Ha! LOST! WOW. Happy Anniversary to the show, my best friend showed me the first episode since he was OBSESSED w/ Lost, and I thought I would never watch the show (Well I did I just didn't know when!) and BAM, LOVED IT.

24 and Alias -- ONE OF MY TOP 2 All Time Favorites - I was like 6 or 7, these shows were starting their third seasons around 2003-2004ish and I LOVED action movies at the time! I always knew about it since my mom was in love with these 2 hot shows! I was a kid so I didn't know what to think of it other than I found it cute my mom had a bond with a show as I had w/ Spongebob and mostly Nickelodeon/Disney in general! Also I would record the episodes in case she missed it b/c I was an awesome technical son smile.pngsmile.png But when I was 8, It only took me to see Jack Bauer shoot a terrorist in the leg in the Season 4 premiere? That's when I got hooked EVER SINCE! And have watched week in, week out, including the A&E re-runs that re-ran Season 1-3 smile.png and later bought the first season on DVD later that year. LOL 24 was my childhood!

Followed by, I always saw Alias re-runs, thought Jennifer Garner was a cutie, saw Alias in the DVD store, so I started probably tuning into it around 8 or 9. Don't really remember much. But I just always had a love for it! I re-watched it all earlier this year and OMG. I still miss it, so sad watching the series finale! (I still need JJ Abrams to answer what was RAMBALDI'S ENDGAME MYSTERY!) and re-watch it! SPYFAM, THOSE INSANE PLOT TWISTS!, Sydney/Vaughn!, SARK! BRADLEY COOPER--WILL! Their Cliffhangers most importantly the Season 2 ENDER still BLOWS ME AWAY! I'm still like WTF!?! TV just doesn't get better that that!

AHH. 24 and Alias just BLOWS your brains out! and for its TIME!?! You can't say there was many shows packing incredible twisty moments into their story! I still hope one day, my Jennifer Garner and Michael Vartan will team up and Alias 2.0 will be born!

SCANDAL - Another ALL-TIME FAVORITE! 2012 had a lot of Great Shows, which taught me to be tv-savvy, be a super (geek) fan, and keep a really open-mind while being entertained by characters and plots for 42 minutes. I was really into Ringer. REVENGE, Missing (Spy series w/ Ashley Judd) that year and GH had a resurgence so I was really starting to like ABC lineup of shows. However I think I didn't understand the Scandal promos as it was like a 30 second of whiplash its why I'm like oh great a show set in D.C w/ sex scandal not tuning into that, however it was JUST THAT. Power, Control. Scandalous Acts, Manipulations. You got the powerful lead that's almost like Superwoman, the villains, the quirky team-squad, and the broken people that need saving and Politics. And your Olivia Pope, Political Drama/Thriller was born! I saw ABC put up the episodes earlier and I LOVED the first 2 episodes, it was fresh, exciting, something new, had an incredible vibe, and based on a real person's career. So the idea of Olivia being this powerful fixer w/ her past haunting her was incredible. Its like D.C in the political arena w/ hungry bloody monsters/tyrants/gladiators who will tear each other to the bone. The show was better than I thought when viewing week after week! I was shocked when Amanda Tanner got killed off! Wasn't surprised by Cyrus going all villan-y because the show needed that and to embrace that! And that I loved, and Have been the ultimate fan of this show since the beginning and week after week! GLADIATOR HERE! I still embrace that this show values storytelling, (Season 3 saw a slight slip in the development of the characters but I'll let that one slip as I still loved it) and values some mind-boggling, masterful scenes, twists, story points, character development, cliffhangers, and more. While some shows try to top itself, or others or goes through identity crisis, Scandal just goes with the flow.

The show would suffer whenever they got away from Locke. Whenever it was a Locke episode you knew major story was happening. When they decided to do a Kate episode, nothing of importance would happen. The thing that was disappointing was how they immediately wrote Walt out. I remember them saying it was because the kid grew in height way too much way too soon and there was no way to deal with it, but it seems clear from the first season they had plans for Walt and for whatshername's baby that just never materialized.

    • Someone has been posted episodes from 1994 and Jill Powell (Marcy Lafferty) has a hot storyline right now. Just googled her and in real-life she is now openly out as a Lesbian with a transgender son. 
    • Did anyone else notice that DAYS has not been in the Top 10 most streamed shows on Peacock this week??? I find that very strange considering how good the show has been, especially this week.
    • Cast changes in 2025 (so far, not much has happened): GZSZ Pauline Afaja (Flo Kästner) departed on March 10th, 2025. She had only been on the show for about a year. Flo as a character never really clicked with the audience. Her final storyline involved her catching feelings for the much older Nina Reichelt Klee Ahrens Navarro out of the blue – while she was in a relationship with the wheelchair-bound Jonas Seefeld. Onno Buß joined the cast as Julian Kaltenbach on January 31st, 2025. Julian is Matilda's twin brother ... and another illegitimate child of Jo Gerner. Charlott Reschke, who had played Johanna Flemming on a recurring basis from 2015 to 2024, returned at the end of May. The 20-year old actress has now been placed on contract. Last week on GZSZ:

    • GH on Hulu, their Top 15 list, now for the second consecutive day ... #1.
    • From PKWaddle, ex-soap journo & fan & one known only to give good intel, in a post on my FB soap group: #1 Peacock shows 10 of the past 12 weeks DAYS in their TOP 3. #2 DAYS is now more ahead, currently at 10 months & 1 week.
    • Just a little nod, Today would've been Bill Hayes 100th Birthday! He was almost the first Centenarian On A Soap
    • Kevin Kline's description of soap fans makes me laugh.

    • Not to ramble too far off topic but it happens a lot with comics too, especially only wanting to keep cheap talent around and pushing out creative voices. There are some patches where creatives can go to start their own worlds...wish that was true with soaps, but who knows, maybe it can happen someday. I never thought we'd get a new soap this year.
    • Very true & also at least in the case of stand-out HWs, it is fraught with exhaustion & burnout.
    • Plus we are never going to have a Shonda Rhimes, a Dick Wolf, or a Chuck Lorre of daytime -- a single brilliant person who could come in and change the genre -- because Shonda, Dick, or Chuck would only be able to work on one soap opera at a time, not three or four at the same time as they do in primetime.  As long as TPTB insist on the 60-minute format, we will never have another super influential individual like Phillips, Nixon, or Bell.  They simply would never have time to do more than one soap opera at a time and that would stifle their influence overall. Thanks. So maybe this is happening to some degree in other entertainment genres.  I don't keep up with the particular franchises you mentioned, so I was unaware.  I appreciate your perspective.
