The show keeps getting better and better. Just truly marvelous stuff all around. Brown is getting all the Emmys. Totally did not expect Kevin to go through with going to New York. I'm glad Toby made it clear he doesn't usually make all these grand gestures for people he's been on a few dates with. And I really need to know what happened to Jack. Whether he's dead or not, it'll be devastating.

 

And SUPER thrilled about the ratings. You go, THIS IS US!

I didnt read the article but is it a joke? He was just on The Talk yesterday and said it didn't bother or care if he hasn't been in the buff and considering his mom watches the show he didn't think she'd be too pleased to see him....LOL

I just binged episodes 3-17 in the last two days so I could catch up to the season finale this week.  My God, what an emotional show! I normally don't cry or get tears when watching TV shows or movies, but I got tears on two occasions.  The first one was when Kevin left his play to comfort Randall because he knew from that phone call that Randall was having a breakdown.  I have a brother, so that scene hit me hard.  The second one was when Randall comforted Kate during William's funeral.  "I'm so sorry you had to go through this twice, Randall." And then Randall tells Kate about his dream. I've been waiting for a really good Randall/Kate scene all season.

I too was expecting to see Jack die in the finale, but I'm so glad he didn't.  I didn't want to see Jack die in such a negative way (drunk driving) or when he's in a negative place (with Rebecca).  That fight between Jack and Rebecca was really good and I loved how it was all in one shot.  I like how they met - Rebecca ditching her blind date, and Jack forgetting about this blind date.  And it was their meeting that made Jack stop his plan to steal the money and steered him away don't a bad path.  It was his "big break."  I want to see more of their beginning, and I also want to see Randall and Beth's beginning. 

 

I just can't believe a show like this is doing excellent in the ratings.  Usually these type of shows don't do well, ratings wise.

It is a risky move because it will be pre-empted for 6 weeks for Thursday Night Football in November / December and then again for two weeks in February for the Winter Olympics.  NBC is giving it the spot airing after the Super Bowl.   I hope all the pre-emptions don't scare the viewers away.

I don't really care that much about ratings anymore - as long as the show is still good and its ratings are ahead of other NBC shows (which it should be even with this move).  I think when the show ends (hopefully it'll last 6-7 seasons which is perfect for a heavily serialized show), it will go out of its own and not by cancellation.

I think they were seeing the weakened ratings for Scandal and decided it was time to move in on the time slot.

 

Also, I believe it'll only have 18 episode seasons, so this way they can drag their seasons out until May I guess. I personally wouldn't have moved it, but meh...

      RIP Pamela Peters (Peggy Brooks, Y&R)

      Very sorry to hear of her passing. Aside from a few clips I've only ever "known" her through scripts and photos, but she along with the rest of the original cast helped make a show that changed daytime forever. We're still talking about one of her major stories on here to this very day.

      I'll miss him too (still can't believe those were actual publicity photos - Joe Breen must have had a coronary), but he won't be gone forever.  Rauch did well at making people feel they were important (as long as they were willing to play along). That's probably why Erika Slezak loved him (he also gave her better story than he gave Zimmer). I think Kim has a certain amount of self-awareness but also needed to feel like she was the big star and desperately needed by the show. Wheeler was clearly incapable of expressing that.

      Nicole has 2 assistants but no one else gets any staff (that we see). Are Dani and Hayley fixing meals and clearing blocked drains? I think they need to establish that they have some assistance. Vernon and Anita need to have a visible housekeeper. Give the Duprees some help!

      . Her husband posted the following message: "The love of my life. The brightness in my life which is now so dimmer. In April I lost you and I miss you so much and I hope you are at peace. Lost Pam due to things beyond what was going on in her life. The original Peggy Brooks on The Young and the Restless and many more shows and commercials and then the creator of Chocolate Fortunes. So beautiful and a hell of a sense of humor. Great laugh, Great smile and Great compassion. You are my sidekick forever. Will miss you and all your sharp barbs. The angels are with you my beautiful angel. Fly safe and be happy. Much love and kisses forever."

      I grew up in a neighborhood behind the gates and it really wasn't uncommon to have your house unlocked. In my neighborhood there was an armed gate before you enter the neighborhood and you have security patrolling 24/7. One thing that was common when I was in high school were for the kids whose parents were real estate agents to use their houses to throw house parties. It was easy because they were always unlocked.

      I posted this a few weeks ago but it's worth popping up again as Grant does get asked about return rumors, that Paul Rauch had tried to get the show revived for years but P&G just would not sell it.

      If those two crazy (and I do mean crazy!) kids can't make it, where's the hope for the rest of us?!
