The Russells could very well have been a white family.

And they should've been for the crap he gave them.

JER wrote colour-blind stories and the Russell family would've worked either as a white family or a black family.

No.

They wouldn't have.

And that is a good thing!

No.

It's not.

Don't forget about the thrilling "down low" storyline where the actors looked disgusted and never kissed on the mouth.

Yes they did. And their sex scenes were FAR more graphic than Kish's.

Just because someone is ignorant of the message they're sending doesn't mean the message isn't being sent.

+1!

No.

They wouldn't have.

No.

It's not.

Yes they would have. And yes it is.

Oops. Thank you, Carl, for reminding me (...I think).

Yeah, so glad JER wrote his stories "color-blind". Otherwise, with the other families getting relatively more "normal" cliches storylines, you'd think he had it out for Blacks. [/sarcasm]

If that's the message she picked up, either she was watching the wrong show or she was reading too much into the satire.

You can do better than that.

Yes they did. And their sex scenes were FAR more graphic than Kish's.

This is JER we are talking about. He played those sex scenes as camp, they weren't serious like the Kish lovemaking was.

No, just a psychotic hermaphrodite.

Leave Liza Huber out of this!

Passions was a satire. But they were still first!

OLTL has survived pretty nicely without the Hall family.

It survived pretty nicely without The Laurences too.

Leave Liza Huber out of this!

I hope you don't mind if I borrow from the DeeDee dictionary but..... Win!

Where is this thread headed other than a flame war?

OLTL has survived pretty nicely without the Hall family.

Again, a matter of opinion.

Passions was a satire. But they were still first!

And that's exactly why no one will regard them as such, because it wasn't groundbreaking at all. It was just mindless camp.

Or The Tragic Possible Mulatto starving her incest baby & punishing herself in the name of JESUS for impure thoughts about her Tragic Mulatto BrotherLover.
