To this day, I am grateful that they never had Stefan and Steve split permanently, so that Stefan could be with Laura, and Steve with Myra.  Even though I felt like that was EXACTLY what they wanted to do.

 

I still remember watching the first episode with Stefan when it originally aired. It was then that I first realized what "jump the shark" meant, way before that phrase entered the lexicon.

Kate and Jack, Kate and Sawyer, Kate and anyone on LOST...lol

@SoapDope thanks for finding those. They were hilarious, especially the captions ("turbanated" "a billionaire wearing potato suits"). I did think they were hard on James' sweaters, which I liked. I can't believe how awful Jenna looked in the many clips they had of her - how do you make Priscilla Presley (of that era) look so frumpy? 

 

The worst was Pam's perm. She looks like Rick James!

Yes...exactly. Pam went from looking classy like Jaclyn Smith circa 1978 to Rick James circa 1981. I wonder if Jhirmack was responsible for that ? Another favorite was the caption "Peter's lack of fabrics". Muriel just gave me the creeps. 

Ben & Riley on Baby Daddy-awful couple, especially given how he treated her in high school 

 

Carol & Shep on ER, he was a whiny crybaby, never understood what she saw in that loser

 

Clark & Lana on Smallville-she emasculated him nuff said

The Peter one made me laugh too. No man looks good in those types of clothes, aside from hunky football players, maybe. Putting Christopher Atkins, terrific body or not, in them just made him look pathetic.

Shep was the only man I ever liked Carol with

 He looked like a slut. Someone posted in the youtube comments that they wonder how Angelica wiped her self with that get up on. Then they said they maid or the butler would do it......LOL

He did. He should have tracked down that gay boyfriend of Lucy's and hooked up with him. That would have been more believable than the Sue Ellen fling.

I was just a kid at the time (yes I was a child watching Dallas - no wonder I'm such a screwed up person) but I really liked Cally. I can see why Hagman chose Cathy Podwell, as I think she had a vulnerability to her. With that said, looking back, it really is bizarre and cringeworthy (the debut with the hick town in particular) and shows they had run out of ideas for JR.

 

I'm also bewildered at how awful the makeup and wardrobe were for Sue Ellen by that point. I guess that's right before Linda Gray left.

 

I have to say I haven't seen enough of Cally to really judge as a character and she is the best thing to come out of the whole story so far (that may or may not be damning with faint praise), but her being anywhere near J.R.'s vicinity is just a visual I don't think I can get over. And the story itself is indeed so... bizarre.

 

Sue Ellen's look in this season is incredibly harsh.

LOL......Yes Kit Mainwaring. I bet he was still cruising Studio 54... er I mean Jimmy's Disco. Since the writers had a hard time making up story for Lucy, I think it would have been interesting to of have had Kit go through with the marriage and have him conflicted, bringing home men he had picked up etc...and lying to Lucy. I always felt he was the original Steven Carrington and Aaron Spelling ripped him off along with the entire show Dallas. Fallon was a rip off of early bad girl Lucy.

Not an Evangeline Lilly fan, I take it. 😉

Debra and Ray on Everybody Loves Raymond as well. The relationship became so bitter and she became such a shrew 

 

Agreed. Patricia Heaton was much more likable on The Middle. These days, I think of her as Frankie Heck as opposed to Debra Barone.

I've been watching the original One Day at a Time on FETV. The early years with David Kane made me cringe because he was so clingy. Then, Ann marries her son-in-law's father? Couldn't they have made Sam an uncle of Mark's or something? It's pretty icky to have spouses who are also stepsiblings (though Barbara and Mark were married before Sam came on the show, I believe).

 

I did like Julie with Max (and thought Mackenzie Phillips and Michael Lembeck had good chemistry). Too bad that pairing was derailed due to Mackenzie's addiction that led to her dismissal from the show - twice.
