This time in their schedule they have 3 seasons of Falcon and then... Knots... I don't know how many Knots seasons they will air before returning to Falcon or even Sisters again... but I think giving time between seasons and airing them in blocks of 3 seasons is a little better than what they were doing right now. 

And I think the best way would have been to air the 3 soaps in 3-4 hours portions of the day at the same time... so people could actually take a break for 7-8 hours at a time and SLEEP. LOL.

Facebook is full of people whining how they were missing sleep to stay up and watch. It's quite unhealthy way to watch a soap opera.

What they're doing with the Primetime Soap channel sounds like what the Hit Sitcoms channel is doing with their three entries (Perfect Strangers, Growing Pains, and Drew Carey).  That channel will air the first three or four seasons of Growing Pains then switch to the first three or four seasons of Perfect Strangers.. then to Drew Carey.   Once that rotation is complete, it will start over with airing the remaining parts of Growing Pains, Perfect Strangers, etc.

 Should be interesting to see how the get around recaps, especially in Season 11).

And they made fake DVD covers for all the seasons! Almost makes up for not having them on DVD! lol

Are we talking about the pre-episode teasers? They're there in Seasons 3 and 4 from what I saw at a glance. I went to check out how Sid's death episode and some of the early Karen/Mack stuff looked quality-wise.

Omg finally on demand!! I’m gonna cue up my seasons 1-2 DVDs and watch those pronto and (again hopefully lol) on demand will be available through Freevee by the time I’m ready for 3-5!

ETA: Okay, so wait, I thought Plex was subscription-based?? I just downloaded the app on Roku, and it’s presented the same as other FAST apps like Freevee and Tubi. I have S4E1 playing right now.

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!
    • That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.
    • On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

    • Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?
    • I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

    • It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)

    • They could easily be re-created, or even re-shot in different ways, especially if they were re-shooting scenes at some point, as well.
