the rivalry and future familial bond - and likely love/hate relationship - between Kat and Eva. A la many central sisters or siblings throughout soap history.
    • I loved Kelley Menighan! She was an MVP, especially during the show’s last few years. I always looked forward to anything she did with MM, BH, CZ, MW,  and the two grownup Alisons. Wasn’t a big fan of her with RH’s Paul. I always admired how she balanced being a vixen and being neurotic.
    • LLC can be a lot (lady definitely doesn’t phone it in), but her scenes with Rena made me wish they played actual sisters on a better platform.  Aside from JE, who is a legend so it’s no surprise when she’s excellent, Amanda Setton is my MVP of this story and she hasn’t always been great in this role. You see so much happening in her face as she’s navigating the shifts and layers of this story. She’s fully locked in. Glad Rory Gibson is getting his due on GH. I knew he had more to give than what Y&R was giving him. The writing will be a factor here as well because the character of Michael hasn’t been written well in ages (if ever, arguably). GH just can’t sustain the good stuff for more than a few weeks. Alexa Havins is a very good actress and was widely embraced as Lulu initially, but the character’s one-note abrasiveness has a lot of folks wishing she was gone at this point. 
    • It's pilots like "Hurricane Sam" and "Anything for Love" that makes me so afraid to write professionally, because, my God, what if I actually tried and came up with something just as awful, if not worse (if that's even possible)?
    • JANUARY 1974 SPECIALS ADDED... Here are the January 1974 specials which have been added to the yearly list on page 76:

    • Wow, you have the patience of a saint watching through this period. I think the show does get better but it takes a while.  I won't give any spoilers about Zachary, but I will drop a slight hint: GL was probably trying to get a ratings boost by doing a story inspired by one of CBS's few primetime hits in the mid-1990s. And no, Zachary does not turn out to be a Texas ranger.
