I like this show and I either like or don't mind most of the family members. The ones I really don't care for are Rob and Kylie. IMO, Rob and Kylie are both spoiled and I don't like the way that Rob acts a lot of the time. He doesn't seem very motivated to do anything for himself. I don't like the way he verbally attacks people (like Scott) when they achieve any sort of success. He likes to hit below the belt when he verbally insults people.

At times, I haven't cared much for Kris or Kourtney and I'm kind of indifferent to Lamar, but other than that I like/don't mind most of the family. Including Kim, (who I like), Khloe, Kendall, Bruce, and Scott. I really enjoy Mason, he seems like a great kid.

I think that a lot of times Kim is self-absorbed but I still like her and I think that she cares about her family.

I'm making my way through season two and I did a double take when they showed home movies of Bruce in 1995. He still looked good. Yes there was the nose job but otherwise he looked good. Those other facelifts he probably had after this really wrecked his face.

Rob and the Cheetah Girl true love forever and how she's just like his father - kind of odd. His hair this season is absolutely terrible. I notice he's not in most of the episodes I've watched so far.

I'm watching the third season (or part of it), which I guess is ancient history in reality show terms, especially with relationships you know are long over (like Rob Kardashian and his Cheetah Girl).

That Lasik surgery episode I had to sort of skip over after halfway - I don't know if you can go and do a dance routine a day after getting Lasik, but that's TV for you. Beyond that, I've known people whose eyes were badly damaged by that procedure so I'm uneasy when I see it shilled.

The PETA episode where Bruce suggested that Khloe lose weight and she stormed out was strange, as there was no resolution between them. It was dropped. I saw a deleted scene where they were arguing again, but still no resolution.

The best episode was probably the one where Kris went to Robert's grave and was talking about how she couldn't take back the pain she'd caused him. As much as I know she is a drama queen and as much as I know a lot of this is done for TV, that whole storyline felt much more true to life than almost anything I've ever seen on a reality show.

I just found my favorite episode of KUWTK ever and I'm squeeing! It's from the 1st season. Episode 7 "Helping Hand." Back when I was like 13-14 this ep ALWAYS cracked my ass up for some reason. I loved Khloe! This was also so good because they really helped that homeless guy out. It was just beautiful. Watching now, I cringe a bit at some parts (the fake delivery of the talking head lines and blatant ADR is glaring to me now having worked a bit in the industry and just knowing reality is mostly manufactured) but it still has a lot of nostalgic elements for me. I just had to share wub.png

Best part is @10:30 when Khloe's like "I know this seems crazy, but what the f-ck, he seems like such a nice guy" laugh.png (when she starts laughing at the tail end of that statement I die every time. Hysterical."

ETA: Also OMG, look at Kendall & Kylee in that ep. They were so little. Now look at their lil' FAST asses today! tongue.png

In other news, have y'all seen the latest pics of Rob...

I think Rob is depressed and his family is part of the reason. When you have a pimp for a mom, a stepdad that is slowly becoming woman, a "klan" of sisters that are fame-hungry whores, and all their men/suitors who are just as starving and thirsty, I'd be a wreck too. It doesn't help that he followed suit of his sister and latched himself onto a fellow famewhore (Rita WHORE-a Ora), and she sucked him dry and moved onto bigger, better people (DJ Calvin Harris) to help catapult her career (it's still sh*t if you ask me).

And there are rumors out there that Rob has a secret baby with a girl in FL, who Kris disapproves of (probably b/c she isn't in the industry), and he's uber depressed over that.

Plus, Rob is dependent on this family. They've spoiled and hindered him. He needs to get away from the toxicity that family possesses. He should take his sock business and move to the opposite side of the globe. Cut all ties. I think he'd regain his happiness and sexiness back when he breaks away Grand Wizard Momma Kris and the Klan.

    • I loved Kelley Menighan! She was an MVP, especially during the show’s last few years. I always looked forward to anything she did with MM, BH, CZ, MW,  and the two grownup Alisons. Wasn’t a big fan of her with RH’s Paul. I always admired how she balanced being a vixen and being neurotic.
    • LLC can be a lot (lady definitely doesn’t phone it in), but her scenes with Rena made me wish they played actual sisters on a better platform.  Aside from JE, who is a legend so it’s no surprise when she’s excellent, Amanda Setton is my MVP of this story and she hasn’t always been great in this role. You see so much happening in her face as she’s navigating the shifts and layers of this story. She’s fully locked in. Glad Rory Gibson is getting his due on GH. I knew he had more to give than what Y&R was giving him. The writing will be a factor here as well because the character of Michael hasn’t been written well in ages (if ever, arguably). GH just can’t sustain the good stuff for more than a few weeks. Alexa Havins is a very good actress and was widely embraced as Lulu initially, but the character’s one-note abrasiveness has a lot of folks wishing she was gone at this point. 
    • It's pilots like "Hurricane Sam" and "Anything for Love" that makes me so afraid to write professionally, because, my God, what if I actually tried and came up with something just as awful, if not worse (if that's even possible)?
    • JANUARY 1974 SPECIALS ADDED... Here are the January 1974 specials which have been added to the yearly list on page 76:

    • Wow, you have the patience of a saint watching through this period. I think the show does get better but it takes a while.  I won't give any spoilers about Zachary, but I will drop a slight hint: GL was probably trying to get a ratings boost by doing a story inspired by one of CBS's few primetime hits in the mid-1990s. And no, Zachary does not turn out to be a Texas ranger.

    • I like Pamela too. At risk of sounding like a "Pollyanna", story and actor wise, I love the show. The hour flies by.  My only true dislike is the way it's edited. The sudden drop offs to commercial needs to be worked on. 
    • I’m up to July 8, 1996. Aww, we just lost Ed Bauer in late June. He left to go on assignment in Africa. I don’t know if this was the actor’s decision or the show’s, but it’s sad to see a long-time vet go like this. Granted, he hasn’t really had a storyline in a year, since Eve died, but sad nonetheless that he won’t be floating around the hospital or reprimanding Michelle for dressing too provocatively. At least they held a nice going away party for him, with most of the cast there in attendance. It was a nice sendoff. Oh they also had the HIV/AIDS program coordinator from the hospital, who got to dance with Lucy. That was a nice homage and followup to the story from last year. There were some strong scenes between Rick and Michelle during the 4th of July, reminiscing about their past Bauer BBQs they had and how sad it is without Ed this year. Also with Michelle and Abby, where she told her about her grandma and their wonderful traditions. I do love Abby, she’s very sweet and way easier to watch outside of her Amish storyline. Rick is very kind to her and it really makes me like him. Ugh, what a sad day. Rick Hearst has left, unceremoniously. His last scene was at Ed’s going away party, and had nothing to do with him, sadly. Also, a new J just showed up. A much more handsome guy and a little more grown up, it feels. We’ll see how I like him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a double voice-over in a row like this, where one scene ends with nuA-M showing up and making a statement, then voice over man says the “The role of A-M…” and then immediately a new scene with J starts and he back to back says “And the role of J…”. Wild! We’re losing so many actors and characters this year, again. Vivian has got to be the worst character right now for me. She is so weak. We’ve had so many repetitive scenes with Vivian and Holly, where Holly tells her to just tell the damn truth so everything can end, and she just whines about how she can’t do it. Meanwhile, she’s cheating on her husband, pissing off her daughter, and now she just told Charles that Griffin is hitting on her. Also, they just brought her into the Alan Spaulding and his Advantage Systems storyline, to bring down the 5th Street restoration, and it’s because the Grants made some bad investments so they wanted to make money. The writers are really driving this family into the ground, but especially Vivian. Prior to this, I rarely saw her, but when she popped in a few times, she always seemed like a fun, stylish yet snooty character who struggled over supporting David and his life decisions, but wow has she really been turned into a horribly weak person. Dahlia is now dressing up like a prostitute, while a high schooler (what??), and almost got raped (blah). Marcus saved her, but yeah, I’m not feeling this story anymore. And now they’re testing J with Dahlia and having them flirt a lot on the beach, which isn’t making Marcus happy. I can’t believe A-M announced on TV to all of Springfield the news about Amanda being the Malibu Madame. I know this was probably more of a scandal in the 90s, but today it seems sort of minor in the grand scheme of things haha. I was way more invested in this story in the beginning, when Matt was involved, but it finalized as a big dud. The “Save our Streets” 5th Street storyline is really, really boring after all these months. At this point, I don’t care who wins - Alan/Amanda or the town of Springfield. All the chanting is laughable and Alan screaming at Buzz/Reva every episode is tiring.  5th Street has been under construction and trying to be ‘saved’ for 18 months now, let’s move on. Vanessa has now passed out twice, curious to see what’s wrong with her and where this goes (finally something to showcase her!).  Also, this is where Zachary finally makes an appearance, to help an alone Vanessa come to. She doesn’t know him, but he knows her name and knows to call Matt. Someone else mentioned this, but I too feel like this was meant to be someone else at first - perhaps Marian (or my wishful thinking haha)? For a month or so, they never show his face, just a hand with a gold (very unisex, at least) bracelet. But then, not showing his face again, has an encounter with Phillip where his voice is very deep, and then again with Ed at Ed’s going away party. Based on their very short conversation, it almost seems like Ed sold him the lighthouse (we’ll see). But now he’s made an appearance in Lucy’s dream where we finally see his face, and then again now with Vanessa. He also showed face to Marah/Shayne and they recognized him, so curious to see who this person finally is and how people know of him or how he seems to know everyone. But, it was odd in the beginning - either he was supposed to be Marian, or they just didn’t have an actor cast yet. Oh and now the recent cliffhanger, Lucy is walking the beach alone, post-fight with A-M, and he’s there to say hello to her. He feels like a God-like being haha. He’s a very pretty, young man, maybe a little too young looking. I haven’t been spoiled at all on who this is and where his story goes, so it’s interesting and one of the few things keeping me going right now. Finally, the Hart/Dinah/Roger story is so draining and ridiculous. They think we’re going to root for Dinah and Hart, as they carry out this plan to make Roger go insane and become a couple in the process, but they’re really an unlikeable duo now. I used to really ‘love to hate’ Dinah, but now she’s just malicious and unlikeable. There was a really weird campy scene where Roger sees a shirtless man wearing this weird mask after he chugged the vial of Lanatrat. Now Roger is in the hospital and they keep allowing Hart to evade all cops and hospital staff, showing up to haunt Roger at every corner. Now they got Blake, Matt and Vanessa to go along with their plan in making him think he’s crazy. It’s just too much, but I will say Zaslow is giving a great performance with this ridiculous story. Oh, Quint did return home on an excavating assignment, post-breakup with his 20-something girlfriend. But they stuck him in this stupid story with Roger/Hart/Dinah, and the Native American grounds that he plans to dig up just happened to be exactly where Hart was “buried” LOL - so dumb. Annie is finally starting to take more pills and make things more interesting, which Phillip is catching onto. They keep having these two run into each other and are building a nice rapport. The only things keeping me going are the promise of Annie’s pill popping/downward spiral (since I know she’s not Josh’s endgame), Ross/Blake/Rick and the babies, Rick/Abby’s budding relationship, mystery Zachary, and maybe Michelle/J. Everything else is pretty bad and I’m looking forward to getting to the ends of their storylines.
    • Thanks for the tag @DRW50 as always!! This is an era of AMC I’ve read much about yet seen so little of.
