B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

I don't feel its a major deal a few episodes have missing cue music (although if there is an alternate broadcast of those episodes that would be fab). I can count on both hands the frequency this has happened on Videoland. It is clearly a distribution error by BBL, rather than a Videoland error. I had a list of episodes without music cues but I must have deleted, sorry.

Re the quality on YouTube, I think I mentioned a while back this is 100% a business strategic decision. They do not want perfect quality episodes sitting on a free platform that can be downloaded. Perfect quality HD episodes will always be behind a paywall - they have recently began adding old episodes to Google Play too.

It is a major deal if they continue to do so. They did on youtube so we are concerned about that. It is nice to alarm VL about this so that these "distribution"  errors will stop happening.

Also yeah I understand the HD episodes  behind a paywall, but if you are going to upload episodes for free in BAD quality WITHOUT music which they did in season 10... dont do it at all. I dont like and understand the mentality that if something is free it can be bad and its ok. No it is not, because the show has legacy and they need to protect that. Imagine being an actress in the show that is now being uploaded without background music looking and sounding ridiculous while screaming in a scene in the shower after your character has been raped... without music. It is not good and mistakes like this... WHICH THEY MAKE A LOT, should be corrected.

 

So what episodes are available on google play?

P.S ALL of my friends that I BEGGED to watch the show on youtube HAVE stopped most of them complaining of extremely low quality. 

I dont share the vault with people since I dont want it to be deleted... so I cant help them most of the time.

But this makes me angry since people START watching and stop due to the quality. NOBODY is asking for HD, just a normal 480p VHS level low to mid quality is OK. LOL. But they will not do it and the show will be watched in youtube by just a handful of people

THANK GOD for the vault.

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!
    • That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.
    • On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

    • Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?
    • I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

    • It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)

    • They could easily be re-created, or even re-shot in different ways, especially if they were re-shooting scenes at some point, as well.
