Does anyone remember Sisters from 1991-1996 with Sela Ward and Swoosie Kurtz? it was on Saturday nights. I thought that show has a terrific ending. The sister Georgie wrote a a truthful book about all the sisters and then the mother had a stroke and died. then she had a crazy will that at first tore the sisters apart but then brought them all back together. Sela as Teddy had the best line when she said, "You know we won't all be here next Saturday." and then they all spread their mother's ashes on the roses she grew for each of them.

Facts of life has a so-so ending. it should have been called "the best and worst of times" They had good endings for the girls with Blair buying the school, Jo's husband returning, Tootie being accepted to london and Natalie moving out but then they focussed too much on Blair buying the old eastland because it was suposed to be a spin-off. but it never happend so the show ended like that.

I thought Sisters lost its way after a few seasons (the false memories implanted in Georgie to make her think her father had molested her was the last straw for me), but I did come back for the ending, and I agree it was good.

Oh, and say what you will about the final episode of LHOTP, but that final scene...the townsfolk singing Onward Christian Soldiers as they march through the destroyed town to their wagons, the singing leading into that old familiar Little House underscore, the wagons passing in front of the little house as it still stands...the music swelling...even the random ass bunnies...just perfection. I tear up just thinking about it. When I watch a finale, I want to cry my draws off. Of course, it would have been miles better if they'd gotten more cast members back. The Ingallses, followed by the Olesons, the Edwardses, the Garveys, etc. All linked arms and leaving Walnut Grove? Yall, I would STILL be dead.

Alice had Mel closing down the diner and each of the waitresses going on their way with a hefty bonus from Mel. Charlie's Angels had Kelly shot in the line of duty and hanging between life and death, with flashbacks and what-not. It would have been nice if Farrah and Kate had come back, but it was solid. Of course, it ends with a very brief glimpse of Charlie in surgical scrubs, implying that he'd helped operate on Kelly in the hospital.

Honestly, all I need for a good finale is a nice shot of the whole cast together and an over-the-top arrangement of the theme song, and I'm all tears.

      Y&R/B&B/GL Vault Updates

      By BoldRestless · Posted

        It's working fine now.

      Please register in order to view this content

        Question for the B&B group: I see @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded multiple seasons from Videoland  (in the folders that are to be put away). They are huge folders and difficult to download so I started breaking them down into months but I realized they are by season so for example, Season 4 spans from March 1990 to March 1991. Now I'm wondering where to actually place them, since we have the Full Episodes section divided by year, not seasons. And most of these seasons we already have in full, so these are duplicates. Not sure if it's necessary to keep the older versions. I could just make another new section for Seasons, so the main folders would be "Behind the Scenes and Interviews," "Clips," "Full Episodes," "Full Seasons," "Music CDs," and "photo archive Marquise" but I'm not sure that really makes sense. Also wondering since we have almost every full episode now if "Clips" can be deleted in its entirety, as it's nearly 300GB.

      CBS moving Murder, She Wrote from Sunday to Thursday was straight up sabotage. Les Moonves knew exactly what he was doing.

      I sure hope you’re right. The lack of sets is maddening!

      I'm hoping that the new studio might have more space, meaning extra sets could be permanently erected. Perhaps the current  set issues are due to limited space available at Television City as it shuts down for the redevelopment. But if more space means spending more $$$ we might be stuck with the current situation no matter where they move.

      Thanks @P.J. If my math is correct, Jordan Clarke runs were 1983-1987, 1989-1993, 1997-end.

      Knots Landing

      By Vee · Posted

      I was/am mainlining both the Dream Season and Season 7 of KL together, since that was the year of their big creative swap. That's the most I can take of Dallas consecutively. But I've been very preoccupied with other shows and work IRL and I need to get back to it after a long break from my Knots binge.

      Wk 1 95/96 MSW moves to Thurs, Cybill takes the Sunday slot. Thurs 8-9pm NBC Friends #3 20.5/33 The Single Guy #6 19.2/30 CBS Murder She Wrote #55 9.3/15 ABC Charlie Grace #74 7.6/12 FOX Living Single # 78 7.2/12 The Crew #80 7.0/11 Sunday 8-9pm NBC Mad about You # 15 14.6/23 Hope & Gloria #35 11.7/18 ABC Lois & Clark # 38 11.4/18 CBS Cybill #49 9.8/15 Almost Perfect #65 8.1/12 FOX Space Above & Beyond (2nd hr of 2hr episode) #51 9.5/15 60 Minutes was #19 so a lot of viewers didn't stay for Cybill. On Sunday, Sept. 24, CBS finished third on the night, and its performance among 18 -49 year olds was worse than it was with the older skewing Murder, She Wrote in the time period last year.  So moving MSW was a foolish move at that point. It was compatible with 60 Minutes and would probably have finished Top 20-25 for the week. They should have left Sunday alone and concentrated on other nights..

      I’ve been watching Knots and FC rather compulsively for a while now. Currently in fall 1983 with both. I had Dallas in there, too, but I am rather shocked at how stale that show gets after Jock’s death. Meanwhile, I can spend hours in the vineyards and in the cul-de-sac.

      What will actually change though? Does this mean the sets will be different too? Or how exactly is this gonna look like to the viewers?

      I'm not sure Passions is the model to emulate here.
