I love this show! They filmed it in my dad's hometown and a few family members were extras.

I used to think Bubba was so fine! :lol:

I will watch this.

I thank the Good Lord every day that they made "Every Man's Family." Otherwise, I still would have been confused about my sexuality.

ICAM, Chit, about the addition of Carl Weathers to the show. I get what Carroll O'Connor was attempting to do, but I think he chose the wrong actor to do it. Perhaps he should have skewed a bit older and hired John Amos? Maybe he could have played a retired cop who is called back into service to run the Gillespie-less Sparta P.D.? I don't know.

Regardless, I think O'Connor and his team recognized immediately they had made a mistake. That's why Weathers seems to be on less and less as episodes progress. Of course, that meant others had to pick up the slack, and you KNOW you are in trouble when you build a whole episode around Parker Williams.

What is this? Never seen/heard of it.

But that Bubba fellow (back then) was yummy. Not sure about seeing him shirtless all the time now....

It really captured the post civil rights era south, it didn't go over the top with the racism element, but it was very clearly expressed and I liked how Gillespe was shown to still be battling his own racial demons, to some extent.

As far a reboot goes, I would hope that they could capture that same sort of vibe, but from a modern perspective.

If they don't include him somehow in the reboot, they will surely fail. Bubba doesn't still have to be on the force. He could be retired, let's say, and running the Mason Dixieline, which has become a sort of "cop bar" in the years since he took it over. Or he could be the mayor of Sparta, in a nod to AA's real-life political career. Or he could just hang outside the courthouse all day in nothing but a pair of jeans and a hat. He just has to be there. :lol:

Yeah, you're probably right, lol.

But isn't it nice to dream?

A television show based on the film of same name (Academy Award Best Picture winner) starring Sidney Poitier. Basically about a black detective moving back to his Mississippi hometown being the lead detective in a newly integrated police department.

ETA: Luke Everett from the later years could have gotten it too. ^_^

lol In our dreams, he can still look just as hot!

Thanks!

It sounds very interesting. Was it serialized, or case of the week?

Jesus.

I might just have to find a way to watch this.

    • Sami's Three Stooges stole the show today

      I enjoyed their individual scenes with other characters before they all came together at the Pub to commiserate over their relationships with Sami. I thought that was broken down pretty well. I just wish it had gone on a little longer. And I actually found it kinda funny too lol it seemed more mature than what we're used to. That's the kind of humor that should be on a soap. But I'm not really sure about all this talk of Dante Vitali and Sami's engagement though, especially since it doesn't look like Ali Sweeney is coming back anytime soon. What's the point of it all if we're (probably) not going to see it? It also looked like today was the first round of Brady vs. Xander as well lol I enjoyed their fight, and I'm interested in seeing this storyline play out. Even though I'm sure that Sarah will ultimately go back to Xander in the end, I'd like to see what happens along the way, and how they and everyone around them are affected by this. Btw, Theo and Jada? Idk. I still think he had the most chemistry with Arianna. And he was a bit of a dick too. It also seemed a little out of character for Jada to be so OK with him being such a dick  And though Alex and Stephanie were very boring again and need much better conflict than this book stuff, I am interested in the mystery of who's targeting Alex.  And yeah, I know this is a nitpick, but why is the Square still open after the gala? Isn't it supposed to be really late at night? 
    • In fairness, Hillary and Bob Woods were thick as thieves again at least by the end of OLTL. But both she and I believe Mark Derwin not so subtly dissed Kale Browne in the oral history, lol.

    • Frat Boy Jr.'s reaction to seeing Luna was just awful acting. It was so bad that I started laughing.

      Does anyone have screenshots of it?
    • Geez, I hadn't heard that Doctors story. HBS really did go through it. 
    • No offense to the actors involved, but dear God in heaven: I don't know HOW viewers managed to get through that storyline with Maggie, Frank, Cal and baby Jill without running into oncoming traffic.  Then, to make matters worse, they dragged poor Diana into the mess!  I don't care WHO gets that damn baby!  Just wrap it up and move ON already!
    • Poor HBS.  To have to put up with Stephen Burleigh, who stuck his knee between her legs while rehearsing a love scene on THE DOCTORS, then told the director that's what he did with his wife; Kincaid, who had more hair on his chest and upper lip than Koko the Gorilla; Kale Browne, who taped his lines all over the OLTL studio floor, because he couldn't ever be bothered to [!@#$%^&*] memorize them; and Robert S. Woods, who apparently thought it was still 1979 and that he was still smolderingly sexy, so why should Bo Buchanan be stuck being in a happy marriage with Nora?  After all that, no wonder she jumped at the chance to play a lesbian on VENICE, lol.
    • @Maxim Thank you for the mini-review and clip from several pages ago. I appreciate you using the Bo/Alex clip as them meeting again by this point was a real surprise to me. The scene has some layers, getting a glimpse of Alex genuinely wanting the best for Bo rather than gloating. I was disappointed it ended with Tina dragging her out of the room for some much less interesting sparring (I did enjoy Alex pointing out just how quickly Tina got over Cord).
