But then you hate Pratt? Do you even watch? Pratt is far better writer than Maria will ever be!

Mark, didn't nastiness come to bite you today? Beware of the karmic wheel: you do evil, evil comes to hunt you.

It will be resurrected.

Please refrain from baiting members.

I regret that they never really dealt with the Paul-Heather relationship. So much territory there...how it has affected her perception of men and relationships. Maybe, if the Williams come into focus, it will happen.

They really do need to explore their relationship more; I enjoy the father/daughter chemistry that they share.

Clementine wasn't reserved at all today and I even saw a little bit of chemistry with Miller but quite a lot with Lago. It was nice hearing some conversation of her past relationships and even an acknowledgment of the one with JT.

Mac looked so much better today!

Raul! He looks good. He might just save Clem/Mac. Now, that's chemistry!!!

Knowing about the whole Chris Engen situation, my joy in the show has taken a huge hit. With Engen out, and except for Billy Miller, I don't find the younger crowd engaging in a any serious way. TPTB have extra motivation now to sign David Lago. He's got an energy the show can use. If they ever did the Nina long lost son story, it would be nice if the kid were Raul.

Pratt is a good writer? Hell no. He's butchered AMC beyond recognition. We AMC refugees don't call him Pratt-hole for nothing.

I wish I knew what that picture was all about Dee.

St. Mackenzie! Wait for it, wait for it... it is not you! LOL! Chloe is my mental soap twin or TPTB have been reading my posts. I'll take it either way. Elizabeth Hendrickson looked very pretty today. She looked very fresh and young.

I am losing my Billy love with each episode that he drools over Mac. I hope that they put them together soon and let Chloe move on.

I see the Y&R stylists have also been reading my posts. Mac looked younger today. Keep straightening the old girl's hair. Next work on those bags under her eyes and make her wear a bra because nothing like saggy boobs to show a woman's age.

Sharon Case gets me every time when Sharon mourns Cassie's death. I feel the depth of Sharon's pain which is why I think that I can never forgive Nick for abandoning her when she needed him.

Oh, it is great to see Raul. He still looks good.

Stafford and Bergman owned Monday's US episode, and showed why they're the better acting half of this quad. Scratch that, Bergman, Case, and Stafford all put fratboy Morrow to shame.

ITA. And that's, like, common knowledge.

Whatever fanboi, don't try to impose your opinion as fact on me.

Stafford doesn't have extra work, she likes being lazy, not my fault you will never admit any flaws in your favourite actors or in the show.

We wouldn't have that problem if you didn't try to belittle everyone's post that doesn't suit your agenda. You impose your opinions on others as the truth.

No, just someone who can admit when some of his favourite actors suck and are lazy.

Just as long as someone is keeping her in-check, I wouldn't want another two years of Stafford looking like she's in a coma with her lazy "Oh, OK" acting style.

I didn't like it personally, but I don't how i'd react to getting an Emmy after I was just fired either. Hindsight though, I don't think it did his career any favors.

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 reveal Austin's shooter...about a year and a half later.

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.
