Ok, today is their special Prom Night musical. The previews kind of looked good, so I'm watching.....

And after that first musical number - I've about had ENOUGH. Haha - Why is Marcie gettin' jiggy wit' it all over her students like that?

Cole - he might be a cute young guy - but he is STIFF and just laughable watching him dance around all the professional kids.

I did like the song though....

Are they SERIOUS? I can't decide if this is the stupidest thing the show's ever done or if it's one of the cutest things they've ever done. What the show SHOULD have done was to put all this stuff into a standalone or two, not intermingle it with the rest of the show. And since when do faculty perform with the kids in high school plays?

In other news, is this blonde chick Sarah Roberts?

Anybody else watching?

I absolutely LOVED the song Blair sang to Starr. That was a nice scene.....except who has so many framed pictures of their daughter in one spot like that? All the pics looked the same anyway - haha. Still, great scene.

Well I hate it. I had a good 50% of the episode muted. I'll be so glad when all of this is over. All I know is that the musical itself better be good, because the preperation has been horrid to watch.

Ok - after seeing the "To Be Continued" at the end - I feel better. I thought we were going to get jipped there for awhile.

Alderson's talents are seriously being wasted with Brandon Buddy as her love interest. Buddy is HORRIBLE and in that last scene where he was 'singing' - he barely could open his mouth. I know he's always been horrible, but you'd think he could step it up for this highly advertised musical special - and he didn't. He was laughable and took me out of the moment.

Overall, it was ok. The songs were great and original. The direction needed a little help, and I didn't like seeing John and all the other horrible characters in the show....haha.

I'll tune in on Monday to see the conclusion of "Prom Night" though.

      Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.

      Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.

      I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.

      I just finished watching and I have to admit, not once did I find myself wondering who wasn't there. Quick question for anyone who followed this better than I did: was it only Andrew who rescued Cat and John from Clyde, or was Shane involved too? The reactions during their scenes today felt a little off to me. I know it was meant to be vague, but I didn't find it strange that they already knew each other.

      Yeah, financially, Luna is in better shape than Deacon and Sheila.   -- Scott Clifton must have decided to chew the scenery in every scene of this "Liam is Dying" storyline. Yikes.

      If J.R. wasn't busy with Ewing Oil, he'd be a heckuva soap recapper. He was SO gleeful at recapping Jenna-Bobby-Pam when the trio and Mark encountered each other at the Oil Baron's Ball. That being said, Lucy, presumably Sue Ellen and maybe Ray should all know this story, or at least part of it. Lucy was definitely at Southfork during Jenna and Bobby's relationship, and I believe Sue Ellen was about to marry J.R. around the time Jenna jilted Bobby. (Ray might not have given a damn.)

      ALL: Proposed Soaps Over The Years

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Broadcasting Magazine (May 5, 1980) : Future US-Next TV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive From a May 1980 Broadcasting issue: Meredith Broadcasting in association with Alan Sloan Inc has committed itself to produce series of five half hours in soap opera form, "designed for youngers 11-14 and their parents." Programs, yet untitled, "will deal with problems teen-agers face in their relationships with peers and parents," with script topics reviewed in advance by teachers, psychologists and others. First episode is to air on Meredith's five TV's in September and ground broadcaster also anticipates syndication. If successful, idea is to go to full-fledged series.

      Secrets of Midland Heights

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Broadcasting Magazine (May 5, 1980) : Future US-Next TV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Looking at an old Broadcast issue with a fall schedule preview. Their description of the show: Lorimar Productions turns its cameras "below the surface of a small, traditional, thriving college town still large controlled by its founders, the Millingtons." Plot elements include "nurtured dreams, closely-held desires, closeted shame and vital truths about friends and family." Lee Rich, Michael Filerman and David Jacobs are executive producers of the Roundelay production, in association with Lorimar.  They also mention the show in a small section about advertising's point of view.  Advertising agency reaction to the new fall line-ups announced by ABC and CBS last week varied. But upfront, some agency types were apprehensive that their advertisers might be turned off by some of the new "titillating" entries. "I'm concerned about the amount of permissiveness," said one executive, with CBS' Secrets of Midland Heights commonly mentioned as one possible offender.
