The memorial service is different from the funeral, from my understanding.

The memorial service is for fans to remember Michael on Tuesday. I thought I heard the funeral was going to be Monday?

The memorial service is on Tuesday. It is suppose to start at 1pm eastern time but I have a feeling the actual coverage will start at 12pm eastern time.

I think it's 9am California time. That would make it at 11 am my time zone and 12pm eastern time zone. Unless the service is at 6am California time...hehe..which I doubt.wink.gif

That's weird cause I saw Friday's eppy of Y&R on SoapNet then they showed an older eppy of Y&R following it and not AMC...LOL

Btw..where was the live coverage of Farrah Fawcett's service? I know Michael was the King of Pop but not covering Farrah's service was kind of lame. She was just as big of a star.

Interesting. Seems SOAPnet didn't find it financially beneficial to air a repeat of All My Children like ABC did. Very interesting.

The Young and the Restless aired an original episode.

As for Fawcett, the network's find Michael as a bigger news story, unfortunately. Michael, even with the good and the bad, drove television ratings through the roof whenever something was mentioned about him. Now that he is dead, they want to get the last dollar out of him before it becomes yesterday's news.

Ugh...not being a Jackson fan, I'm more than a little bewildered by all the hoopla. The man was an entertainer, and this coverage is more in line with heads of state, not a man who was more than a little controversial in his later years.

I would just rather have my CBS shows completely preempted, than get stuck with ten minutes on-air, and the option to watch it online.

Yeah, I heard CNN numbers went up during the MJ coverage. But on the 4 networks Farrah's piece on 20/20 with Babs did better than a MJ special on CBS.

    • The black and white episodes of the show are very special. An atmosphere the color run loses. Dark Shadows was filmed live-on-tape. They could do a retake but it would be very expensive. I think there was a claim that if actors wanted a retake they would curse. There was also a rumor that at one point Joan Bennett accidentally said "Hollywood" instead of "Collinwood" and that necessitated a retake.

    • Loved this IG post from Ambyr about how she and Trisha work together. You can tell these ladies go above and beyond the script, and that they really trust and enjoy working together. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJpJufFPOQ2/?igsh=MXBmcWs0YzIwaXVhNA==

    • It is a shame that more characters didn't go the ATWT-Barbara route and make the ingénue into an antagonist. Sort of like they did with Liza/Hogan/Sunny, less successfully. It is a credit to ATWT's creativity that breathed life in that character for years after she was fighting off bulls in Spain.  But, a character like Liza can only have so many true loves and high jinks on the high seas.  They need another reason to be in the story. Liza's wealth, as well as her acumen to see through fraud, was fertile ground for tons of stories.  But, I feel like the business stories for Liza were always about her being easily overwhelmed, rather than exploring things like her leadership and managerial skills.
    • STFU!! Dante!!! This nonsense of blaming Gio is just ridiculous! Alexis and Lucky are becoming so unlikable. Why are the writers writing these characters so poorly?
    • Keith still comes off younger to me. I thought he wasn't that bad for his first day.
    • To be fair, they were only recently step-siblings.  Their parents married within the past few years.  And, Draper's father Ansel was not coy about the fact that he married Raven's mother, Nadine, for the money. And, Raven's sort of sticking it to April that not only can she have a baby (April has a heart condition that makes it difficult for her to carry a child to term), she could also have April's man, if she wanted him.
    • Keith D Robinson is 49. Maurice Johnson is 46.
    • I hope they give him more to do than just be a prick as you say. I can see how viewers would like him because the actor is so charming despite the character being such an absolute pain.    I would agree. And there was also the undercurrent of Raven and Draper sort of flirting with each other. The actors play that attraction and it worked so well in that scene. 
    • Daniel Cosgrove is PERFECT as the sleezy politician. This might be my favorite role of his. All of these people keeping Kristina’s secret is so annoying. I really want her to pay.
