May 18th,

Khan.

We did have a bit of excitement on Friday when Dr. Chapelle, inventor of the now infamous heart valve appeared to have hung himelf.

Scott was freaking out today and JR was the cooler head between them.

JR and David still have mad chemistry.

Erica vs. Nurse Gayle is on!

Jake Martin working on my flatlining toddler, I go all Beasty Zach myself. "Page Hayward", grrrrrrrrrr.

KWAK's Original Recipe Babe speechifying dragged things down a little.

What Annie did to Aidan? Yeee-ow. Hurts. Yikes.

Was the Annie/Aidan scene the one MCE said she didn't want to play?

I think so but don't recall all of that article.

While she was struggling to get away from Aidan (they were in a stairwell once again which seems to be *their* place). He was pulling on the door to keep her from escaping but was on the landing/stairwell. In the back and forth (Annie couldn't see, I believe), Aidan goes down the steps and dislocates his shoulder. Annie relocates it then ties up his arms. I want an Advil or 4 myself after that.

I didn't want to root for Annie in the Aidan/Annie scenes, but I don't like Aidan very much right now. He's like a lesser version of the know it all bossy men (Zach and Ryan). He believes he cured Annie with his spotted dick and she has to do as he says, leave with him without her daughter. Pfft.

Speaking of know it all bossy men, Zach. Sure I get getting a feeling but muhboyisdying was so heavy-handed and therefore annoying. That said, Jake is such a crappy doctor, bad bedside manner. Good one with Amanda, but bad at the actual hospital.

JR and David still have mad chemistry.

Not as good as 2004. I remember their was a scene with them on the Chandler Terrace area and David had him backed up against the doors and... Heh, this show had so much HoYay in those days.

Scott was freaking out today and JR was the cooler head between them.

It's not consistent. Last week JR was thinking with his heart no matter what anybody said and Scott was thinking with his ego. This week Scott's thinking with his heart and JR's thinking about the company's status. Keeps us guessing, I guess - Jekyll or Hyde.

The Angie/Ryan scene was random but very nice - we need more wonderful scenes like that.

Enjoyed today - it was a nice follow-up to Friday's show.

Zach was annoying as hell though - but I guess he was right.

Seems like they are slowly introducing Liza into the show - I'm surprised we haven't had 24/7 Lunar!

Where was Colby and Petey during this Chandler party?

Why would they allow JR and Scott to just talk and argue at the crime scene - or why would they want to stand there all episode anyway? And Jesse was annoying cop again today - I understand Jesse's frustration with the PV citizens when investigating crimes - but his take on that frustration is annoying. Btw, I totally wrote Derek and had to correct my typo! That's sad!

Finally - the Marissa/Krystal scenes were nice. I'm just really enjoying Marissa more and more each day.

yeah and people were so convinved that Pratt was going to plaster her all over our screens just bc he knew her from Melrose Place. Im almost wishing he had bc I love me some JL and wish she were featured more. Its ridiculous that Liza's been in town so long and she hasnt interacted with anyone she knows besides Jake. Shoot is she even still in town? Its been a while since we've seen her

Awww. I'm sure she'd be really happy to hear that! She needs some love since her father fell asleep at the wheel and ran him and her mother off the road to their deaths! Who needs money when you have love?

In all seriousness, after last week's thread, I consciously analyzed her facial expressions the entire episode today and she's calmed down that smile a little!

Even the people she did know, like Babe and Kendall, she now doesn't seem to remember she knew.

I think part of the reason they may be going slow with her is because they don't seem to have any idea what to do with her character. They basically said they were just going to try her with various men and see what happened.

I think the Babe thing was a mistake, since it was off-screen that they met. I don't know why people thought she didn't know Kendall, I thought it was clear she recognized her from the picture.

She didnt meet Babe off screen. They were both on the show together for a year and Liza was involved in Babe's storyline

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.
