I don't think it was that bad either. It definitely wasn't my favorite, but I preferred it to the last 2 seasons.

You know it's funny because the first "into the future" episode I thought of when you mentioned this was "Dream Marriage," but that's when Mrs. G was still on the show. It's fun to watch it now because you get to see what they thought the future would be like and how close (or far off) they were. I liked the episode you mentioned too. Jo had the best old woman costume in my opinion in "Golden Oldies."

There's an early ep when the Drummonds are visiting and as the closing producer/writer credits flash, Gary Coleman knocks over a huge thing of punch, or at least several cups and he does that thing where you jump back with your lower body so it doesn't spill all over on you. He kind of sheepishly looks around to the folks off-stage.

YES! "Dope"! That's the final episode of season one. Helen Hunt was in that one--she was so young! It's funnier knowing she was in that CBS Schoolbreak Special Desperate Lives a few years later, diving out a school window while high (while Tricia Cast is gleefully driving over a cliff laugh.png ).

Speaking of which, The Wonder Years isn't being bumped off, is it? I hope not sad.png .

I always thought there was something a little dirty and weird about that John Lawlor character...not helped by the episode where Blair was in love with him.

How I miss the days of bizarrely reacting studio audiences. Why are they applauding Sue Ann getting high? Did they get lost on their way to a Dead show?

laugh.png That's my theory, too. LOVE those sketches. I want a cute little gray cat like that someday.

Anyone else remember these FOL promos on Nick at Nite? I LOVED these.

I especially love Blair's line: "Poverty is no fun." Words to live by.

I hate to tell you this. But, yep. It is. So is Family Ties and Doogie Howser. I'm just hoping they will still play those on Weekends though.

Weeknights the lineup is

9:00: Sabrina The Teenage Witch

9:30: Facts Of Life

10:00: Mork and Mindy

10:30: Happy Days

11:00: Laverne and Shirley

11:30: Batman

I don't think this show should have ever "gone away." I mean shows like brady Bunch and Cheers have been on "a station" in reruns for decades. Especially now with 500 channels you'd think they should have been on all along. If Nick didn't want them, they should have gone to maybe Lifetime or one of those. lets hope it has a long "life" on The Hub.

Yea, I'm semi-sad that Family Ties is going off. When i first found this station, I DVR's Family Ties every day to see all the episodes. it was great fun. I might catch Sabrina because i used to watch it all the time on "TGIF" ABC during it's original run.

just saw that first episode and i still don't understand that they had Cindy the Tomboy (with Blair hinting at Cindy being a lesbian) but then they got rid of her and brought on Jo a tomboy. I know Jo was more rough from the bronx who didn't care what she said to people most of the time but they could have done something like that with Cindy. They fired one girl and then hired someone else to play bascially the same type character with a different background. No sense. Although i think Nancy Mckeon turned into a better looking woman than Julie Haddock. Right from the season where she curled her hair, after having it all twisted togethr for the first few seasons.

    • I do agree that I wish there was more gay representation in terms of singles. I also had hoped we'd get a Black couple since it was a Black soap and I don't know that we've ever seen that on a US soap.  With that said, it's still early days so I can imagine we'll get that at some point. I am impressed they launched with as much LGBT representation considering how US soaps can be.
    • Thank you. I know we're all supposed to see that BTG is progressive when it comes to queer characters, but it's telling that they won't commit to showcasing gay or bi males who are single and looking. That relationship couldn't be any more traditional. Will we ever get a bedroom scene with Smitty and Martin? I have my doubts.
    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
