Lord. There's Dr. O AGAIN. Just like Kaka. Ugh. I'd approve more of her if she hadn't been treated like a cartoon villainess for months. She's got a beautiful voice though. Damn.

When did the Nurse's Ball become people's places to appeal to others. Like seriously?

And Ron must have loved getting in the joke of mispronouncing Idina Menzel. Yuck.

Really? An Idina Menzel joke months after the fact?

To be fair, that song has been in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 for quite awhile now.

I've managed to avoid it, though.

I thought that line was so f*cking stupid and has nothing to do with story. He just did that to try and garner some press or tweets. Liesl Obrecht doesn't even sound like Idina Menzel. F*cking moron.

Casey Kasem is a LEGENDARY radio DJ. He had a show counting down the top 40 hits of American music called American Top 40 for years. He was also the voice of Shaggy on Scooby Doo.

He retired for good in 2009, and now he's disappeared, and his wife, who his kids don't trust (she's their stepmother) won't say where he is.

Folks, if you've ever struggled with the definition of "camp", Dr. O's earnest, apologetic serenade to her children with a Willie Nelson song is an excellent example.

I read about this earlier today. I hate it for his children. I just hope he's OK.

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.

It is very strange. They have insisted on having 30+ contract players for years now. If they had less cast, they could up everyone's episode guarantees, balance the cast out more. Like 20-25 would be perfect. Have everyone else recur.
If you look back at the history of the show, especially in the 1970s and in the 2010s, whenever the show was at it's most successful, it had smaller casts. Audience relate to the characters more, because they see more of them. In 2009 and 2013, the show had arguable it's most successful periods since the early 2000s (ratings wise that is). They had smaller casts and focused on 3 or 4 stories the whole year. That's what they should be doing at this point. Have a few umbrella stories, that last the whole year, and involve the whole cast. But again, before that, fix who we see on screen cause.....😬

Classic Commercials

I just wanted to add a thread where you can post classic commercials. Ones you like, find interesting, or feature soap actors.
This a quirky one from the early 70's. The actors look familiar. I like how the husband barely pays attention to her rambling about Oversauces.
A childhood holiday classic from 1986 featuring soap actor Greg Wrangler as Peter.
