I agree. I absolutely believe that Cosby is guilty as sin, but at the same time, it IS possible, with a number this big, to find someone who might be making their story up. Nonetheless, I believe the majority, if not all, of the women who have come forward are telling the truth.

As for Captain Ozarks... I have a lot of family from that part of Arkansas and grew up in a rural part of Maryland, so I'm often very sensitive to people assuming that everyone from those sort of areas are braindead hillbillies or rednecks (I certainly don't see myself that way!), but I know what you're saying here. :)

Oh man. That's pretty much shoving his foot all the way up Bill's ass. He loves being Doctor Cosby. I have to admit that as much as some people hate "losing" Cliff Huxtable, for me it's more painful to lose Fat Albert Cosby. That show was the first time I saw my skin in cartoons.

But I'm sure that Simon is just a "slut" who is angry that his career didn't take off just like all of Cosby's other accusers.

I think the idea is that if these women are "exposed," the public will see it as he said/she said, or believe they're money-grubbers or liars out to get Bill Cosby. It may also keep women from coming forward.

I think it's just cheap and desperate and tacky, but then again, the media does eat that type of "story" up.

This is what his team tried to do with Beverly Johnson.

This is what they see as a win, I guess. The problem is more people heard about her story through Today than will ever have heard any of this about what her ex did or didn't say.

    • I strongly suspect the same. Happens often.
    • Beth #1 being recast right before she and Eric come face to face was jarring.  We spent the first 50 episodes or so getting to know Beth and see her rapport with her kids, co worker, and even her mother in law. Her Beth seemed content with her kids and job as caterer, but you could tell she also had a faraway look that you just knew meant that she dreamed of what life would have been like had she and Eric gotten together.   Plus, she came across as someone that you could see eventually moving into more wealthy circles based on her demeanor.   Seeing Beth always looking off into space probably helped fuel Brooke's dreams of wealth because she saw how unfulfilled her mother was.  Once Beth was recast starting in episode 52, that whole vibe completely changed and Beth #2 seemed to almost like living the middle class life.. and that her Beth would feel ill at ease around wealth, etc.
    • I agree.  I've always chalked it up to the fact that DALLAS had been a pop culture phenomenon for many years and that viewers, including viewers who'd stop watching years before, were tuning in one last time to say goodbye. Also agree that it was interesting to see KL finish 27th for the week.  Any show doing that well after 12 seasons is a miracle, lol.
    • I don't know anything BTS, but your theory seems reasonable.
    • In comparison to Maurice Johnson, sure, but he's still... stiff AF. "Leaps and bounds" is a strong exaggeration as well. Watching him is like watching paint dry. I'd recast him next, ASAP.
    • Yes! Andre easily could have just been a hunk with no real depth (like Derek) but his character is rounding out very nicely.
    • They're contract; anyone in the opening is a contract player.
    • I was watching an episode last night and noticed that Pictionary is taped in Atlanta. It's just a walk for Chandler to the studios.

    • my vote goes to Eden (Belle)! She single handed carried that show on her back !! Best family will probably be The Dingles! I have to say 2024-2025 was a mixed bag on all of them soaps ! But if I had to say which one would be the best I would give it to Emmerdale for Belle/Tom’s storyarc. It went on for too long but at least was written properly compared to others. But I do think Corrie will win best soap for Mason’s storyline  Best storyline… I wish it would be Belle and tom but the abuse story from Hollyoaks will take that 100%
