I did think it was funny. But as a proven bitch, I had to get the last word!

Ah.

Yeah, I never "get" Sarah Silverman's humor.

Well - the pool party was fun (even if i had to watch my ex with his new boytoy of the week). Thanks for indulging me in drunk-posting MJ talk. I really like every poster on here, you're all cool.

That said "the jet" - MJ told this to Victor that she'd never been on a jet before. Even though we don't know what victor knows of this woman, I think it's safe to say he knows her identity and her past. How did she get to GC? Stagecoach? No, by VN's jet.

Today's ep was ruined cause my roomate wanted to talk about her trip to San Francisco. But it's on DVR and I'll watch it later. I hated, hated Chloe calling the shots at Lily and Cane's photo shoot. I know it's PO (popular opinion) to hate Lily and Cane, but seeing Lily have to avert dog pee and almost fall to the glee of her fiancee's ex-wife is just humiliating, and quite unbelievable. i hope the Lane haters were entertained at least.

And guys, I'm 30! It's never too late for a pool party folks. In fact, I'd party with Murph and Kay at the pool any day.

Sorry to hear that, it's never easy to be in that position.

I hate Lane and I didn't find that scene particularly funny nor did I really understand the concept. Actually, the concept did make sense (and I loved Nikki and Phyllis for their cynicism) but the execution was a huge WTF!? Normally, I would think a model should just shut up and do her job (much like an actor), but in this case, I understood her befuddlement.

IA. OTOH, this might confirm what I've suspected for quite a while; namely, that even the writers can't stand Cane & Lily!

Anyone wonder if the Feds are somehow after info on Jana's Nazi family? A new mystery - new speculation.

I thought that too, its just too bad I could care less about Jana and her Nazi/reliquary ties.... just a reminder of the hell that was Lynn Marie Latham.

Precisely another problem I have with MAB's writing right now. Too many f-cking mysteries, ugh.

Where is the romance? Where is the corporate intrigue? Where is a good social issue storyline?

I don't think flooding the canvas with too many mysteries is a good idea, but maybe this isn't even a mystery so...

I don't think they should've played this Mary Jane thing with Ashley's gaslighting at the same time.

I need variety...

I doubt, after all the trouble MAB has gone through to fix what LML has done, that she would go back to the reliquary.

If I'm wrong, I will be really, REALLY bummed.

In so many ways Adam is just too obvious as gaslighter. I definitly agree he is going to the darkside though

I have noticed the mystery theme, and the mental illness theme. The show currently is loaded with unbalanced people.... Sharon, Phyllis, Patty Jane, Adam, Ashley, Kevin (what a cop out his story was eh, its clear the point of it all seems to be bringing him and Amber closer together).... she has yet to pen a compelling romance, well aside from Kay and Murphy..... but that angle is rarely played up..... Lane seems to be her idea of romance *gags*

I certainly agree certainly one of the shows weaknesses at this point. Though I still love it

Oh yeah, I don't really have a huge problem with it, I am just recognizing what Alvin was alluding too. Don't get me wrong, I am still very much in love with what is going on. The positives continue to outweigh the flaws in my opinion.

OMG!!!!!!

I hope Jana's headaches are revisited though. What a waste otherwise.

1.) I love that the Y&R weekly thread is over 60 pages! Clearly Y&R is THE show!

2.) Line of the week:

"Oh look, it's Genoa City's own BONNIE and CLLYYDEEE!!!!"

Jess Walton f'ing rocks. I loved how Clyde just rolled of her tongue! It was the best!

Jess Walton ROCKS. I loved her today.

I can't believe the broad FINALLY put on a GOWN. I was wondering if her entire wardrobe was chosen by Ellen Degeneres!!

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
