Nadal and Isner is gonna be interesting. I get so umcortable watching Iz because he's so damn tall.

But word on the street is that Sharapova "made" papa Yuri call Connors and fire him. They didn't get along from day one. Maria felt that Jimmy had no knowledge of women's tennis or her game. She felt he brought basic teachings to the table and offered nothing of value. Since Yuri insisted she hire Jimmy, he should be the one to fire him? Um no, Maria, ultimately, you hired Jummy and you have to man up and fire him. But what's done is done, Jimmy is probably toasted right about now (all he said was that he was going home and having a stiff drink).

My 2 favorite female players did battle, and of course, I love when S wins, but I would not have been broken up if Na had won.

The close score makes it look like a great match, but it wasn't. S played some bad Tennis, and I don't see her winning the US Open if this continues.

I had to turn, turned back later on and she won. I was happy.

My mom was making me laugh about del po saying how he was up and let Isner come back so he deserved to lose.

Li Na was handling it a little bit -- hope she steps it up even more for US Open if she's playing.

Really disappointed that Serena couldn't close the match today. She should be embarrassed! However, eventually, she will be where Fed is. They can't stay #1 forever, and her replacement is on her way just as Fed's was over a year ago. The tennis she played in Cincy? I'm shocked she made it to the finals. However, she is possibly the GOAT in women's tennis, but she is now at the point to where not playing well against the field is different from not playing well against Vika, Stosur and a few others.

She looks very healthy, but Vika wants the US Open, and she is possibly the only person to take it from S. Here's to hoping S remains #1 at least until February 14, which is the month she took that spot.

Congrats Nadal! Didn't see that match (or S' for that matter, just kept up with the score on Twitter), but because it appeared really tight, looks must see. Will have to check it out.

John Isner moved up to #14 with a final appearance at Cincy.

Milos in the top 10 didn't last very long...lol...he dropped to #11.

Richard went back into the top 10 with an early loss at Cincy..weird...lol

    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Anita vs. Leslie, bring it!
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
