I have an unconditional love for this show. I was obsessed with it when I was a kid, and now I'm older and can see how ridiculous some of the plots are, but I still can't not laugh at it. It is the ULTIMATE in comfort television for me!

RIP John 1948-2003

RIP Norman 1924-1998

RIP Audra 1918-1997

RIP Don 1924-2006

Oh yeah, I remember there being talk of one episode where John Ritter's scrotum accidentally showed, and it wasn't noticed until the 1990's. It's been edited on all airings since then.

It's sad that the only ones left are Joyce DeWitt and Suzanne Somers, Joyce openly loathes Suzanne...Suzanne tells a different story, she says that a few years before Don Knotts died she saw him at a party, the two had a bit of pow wow and Suzanne asked him why Joyce hated her so much, Don Knotts allegedly said "Because she thought you'd sink...but you didn't, you swam laps instead".

That little thing was SO random at the end, but Joyce and Marla were gettin' down on some Journey. They all looked like they were having a great time.

I'm shocked John's balls never bounced out more often as much as they had Jack walking around in his underwear. Not that I ever minded :wub:

My favorite years used to be the season with Furley and Chrissy (S4), but I love the earlier seasons with the Ropers the most now. Still, S4 had some of my favorite episodes, like the one where they went on the camping trip with Larry and his girlfriend-of-the-week, the commercial jingle singer. Larry convinced her that Jack was a famous commercial director, so all throughout the camping trip, she'd randomly burst into jingle, like the one about how "Every girl loves a guy with the BIG BANDITO!!"

And of course, all of the misunderstandings. There were entire episodes built around misunderstandings (Mr. Roper thinks Chrissy is pregnant; Terri thinks Jack is a whoring himself out; Jack and Janet think Terri's doctor friend is really a psychiatric patient; Mr. Furley thinks one of the roommates wrote an X-rated diary entry about him) and then there were ones where the misunderstanding was just randomly thrown in, like when Mr. Furley thought Jack and Chrissy were getting it on in the bathtub when they were just trying to hang a shower curtain (Chrissy: "I don't think it'll reach!" Jack: "Of course not, you have to unfold it first!").

I can go on all day with TC. That is my SHOW.

So sad :(

Joyce was never a show biz type. Her motto in the early days of the show was that she wanted to not be a "big star" but a "long star." In a way, she got that wish, because everyone can tell you who she is by her face or her name, but TC is the only big thing she's got to her name. Suzanne bounced back with Step by Step, even had She's the Sheriff, and of course, the products. I like to believe Joyce is happy and at peace. Her and Priscilla Barnes (Terri) are supposedly BFFs now, so that kinda makes me smile.

    • John loved Sami unconditionally and forever
    • On May 27, Johnny spoke to Sami on the phone, and learned that Sami and Sydney were trying to fly in from Sicily, but were stopped by a volcanic eruption because the ash had grounded all the planes. As discussed on the May thread, ash from Mt. Etna in Sicily caused planes to be grounded in summer 2024, so Cwikly/Ford would have known that.  (I just learned that Mt. Etna has been considered "active" with intermittent activity since 2022.) Friday May 30, Will said that Sami and Sydney found another flight and will be here soon. Well, Sami and Sydney got out just in time, because … There was (and still is ongoing) a huge eruption of Mt. Etna that began very early Monday morning June 2 Italy time (which would be Sunday night June 1st Chicago time) and a volcanic ash plume had reached an altitude of around 6,400 metres (around 3 or 4 miles high) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/mount-etna-eruption-volcano-smoke-lava-live-updates-b2761911.html 
    • Agree to disagree. Like first, love second. OH, agree, agree, agree! Legendary Featherstone, you're not dressing this one well at all. Petite woman with ample bosom, wrong clothes = awful  matronly looking ugh. I'm sorry but I felt hit over the head with everything each of them thought & felt for about 6 more days than I felt I had signed on for.  I don't know you well enough to know if you will know when I'm teasing, so I've just warned you that I am when I say, I hate for you that you haven't actually met Danielle before. LOL. To me it was just a natural take.  I have no problem going back & forth between those two focal sites. But, I am certainly aware that early on I had an expectation of being really into their having 27 sets & that has definitely not been the realization. And, yes, for now, Frank is still heads above any & all others with us & sets IMO.  Huh? Guza gone. I have it in my head that he was only willing to come out of retirement (and presumed mourning) for a "certain amount of time" to help get this new creature launched, but had no desire to stay & so was one of the "over-staffed intentionally" that we were told about. Of course there's been no official word on the circumstances of his leaving.  But, you might mean go with Guza as in a style, if so, ignore the last para.

    • I'm so pleased we have such fan engagement about Dani. Reminds me of some other soap characters. I think it's because they are "polarizers" which is a word I may have just made up. They are polarizing on their shows to other characters & to story & they are polarizing in the audience as fans seem to have extreme reactions to them, love & hate, not middling neutrality, ya know? Well, it's a theory.  To me the human being you seek has been amply shown especially to two people & both more or less recently. Her sister bond with Nicole, whoa, has knocked me back & blown me away. And, with Chelsea, over her budding sexual identity and awareness. She gathered instantly that something was up with that daughter & was laser focused on her for several scenes. Then, for a third, she & Pamela have finally, also recently, been so real & genuine & authentic. 
    • Thanks, Paul, I did not know about his interest in the comedic elements or that he was one of our many people who came from the network! I have always liked Marlena de la Croix's writing, which is not to say I 100% agree with her. She's been a member of my FB soap group for a good long time & she actually posts, which I love. Recently I posted about an e-copy of Robert LaGuardia's SOAP WORLD that is free to borrow like a library e-book but on the Internet Archive site & I posted that at the time of their publications, all of his soap opera books were the gold standard.  She immediately posted about "Bob" who was her close friend & how much she still misses him to this day & that he loved to talk soaps & was also a nice guy, etc. which I was over the moon to have her share about the author & his time etc. like that!!!  
    • Just more RTD ego trips, seemingly his main reason for coming back.
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That's a lovely writeup. Do fans feel it was warranted?
    • So I was reminded that we're now meant to be celebrating PRIDE by this amazing post:

      I really wonder why they chose to write this whole ‘John is getting better’ part of the storyline, especially since we all knew what was really going to happen. And I hope we find out the answer someday. But as tough and as tearjerking as today was, it was also really beautiful. And the acting, even though a lot of it if not all of it was real, was spectacular. The flashbacks were beautiful too. I honestly can’t even describe how much I enjoyed today.  Having so many of John and Marlena’s scenes be focused on the two of them and their love story was the right decision. It was a fitting end to John and Marlena. And I’m also glad that John and Steve got to have one last goodbye after everything that happened. As for Bo and Hope and their family, I did think that some parts were a little unnecessary but I really enjoyed Bo’s dream and his reunion with Zack. The acting playing Zack actually did a pretty good job too. Everybody encouraging Bo to fight was really the right decision in this storyline as well.  As for the final minutes of today, be prepared. I actually have tears running down my cheeks as I write this.
