+1 !

It's a shame too - DC has quite a few fans - and the ratings kept going up and up as the series was ending. Their reunion numbers beat at least the first half of BH. Just because it didn't swell like BH did in their last half, or like Atlanta/NJ has in the past 1-2 years, doesn't mean they need to sabotage it.

I could easily do without LuAnn & Alex.

I felt S3 ended perfectly, and everyone had some sort of happy conclusion. I thought some would leave and new blood would be added.

Re: DC, with another franchise airing, the network has to drop at least one of the shows, and it'l sadly be DC. UNLESS Miami bombs, and then, chances for DC might look up.

Ugh, that sucks about RHONYC being postponed. They're easily my favorite cast, though my fave housewife, Bethenny, won't be on anymore. Having not seen season 3 at all, I was looking forward to the marathon of repeats the day of the premiere. It SUCKS that CW only showed S1 & S2 and Bravo never repeats it at all. Hopefully, I'll get to see it soon.

Yea DC's ratings kept going up and the reunion did well. It's ratings were on par with BH, which admittedly got bigger towards the end, but still is nowhere near NJ or ATL. I also think DC had a lot working against it with the Salahi mess putting the series on hold for well over a year. They also had to change storylines and re-edit to set that story up. I think had the season gone as planned with the Ericka/Cat drama better developed (and earlier in the season) ratings would've been higher. Then they could've done the original end to the season with Mary's Label of Love fashion show.

TweetMaxine, the outlandish Bravo gossip hound is back. I've always enjoyed her, but she seemed to go off the deep end a few months ago and still is. Some of the stuff she says has turned out true, but she always goes over the top which makes me question her. Like right now she's saying DC (with only Michaele and Lynda returning) won't be back until 2012 which makes no sense. She also says they're considering combining NYC/NJ and BH/OC. That makes no sense considering how high the ratings are for each series.

One thing she said that is probably true is that Miami is a disaster. As we know it was only branded a HW series after filming in an effort to salvage the footage. Considering how rushed it is I'm not expecting much. You can tell Bravo didn't put much money into converting the series. I wonder if it'll even be in HD.

She also says they're considering scrapping NYC and starting over. So far Bravo says that filming has wrapped and they aren't doing reshoots. I think they're just gonna pull a DC and edit the hell out of it to make it work. They should consider cutting the number of episodes.

Is there any real reason to keep OC around? I watched the first few episodes and I thought they were very stilted and generic and fake (the husband and wife, all the frozen faced blondes terrorizing their kids). Did the show pick up from then?

The first season was the first of all these series. They were still trying to get their footing and the production values werent there. Ive seen season 3 and 4 since then and they,especially 4 are MUCH better. No clue on how 5 went and 6 is about to debut. With that said, I think they should put the series on hold and focus on the others and maybe come back to OC with a new cast

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
