Members LoyaltoAMC Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Damn, I remember that article too. I was all about AMC until around 96 or 97. FMB's departure pretty much coincided with Disney buying out ABC, and I noticed a difference in the show around this time. Not just the obvious crap that went against the show's grain, like the voodoo nonsense. They'd done this type of silly stuff in the past (Lars' reveal as a Nazi, the Damon Lazarre stuff, for example), so these weird elements weren't entirely foreign to the show, but this time there was a more subtle change in tone I can't quite put my finger on. I still watched, though, but the bottom really dropped out when McT returned in 98/99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Once Bianca's anorexia story was over, AMC was pretty much DOA for the next year and a bit. Wasn't that a Broderick left-over too? Tad and Dixie though was fun. McT always (until the end that is) seemed to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Angela Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Cheap, I for one didn't like nu-Charlie or nu-Brian. The soaps were all so good 1991-1994. They were on fiyah in 1993. I had stopped watching AMC in early 1996. Like EricM I began watching without mom having it on the channel in around maybe 1989-1990. DAYS got me while AMC was weak coming out of McTavish's crazy turn in 1994-1995 and LB being forced to do DAYS like stuff on AMC. There were also just too many new faces everywhere on the show for me between the Santos family and teenagers. Here's some more articles from McTavish's 1993-1994.

Members Cheap21 Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Haha, good point. I forgot about her. She was dreadful. I hated NuBrian as well. I didnt mind Charlie though but then again I wasnt used to the previous ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 +1 When the baby switch happens, she'll have Annie keep the secret about the baby being Jason & Sam's and would probably even have Annie invite Sam to the baby's christening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Melody Anderson, she was horrible. Maybe she wasn't horrible but I loved Kate Collins and she was no Kate Collins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted January 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 The Tad/Ted, storyline, as preposterous as it was, held my attention, and I actually enjoyed it. I love that still photo of Dixie trying to save an unconscious Tad in the river. I know this was McTavish's story. Sometimes her outlandish stories worked, and sometimes they didn't. I think it's all about execution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 They should just hire Jean Passanante and put AMC out of its misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Isn't she on OLTL? They hire her, the show really is a goner. I can't believe how far AMC has slunk in the demos. Aren't they getting the same kinds of demos GL & ATWT were getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 How does Jean Passanante have anything to do with the conversation going on in this thread? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
