small voice " I like Zeese "

They had me at their poker game . Zach is infinitely more likable with a strong woman like Reese or indeed Greenlee ( was also an inveterate Zachlee shipper ) . Neither will stand for his cryptic replies or brooding silences .

I liked the infamous elf dancing scene too . She was bossing him about making him bring in the decorations and his throwaway dialogue was entertaining

" C`mon guys , a little help over here . She can`t talk to me like that "

So different from the ass who ordered Kendall around in public

" Say thank you to the nice man and now go " :angry:

Um. Okay. A person doesn't have to say that Pratt is turning AMC into GH. But if they feel that he is, they have every right to say that. Like I will.

Pratt is going to turn AMC to GH.

For the record, there's a lot of things that Pratt is doing right that McT didn't do, but at the same time, McT did some things right that Pratt is definitely not doing. McT didn't try to murder half the cast.

This is BS. Most Zen supporters are mad, but about how they have trashed not only their fanbase, but Bianca and about a good portion are mad that this lesbian love story is NOT about Bianca/Reese. Or, should I say, the people *I* chat with.

I mentioned my reasons for why Pratt sucks, TO ME and it has NOTHING to do with Zendall, 100%. I can get upset that a couple I like is trashed, but then, I am a soap watcher and understand that, sometimes, my couple will be torn up before being brought back together (if warranted). I think that Kendall benefitted from being with someone who supported her, but I also do not ignore that Zach has blunted the force that Kendall once was. I also disliked that Zach has become this ass and his issues (along with Zendall's marriage issues) are never explored (like those who are angry with Ryan's issues not being handled). I dislike that Ryan is touted as this hero that does no wrong (which Zach is treading this line, too, and it makes me not like him!). That character's actions, but a chosen few, are glossed over as ok and we are being TOLD that we should accept it, instead of allowing us to come to that decision on our own. Crap happening off-screen, lazy storytelling. My issues with the show is about more than just Zendall- a lot of people who dislike the show has been disliking it since McTravesty, B&E and now Pratt. It is how Frons is running the programming and forcing his agendas on the viewers. I will give Pratt props for trying to rotate the stories on the show, for balance (even that is being ruined with the constant showcasing of characters they don't like or lack of layered writing).

So, people who dislike the show have a larger problem than what is best for Zendall.

RE: Spoiler

I hate the fact that Kendall is responsible. I will hate that they will have Zach play the "hero" and not allow her to confess. I will hate that this will "blunt" her right to be angry at Zach. I will hate that Zach does not get called on his [!@#$%^&*], just whatever Ryan deems is his fault. Reese is a failure and this wedding has been tainted (plus, she will find out that Kendall actually is responsible, so that pits her against Zach... *sigh*) and all for characters who will be leaving by mid-spring/early-summer.

It is all too much "shock and awe". Like GH's long-running MO and that is NOT storytelling.

The biggest difference I see is that McT came back with a mission - it was not what was best for AMC but to get even. I said that a few months after she started and I still feel that way. So much of what she did seemed to be to undo stuff she didn't agree with after she was fired.

Both Pratt and McT are doing damage to the show. Pratt with the murders that are going way too fast and only Babe's is getting any pay off or effect on the show. McT did so much damage to the history of the show with the death of Trevor, Noah, and the undoing of the abortion. Plus add to that the deaging of Del and keeping the character around on contract for so long without any story and then the creation of Di - a sister of Dixie we never even heard of. Plus she ruined Ryan so much.

AMC's last 3 writers have really done so much damage to the show. I still like Pratt better than any of them but he really needs to watch a few things.

    • Week ending March 5 1978 Second season shows are tested CBS finishes first week in March with stronger than usual 1 9.5, but not enough to beat ABC The prime -time ratings pattern continued to hold steady for the week ended March 5, and attention increasingly turns to second season entries as the networks probe one another's weaknesses or cover their own. As usual, ABC -TV won the week, scoring a 20.5 average rating. But CBS -TV was closer than usual with a 19.5 average garnered with the help of several strong specials and movies in addition to some of its dependable series regulars. NBC followed its habit of plummeting when its "évent "entries failed. In this case it was the miniseries, Loose Change, which scored only 24 and 22 shares on Monday and Tuesday, leaving the network with a 16.9 average rating for the week. Looking at new series and new time slots, ABC's Six Million Dollar Man on Monday (8 -9 p.m. NYT) continued to falter with a 22 share, while What's Happening, in its new slot on Saturday (8 -9 p.m.), also remained shaky with a 23 share. Starsky and Hutch is still healthy with a 38 share in its new slot following Charlie's Angels on Wednesday, and How the West Was Won also had a 38 on Sunday (8 -9 p.m.). Against West CBS's Rhoda and On Our Own came in poorly for the second week in a row of face to face competition, with each pulling 25 shares after a 41 share lead in from 60 Minutes. ABC's special two -hour presentation of the upcoming series tryout, Having Babies, scored a 27 share on Friday (9 -11 p.m.) against strong competition from both the other networks (the movie "Ski Lift to Death" on CBS and Rockford Files and Quincy on NBC). For CBS, its new Monday night leadoffs, Good Times and Baby I'm Back, scored so -so 27 and 28 shares respectively. But the second half of the night had its best performance since the new line -up came in- M *A*S *Hwith a 45, One Day at a Time with a 41 and Lou Grant with a 36. Celebrity Challenge of the Sexes and Shields and Yarnell showed no signs of reviving on Tuesday, with 16 shares each, but the new Tuesday movie slot held up with a 41 share from Clint Eastwood's "Magnum Force." The network's entire Saturday line up continued to limp in, as Bob Newhart Tony Randall, The Jeffersons, Maude and Kojak all scored sub 30 shares (with the exception of Newhart's 29, in fact, all scored sub -25 shares). NBC premiered its new Chuck Barris Rah Rah Show on Tuesday (8 -9 p.m.),when it pulled a 24 share. The second episode of Quark had a 27, three points down from its premiere. There might be the temptation to conclude that the 29 share turned in by the National Love, Sex and Marriage Test on Sunday (9:30 -10 p.m.) proves the appetite for "sophisticated" subject matter is not insatiable after all, except that its competition was not only CBS's strong comedy block but also ABC's rerun of "The Way We Were," which pulled a 35 share. Of NBC's other midseason entries -CPO Sharkey, Black Sheep Squadron, James at 16 and Class of '65 -CPO Sharkey turned in the highest score of the week, a 27.   *NBC were in dire straits at this point relying on movies and specials which could hit or bomb in equal measure.  Fred Silverman had his work cut out for him when he arrived that Summer. He favored sitcoms and series as the schedule's foundation and NBC had no sitcoms to build on and few solid series. He also had a big backlog of specials/mini series that had been committed to air. Also NBC had a long standing relationship with Universal so he was forced to work with that studio. He struggled to get quality producers on board as they were either tied into deals with ABC/CBS or were wary of having their shows on the 3rd rated network. He still felt variety had a place on the schedule however and that lead to duds like Susan Anton, The Big Show and Pink Lady and Jeff.

    • I spent years hoping we would get an oral history like the OLTL book, but it’s too late now with so many having passed away.
    • It’s also strange that it was Monica! I just don’t think of her as the staring off into space type of woman! I watched a bunch of other clips and stuff from random 1978 and 1979 episodes. I’m so used to seeing movement from Monty’s era, especially the early part, that this really is a cool relic. Pretty soon you have scenes start at the new nurses station, the elevators opening and doctors walking to the desk to get their messages from Jessie or Bobbie. People often walk towards doors while taking coats on or off, many Webber house scenes start or end with someone walking up the stairs. This episode is even more static than some of the way earlier ones I have seen, where you would have Steve or Jessie at least going from the old school nurses desk to the medicine room, Steve’s office, etc. That bland dialogue is very much like what they have now. The show picks up a lot of personality. Knowing what we know about David Hamilton and how that really started to get the ball rolling as far as viewers you really see just how vital Lesley and especially Laura were to get things moving for them. They focused on the right characters to get fast results. The show now could learn a thing or two from this.
    • It won't allow me to watch it via the link; I am only able to watch it with the app.
    • Just finished the Goldfinch. Read it in 5-6 days... and it's a huuuuge book. Well... I would rate the first 500 pages a solid 10 out of 10... but then the next 300 were kind of a letdown... so the overall impression is something like - 7/10. It's just very hard to give something a full 10 after reading A little life.  Still... loved it immensely and would probably re-read it in the future. There is a movie adaptation... starring Nicole Kidman... that I haven't seen. 
    • I realize I harp on this, but I think he spending is relevant.  She's not just buying new wigs. She's building a mansion, she's funding a sports complex, she's paying for operations for people she doesn't know, she's caring for Peaches, she's buying apartments. We saw ?her get ONE check for ONE million dollars. That's it. I may be wrong, but I thought they said she'd get a payment every 6 months. Regardless, she could not rule the roost on $1M, and the show is not doing a good job there. Pretending that doesn't matter? I can't do that.  All they had to do was add a couple lines about payouts and payments.  In other news, I would love to know just how much Anita was putting into that trust as well as what investment got her what has to be an incredible return.

    • I'm honestly surprised Nikki and Victor have not divorced yet... maybe their brief opening of the marriage did something for them.

    • It reminded me of what the Pollocks got away with all the time on THE DOCTORS: long ass flashbacks that don't really add anything to the scene except time.  Because, if you remove the flashback, what's left?  Monica finishes packing Alan's suitcase.  The end. Oh, well.  At least I got to see a young Patricia Elliott (ex-Renee, OLTL) in that Aim toothpaste commercial (not to mention, a shirtless James O'Sullivan (ex-Jeff, AMC; ex-Pete, OLTL; ex-Jerry, SOMERSET) in the commercial for One-a-Day vitamins, lol).
    • Well, I can't help but think it would've been written different with CB still there
