But believe me - I am appalled that people think of me as some people-devouring, anthropophagous, three-headed dragon that spits fire on everything he encounters on his way. That's just mind-boggling.

You shouldnt be. Some people just assume evrything is about them. Thats what that is.

I think most who think that of you (and what a hyperbole!) probably have read one or two of your posts and just don't want to understand Sylph as the overall poster. It could also be that they just don't "get" you.

I personally am very fond of you, but sometimes I do not "understand" you, but I know you're a nice person and passionate person from the conversations we've had.

Those who don't know, will make assumptions.

Anyway, this thread went way off topic, we should all be wishing for Griffith's immediate firing and an authentic statement that backs it up.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with this statement as pertaining to this particular subject. Sometimes it's very hard to understand where the other person is coming from, no matter what the intentions are (and this, of course, is not specifically for Sylph).

Sure it is. But thats doesnt eman one should assume it was a insult or met in a way to be mean or rude.

I agree, that's why both smilies should be used and everybody should ask for clarification, so as to avoid misinterpretetions.

See - you get me, YRBB gets me. I tend to stuff my posts with all sorts of weird words and allusions so that I remove the tension that might be present in an otherwise serious post. Not because I want to come off as lofty and snobbish (which people also accused me of being) nor because I have issues (also accused of) nor because I'm bitter and resentful (also...)... I am way too much sarcastic and obviously I don't know how to wrap my posts into some nice packaging, but I'll try to improve on that.

NOW BACK ON TOPIC - JOSH GRIFFITH FIRED!

Toups, don't delete this for two days more, I know it's seriously off-topic. I'd appreciate it.

I never got what the fuss was about you anyway

I guess some people read posts more seriously than I do or believe most are written--plus I like to come on here to get a difference of opinion (and I'm well aware of your pro Bell, anti Agnes biases )

Back on topic--I think Griffith can be brilliant when he's helping lead Malone as writer and doens't have Frons interfering (the reason he admitted ot leaving last time--so he won't be back at ABC anytime soon--and left Malone to create even more of a mess on his own). I sy we get the two men to bring back their proposed 13 Bourbon Street as a late night soap on HBO or the Internet or somewhere

Bravo!

But again, I wish there was some certainly in the Griffith situation. I do think he'll be fired by the end of the year, I'd just like to know a specific time period.

It would have been better if you stayed out of this. Because all you wrote is false, especially the Agnes/Bill thing.

I think he is fired, or if not - he will be soon.

The only thing left is - who will be his successor.

Why? Its not someone who can remotly act at all is in the role at the moment?

Christel can act. Davetta cannot. LML saw that and fired Davetta in favor of Christel.

If there is anything wrong with the way Lily is being portrayed, it's the writing.

The writing for Lily is pretty shitty but Christel still can't act. I'm not saying bring Davetta back but find someone who isn't Christel.

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.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

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.
