Even into the 90s, Ernie Anderson was still doing the voiceovers for the local news here in the Cleveland market (where he was based before going out West). I remember once his unmistakable voice was heard on an episode of Sister, Sister as the twins were watching TV. "Stay tuned for South Central - it's Full House in the hood!" LOL

khan, you're right about Sammy Jo/Stacy. I stand corrected!!

After two years I'm finally watching season one. It's absolutely great, the only downside being Matthew. He has no chemistry with Krystle or Claudia and just plain doesn't fit in. I don't mind Lindsey. She's just as neurotic as Claudia and I love it! But Matthew and that oil rig nonsense is a waste of time. I simply don't care.

Steven and Fallon are at their best here in season one. I can't believe how much they destroyed them. Steven and Claudia's affair is intriguing. Its too bad her marriage to Matthew is boring because it's the only downside to the story.

Only other thing bothering me is Blake randomly raping Krystle and the two minute non apology he gave her unless I missed something?

A few years back on Dateline NBC, Ted was shown the Jump The Shark web site with his listing . You could tell he was hurt even though he put up a front.

I miss that web site so bad. Those message boards gave me hours upon hours of joy reading all the outrageous and nasty comments about shows and actors. One of the funniest and most active was the My Three Sons board where they trashed Dawn Lyn who played Dodie. Dawn got wind of it and she got into some serious brawls with other posters. The site owner highlighted Dawns comments in red to confirm that it really was her.......LOL

Just started Season 6. The so-called "Aftermath" is just as bad, if not worse, as I've been told. But, then again, nothing about DYNASTY is ever good past season 3, so....

The worst stuff is probably Blake being present for the death of the second of Steven's lovers, clearly disapproving, only to come on the next scene, having changed his mind and accepted Steven's 'values' for absolutely no reason whatsoever, Krystle managing to fend off a rape from Yuri by slapping him and looking at him sternly, Warnick (the obvious placeholder for Alexis) supposedly being so powerful but dishing out NO consequences to the completely insubordinate prisoners, Fallon managing to get Miles Colby to ask her out just be existing and, dear God, Krystle crying in her cell, literally saying out loud that she's waiting for Blake to save her.

Rita/Sammy Jo are bad but at least fun to watch, in a trainwreck sort of way. And a bit funny.

The only interesting part was Krystle discovering that Galen is indeed alive. You know, that showed the revolutionaries had half a brain or something. Although they're terribly polite. They talk about executing everyone but never do it and let people walk all over them lol And seeing Miles for the first time on screen. DAMN, that man is hot.

On the other hand, the whole episode was almost worth it when Warnick propositioned Dominique and offered her champagne, to which she replied: "I don't drink with assass-INS" laugh.png I mean, I nearly died. Best Dominique moment EVER.

Yes, the show had started to fall apart by the seasons 5 & 6. They introduce the Falmonts and it seems like they are written out quickly, except for Ted McGinley's character. Kevin Conroy who plays Bart Falmont has been known for the last 20 years or so as the voice of Batman. Conroy had previously been on Another World and Search For Tomorrow.

The fight between Bart & Steven in the gym is so camp. They fight and then collapse and look at each other all dreamy.......LOL

    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.  
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 Loved her. I've never seen her Doctors work. 
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 I just loved Valerie on my early '90s TV shows. This one gets me. 
    • I assume they did at some point during the finale...
    • Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.
    • I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.
    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex?
