SON threads if the board had been around in the '80s

I think I did that too. Oddly enough it was like late-1980s posts about Loving, mostly recaps typed up around then. A very mean part of me thought, "I wonder if they were the only people watching Loving..."

Can you imagine what soap viewers in their late teens might feel like if they find some of the stuff from the mid-90s, like the "Brooke English/Bobbie Jones Slapping Society" and such...

LOL I remember an early AMC website that was all about the anti-Brooke. "This is how Brooke's fans see her," and it was that gorgeous picture of JB with long hair and a white gown, and then it said "This is how we see her," and it was one of those screwed screencaps that was taken mid-sentence. Hilarious.

:lol:

AW: I just can't watch 90 minutes every day

The anti-Brooke website was a classic. My favorite was the "Choose Your Own Adventure" with Brooke, which included Brooke not knowing her son's name, Brooke making Laura cry, Brooke mentioning her dead daughter Laura over and over, BROOKE ENGLISH HOMELESS SHELTER being in huge neon lights at the front of the building, Brooke getting drunk with Marian, Brooke trying to "turn" Michael Delaney's boyfriend, etc.

AW would probably be: ANOTHER producer out...

And we'd probably get a, "Why do soaps never get new writers? Enough Depriest/Marland/Lemay/O'Shea/Winsam/Falken Smith/Slesar/etc."

followed by

"Want a new writer? Fine. YOU take Jeff Ryder!"

AMC:

-So who should Kim Delaney choose to star in her first film with her?

-R.I.P. Bonkers :(

-Drinking Game: A shot every time Phoebe glances over at the cue cards (very popular on the set of Y&R :ph34r: )

    • BTG joke immediately followed by an AMC joke (same context)
    • Thanks!   Was anyone watching during this time? Wondering how Peggy’s rape played out onscreen. It just seems cruel to subject the Brooks family to this trauma a 2nd time.   Feels like the writers have already given up on the character of Jennifer, even though she sticks around another year-plus. She should be a passionate and fierce protective mother, but instead she seems just reactionary (and not even mentioned in this recap) This was also the case in ‘73 when Chris was raped. The writers are definitely more invested Stuart as the Brooks parent.
    • BTG got another SNL reference at 00:50  CONTEXT (so it isn't misconstrued) in this joke swap segment, Michael Che frequently makes his white cohost Colin Jost read racist jokes written by Che.

    • It's obvious that Israel's presence is a major divisive issue, and this is something that the EBU needs to deal with. According to the now published results Israel got 13 out of a possible 19 max points in the semi-final, and while their song isn't bad there's no way they would get those numbers without some kind of manipulation/political voting. They are clearly using this contest as a way of improving their somewhat tarnished reputation. I know that some people are comparing this to the massive sympathy votes that Ukraine gets and which propelled them to victory in 2022, but I feel that that was a more genuine show of support than this concerted effort from Israel to influence the televoting. I even had an ad on Youtube from Israel in Swedish(!) asking for votes! It might not be against any rules, but it feels a bit icky nonetheless.
    • Yeah, as you wrote, an Israeli win would have been a political disaster. Congratulations to Austria. 0 points from the televoting to Switzerland was a disgrace. Other than that, I really enjoyed the show ... but I'm also glad that Eurovision season is over

    • Hahaha Sorry if I was too negative, I just started typing and typing once I got going hahaha
    • @dc11786 Thanks for taking time to answer my various questions, along with giving your thoughts on the different writing teams. I wonder why they didn't just have Ryder and TR leave together if Jane was going anyway. The discussions over the last few pages have made me more interested in watching these episodes than I have been over the years - without the extra details and analyses provided, these years can be difficult to decipher (not helped by how often Jo seems like a side character).
    • I didn't think this was very good (I've never yet seen a good episode of this revival), but you do get a lot of Michael Stroka. And if you are a Donna Reed Show fan, you also get Paul Petersen.

    • A very rare, fascinating look at camera blocking in a 1980 episode. Very loose, almost startlingly so (who expects to see Will Vernon with a cig dangling out of his mouth?). @vetsoapfan There's some Jacquie Courtney content in the back half of the video.
