I'm thinking less reliance on p olitics might be a good idea for next season the more I think about it.  While I think it is important to be realistic and reflect the real world, I also think that sometimes they crammed too much into each episode so that nothing got too much focus/development.

 

With that said, I'm hoping for a Halloween episode (those were always the best).. and maybe a Thanksgiving episode (where the fur always flew LOL)

But they haven't really broached politics since the first episode. The fans are making it political, but it really isn't.

 

The first two episodes were great. Episode 3 was meh. But they've hit their stride again with the last few episodes and I hope they keep on this track.

 

I think we'll get a Halloween episode. Roseanne mentioned it first thing when they were renewed for Season 2, and they'll be on in the fall so there's hope! *crossing fingers*

 

I agree they try to cram too much in sometimes but I'd rather see most of the cast than just a few (although I realize you're talking about the topics they deal with and I agree they may be trying to do too much but they only thought they had 9 episodes so I get it, we'll see what they do next season with a few more episodes of breathing room; I think 13 is best. I don't need 22 episodes with half of them being filler episodes).

 

But I think they can find a good balance. I really don't think the show is very political at all. I like it broaching real topics and making us laugh about them and talk about them. We're so worried about offending each other that we don't talk about things we should be talking about. (Just in general, not saying here, of course, lol, but everyone is so quick to be offended or take something the wrong way, etc.)

I hope next season will help fill in the gaps of the last 20 years, such as Andy, Jerry, The Lunchbox, Leon, etc. 

 

Another thing about Crystal which was pretty much forgotten about except for that one episode in season 6 - she is married to Dan's father. I'm assuming Ed died in the last 20 years.

 

I always thought it strange when Dan mentioned "I haven't spoken to my dad in 2 years," at Darlene/David's wedding, when Ed was supposedly living right there in Lanford with Crystal since they got married. 

 

Side note: I wonder how Crystal's son Lonny turned out?

Wanda Sykes' decision probably had nothing to do with Roseanne's comment about Valerie Jarrett.  Nevertheless, I say, good for her!

Oh, really?  Well, then, I stand corrected!

But seriously.  I lost patience with Roseanne's antics a long time ago, so there was no way in Hell I was going to watch the revival.  I'm just glad that her comment finally proves what I've always suspected about the woman, despite her insistence to the contrary.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By janea4old · Posted

      Oh wow. After reading your post, I realized that they had "Carl Ivati" in the script AGAIN yesterday June 6.    Eva said she was reading his latest, and Tomas said "Work's been so busy, I haven't had time to get into his new series". Then Eva proceeds to tell him that "the first book is called 'Mercy and Goodness' and it's all about how the couple first met and how they got separated".   She goes on and on about how great it is. And she says she has the book in her hotel room if he wants to borrow it. She says it has twists and turns. And meanwhile Kat is snooping in Eva's room to look for the helmet and gloves, and finds the book and dismisses it as "basic". I saw that whole scene -- but I wasn't paying attention to the name of the author.  And when Tomas said the name, I heard it in his accent so I didn't hear "carlivati".  II was mainly trying to see if the acting had improved with the actor playing Tomas, and I think he has improved somewhat.   I only see it when typed out. So they had several scenes yesterday about a "Carl Ivati" book?  Barf! Well at least Kat had the good sense to dismiss it as "basic". Ron Carlivati wrote the breakdown yesterday!   Featuring himself in it! Addressing to the collective "you" whoever you may be: Some of you, months ago, said Oh Ron is only doing breakdowns.  The story comes from MVJ, so he won't influence things, you said. May 27 started it, with Christopher Dunn breakdown and Lynn Martin script. But they didn't need to continue it June 6 with Carlivati breakdown and Jazmen Darnell Brown script.

      I was completely lost. But it is wonderful that it exists. I didn't really know Robert Mandan had done soaps...well, besides SOAP.

      Jack and Jennifer are tired. I just don't care about them when they return. They add nothing to the show.

      Did they really bring back Jack and Jennifer for Jack to prop up Leo and Jenn to serve as an obstacle to Chad/Cat? Are we sure Ron still isn't in the building?

      We can only hope that they finally kill off Leo too

      We can only hope that maybe the new writers might read this.

      You can get so many storylines from a Will/Sonny/Paul/Andrew/Dimitri mess And I'm sure Colton would do a great job

      Not to go too off topic but if you ever want to see more of his Search run just look for SFT Summer of 1966 on Youtube.
