SMG should play Jane Campbell's daughter: "Kendall, my mother is seriously ill, she's had this crazy Erica Kane obsession for as long as I can remember. I had no idea it had gone this far. I see so much of myself in you, I know we haven't had the easiest relationships with our mothers, but Kendall, you've got to convince Erica to have mercy on my mother!" *cue ♫dunh-dunh-dunh-dunh...♫*

:rolleyes:

I hated her Kendall, I think they modeled Greenlee after her Kendall, cause(pre-Rylee) there wasn't much difference, both are such one note characters who lack any depth or feeling, but at least SMG was better than RB could ever dream of being

Kendall was always alot more subtle and subdued than Greenlee ever was. Greenlee was written more like a pitbull. Extremely impulsive and quick to attack. That did not describe Kendall under SMG. She was more methodically and strategic with her schemes. She wasnt quick to pick fights and be a bitch just for the sake of being a bitch. Overall she was alot more sly, cunning and her approach to confrontation was more defensive whereas with Greenlee, she was more offensive, literally picking on and antagonizing others

Susan is SO ready to unleash. She actually answered Joy's "are you pissed?" with a Yes. She's almost like a jack in the box, we're winding her up and up and up and up and soon she won't be able to help herself and she'll POP!

I'm hoping it's with Andy Cohen, she'll have a cocktail in hand and an adoring host to help her through it.

Cancellation might suck for AMC and its fans, but it's getting SL the press and attention of her life. (Who's laughing now, Brian Frons?)

Meanwhile, what she has to about "reality shows" in general is correct, I think. "An American Family" was "reality;" the [!@#$%^&*] that's on today ain't nowhere realistic.

I think the closest you get to reality is Big Brother, because you have the option of watching a live feed and even if you don't watch, you can read transcripts, if you have the time or energy, that is.

I do think that a lot of viewers know, and don't especially care, that stuff like Real Housewives isn't real. It's a fun way to kill time, not a docudrama. The only reason they're called reality shows is because it was a term created years ago for the genre. I always kind of laugh when someone says, "Survivor isn't real!" Anyone who has watched for more than a few episodes know it's about as real as Jeff's hair color...

    • First, let me say I love reading all of your takes and thoughts. They always provide a different point of view... a breath of fresh air... in this sometimes stuffy topic.

      You've inspired me to add my 2 cents about this product placement debacle.  I absolutely HATE the way they are doing product placement in BTG. I really hope this doesn't catch on or evolve into more and more of these moments. It's incredibly off-putting to place them in a highly dramatic moment where we are still on the emotional journey with the character. What is next - Dani spraying the house while having a nervous breakdown? It makes me not want to buy the product they're selling. LOL. That's just me.   
    • I always get the vibe that Martin/Smitty have an emotional abusive relationship set up... but I doubt the show will really go there with that element given that Martin is a Dupree (and we can't have the Duprees be portrayed in a negative light), and because it's a gay male relationship.   Even though abuse in the physical or emotional sense is a huge thing in a lot of gay and lesbian relationships. The Ashley/Naomi scene reads off to me for one reason....  Ashley was talking about the new scandal without any sort of mention and/or subtext.. considering she knew both Silk Press Sheila and Eva.  I'm not sure if the writers have forgotten, if Jen Jacobs isn't able to play subtext, or what.   It's just apparent the writers do not know how to write a young white millennial couple.. and perhaps they need to get a younger white script writer to be on staff... or let the actors play around with the lines to make them more natural/realistic.
    • This is as good a time as any to point out that the 90 minute show was, what I like to call  "cockamamie idea" of Fred Silverman, head of NBC Daytime Programming. He did so well at ABC & CBS but not so NBC. We learned this from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay, 2006, can be found on YouTube, audio only. Now, to be clear, Rauch was completely behind it. Only Lemay fought against it & eventually quit over it.   
    • She was so wonderful. Glad your handle has been a tribute to her.
    • Hopefully Alan has learned to not interrupt or interject with pointless information while someone is in the middle of telling a story. I almost think it would be better if Alan was a producer behind the scenes.. and he just had the actors on screen talking and asking one another questions.  Those interviews tend to work better.
    • It was only recently announced that Denise Alexander passed away on March 5, 2025. She was my all time favorite actress and role model. She will be dearly missed.  Denise Alexander, ‘General Hospital' and ‘Days of Our Lives' Actress, Dies at 85
    • Hopefully Alan will actually read the book beforehand.

    • Am I the only one who immediately thinks of this every time someone mentions Smitty?
