Today's show was really enjoyable, I liked it all around. The writing is very much improved, and I felt with today's show that Pratt's work was really, ultimately gone.

That last scene with Annie\Colby was just wow...LOL, Colby looked so scared. Go Annie! And I loved Adam yelling at all of them...that was a very great scene!

We saw so much Hubbard scenes today, also. :wub: loved Natalia\Jessie, Natalia\Frankie, and of course Jessie\Angie. Who could that of been snapping pictures of them? I'm intrigued. They were all great today. How irresponsible is Frankie, forgetting to notify Angie about okaying the surgery...uh-oh she's going to be MAD! But I like that he's finally getting some story.

Jake is so much more tolerable when he's in scenes with Greenlee! But since when did he start kissing Ryape's arse? Ryape is the one who stole Gillian for him, WTH, all of a sudden they are best douches now? Ugh, GMAB. And I would have been so embarrassed if I was Greenlee, having Ryan sitting there stalking her while she was eating. Go away and let me grub, dude. But I do like how Ryan is sort of backing off now.

I really like the character of Damon now, especially the more chill side. His relationship with Tad is great, and it was sweet those scenes with him and Liza looking at Stuart's baby pictures. I do think the show is setting him up to be Adam's illegitimate son (that scene where Tad asked about his family background..), and I'm not upset about it. I think it could be great.

Adam was on fire.

But that banner reminds me -- Did I miss something, or is David still tied up in Erica's raw space (since they weren't on today)? I mean, if he is... why? The Butthole Brothers got the tape they were looking for. Ryan absconded with Greenlee without interference (and Jack's approval ). So why is she still keeping him?

Remember, that's what he asked her? She said she had her own reasons--but I wasn't really clear what they were, LOL.

I thought today was a terrific episode--nothing too outstnading, but just the tone of the show felt really strong. Little things like Liza asking Damon to look at the pics with her, the Adam blow up, etc. My only real complaint is it seems too obvious a David flunky was snapping those pics... I mean a year ago if we had the scene with Frankie screwing up and that patient dieing, I think it woulda been handled as much more plot forced--

Colby/Damon would have sucked anyways. (If this was true)

I had a joke, but never mind! Too crude! :lol:

Ryape is the one who stole Gillian for him, WTH, all of a sudden they are best douches now? Ugh, GMAB.

Jake's always been that way with Greenlee, I thought. J. Eddie Peck and RPG both. If she's written properly, Greenlee tends to neutralize what I loathe with an epic passion dislike about the Jake character.

Remember, that's what he asked her? She said she had her own reasons--but I wasn't really clear what they were, LOL.

So, basically this is just a waste of time.

ICAM! ^_^

I really enjoyed the Hubbards scenes yesterday, and it's great to finally see Frankie get his own story-line.

LMAO! Excuse me, but that reminds me of seven years ago on GH when Jason grabbed Monica outside of the hospital to perform emergency surgery on Alcazar, the boards at a certain GH site lit up "MONICA'S GOT A STORYLINE!! :D " Two episodes later, she was done.

Speaking of this storyline...

Am I the only one who noticed the continuity issue? When the doctor came in and scribbled his pager number on the post-it, it looked like this just before Frankie covered it with the file folder:

And then when Frankie, later on, found it again, it looked like this:

It went from a scribbled, nameless, two-lined, seven digit number and miraculously evolved into a bolded, 10-digit area code included numbe on one line with the doctor's name on it. Not only that, but the number completely changed!

Those must be some magic folders Angie has in her office. <_<

I think she wants to make sure he marries Greenlee and leaves town--but keeping him there, dunno hwo that would help...

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.
