This one I am not feeling yet, none of the characters really drawing me in, except for Natalie, who is interesting because she's the most real. I only watched the first episode and part of the second, so I'll discuss what I saw.

First off, the neighborhood looks like Wisteria Lane and not even in a subtle way. At least that's what I thought when I saw the opening scene.

The girl getting cheated on is clueless, how does walking into a shed and finding your husband in there with your friend not spark any suspicion? I think the writing there was sloppy, the situation was far too obvious to have the character be so clueless.

Angry, yelling dude is too much. He was at Defcon 10 non-stop, which would be overboard period, but it was really too much for a premiere episode.

Overall, it didn't hold my interest and the first episode felt like it went on forever. This is a clunker so far.

LMAO! Ya'll know he has to wear all the hats on his shows. Aidan comes from a soap background where this is what he did for years so if someone outshined him on this series, I'd be surprised. Well Otis isn't too bad but I loved him on The Temptations but we haven't seen him enough on the show... everyone else is horrible and that includes my girl Zulay. I'm so mad she don't have no damn new locks when this mofo comes willy nilly in that house. That storyline better be handled quick, fast and in a hurry because its very disturbing.

LMAO! I will say their houses look like the renovated projects that I used to live in. All I kept thinking was the colors are ugly as hell, and I love how people say it isn't like DH because they're weren't screaming at the TV then like they do now... what type of sense does that make?

I just saw this and the acting is so bad from all parties. The actor who plays Edward is seriously over the top. This isn't the first time that tv shows have had jealous, bitter ex-husbands, but he's too far over simple bitterness and jealousy. He has a military background so two scenarios seem possible to me: 1.) He's suffering from PTSD. 2.) He's an angry closeted homo who got kicked out of the military back when DADT was in effect.

    • Ok I just bought Kim's book on Amazon... should be an interesting read.
    • Well, I think she's trying to be funny, and it's technically accurate, if misleading. If you leave out the Sonni part it's "Josh left Reva to (go to) Venezuela shortly before Reva had her miscarriage because of Vanessa." I guess "Josh left Reva after finding out the child she was carrying was his father's, and miscarried because of her drugged out step-daughter-in-law, where he met a woman with split personality..." isn't as "snappy".
    • Thanks for the info. Timm was a model for years, so one could speculate he may have done something like nudity etc... that violated CBN's moral clause. He was good in the role. He had an awesome mop of 80's blow dried hair that would rival Ted McGinley.....LOL
    • Before I met Reva, I really did enjoy Josh and Annie. The beginning of their relationship was really cute, the flirting and chemistry was there. I was fully into it, but then I learned who Jeva was and realized it couldn't sustain. I just read a few interviews that Kim gave online, and it's pretty clear she loves her wine, which I love. I'm a wine guy too, so I'm not surprised she had to have a little here and there to get through some things.
    • Opinion polls conducted by soap podcasters are not the same as "soap opera award shows".
    • Unfortunately, that period of the show would likely just put you to sleep. A part of me agrees, as I do think Robert is a good actor (better than I gave him credit for at the time), but I'm not sure, aside from Harley, how much he ever clicked with other ladies. He did have some spark with Crystal Chappell. I know there were claims they didn't get along either, although I remember reading somewhere (I think) a story about how Michelle was panicking when they had to film the rope ladder scenes in Venezuela, and Kim had to help her through...and Kim had also had a bit to drink.  (I hope I have the details right)
    • Does anyone have January 6, 1999 (2958) in english?

    • Thanks for this. I probably remember Empty Nest more fondly than a lot of folks, even in our age group. I remember mainly watching the later seasons whenever I was home on Sat nights simply because Sophia was added to the cast, even though the show seriously lost its momentum after Kristy McNichol left. Always surprised how long NBC just let it run and disappointed on how it became lost/forgotten over time. A few years back once was discussing old tv shows with some folks and they brought how they remembered Kristy McNichol in Family, but none of them remembered Empty Nest until I pushed pertinent details on them.    Fun fact, Grace Zabriskie, best known for her  work on Twin Peaks, appeared in both the series premiere and series finale. (BTW @kalbir I’ve come across some very interesting 1995-96 weekly ratings & commentary look out for them in the next couple days in the 90’s ratings thread!) The 1980-81 season was NBC’S nadir for everything wasn’t it? Primetime was a disaster, daytime was in the toilet, News & Today show were forgotten about, SNL nearly on its last ropes etc. think Johnny Carson was the one thing pushing NBC through and even his show went from 90 mins to 60 mins. Glad they did give Hill Street Blues a Chance though.  Strange CBS Friday nights the Incredible Hulk was only at #46 leading into the #3 and #1 shows. Benson didn’t look too great either. The 8:00/7:00 Fri night slot really was cursed for the duration of the 80’s and 90’s wasn’t it, save for Full House? NBC wouldn’t have a successful newsmagazine until Dateline in what 1991, 1992? Funny though as of 2025 only the original recipe 60 Minutes still does well, as its competitors 20/20, Dateline, Primetime Live or companion shows like 48 Hours are either dead or useless junk to fill out a schedule.
