Members Khan Posted December 22, 2021 Members Share Posted December 22, 2021 No offense to anyone, but that is one of the gayest things I've ever seen. And I've watched "RuPaul's Drag Race." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted December 22, 2021 Members Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Yes, that was fairly gay, but a lot of 80s aerobics had that feel. And I'm glad you are back, Khan. I missed your posts. Edited December 22, 2021 by ReddFoxx 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 22, 2021 Members Share Posted December 22, 2021 Ah, yes, the Eighties. Rampant homophobia mixed with conspicuous consumption and excess. Good times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ReddFoxx Posted December 23, 2021 Members Share Posted December 23, 2021 It was an interesting decade in that in produced so much material that became popular within gay culture and at the same time cultural conservatism became more organized. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 27, 2021 Members Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) I've been on a Shakespeare revival binge lately preparing to see the new Macbeth, and I forgot this was on YT - a 1974 NY Shakespeare Festival production of King Lear, featuring James Earl Jones as Lear, Ellen Holly as Regan, plus Douglass Watson (AW), Rosalind Cash (GH), Lee Chamberlin (AMC) as well as Paul Sorvino, Raul Julia, Rene Auberjonois and on and on - a very impressive cast. Holly appears throughout but if you don't want to look too far, you can definitely find her around 1:13:50: The symbiotic relationship between the NY soaps and NY theater was a fruitful one for decades and one we are weaker to have lost. @DRW50@SFK @Darn Edited December 27, 2021 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 27, 2021 Members Share Posted December 27, 2021 Thanks. What a great find. I don't think the loss is even something most people will truly feel for a long time to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted December 28, 2021 Members Share Posted December 28, 2021 Yes! I did an internal reading of Lear at STC a couple of months ago and I watched this to get reacquainted with the piece. It’s a marvelous, well-cast production. All of the soap connections are heaven. The first time Miss Holly speaks, I thought of Paul Rauch and found myself getting angry. I tried to quickly shake that off, he wasn’t about to ruin this for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Planet Soap Posted January 1, 2022 Members Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) At 0:11, this 2000s rebroadcast of Todd & Blair's 1995 wedding features the modern OLTL theme dubbed over the champagne opening. I remember seeing this during the OLTL finale marathon on SoapNet in 2012. I can't seem to find any other episodes on the YouTube that use this intro variation, so what is this done for copyright/royalties purposes during the re-broadcast?

Members SFK Posted January 3, 2022 Members Share Posted January 3, 2022 Yes, @ironlion that is most likely the case. I also remember when this aired, I’m sure there are posts of us discussing it here in the archives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 4, 2022 Members Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Was that when ABC was all "look, it's costing us a lot of money to make these shows, so we gotta make less episodes, so here have some reruns," and of course most of the reruns were not very exciting? I think that particular OLTL was the only one from more than five years back. I do remember the theme dubbing and us talking about it. I feel as though something like a theme song should be taken into consideration when clearing music rights for the future... I know there are some older sitcoms in the public domain that are released on those super cheap DVD sets with dubbed theme songs (mainly thinking of Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction, but I know there are others), but a soap theme in the 90s?

Members SFK Posted January 4, 2022 Members Share Posted January 4, 2022 Married ... With Children is another one. These are shows with iconic themes, it just isn't right to be stripped of them. And wow, I had totally forgotten all about that budget mess when they decided to make less episodes. What a dark time, the end was near. Joan Copeland, Arthur Miller's sister who played Viki's aunt, Gwendolyn Lord Abbott has passed away at 99. https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Joan-Copeland-Stage-and-Screen-Actress-and-Sister-of-Arthur-Miller-Dies-at-99-20220104?utm_source=newsletterdaily&utm_medium=email 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
