AMC: The Prospect Park Era (old production thread)

Okay, wait a minute.

  1. That is a ludicrously over-the-top and downright offensive comparison, far more over-the-top and offensive than anything in what was maybe a 2-minute online skit promoting the shows in a playful manner.
  2. They've done reams upon reams of serious-minded promotion for these shows, both TV spots and online, as well as a number of press calls, photo shoots and PR events which at the very least outdo anything I've seen the network soaps do for their people in years. They've shown actual pride in the product, even if the product isn't necessarily note-perfect or to everyone's taste.

If the company doesn't want to acknowledge them as legitimate continuing dramas, then what exactly would you call all of that effort? Or the fact that they've actually gone out of their way to ask them to be seen as literally "continuing dramas," end quote, in all of the promotion with the actors and the production? Is all that work - again, whether or not it is in the promotion of a product that you or I may or may not like - really null and void because you either don't like the shows or don't like one comedy skit? Is it really comparable to Westboro Baptist Church and treating soap operas like shunned gay lepers? Really? Or is it just possible that you're being incredibly melodramatic?

I've seen what it looks like when soap operas are ghettoized and treated like last month's garbage in terms of promotion, and so have you. We all have. Whether or not you or I like the shows or agree on the content, I thought we could at least agree this ain't it. Or at the very least, we could avoid comparing it to motherfucking hate speech. Please. For the sake of what is left of my sanity.

After the big old mess that was their last show I can't even be bothered (WHere they went on about how superior the web shows like Venice were, and the woman who didn't even watch them got all upset when she found out there was swearing, even though Venice has swearing...)

    • Yeah I don't think he had to prerecord his scenes for the Nurses Ball, unless there was some acoustical/technical situation the show needed.
    • I wish Biden a speedy recovery for him. 
    • Thanks. Just watched him perform "Smooth Criminal" at a Lakers game. OH.  MY.  GOD.
    • Because this is the same show where you can kill a federal agent and the FBI just shrugs their shoulders.
    • Giovanni Mazza has a lot of videos of him dancing/moving while playing the violin https://www.youtube.com/@GiovanniMazzaViolin/
    • I'm all in for another Gio performance. I assume his violin work was pre-recorded, but not only didn't I mind, he made it look live. Plus, wardrobe did him a solid -- he looked commanding and sexy -- and those moves around the stage were fire. If I sound like I'm in love with GM, you heard me right hehe
    • -- I was in my SUV and decided to listen to B&B today (I pulled my DVR downloads up on my phone) instead of watching it.     The dialogue is even worse when you go audio only. -- Hearing Brooke tell Ridge (in front of Katie) that he's her destiny makes her sound like a frickin lunatic. I mean, this is someone who should be put in a straitjacket. Of course, Katie agreed, and when Brooke left the room, she told Ridge that he and Katie belong together and always will. These people are certifiable. -- Liam's dialogue? Absolutely nothing special about it, which makes Scott Clifton's "performance" of those lines even worse. He delivers every line as if it's THE most important line in the Best Picture Oscar winner. Just awful.  
    • Not a clue whatsoever. I’m not even sure if Patrick Mulcahey knew lol  Hopefully, we’ll see him do another one

      Like for a concert at PCU or something 
    • I felt the same way. Joss is insufferable -- self-righteous, sanctimonious, and entitled. I wanted Willow to knock her out. Do these writers know they're creating sympathy for Willow and Drew when they use characters we actively hate to answer them? The Gio performance was THE hottest violin performance I have ever seen. Great song choice with sexy, spectacular moves. I mean, WOW. That was soooo good. -- The "Holiday" performance with the medical workers all in scrubs was cheesy, but good. It was just professional enough to pass but not so good it looked like everyone was a hired dancer. And Isaiah can get it any time. -- Spinelli doing "These Boots are Made for Walking" was cringe. The excuse that he subbed for Tracy wasn't enough to make that watchable. Yes, he can carry a tune, but he's no singer and has no idea how to make lyrics work. In addition, his moves were like someone who never moved before. Hate to be a downer on this, but he was awful.  
    • Looks like Thursday May 15 through Wed. May 21 (episodes 53-57) are all one "Fairmont day".  Still the same day as debut of nuTed.  Today Wednesday ends with everyone going to sleep, so I assume tomorrow Thurs. May 22 will be a new day. Edit to add: I guess I might watch all five episodes in a row, and hopefully the Ashley/Derek nonsense and the Joey nonsense -- will feel less annoying to me if it's only part of the long Fairmont day.  I will focus instead on Ted, Eva, Laura, Kat, Jacob, Leslie, Chelsea, and Doug/Vanessa.
