Members gtru1981 Posted October 30, 2012 Members Share Posted October 30, 2012 This show is one step closer to be canceled! I was watching the show and my roommate walks by. He stated how crappy the production, sets, clothing, and acting was. He was like, this crap is still on the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 30, 2012 Members Share Posted October 30, 2012 Which pretty well sums it up, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jjjg Posted October 30, 2012 Members Share Posted October 30, 2012 I'd take MarDar as well. They had the bringing back of all the vets for sweeps for the HTS, they had the John story/arrest and Johnny's disappearance. They brought back Jack and had his PTSD. For Feb sweeps they had Will going bad, which I miss and hate that Tomlin killed that story for that character. Tomlin's come in and killed Jack, fired half the vets, plastered his fav Gabi, Rafe and Daniel on everyday. He's 100x worse. Only good has been Kristen's return which was Sony's doing.

Members JackPeyton Posted October 30, 2012 Members Share Posted October 30, 2012 that was awful, esp given the nov really aint that bad. theres a lot that happens, and some interesting stuff, but the promo just is boring. you can tell the promotion budget took a hit when you compare it to the promos of novembers past. its usually their best promo of the year. the show is still much better than it ever was under M&D though.

Members DRW50 Posted October 30, 2012 Members Share Posted October 30, 2012 Will had stopped being bad long before Tomlin came back. He spent the last months of MarDar's tenure making goo goo eyes at EJ and smirking at shadows. The other stories had also been dropped and the returns were all horribly done.

Members Sindacco Posted October 30, 2012 Members Share Posted October 30, 2012 I don't understand this whole MarDar vs Tomlin and Whitesell thing. They are both awful headwriting teams and we shouldn't have to settle for either one of them. This show has been a mess ever since Brash and Cwikly were fired and that was almost 10 years ago.

Members DRW50 Posted October 30, 2012 Members Share Posted October 30, 2012 MarDar were selling themselves more than the story, which always gets a big fan positive reaction. It was always anyone else's fault, and they had these amazing ideas (like Will destroying kitchens and becoming a rageaholic for little apparent reason) which were going to be the best ever, if only they'd had a chance. Poor them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 30, 2012 Members Share Posted October 30, 2012 IA, Sindacco. In fact, this echoes my thoughts on the whole "Guza vs. Carlivati" debaclte over at GH. Saying one awful HW'ing regime is (marginally) better than another, equally awful regime is meaningless, IMO. I'm not settling for MarDar or for Tomsell. I'm settling for a HW who knows what the heck he/she is doing, and a network and production company with the wisdom to get the hell out of the way.

Members darraholic Posted October 30, 2012 Members Share Posted October 30, 2012 Corday did mention in the SOD preview that a big storyline was coming up for Kate. BUT given his stellar past for the truth, I'll believe it when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jjjg Posted October 31, 2012 Members Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hardly, I consider hacking into the the PD, helping EJ escape, sparing with Roman and Lucas over his job, all a lot more interesting than Will's 'Saved By The Bell' like storyline he's got going on this week.

Members DRW50 Posted October 31, 2012 Members Share Posted October 31, 2012 I thought it would have been interesting if he hadn't done the same stuff over and over. I just didn't care about why he loved EJ or why he would give everything for EJ. A relationship that is mostly based on fanfic without any motivation is something that has a short shelf life. Sadly, Saved by the Bell stories were more character-based and believable than anything Will's had on DAYS since about 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beebs Posted October 31, 2012 Members Share Posted October 31, 2012 My main beef with MarDar was they had all the IDEAS for great situations that had potential to turn into great stories...and then they were either wrapped up in 2 weeks, or completely passed by altogether. I'll never forget the first month and a half of MarDar, where John was arrested, and then absolutely NOTHING happened for WEEKS. It was simply the promise of something happening. Eventually, you just stop caring. Unfortunately, TomSell are just not doing anything with any "WOW!" to it. I'd love to see a story where Rafe's incredibly underexplored backstory is brought up (mainly his parents, his childhood, etc.), which would get him OUT of his neverending circling of the drain that is Sami. Have Autumn come to Salem for Lucas and mix it up with Kate. Introduce some new freakin' characters that have some actual meat to their histories so they have something to hook us with. Give Maxine a family, dammit! SOMETHING new to push this show forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted October 31, 2012 Members Share Posted October 31, 2012 I am interested in the Nick/Gabi/Will/Sonny story to be honest, everything else is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted October 31, 2012 Members Share Posted October 31, 2012 Im not sure why they are doing two nov promos this year, theres no reason what was in the second promo couldnt have been in the first. the promo department needs an overhaul and nbc needs to stop forcing them to be uniformed with the network.
