The City got an awesome ending yeah. Glad I still have the last 3 months of it on tape. They did a good job of wrapping ups torylines but not making it seem too closed and then ended to a montage of the "Love you" Abbey Road/beatles track that showd all the characters and then showed behidn the scenes--the staff all waving etc

Originally Loving was to be done by Agnes with Dan Wakefield--the novelist who adored AMC so much he wrote All her Children in the 70s. I always wondered what happened

You had an interestign childhood TC

You don't know the half of it. But my parents did get back together and remarried before my dad died. My father's second marriage "experiment" was probably along the lines of SWINGTIME, from the little bits I've heard. The third was just a bimbo who lasted about a year. My partner/husband calls my mother DORIAN LORD.

For some reason CH stopped airing The City before the finale. There was always something cool about seeing it in English with French subtitles.

Yotuhbe used to have that epsidoe of Loving from season one when Marland was still writing before that mysterious fight and it is REALLy good classic soap opera--almost like AMC in the 70s

I think maybe that was the prob--by 1983 audeinces for soaps didn't want early 80s AMC. AMC was starting to get bigger--the big families and business we still know like Courtland Electronics, Chandler Enterprises and I always thought Agnes wanted to put back some of her old AMC to Lovin. They never really expolited the college campus part of it enough either... T hat said I wish I coudl find the tv movie that introduced it--i know it was on video for a while

Eric, email me at [email protected] and I can help you out with that... The pilot movie is still on the WoST server -- and it is waiting for you to watch it! When you email, you'll get an automatic return about the site closure... ignore that message and I'll filter your email through...

Since when is Tolkien highbrow LOL

Since like... Forever?! Precisely because he is misunderstood. People think he writes fairy tales about elves and dwarves and dragons and all sorts of other creatures...

I dunno that's me being a book snob--and I appreciate Tolkien but nearly every jock and nerd alike I know read at least one of the Rings books as a kid or teenager...

i never have. nor i have seen the movies.

idk if we were supsoed to in school and i was busy or if we never had to.

Here's the burning question, WOSTBRIAN.

Which current soap has the best theme in your opinion? I'd tend to go with DAYS, Y&R or B&B (though B&B sounds a little too network newsy now)... but AMC seems to be the best of all. The rest are pretty awful.
