I forgot how well Val was written and treated in these early episodes.

The Lie just played.. and while it was a great showcase for Laura... Val had some great scenes throughout the episode.. and the best scenes were where she wasn't saying anything.. it was all in her expressions.  Lots of subtext... something the Latham's would know nothing about.

I don’t get these FAST services which don’t have a regular schedule. It just doesn’t work for a serialized show like this. Just run one episode per day at a certain time (and they can repeat that same episode later in the day). And if they want to do marathons, that’s what the weekends are for.

These streaming channels aren’t really about trying to make a successful programing block, they’re just utilizing space with old content that would collect dust otherwise. The channels that can pick up 10k or so viewers consistently are considered easy wins and they don’t care about the audience watching all of the episodes because the show will play on endless loop for ages anyway. CBS used to put more effort into actual blocks until they realized they got more consistent viewers running one series on repeat.

Dallas is 'on demand' on Freevee... Dynasty is free to watch on Pluto TV.

I think this is a first step for KL to see if it can obtain some interest in the streaming era.  They were successful in reruns back in the 90s/early 00s on TNT.. and even did ok on SoapNet... but no attempts at streaming have been done in the states that I could see.

In this method, you make a bit of coin showing it on a loop on the Primetime Soap channel.. and if something happens.. then we'll see it on a streaming format like Freevee On Demand.. or something like that.

On Plex, they have a Knots Landing page where it looks like you will eventually be able to select individual episodes from different seasons.  They just have not uploaded the episodes yet.  Maybe they are letting the series play all the episodes on the Primetime Soaps channel before allowing viewers to stream the individual episodes they want.

I'm guessing they might be trying to have people subscribe to the live channel first before putting everything on demand. But hopefully it'll happen after the first run through, but who knows.

Although, looking at it, Plex has a lot of pages for a lot of tv shows that aren't streaming so some might just be automated. 

A selection:

One for Homefront: https://watch.plex.tv/show/homefront

Also one for Flamingo Road: https://watch.plex.tv/show/flamingo-road

Cane: https://watch.plex.tv/show/cane

Berrenger's: https://watch.plex.tv/show/berrengers

2000 Malibu Road: https://watch.plex.tv/show/2000-malibu-road

Yellow Rose: https://watch.plex.tv/show/the-yellow-rose

Emerald Point NAS: https://watch.plex.tv/show/emerald-point-n-a-s

And so on... I guess there's some shows that don't show up (like Freshman Dorm or Kings Crossing), but it makes me wonder how many of these will ever find its way there.

Pretty sure a lot of those Plex pages are automated.

The stream has warped ahead to S8, apparently because of a name error - eps in both S3 and S8 named "Reunion". @DRW50 will be pleased to know the Jessica Walter episode has apparently caused this.

    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
