I'm sorry, but that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard anybody say in regards to soaps in my entire life.

Oh yes, I'm so jealous of DAYS. I wish my soap could have days that lasted two months and repetitive storylines featuring the exact same characters and actors and I wish my soap would have crappy techno background music! And I REALLY wish my soap would be in negotiations for cancellation every so often. That seems fun!

No, thank you. I'm fine with AMC's and ATWT's online popularity. And besides, I don't need message boards and chatrooms full of kewl tEEnagd grlz to like my show in order for me to like it.

And besides, who cares? I can find more than enough ATWT and AMC information whenever I look for it anyway.

You can't get so upset over someone's opinion. You can hear in just one episode that Days has some cartoonish dialogue and over the top acting. Am I supposed to believe that the dialogue is cartoonish one day and sharp ,intelligent, and realistic the next??

Now some people may like Days the way its...good for them. I however don't and I don't need to watch a show for 30 years to know what I don't like.

We might as well give it up Keith and King. We are so dumb that we cannot even tell what a good soap opera is. Why I can't believe it took someone like PJA to come along and watch our show a few times to tell us that it is cartoonish and has bad over the top acting. I am just so glad I have been enlightened by this great piece of soap opera knowledge.

Yes Claude we all do, but for the most part that bashing is done to our own show or to a show that we have watched more than a few times.

I abhor bashing when people have not seen the show and just do it because everyone else is doing it or it is what they have heard. And I don't like it when someone watches a show a few times and then bashes a show.

I have only seen Passions 3 times in the whole time it has been on the air. I personally did not like the show, but there is no way I would ever come on a message board and put the show down.

For a person to do that is very irresponsible and is not fair to the fans of the show or the show itself.

That is the type of bashing that is going on here today. A person comes on here and bashes a show he/she has only seen a few time.

It is ridiculous and only serves to anger the fans, hurt the show, and make the poster look very immature.

I did not get to see Monday's episode, but did want to comment on the Wednesday shows. I think Wheeler hit on something here, they seem to be very popular. I did not get to see any of GL last week due to scheduling conflicts, but heard it was pretty good last week and esp. Wednesday was good.

I did a recap of last Monday's show (I must have short-term memory or something)..but it all came back to me after reading the CBS recap:

- Harley asks if she can go back to the force and be Mallet's partner

- Josh threatens to tell Cassie about how Jeffrey slept with her while posing as Richard. Later, Josh tells Reva that he's sick of being the good guy

- Billy kisses Reva and gets a "Billy Lewis!! Do you wanna get slapped???" reaction from Reva. :lol:

- Jeffrey tells Cassie the truth

- Tammy decides that she and Jonathan will live at Outskirts

This was a really good show..I wasn't too fond with the Harley/Mallet/Dinah/Frank scenes the show focused on moving plots along, relationships (ie. Billy/Reva, Cassie/Tammy), and characters (ie. Josh being sick of being the good guy).

This is just funny. I am allowed to have an opinion. You don't have to like it. This is a message board where people are allowed to post their opinions about a show regardless of how many times they have watched it and for you to say otherwise is what's unfair.

If you will look back at my post I did not say you did not have a right to post your opinion. YOu know what they say about opinions - they are like a certain body part - we all have them.

What I did say was that it is irresponsible to post an opinion about a show that you have only watched a few times. Having the right to do something and doing it does not make it a wise thing to do many times. Just be aware that sometimes if we are going to step into the fire we have to accept the heat. We all have our rights but we have to accept the consequences of our actions in exercising those rights many times.

The posts you have made today and yesterday are the first posts you have even made on this board. By making your firsts posts on this message board about bashing a soap that you don't even watch regular, you have angered other posters and made yourself look very bad. I for one would not ever respect or take to heart anything you say again even if it is about the soaps that you watch regularly.

True.... but opinions should always be valid... I agree with everyone else... you are making a rather unfair judgement of something you never watch (one episode does not a soap make) that would be like me saying some random person I walked by on the street was an awful bad person... LOL without even talking to them or knowing who they are... allowed to have opinions? Yes but they should always be valid.

It doesnt matter how long u have watched a show. I watched Passions for 2 straight years when it premiered. I quit after that..because it was outrageous and too cartoonish and crazy for my liking. Out of the whole cast...there were only 4 that really stood out for me. This show has poor actors and actresses..plain and simple. As for Days...i have watched it on and off here and there. I used to watch it all the time back in the 80s. Nowadays....i find it cheesy and lacks awesome acting!! Out of the cast..there are maybe 4 or 5 terrific performers. I find Days fake and cheesy..just like Passions!! This is nothing new for me ..i have said it a few times!! Why do u think the Days and Passions cast rarely get acting noms?

    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.  
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 Loved her. I've never seen her Doctors work. 
    • Valerie Mahaffey Dead: ‘Northern Exposure,’ ‘Dead to Me’ Actress Was 71 I just loved Valerie on my early '90s TV shows. This one gets me. 
    • I assume they did at some point during the finale...
    • Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.
    • I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.
    • So, on rewatch....did Rick and Mindy never have sex? 
    • Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.
    • Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!
