Nope :(

A lot of the people they would memorialize would also be done at the Emmys, but there are so many, like Debralee, that the Emmys just wouldn't think to include. A year like this one would have the perfect time to start doing one because of so many legends we've lost. It would have been very fitting to have it set to a nice, slow, solemn TV theme, too.

OMG speaking of themes. Jack f'n Jones, man! He's still kickin' on the Love Boat after all these years. Love me some Jack Jones.

Two and a Half Men is certainly watchable, but I find it to be WAY overrated and I feel like a better sitcom actor could do more with Charlie's role. Plus, the jokes are very amateurish, I was watching a rerun last night and there were no less than four jokes about "putting something" in a woman's mouth, and it wasn't even funny the first time. Actually, I was more shocked that they went there so many times on this "family favorite". I'm no prude, believe me, but I am a firm believer in "time and place" and cheap, unfunny jokes are just not worth the viewer's time.

An old acquaintence of mine's dad wrote that theme. :P

Debralee, it's like I knew she was an actress and all, but it's just Match Game, Match Game, Match Game for me. :D

I rarely watch that show, as even though I like Conchatta Farrell and Holland Taylor, the kid on the show annoys me, Charlie Sheen is...Charlie Sheen, and Jon Cryer has seemed like a displaced garden gnome for most of his career. The bile towards women and gays in the episode I watched last, I think that was with Lucy Lawless, was enough to keep me from watching again.

That's how I feel about Steve Martin, actually. I loved him back in the late 70s. I thought he was freakin' hilarious. Wild and crazy guy. Excuuuuuuuuuuusssssse ME! Loved The Jerk. Loved him on SNL. The arrow through the head. Had the King Tut single. Then he just lost it for me. I guess some would say he grew out of his schtick but I liked his schtick. ;) Granted, I was a kid then but I do miss that zany part of him.

Anyway....it seems like all the nice things people say about Tom Hanks are true. He really does seem like a cool guy. :)

I know what you mean about Steve Martin. He still does comedy but it's a more snide type now. The goofy stuff he doesn't have his heart in. He looked like he hated that Pink Panther remake.

The plastic surgery he had a few years ago, or I think he did, has also changed him, it took away some of the humor of his face.

Some videos of the Bosom Buddies cast on the red carpet. Poor Peter Scolari was supposed to do a movie with Tom but had to drop out. And I think Ann Coulter is behind him ::shudder::

I grew up watching Telma in so many reruns, I think Gimme a Break was first, then Bosom Buddies. I didn't "get" for a while that I had also seen her on Family Matters, she seemed different to me on that show, I guess it was the character.

Then I was even more shocked to find out about her singing career.

I love what she says about real stars. I'm sure she probably gets burned up when she thinks about somebody from The Hills becoming a huge presence in the media.

Yeah, I was also surprised when on whatever program I was watching they showed a clip of Telma with a flower in her hair as half of Dawn.

I just went looking for it but I can't find it, there was a nice Gimme A Break clip with Telma, Nell, and Lynn Thigpen (played Nell's sister) singing old tunes.

Did find a good one of Nell and Dolly Parton singing gospel though. ;)

      I think the gross ickiness is Josh Griffith's intention. At birth, Ian Ward stole Mariah from Sharon, so that Sharon knew only of the Cassie twin and not the Mariah twin.  Sharon gave up Cassie for adoption at birth, never knowing that Mariah existed. When Ian Ward stole baby Mariah, he had her be raised by a woman member of his cult. She grew up in his cult. Years later, after Mariah was an adult in Genoa City and had left him, he tried to kidnap her to marry him himself, I sort of remember some icky scenes where he had arranged a wedding, but she escaped or was rescued -- it was so gross that I chose to forget it, and I don't want to look up the details. Mariah is feeling traumatized/triggered by Ian Ward being in Genoa City several months ago, because he was obsessed with her, and he terrorized her loved ones, interacted with Tessa, and drugged Sharon, which ultimately resulted in the death of Heather -- causing the grief of Daniel and Lucy. None of that was Mariah's fault. But she was so horrified by what happened, that she feels she did something wrong that caused this hateful villain to continue to obsess about her.   Based on small comments that Mariah made recently, I think she feels completely worthless. I gather that when she was away on the business trip a month or two ago, all of what happened with Ian Ward and Heather's death just hit her all at once and she was mentally/emotionally collapsing, and just felt unable to call for help.  During the business trip she sat in her hotel room and spiraled more, feeling more and more worthless and afraid. Finally she started drinking at a bar, and that's when the creepy old man approached her.  By that point, she wasn't in her right mind, and started interacting with the guy.  Either she thought he was Ian, or she thought he was someone like Ian, and she would be *required* to flirt with him in a role play, and do what he commanded, almost like old programming being reactivated.  Or perhaps just simple self-loathing playing out. I don't know if the guy actually knew Ian or Jordan, or if he was a random stranger.  But Mariah's fear/loathing/subconscious chaos kicked in. And then... well that's as far as her flashbacks have aired so far. She can't bear to face the rest of whatever it was.  I gather that in the coming episodes, we'll (eventually) find out what happened next as we see more of the icky flashbacks. --------------- The rest of this post is only my speculation: I think that she felt like she was supposed to have sex with him but didn't want to, and may have tried to kill him instead. Or he r*ped her.  Or they didn't have sex at all, but it's all convoluted in her mind.  Something horrible happened but I don't think it was her fault.  If the man died, maybe she covered it up?  I really don't know, I'm just speculating ideas. At any rate, I'm totally convinced that this is NOT a conventional "cheating storyline" where someone willingly has sex outside their relationship. ----------------- This is basically Josh Griffith's obsession with dark storylines, creepy villains, and terrible writing of "mental health issues".

      The most we ever saw was on the "Roger years" tape.

      Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.

      Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.

      I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.

      omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

      There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.

      Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
