with new hires like Carmen and Randi, Fusion certianly has lowered its standards. All you have to do is look pretty and answer phones? The only qualification involved wearing makeup? Figures why this place of business is a joke. We already had strip shows in the middle of the office. Maybe Randi can teach the girls how to turn tricks. Im really sick of how almost every woman under 30 has to work there at some point. Its ridiculous

When I heard the line about "we're turning into Kendall and Greenlea" I thought to myself, "Of course you are! They are both getting "older" and ALL soap corporations must be ruled by people in their 20's at the oldest LOL. Just because it is All My CHILDREN does not mean it has to BE all children.

:P

I think it already has, just not officially. This is all setting up his stories. He said in his SOD interview that he met with the writers a month before his first official day (so late May) to tell them what he wanted done so the show was where he wanted it to be for when he took over full-time.

I think if you take what we're seeing now and add in tons of Taylor Thomson and her story (because Pratt admitted he overloaded on Taylor right off the bat) then you more or less get Pratt's AMC.

I think this is a transition point for the show and I don't blame Pratt for it. Even if he told B&E where he would like the show headed before he took over, their writing is what is still airing and it's just as shallow and manipulative as its always been. We'll have to wait 2 more weeks to see if Pratt can add some depth and character-driven storytelling. Even then, I'd give him at least 3 months to see what changes he makes.

As far as this episode goes, it was the first time in a while that I ff'd through Kate Hall's dialogue but I couldn't stand to watch the Stupid Sextet or the Fusion sorority.

I love Pete Cortlandt! I actually felt sorry for him due to Colby's cold-hearted dismissal of his feelings for her.

I still like Dre/Cass.

Tad/Jesse were funny at least even if their excuses for going through Annie's car were flimsy. Hopefully, this marks the beginning of the end of this boring Richie plot.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.

      Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol

      Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?

      The Golden Girls 30 years later

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.

      It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
