Did anyone watch the season premiere? The two shows idea works well enough although it does cement Lea Michele as the outright lead. The new guy is handsome enough and I assume there will be a love triangle later on. One thing I did not like was the duet on NY State Of Mind. It's a nice song but tough to appreciate as a duet. Just when I was getting into hearing either one of them sing the song they would shift to the other one. It sort of betrays the whole idea that the singer is important when you can just plug anyone in to the song and arrangement.

Back in Glee, I am really sorry to see Unique. He wasn't very exciting last season and is still not this season. The new girl is good I guess but the new Puckerman just didn't do it for me. I thought Call Me Maybe was dull. Maybe because I heard it so many times before, but I saw no reason why I needed to hear Unique sing this song. (or Tina or Blaine).

Thank god Im not the only one who cant stand Unique.

Too many clone characters. We got clone Rachel, Puck, Santana (with a little bit of Quinn mixxed in) and Mercedes

Why are you asking that about Emma? Is the actress not on the show anymore?

Yea.. I predict it will be canceled this season. The show was good in the beginning, but has lost its touch. I don't care for the new characters at all! Where is my SANTANNA!

Unique is a drag queen in high school, sorry to much for me! The new head cheerleader makes me want to punch myself in the face. They are just ripping off Quinn! Pukes brother is hot though!

I don't know if the show has to be canceled, it can just be morphed into a modern Mary Tyler Moore show starring Leah Michele. They already have everything they need to do a sitcom or drama about how she can live out the lyrics to the MTM theme. The formula for a supporting cast is there with students, teachers and her lovable but gay roommate.

Tonight's version of "Oops, I Did It Again" was better than I expected. Other than that the episode was lacking musically. I wonder if this it it for Puck the First. Puck the Second is very good looking but sort of leaves me cold at the moment. I guess I need to hear him sing something solo.

They certainly have a great apartment! It is as big as a football field and continues the fine TV tradition of unrealistically cool NYC apartments.

    • Might be a long shot, because I can't find a thing online about it, but I was Googling the actress that played Nell Cleary (Frank's cop friend that went through academy and then became cops together during the entire Brent Lawrence storyline). To my surprise, she passed away in 2011, at the very young age of 45. I can't find her obituary or anything online about her passing, but I'm curious, does anyone know what happened? Her IMDB only shows a few other acting gigs post-Guiding Light, so she didn't make a career out of it, but I thought she was a great actress in her role as Cleary. Her name was Mary Peterson.
    • What was Ruth Martin's association to the Thornton family?  I only remember the daughter that dated Tad, and she had a buxom mother.  But, did Ruth date David Thorton before Joe?

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.
    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said this on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago, so perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. In addition, Leslie did say she grew up listening to The Articulettes too.
    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
    • I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.
    • I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980.
