Seriously?! That many airings of 90210! Does it really do that well? I used to like it but the overload of seeing it everywhere has made me despise that show. Wow...... :huh:

It does say a lot when they dump their own networks soap. This really is a disgrace. :angry:

Brian Frons has been killing off SoapNet ever since he took charge and Disney, ABC continues to allow it to happen. Before long there won't be any soaps on SoapNet.

What an awful schedule. I don't even watch SOAPNET anymore, there's barely anything watchable on there anymore.

SoapNet has sucked for quite a while now. Unfortunately it's gone the way of VH1, TV Land and so many other networks that used to be good.

I haven't watch SoapNet in months. I was so excited to get it when it first became available but back then we had shows like Soapcenter instead of stupid movies that are below even Lifetime's standards.

I used to love watching repeats of Dynasty & Knot's Landing, too, but now it's all aimed at younger viewers. I never cared for 90201 or One Tree Hill and I was only a casual viewer of the OC. If that's what they're selling, I'm staying far, far away!

I wonder how long before they rebrand? I have been watching more lately (a) because of NightShfit, ( because of MVP (yes, I find it compelling when I watch), and © the Olympics.

I get this overdose of NBC...when I can't watch another dive or bike race or 400 m sprint, or whatever....and then Soapnet is a welcome reprieve. But, the only ABC show that captures my attention right now is OLTL. Well...OLTL _and_ Spinelli.

I am for any move which results in less Minshew polluting and rotting the culture, so the lack of an AMC marathon is a blessing in disguise. What I am disappointed about is no DALLAS. Soapnet used to show that, Dynasty, Knots, Falcon Crest i think, and there were still forgotten primetime soaps to be mined (Flamingo Road and so on). For classic soaps there are now online avenues but it would be nice to see things like AW and EoN on the actual TV. 90210 should be banned from all existence along with any of the shows where teens live in a world without adults and people are named Pacey and so on. Soapnet sucks.

Yeah, cause there just ain't enough 90210 in the world that it needs to be shown 26 times a week, right Fronsie? :rolleyes: I'm guessing he's doing this to try and get the viewers who'll watch the new 90210 into the old one. And them ditching Melrose Place and AMC Marathons is just another reason for me to unsubscribe to the channel.

How is MVP doing in the ratings? It's so cheap and chessy it's fun to watch! Trash tv at it's trashiest!

Is anyone really gonna miss the AMC Marathon? Could anyane really stand to watch 5 hours of it?

If so want to shake their hand! Thier pain theshhold and gag relex must be out of this world!

Spinelli needs his own spinoff "Spinelli PI" :lol:

This is just sad. Check out this clip of Soapnet back in the day and you will truly see how pathetic it really is right now

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

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

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
