Members rangethatrover Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 No offense, but his list- other than Y&R, Melody-Damn right, and Eric- DAMN RIGHT- was a joke. I would still give OLTL Best Soap- people forget Y&R wasn't exactly stellar the entire year either- and OLTL took chances. But Y&R's cast is the best. Drake? The plane crash episode? Alley Mills gave some of the worst performances I have ever seen- granted, she was made to wipe honey all over a woman and have a bear eat her- but she was awful. I love a comedic villian, but she was awful. Bruce Weitz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aMLCproduction Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 I love all the choices. Kind of half and half on Victor and Nikki. But boy M. Logan loved Y&R doesn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rangethatrover Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 He always loves Y&R- I think he gives them Best Show every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 Actually, I think this is the first year he's given that title to Y&R. I remember vividly in the 90's he would give that title to EVERY show but Y&R and AMC. In the 90's, of couse, both Y&R and AMC were ratings and critics darlings, so he might have wanted to be different. This is the first time this decade he's given Best Show to Y&R as well.

Members aMLCproduction Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thank u Y&Rturner. Y&R was not great the whole year but it's been great the last 6 months or so. I can't think of one thing that Victor did that stands out. I would have nominated Peter Bergman. I still ay he should have wont that emmy and not Micheal Baldwin( can' t think of actors name right) Oh yea Christin LeBlanco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 16, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted December 16, 2008 What the heck are the Man/Woman of the year awards for? I don't really mind Logan naming Y&R his best soap since it was my 2nd best for the year - OLTL just had more better months (OLTL had 8 good months; Y&R had 5) than Y&R.

Members marceline Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 It's nice to see Angie and Jesse getting love across the board even from people with clear biases toward other soaps. It must really piss Frons off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 I love Logans list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 I can't take Michael Logan seriously since seeing that doughy old queen in his "sexy" photo shoot in like leather pants and some sort of black velour shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rakesh Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 Agreed. Its so much better than other lists I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 Please link the image! He's a doughy queen? Unlike some of the other male soap columnists, I have never picked up that vibe. This is so tangential.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 17, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted December 17, 2008 I think you're thinking of Michael Bruno, the agent. Logan isn't doughy. He's a slim guy with a moustache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Antoyne Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 That Days plane crash episode was damn good soap opera. I think a lot of people forget Days was doing quite well earlier this year with Ed Scott and no Dena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
