Y&R: Week of May 11, 2009

[Khan]

It says I've got to be on something to have enjoyed today's Y&R.

[Cashton]

Who said you were sitting? Everybody knows knows that a burst of historigasm can go a long way - standing up or sitting down.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Memo to MAB:

[Cashton]

^insert "sitting" and that sentence is gold.

[Sylph]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Y&RWorldTurner]

To really stick it to us, watch MAB turn Tyrant, I mean Tyra, into a museum curator soon enough.

[dm.]

Hasn't that whole bunch of cr*p with Sabrina taught her anything?

[Khan]

She probably was too busy being swept away by Ana's "dulcet tones" to have noticed.

[Khan]

She should have Tyra start her own wig shop.

[Shylock]

On the gripes people have with Y&R: There are some things that are mediocre on the show, yes. Like Clementine Ford as Mackenzie, almost anything about the Winters clan save Nia Peeples acting, and the whole chipmunk thing where they could have had Tom Fisher back for a few eps but decided not to and the "oh hey, where's Kevin's residual psychological problems and are they gonna do something with Jana's headaches" feel after the conclusion of said storyline. But overall it's good, it's fun, it's entertaining. Even that stupid friggin' chipmunk thing provided us some laughs, even if it was more of a "laughing at" than "laughing with" type of thing. When people complain about this show, it just comes off a bit fickle.

I'm just glad I have a soap where I can sit back, relax and watch without having anything that's glaringly awful (save the chipmunk) screaming at me to change the channel.

People should be thankful that, in this day and age of soapdom, this show is as good as it's been. It could be much, much worse. It could be like Days Of Our Lives, where nothing ever really goes anywhere and things are the same from the beginning of build until right before where the payoff should be but there's no payoff because they have no ability to make anything mean anything and Salem's just a place where no one really means anything, nothing matters and the show is a vapid, black hole of irrelevance and suck that saps your soul out and because after watching days your soul ain't of the quality that satan would want.............. *breaaaaaaathes* ....... so he feeds it to Cerebus the three headed hound from hell who then proceeds to throw it up all over one of the soul torture pits because days poisoned our soul which in turn poisoned the dog's stomach which is odd considering his stomach consists of acid and bile and sin.

Er, yah. Anyways..

So, hopefully y'all get what I'm saying.

[Juliajms]

If 30%-40% paycuts have become the norm I think that's a given. I know suspect DD may have been unwilling to take it and that's why he was not only dropped but killed off on screen.

[brimike]

I got what you're sayin'.

But there may only be a few of us. LOL!

[Cashton]

He was fired, i think. He has so much animousity for Y&R. He won't even comment. Doesn't sound like a guy who didn't want a paycut and ended up leaving.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

He was LML's golden boy, and then when she left, they backburned him and treated him like the supporting character he's supposed to be. It must have bruised his ego a lot.

[Cashton]

We are the forces of light: Brimike, MarkH and myself against the evil forces of snark: Sylph, Khan, Y&RWorldturner
