Why do they do Michelle like that? I hate how people shade and diminish poor Michelle. Why do they have to refer to her as a Beyonce fan? She's Beyonce's equal. Hell, Michelle is part of the reason why Destiny's Child went on to flourish [instead of flopping] and becoming a powerhouse She is equally talented as all the other Destiny Child members. Her niche was always stronger in the soul/gospel arena. Yes, she may not be able to cut a rug like Bey, but she can sure as hell go toe to toe in the singing arena.

Besides that, I love how she stuck up for her friend and it was a joy to see Mike Huckabee recant and somewhat cower.

That's one thing I can say about Beyonce, Michelle, Kelly, and even LeToya and LaTavia to a lesser extent. They may have had their issues in the past but they will not allow you to dog any DC members.

Lol.... Taking my love for Bey out of the equation they would have been fine without Michelle. They were already hyping up Bey's solo career after Letoya and Latavia got kicked out. Bey was going to smash regardless.

Michelle can SANG! Go listen to her numerous gospel singles. Again, she might not have been the best dancer but she can sure as hell sing ... unlike 95% of the music industry nowadays. And she can give Bey a run in the singing department.

I like Bey but she ain't the end all be all. She's just lucky that she's that one artist that happens to be the total package of this generation, so everyone clings to her and places her on a pedestal.

Maybe but Michelle did help them maintain success. Betcha if you asked Bey, she'd agree. DC didn't hit their peak till the Survivor era, which Michelle contributed to.

And Beyonce would've flopped had she went solo after Letoya & Latavia left. Whitney & Mariah still had the game on lock as the Queen Bee soloists at the time, and it was all about Britney and Christina at the time. Beyonce would've floundered. She would've been like a Janelle Monae or Ledisi of that period--extremely talented but lost in the storm.

Mariah and Whitney? Survivor was released in 2001. Hypothetically if Bey had released her first solo album that year that was the year Mariah flopped with Glitter and a rail thin Whitney performed at MJ's 30th Annoversary concert. They were not a legitimate threat and Bey is not a pop girl. Britney and Christina were in their own lane. LOL I hope I'm not coming across as a delusional fan because I actually do agree that Michelle doesn't deserve most of the shade she gets. I'm sure she's unbothered as she is a millionaire and so is Kelly. I would laugh at it if I were them tbh.

I don't even like Beyonce like that. But Michelle cannot sing anywhere near as well as Bey. I've listened to her music, and I am always astounded by how terrible she sounds. She is damn lucky she landed in Destiny's Child. That's all there is to it.

Survivor came out in '01? So thought it was '00, so I stand corrected on that. But still, Whitney and Mariah had a draw to them. And had Glitter not came out like it did, I think it would've did decent numbers. Hell, Glitter happens to be one of my fave Mariah albums. But I digress.

But I do believe that Brit and Christina would've still overshadowed Beyonce had she came out in '00. A one to two year difference played a huge part in Beyonce's success and her being smart. I seriously think that she knew it was smart to stick with DC awhile longer.

And thank you for agreeing that Michelle does not deserve the shade she gets.

To each his/her own. I actually enjoy Michelle's singing abilities. Her parts in the DC songs tend to be my favorite. Can't nobody tear a bridge up like Michelle IMO.

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
