GL

Justin Deas is an over rated actor who relys on over the top theatrics such as yelling spitting and wind mill flinging arms. I have no idea how the little troll won so many emmys or why people like him.

Zimmer is over rated also, though she can pull it off by the force of her personality.

FLOVED, Brent/Marion as written by McTrash, it was scary, funny, dark and sometimes outrageously creative as it at times spoofed soaps ( I thought the scene where the cops got the email from Marion was one of the best "reveals," ever...."The part of Marion Crane will now be played by BRENT LAWERNCE!!! as Marion's face desolves into Brents ala Aunt Em's face turning into the witches on WOZ.) and sometimes had some interesting things to say about gender politics (never thought you would hear that written about McTrash.) I thought the blood test switch, which caused so much outrage in people was a creative twist (he is supposed to be a villian people, he wanst going to politically correct or sensitive.)

I think both LW and Beth Ehelers are two of the most grating, sharp and annoying actresses in daytime, I am glad GL is rid of both of them.

I didn't care for Kelly Ripa as Hayley

I hated Brenda for screwing up Sax

I like the Zacchara's

I've never cared for Jack Wagner

I too liked the GL life savers opening

I sorta like GL's new format

I wish GL got a little more discussion on this board and that people would talk about things other then the fact that the show is dieing, all the time

True dat.

I didn't just "not like" Sabine; nay, I loathed her portrayal. And yet, I think the whole mishandling was terribly rude.

And now I might as well pull out a few of these:

AMC

I thought Mct's Baby Switch Storyline was one of the best crossovers and one of AMC's top storylines since I've been watching (circa 1990)

I never understood all of the Reggie Love or Dani Love (explain?)

I liked Jack better with Erica than Dimitri (ducks)

I think SMG's Kendall and AM's Kendall are two different Kendalls (at least in the last few years) and both actresses are/were suited to Kendall at the time (can't imagine SMG playing Kendall in her current incarnation, although I think Kendall needs to regrow her balls)

I like Aidan

I liked Dixie in 2006 way the hell better than Dixie circa 1996

Thought Kelli Giddish was wasted

Prefer Robin Mattson's rehabilitated Janet over Kate Collins JFAP

Always thought Noah had a stick up his butt to hold up that chip on his shoulder.

Cassandra is saving the teen storyline, and with some coaching, could become a great younger diva, a la Taylor Roxbury-Cannon

I'm sure I"ll think of more later...

DAYS:

- I am really enjoying the show right now. The storylines are stupid, the dialogue is terrible and the show doesn't really make sense. Even with that, I'm enjoying the show, and I don't give a feck who doesn't agree with me.

- Ron Carlivati has too much of a hard-on for 80's OLTL, and forgets the show's true creative golden era of the late 70's/early 80's.

- OLTL has traditionally been the weakest of the core ABC soaps. Unlike AMC and GH, it never really stood out, which is why it tends to be called the red-headed step-child of the ABCD lineup. Of course, it's in better shape than AMC and GH at the moment though.

GH:

- I hated Skye and Luke. I felt Robin Christopher always got the short end of that pairing. When Tony went away for vacation, so did her story. It wasn't fair and she deserved better.

- Scrubs is overrated

Another World from 80-83 was excellent, i love the episodes currently showing on AOL video.

Hogan Sheffer didnt get Days, and didnt get the DiMera's at all.

General Hospital is a joke, there is no one thats recognizable on that show anymore, and its as much as a clusterfuck as GL.

Ron Carlivati isnt the best writer in daytime, I find OLTL to be boring and cheesy. How many times is Vicki going to die and see everyone from her past in heaven......?????????

Dena Higley needs to be paired with a Days writer from the past, Maggie DePriest or Sheri Anderson anyone?

SoapNet is a joke, I want to see classic soaps, not Dallas, BH 90210, and One Tree Hill and the OC which have been played out 2 years ago.

Chris

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

    • I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...
