The prolife peeps will have a fit. But he my give Biden a little run on World Affiars but Biden still has the middleclass stuff.

As far as the GOP peeps go his better than Joe L but not by much. His was going to get killed with Rommey , so Ridge is best choice he could make. Just means they will have to try and make Obama even more scary!

IA with this post after this article. (Its right on the money!)

Now you hate the media but when the media was pushing Obama at the expense of Hillary you were fine with it. Can't have it both ways. The fact is those Greek columns are ridiculous. The fact is there is no love between the Clintons and the Obamas. The fact that in order for people to get into tonight's event they have to give up their cell phone number and/or other contact information so Obama can hit them up for contributions. It's appalling but it's true. These are facts whether they're on MSNBC, the network that loves Obama or Fox, the network that doesn't.

What the hell are those things behind GWB, Casey?! This was the scene when he agreed to take his nomination in 2000!

I just love someone who can tell me what I love and don't love. You say you want an honest, civil debate, and then you make a post like this proving the exact opposite.

I had some respect for you. HAD now being the opprotive word.

Oh, and one more thing.......please find out what you're talking about first before telling me what I like or don't like.

Thank you very much. :)

I think the majority of us realize that the pundits need all this "talk" so that viewers keep watching. While I agree that Obama got slightly more positive press than Clnton in the primaries, that's definetly not the case now. As a matter of fact it has been reported that approximately 70% of his press is negative compared to about 58% for McCain. The Huff post article is right on. The standards are quite different. In my opinion, the standard is set extremely high for one candidate versus another.

A stage is a stage. That's what is set up at Mile High Stadium. In all the conventions I've watched (and I've watched many), the stage is always similiar. I think it's done to set a tone of statesmanship. It's a very trivial point and it amazes me that it's all over the cable news.

Like I posted before CSPAN, no commentators, no commercials. Watch and form your own opinion.

In terms of the money and the cell phone thing. Well, you have to fund these things some way and guess what, you can say NO.

The Clintons/Obama's are working things out and it's just KILLING the Repugs.

When Obama gets into the White House you can bet Hillary will do very well for herself. If Mrs.Obama has her way Hillary will be getting a job for life on the High Court!

If all the GOP can come up with is to bash the arena this history making event is happenign in they TRULY need to go away and try another day!

BTW i'm watching Stevie Wonder sing and he RULES!

Nothing you've said changes the fact that the media coverage is biased and ridiculous.

Most of them just latch on to the first stupid thing they hear and repeat it over and over as if it will make it credible.

I don't care for the media even though I listen and watch. I am more keenly aware of their efforts to influence the public instead of reporting facts (excluding those who are paid to give their opinions). I don't need to hear Charles Gibson whining over McCain's fund raising disadvantage or Tom Brokaw making it seem as if being a POW makes it that a candidate is excused from running a mature campaign, being attacked on his political stance, and from saying anything than promoting war.

When the media does decide to report facts it's the kind of nonsense that isn't going to do anything for anyone. Are the columns that important? People are better off watching CSPAN and skipping the crap unless they can put it in its proper perspective.

      Y&R/B&B/GL Vault Updates

        It's working fine now.

        Question for the B&B group: I see @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded multiple seasons from Videoland  (in the folders that are to be put away). They are huge folders and difficult to download so I started breaking them down into months but I realized they are by season so for example, Season 4 spans from March 1990 to March 1991. Now I'm wondering where to actually place them, since we have the Full Episodes section divided by year, not seasons. And most of these seasons we already have in full, so these are duplicates. Not sure if it's necessary to keep the older versions. I could just make another new section for Seasons, so the main folders would be "Behind the Scenes and Interviews," "Clips," "Full Episodes," "Full Seasons," "Music CDs," and "photo archive Marquise" but I'm not sure that really makes sense. Also wondering since we have almost every full episode now if "Clips" can be deleted in its entirety, as it's nearly 300GB.

      CBS moving Murder, She Wrote from Sunday to Thursday was straight up sabotage. Les Moonves knew exactly what he was doing.

      I sure hope you’re right. The lack of sets is maddening!

      I'm hoping that the new studio might have more space, meaning extra sets could be permanently erected. Perhaps the current  set issues are due to limited space available at Television City as it shuts down for the redevelopment. But if more space means spending more $$$ we might be stuck with the current situation no matter where they move.

      Thanks @P.J. If my math is correct, Jordan Clarke runs were 1983-1987, 1989-1993, 1997-end.

      Knots Landing

      I was/am mainlining both the Dream Season and Season 7 of KL together, since that was the year of their big creative swap. That's the most I can take of Dallas consecutively. But I've been very preoccupied with other shows and work IRL and I need to get back to it after a long break from my Knots binge.

      Wk 1 95/96 MSW moves to Thurs, Cybill takes the Sunday slot. Thurs 8-9pm NBC Friends #3 20.5/33 The Single Guy #6 19.2/30 CBS Murder She Wrote #55 9.3/15 ABC Charlie Grace #74 7.6/12 FOX Living Single # 78 7.2/12 The Crew #80 7.0/11 Sunday 8-9pm NBC Mad about You # 15 14.6/23 Hope & Gloria #35 11.7/18 ABC Lois & Clark # 38 11.4/18 CBS Cybill #49 9.8/15 Almost Perfect #65 8.1/12 FOX Space Above & Beyond (2nd hr of 2hr episode) #51 9.5/15 60 Minutes was #19 so a lot of viewers didn't stay for Cybill. On Sunday, Sept. 24, CBS finished third on the night, and its performance among 18 -49 year olds was worse than it was with the older skewing Murder, She Wrote in the time period last year.  So moving MSW was a foolish move at that point. It was compatible with 60 Minutes and would probably have finished Top 20-25 for the week. They should have left Sunday alone and concentrated on other nights..

      I’ve been watching Knots and FC rather compulsively for a while now. Currently in fall 1983 with both. I had Dallas in there, too, but I am rather shocked at how stale that show gets after Jock’s death. Meanwhile, I can spend hours in the vineyards and in the cul-de-sac.

      What will actually change though? Does this mean the sets will be different too? Or how exactly is this gonna look like to the viewers?
