Thought I might as well start a discussion for this, since a lot of board members seemed to have watched it.

What were everyone's thoughts on the show? I thought it was very good, and dramatic. Definitely has the makings for being a good primetime soap!

The cast was good, but the characters were riddled with way too many streotypes IMO(the bitchy blond who shoplifts, has an eating disorder, an absentee dad, and a hobag for a mom had to be the worst) and the plots were all obvious and redundant. Pilots are always horrible though, especially with these kind of shows so I'm gonna give it a few more episodes to improve.

YAY someone started a topic.

IA with the poster that the pilot was a little face paced (thought so a few weeks ago when I first saw it)... but it definitely gets way better. I'm up to episode 6 (reading wise and I can't wait for what happens nect). Definitely keep with it! I also think it was sort of fast just so you can get some basic backgroud with the characters if you haven't read the books.

I wonder if Bryce Johnson will be in more episode? I really dont remember if he was in the next two i seen, but i hope. I love him. I actually got to meet him last weekend - we were staying at the same hotel, random. I know he is in that new fox show Lonestar too, but filming on that shouldnt get in the way of this.

Yep, this show has hooked me right off the bat. Love the premise, and the actresses, but Ashley Benson's character's mom is too over the top. You are going to bang a cop so nobody finds out your child shoplifted something? :blink:

BTW, what was the name of the actress who was the girl that is now living in Alison's house? If its who I think it is then she is WAY to old to be playing a teen.

Please tell me it's not as easy as Jenna sending the texts ... that's boring, however, I'm loving Tammin Sursok in this. That's right, I DO NOT FEEL ASHAMED!

Why do I get the feeling the cop is going to want to have sex with Ashley Benson's character?

Yeah I don't think Jenna is sending the texts, and I agree with Amello, I'm enjoying Sursok. :lol:

Another good episode, this show def. on my list of shows to record.

I think I am going to like Emily/Maya, and Emily is my fave girl followed by Hannah.

Yeah I like it too. My daughter and I sit and watch it. It will now be our Tuesday evening thing which I am really enjoying. She also wants to read the books so Barnes and Nobles here we come.

I like the characters. They all have issues. I really want to know about this Jenna chick because at first I thought she was the one sending tex messages but now that is too obvious. The teacher and student relationship is wrong on morals but so hot. I cant wait to wife finds out about the father having an affair and that the Ari knew along.

Overall good show.

    • Dina was Jack, Ashley and Tracy's mom on Y&R.  Joanna was Lauren Fenmore's mother, played by Susan Seaworth-Hayes.
    • The funeral was not onscreen - only the Brooks returning home after the service. Not aware of any available clips.
    • Very very well said!!!

      I would only add that Sam Ratcliff is frequently named in regards to certain AW comedic turns.  And, we know from Carolyn Culliton (tweet 2024) that Sam & Gary put their heads together & came up with that gorilla.  
    • I knew you would be so excited seeing your girl Brookey as #1!!!! She also WINS as to Frequently Married!!!  
    • Yes, Stacy does this both for early DAYS & early GH. I have written some for her, for DAYS. But just one tiny point & that is that she only deals with DVDs. I realize that is not the point of your posting but it seemed the right thing to clarify. I know that you know that video tapes is past, not present.
    • Hahahha I think sleeping with almost all of your daughters's boyfriends and husbands and getting pregnant... definitely gives Brooke the right to top 1 place. Long live the whore of Beverly hills.

    • CurlyQGrl has DVDs of some episodes, that they can sell, but that doesn't matter. What is helpful: they describe the scenes on the tapes, so you can read that as recaps without ordering anything. Doesn't really give storylines, though, which is what you asked for.  Here's the links anyhow. full menu https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/menu.html GH page https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/menu.html GH 1960s https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/eps/gheps1960s.htm
    • I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons. 
    • I'm excited for us to get back to a full weeks worth of episodes and also us beginning to move into the episodes filmed once the show premiered. We're already starting to see changes in the lighting and the way certain characters are styled. Of course we know this week we have our first recast as well. After the big Eva reveal, I hope the show continues to move into a positive direction and that we see them starting to fix some of the things we've all had issues with.
