AMC: Grade The Show/What Do You Think?

[DevotedToAMC]

I did this thread a couple of months ago and the grades for AMC were rather low but now I am seeing a lot more positive comments about the show so let's see where the current grades stand.

I give the show a B

Solid A

Character-driven, great balance, emotional, raw, smart dialogue....characters, relationships, and storylines that were ruined by McT are slowly being reworked, redeemed, and tweaked. Show is on a roll!

[Ryan]

I give the show an A for effort. It seems like they are making a conscious decision to bring AMC back to the glory of yesteryear.

I give the balance a solid B+

I give the acting an A++

I give the storylines a C+. They could be better, but they are trying to wrap up McTavish's nonsense. I wish some stories would be over ASAP, so they get a C for storylines. But the acting is a big part of making some of the silly storylines bearable.

Overall: B, pushing on a B+ and by the end of summer if things keep going well, they'll be at a solid A.

B+, you can expect my dissertation later this evening.

C-

For the fact that the Carey hobags are still dominating the show, and when they finally get knocked off their pedestals(and Ryan too) then I might grade the show higher.

Oh and C- cause of them trying to make Adam the bad guy in all of this when he was the VICTIM!

The balance is a little bit better and we're seeing the vets a bit more, but not enough.

Some of the SL's are still plot driven, not character driven.

C+

It is slowly improving,but when is AMC going to drop the filmlook? Are some of you getting AMC in the normal unprocessed video(like other soap operas)Except for that one Friday months ago,SOAPnet and ABC in Chicago,NY and LA are still airing the filmlooked episodes. Is this ABC's decision to keep AMC in filmlook or JHC's? I thought that they were finally getting rid of it?

Josh is still the fetus and for me as long as he's there, he's a reflection on MMT. Which means the show will never be above a D- for me.

[psychofan]

A+++++++++++++++++++++++

And that has been my grade all along, as I think McTavish was great. The acting is superb, The only characters I really truely hate are JR and Jon, my faves are featured all the time (Erica, currently Janet, Adam, Babe, Krystal, etc), the cliffhangers are jaw-dropping.....this list goes on and on...

[Q Steph]

Ditto.

[Josh]

Solid C+ pushing toward the B spot!! I am enjoying it much more lately...

[Ryan]

Kylie you know I love you girl, but giving AMC an overall bad grade just because of Josh is a little unfair. If AMC were to undo the story that made Josh Erica's son, it'll do the show more harm then good. To backtrack all of the storytelling it took to explain how he came to be, especially after having the audience sit through the storyline, would be a big slap in the face.

I don't look at Josh as "the fetus" anymore because he's much more than that. He's a good brother to Bianca and Kendall. The relationship between Erica and Josh is growing and he's being more than just "Erica's aborted fetus."

We all agree the story was horrible, but we can't live in the past. I happen to like Josh a lot more now than I have a few months ago. But then again that's me.

I still respect your opinion

[psychofan]

I completely agree!!!

[dragonflies]

Nope not seeing the filmlook and haven't for awhile

[alwaysAMC]

WORD

My feelings exactly. And you know I love ya too Kylie, but your anti-Josh posts get so repetitive. We get it! Still respect you and your opinion, but you should try to watch the show and form an opinion that way before grading a show D- forever just bc it has the 'fetus'.

[David_Vickers]

D. As long as Babe, Krystal & Josh are in the prime focus of the show and Dixie and Brooke are off the show, then this show will get the grade they so richly deserve. It saddens me that I no longer watch the show after watching this show for about 30 years (I'm 37 now btw).
