Sometimes I thought the show could be so fake with this. Like when Olivia's mother appeared and everything was all cool nad happy between her, Martin, Denise and the family. Not that there was supposed to be drama, she was treated like an old family friend and I thought it was a bit much. I cant even remember why she wasnt in Olivia's life, but she wasnt upset that Denise pretty much replaced her?

LOL...oh and I loved the episode where they tried to move out and one of the places the looked at was small and Denise opened up a drawer and said that could be Olivia's bed

"You're so rude! In fact that's how you got your name RUDE-Y. RUDE-Y"

She felt suffocated.

She & Denise had a nice talk about it.

"When the time comes? This is what the TWO OF YOU will be having for dinner"

Peter rubbing the bread on his shirt after dropping it on the floor :lol: :lol: :lol:

We've got to do something about this Cliff! We've planted roses but we keep getting these weeds! Sondra's in the wilderness, Denise is in the jungle & now SHE'S on the locomotion?!"

Eileen Heckart.

Eileen Stritch was Rudy & Kenny's teacher.

Remember when Theo's friend's girlfriend came by the house right before he had a big date, and as people kept coming back to the house he had to hide her so noboby would know she was there? That was funny.

And wait wasnt Martin's ex wife played by Victoria Rowell or am I remembering things wrong?

That thanksgiving episode where Cliff had to keep leaving to go pick stuff up. :lol:

Bill picked the right time to end this show. By the last season, the show had lost its finesse and started to plummet dramatically in the ratings. The show had already made history, it was time for it to come to an end. There wasn't anyplace else for the show to go.

The last season's opening credits were just HORRIBLE.

I loved the finale with Cliff and Claire dancing into the audience, how sweet and classy.

I loved the final season's opening. I will agree that it was time to end it bc it did lose its appeal. I hated how isolated the family felt. Typical episodes would follow 1 kid and they had little interaction with the rest. For example, I hated the episode that took place at Theo's job as a teacher.

The Cosby Show and All In The Family are the only sitcoms and scripted shows that stayed at #1 in the ratings for five consecutive seasons.

The Cosby Show didn't get a serious threat in the ratings until another Carsey-Werner production, Roseanne came on the scene during the 1988-1989 season. That season, first the first time, The Cosby Show was tied with Roseanne for the top spot, but by the 1989-1990 season, Roseanne had taken the top spot outright.

    • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And here I am rewatching and...

    • 5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.
    • The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.
    • So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???    
    • Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)
    • Oooooo I like these. I like we are on the same page about Little Brownie Man. And I hope to remember this at the end of June to see how much of it came to pass. I definitely feel that the Eva vs Kat story is about to reaaaally get going.    As for the B/C stories, it's funny you mentioned the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story first. Because out of all of those, it is the only one that has enough structure and build to it that it could keep going as a B story that could eventually climax. I think the only POV we don't have in it is Joey's at this point because Month 2 put in the work to give us Doug's and Vanessa's and they are now circling each other and their relationship. And we still need to know Joey's endgame.   Why we gotta pick on Jacob and Naomi? We need that goody good couple. lol. They talked about how they got together. Mind you, very briefly. But we do need to know a little bit more about both. Something I was hoping we were getting by having them in their own stories....him with the crooked cop, her with the lawsuit...but it didn't turn out as hoped. Hopefully, that won't be the case with June though.   Yeah, I want to see more of THAT Ashley.  I finally had to break down and explain to my manager why I keep laughing every time I see the bottle of Febreze at work. The product placement definitely be working.

    • That is a specific example where I would agree with those fans so I would be critical of the execs doing so. I frankly think that "caring" in this regard is not conducive to dialog. Basically you point out its very subjective nature. What is caring to one person might be callous disregard to another. I suggest it is a trap & we fell in it!
    • Does anyone know of a place where I could watch older episodes of RC??? I really would love to watch more of this show, and I would decide if I would join the save River city campaign, I HATE when soaps are killed, but sometimes you should let them go too
