Lol looooove the line about GH it was spot on.

[dragonflies]

OMG is he serious about AMC?

The show is a clusterfuck, everything goes around and around in circles with no resolution and no forward progression....

[NYC123]

LOL to AMC.

With B&E still writing I think its still terrible!

[Cheap21]

Erica going to jail is a good thing. WTF? That story makes NO sense and is the absolute worst part of the show. Erica is being written completly out of character

<<<All My Children now seems sharper and smarter than it was before the strike>>>

What the hell is he smoking? This is another reason why this idiot knows nothing about soaps. The show has gotten a little bit better but not enough

[Chris B]

The show hasn't gotten better, it's just so shocking to see Erica in a real story along with black people so it makes AMC seem better. Honestly, IMO AMC is one of the best soaps on TV, but keep in mind I FF every scene that doesn't have Angie, Jesse or Frankie. When you look at it that way, I see what Logan is talking about.

His assessment of GH, Y&R and ATWT was spot on!

[juppiter]

ATWT started the strike off strongly, but has become unwatchable IMO.

[dragonflies]

Sorry but I disagree that AMC is one of the best soaps on tv. It's not even close to being that IMO....

[Khan]

Not necessarily. I remember a time when lesbians, rape victims, pro-choicers and the so-called Christian Right were all ticked about Bianca's rape and pregnancy. Now, that, Mikey, is impressive.

[Chris B]

Like I said, I fast forward every scene that doesn't involve Angie, Jesse and Frankie. The show is pretty damn good for me! No annoying Ryan, dull Zendall, Ava, etc. I'm in heaven.

[dragonflies]

LOL well that way, yeah I guess I can see that

[DevotedToAMC]

Well AMC had a good episode today because Bug Eyes was not on it. Unfortunately, we only get a one day reprieve because he is on tomorrow

[bakedghoti]

brilliant article! now this is how soap journalism should be! everything was on point without the need for trashiness. it was hilarious, esp. the parts about b&b and atwt!

[JackPeyton]

couldnt agree more.
