I assumed it was just my browser or something. Ordinarily I use Firefox but with SON, I use Chrome. Perhaps my settings are doing this but it's just your tweets that I am seeing like this, so I wondered whether you were copying and pasting the entire tweets.

But you're using the Embed function? Do you use the Source feature?

You should probably ask if anyone else has this issue. Perhaps it's just my settings in Chrome.

I also use the mobile site, so that could be the issue. This site can be... temperamental on phones.

 

By the way, Morgan Spurlock has posted a statement in which he admits his own problematic behavior.

This has not been a good past few weeks for PBS. First Charlie Rose, now Tavis Smiley? Yikes. 😨

 

If these allegations are true, this guy was a coward right to the end:

FWIW, PBS didn't produce Smiley's show, they distributed it. Because he produces his own show, technically he could try to bring it somewhere else, though I don't know who would want to distribute his show at this point since he's practically radioactive now.

 

Johnson's suicide note was posted on social media. I read it and came away with the impression that it was written by someone with a very messed up mind.

What a mess. No wonder NBC is where they are. They must have more skeletons if they are keeping the investigation internal and not hiring independent counsel. 😠😠😠😠😠

Now, I could have told them this. I don't watch the morning talk shows, but my folks stopped watching TODAY after Ann Curry was forced out, switched to GMA, and that's where they've stayed.

I'm not questioning the decision by PBS to cut Rose and Smiley loose, at all. It was the correct decision.

What I'm questioning are the people who blame PBS for being an incubator of sexual deviance.  

Both men produced their own shows. PBS acted as the distributor.

 

Rose moved out of the PBS flagship headquarters well over a decade ago. In fact, he moved his personal office out of the Bloomberg building where the show had moved, to his house, which is why he had so much time and space to harass his assistants. By that time, he'd pretty much fired almost all the staff he'd had during the early years of his show.

 

Walmart, which is the main sponsor of Smiley's show has yet to make any type of statement on the entire affair. I guess Walmart would rather hide behind PBS and let the broadcaster take the heat.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
