Well well well, the board is back.

I'm really sick of the writers creating conflict with Billy and Chloe by imposing this ludicrous notion that another man raising Delia would be detrimental to both Billy and Delia. First, it was Chloe leaving town that provided the obstacle. Then, it was Cane possibly raising Delia, which was a worthy motivation, although with various faults. Now, it's this possible demon stepdaddy?

For God's sakes, man, let ths story die.

I loved this. It was not nearly extensive enough for me :) . I wanted to see other sets, real dressing rooms, hair/makeup. I didn't give a sh!t about the wardrobe, but she loved it :)

Lane interviewed in LA yesterday.

Now we can see what they're like in real life!!

I would have loved to see the other sets, or maybe see other stars on the set. I just wanted someone to quickly ask Heather Tom if she would ever come back to the place where her acting is appreciated.

Also, funny how she found those shoes and immediately took them home.

So the board is back.

I liked MTS's tour of the set. It was fun hearing MTS call Heather, "baby" and seeing Don Diamont. They are really are across the hall from each other.

I watched DG and Lily's clip was enjoyable. He looked much younger and she looked more mature.

Only Peter Bergman and Elizabeth Hendrickson can keeping me watching Y&R live.

Oh God! This is terrible. In no way should Twitter or Facebook be used as a measure of one's intelligence or study of character, but daaaaamn.

-OMG don't tweet and drive at the same time it's not a good idea. LOL. But seriously.

-Okay so our producers so just lied to use. They sad we were done filming and now they say we have 3 more scenes to shoot. I'm so HUNGRY!!!!!

-Kisses and hugs to all my twiggers lol

And she likes The Game? Really?

"I'll be praying for her."

ITA. They are running out of contrived reasons for Billy to stay or re-think staying with Chloe. Billy is unhappy so he should leave. I didn't understand why he called Chloe and asked to her come back when he has no interest in her or the baby. It isn't like Chloe is scheming to keep Billy and Mac apart so there is no obstacle for Billy to be with Mac. This is angst for angst sake and it is ridiculous.

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

    • I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...    
    • Always, in every way, Cass/Wally/Felicia foundational to my viewing. And, I think if we look at the aftermath of the disastrous 90 minute show that we find too many pockets of some kind of lost time at the show plus way too much of change-ups in exec & writing leadership and of course we also reach the first time it becomes notable that NBC wants to get rid of the show so they can put a new soap they own in the timeslot.
    • If the MAGAts were easy prey enough to get manipulated into voting for the tangerine-tinted terror, they'll fall for anything.

    • And this came out as the "feud" and the media pushing the protests in Los Angeles got all the media attention. They know the press and the public will not care or can be manipulated into approving.
