Does anyone remember when social issues on AMC were handled with subtle tact and humanity? Well guys, today JR pours himself a drink in order to prove to himself that e isn't an alcoholic, Junior drinks it and says "I wanted to be like you, daddy." Man that wa a eye-roll. Between that and the upcoming Kendall/Ryan Nonsense

and Reese's no particular reason for existing I just don't think I can watch anymore. It's almost not a tv show anymore-just a series of unfortunate, illogical events with people I don't care about. Sigh :(

Rendall.....yuck. I can't believe the show appears to be making such an assinine move and starting up yet another "romance" for Ryan directly on the heels of Greenlee's death. Isn't this the aspect of the character that is the most criticized (aside from the rage-a-holic behavior, and CM's ever-present horrific acting)?

Anyway, today's show was boring. In fact, all the epsidoes this week felt forced and "off" somehow. Pratt really is a disaster of a writer--not a good fit for AMC at all IMO.

you dont think she has good reason for being upset that she lost her eyesight? Just bc others have as well doesnt mean that what she's going through shouldnt be any less of a shock. I think most people in her situation would be freaking out and wouldnt she be calm about it

I mean, for real! What's there to whine about? All she did was lose her eyesight after a man twice her size man handled her and tried to drag her away against her will. Sheesh, what a big baby!

This is sad... This thread has been here for almost 48 hours... and 10 lonely little posts.

Well I finally got around to watching.... and I'm just soooo turned off by Zach and this whole mess HE has created, that I'm not enjoying it or really looking forward to watching my show.

It is pretty interesting that Amanda/Jake seems to be getting 'romantical' again - and now he's using that lame spanish soap opera bit with her. RPG is still so gross.

Love me some Opal though - and by NOW the citizens of Pine Valley should know to actually listen to the crazy lady. She's pretty much batting 1.00 here with her 'feelings/sensations/omens/etc'.

    • Oh wow that’s pretty awesome! I wish I had  approached him but there was so many people 
    • In the current environment, while it's small, there is a crumb of good news: Apparently, San Antonio voted for a DEMOCRATIC mayor, Gina Ortiz, beating the "right-hand man" of Gov. Greg Abbott, former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5337199-gina-ortiz-jones-wins-san-antonio/
    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside.
