Roxy is very annoying. Rex is Ethan from Passions - A complete dumb ass. Gigi is Theresa - Make deals with God then tries to break it but ends up sticking with it. Stacey is Gwen - The evil bitch. Seriously, Gigi/Rex/Stacey reminds me so much of Ethan/Theresa/Gwen love triangle from Passions. Ron is copying a lot from that wacky triangle.

Theresa had more layers than Gigi (and I couldn't stand Theresa).

JPL shows how underrated EM was as Ethan. JPL can't bring anything to the role of Rex other than smirks and yelling. When he has to do this type of leading man dunce material, he's lost.

So was today it for David? I have to admit I never bought the friendship between Viki and David, I don't believe they would ever be close, the main reason they ever were close was because he always has to genuflect to her while she tolerates him.

I loved seeing Viki and David, and I just love their friendship. It was SO nice to see David back to being David instead of that monk stuff. To bad he couldn't stay longer.

For a PI, Rex is an idiot.

Yeah, I believe Roxy could manage to do that. Huh uh....

So tired of Starr's whining self.

Don't get me wrong, I like Roxy, but she is not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed....and wouldn't any normal person just starting pushing buttons and unplugging cords until the machine shut down? How did she know the make and model of the system at the clinic anyway? She's usually an emotional wreck or boozed up when she visits Rex's father.

And don't even get me started on Marty.... <_<

I didn't mind today’s episode. I loved seeing David and Vicki, they always make me smile, and that remark about her never winning any acting awards was classic. I also love how he shamelessly hits on her all the time and Brodicca are HOT!!! I could watch them all day long. I even liked Starr and Cole. On their own I could take them or leave them but together there all right. I could pick apart the rest of today’s scenes (anything involving Rex/Roxy, Marty/John) but with the state of network TV I've decided to focus only on the positive.

Roxy is an idiot. I cant beleive she would bring up instructions on how to take someone off life support to the hospital with her. Not only that but she goes and throws it in the public trash? I know she doesnt have that many working brain cells, but come on, I had to scratch my head on this.

Actually that Stacy is down to 11 spots is an improvement (and a surprise, I feel like she is on every fuhreakin' day!). As much as I loathe John McBain as a character, he's really not that bad in cop/investigator mode. It's just his romantic entanglements I find so watery and boring to watch. And even those are a vast improvement over Stacy. But then a visit to the dentist for a root canal is imminently preferable to spending an hour with Stacy. It's just painful and I want her away from my Roxy.

    • 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.

    • 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. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.
