That was time when NBC (Fred Silverman) were ordering shows and throwing them on the air seemingly at random.

There were almost weekly schedule changes.Nothing from that time was a hit.Think Supertrain,Harris&C0, Cliffhangers,Little Women,Turnabout,etc

Gerald Gordon seemed determined to have primetime success.He mentions his ambitions in several interviews.The best he could muster was that killer ant movie on ABC and that flop sitcom...Wonder how he dealt with that?

That ant movie was so ridiculous - but then that was when everybody wanted to be another Irwin Allen. LOL GG did do a number of primetime gigs through the 80s into the early 90s - Knight Rider, One Day at a Time, Highway to Heaven, Baywatch, Perfect Strangers, The Hogan Family, L&O - but those were episodics, not a star-making vehicle. The actress playing his daughter on Baywatch was played by a young virtual unknown named Mariska Hargitay.

Haven't watched in a couple of weeks because I've been catching up on my other backlogged shows, lol. I've watched through Feb. 69. But I did tape and tonight watched GG's episode of Knight Rider. It was hard to get Nick Bellini out of my head, though! biggrin.png Add to it that Michael Fairman was on it, and I was thinking of his RH character, Nick Szabo!

I DVR'ed the Knight Rider episode myself. Did you record it off Cozi TV, too? There were two other soap names in that episode - Catherine Mary Stewart (Kayla Brady #1, DAYS) playing GG's daughter, and off course the Hoff himself, a Y&R alum. Michael Fairman was on Y&R himself a few years ago - but then, what show HASN'T he been on? Ever seen his imdb page? Wow!!!

Check your PMs because there's something I think you'd like to see. Always fun to hear your thoughts.

So all of the elements were in place at GH.Popular actor that TPTB were behind,major storyline,playing a similar character to the one that brought him success,yet Mark Dante didn't have anywhere the same impact of Nick Bellini.

Maybe it was lacklustre co-stars,poorer writing and the fact that Mark just reminded viewers of Nick and didn't measure up ...

    • Hold up, hold up, hold up!!!   MADISON MONTGOMERY???   If a Zoe, Misty Day, and/or Queenie shows up...lol.
    • The Producers Guild of America (PGA), while not a union, does have rules and regulations regarding membership, conduct, and yes, credits. Assuming she’s a member of course. Being uncredited for what work exactly? Given her years of experience and multiple Emmy wins - why now decide you want to go uncredited for work you’ve done? 
    • That's very sad. What party he represented for and which area he represented? 
    • -- Daisy is a terrible name. If you're not going with a family legacy name, you gotta do better than that. -- When Frank is done with a character, he makes sure that character is painted in the worst possible way and the shade is thrown in the script. Natalia is being treated like a punchline to a bad joke....not that I mind. -- So Cody talked about Britt today. Gee, I wonder what's going on.
    • I remember another Phyllis residence -- I don't think that was a set shown abovethread, but I'm not sure.  Trying to remember some things off the top of my head but I might be wrong about part of it: I'm referring to the condo where Phick first had sex after the Michael/Lauren wedding.  I think they specifically referred to it as a condo?  After Stafford's Phyllis went into a coma, Jack sold it and I think he gave money to HunterKing's Summer when she married Austin? Or he gave Summer the condo?    There was a convoluted side plot about someone needing money and something from this was drawn in a shady way.  Something about it being sold?  And then when GinaT's Phyllis awoke from her coma, she had no condo to come back to.
    • Which union rules? SMH. Jill’s back, uncredited. 
    • Yeah I don’t get why she wouldn’t be credited if she’s back. That seems odd. I hope it’s true though, because the show needs a change. Badddddd.
    • The casino scenes came out of nowhere in comparison to the rest of the week, but at least there was some movement in the storyline. Joey has really made a fool of Vanessa. Chelsea is really embarrassing herself with this doctor. The desperation is so obvious and she clearly gets that from Dani. Hayley was giving Donna Logan vibes because that is how Donna acted when Eric had a heart attack. Stealing potential evidence is not going to reflect well on Kat and might throw the case against Leslie. Tomas had no business in Eva's hotel room even if he did shut down her advances. But I think they still might end up together at some point because the book that Eva gave him is the same one Kat called basic which seemed like foreshadowing.
    • So Sharon decides not to go to France and stay behind to support Mariah, but now with Phyllis gloating about getting an invite I’m sure she’ll change her mind.    Mariah’s secret is that she screwed that old man? I’m so confused about what’s going on here, and Mariah coming out and telling Tessa that she can’t know her secret is supposed to do what exactly? Is that supposed to put Tessa’s mind at ease? Lol…. I’m getting Cameron Kirsten vibes though. Did he do something to her without her consent and things went too far? These writers really can’t come up with something original if their life depended on it 
    • Eve and Thomas have so much in common--they both like reading (print and audio books) and wow they both like reading *fiction*!  (Also I would never pick up a book called Mercy and Goodness yawn
