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

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.

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.

    • I tend to lean into Nigel Campbell's work and lately, Ryan Quan, as well.
    • Outside of their headwriters, GH and BTG only credit the breakdown Writer and scriptwriter for each episode. Days credits their whole team daily with their breakdown writer listed after Ryan Quan. Their scriptwriter is the last writer listed. Hope Rena Sofer ain't gone for good
    • Thank you, that makes sense.  I do pay attention to the list when I watch.  I seem to like episodes where Charlotte Gibson is on the list.

    • It's no smaller than Beyond the Gates, honestly. Usually comprised of a breakdown writer, a script writer and a script editor; they only credit each episode with who dealt with that episode's work. But they do have a list of nine writers altogether (not counting Korte and Van Etten).
    • LOL!  He kept saying homina, homina, homina. Like the Three Stooges.   
    • Fantastic show today.   Tamara has me weeping and she was right when she said the story would be unexpected.

      date: Tuesday, June 3 | Sara A. Bible, Danielle Paige | Steven Williford Anita is too emotional for an artefact of the Articulettes? What the Hell happened?! Child bride, what in the Hell are you doing at Dani's home? Put your pee-pee stick away, please. No one cares. Dana is seeking a restraining order against Katherine, yet approaches her at Orphey Gene's? Delulu to the highest of extents, ma'am! Of course Bill would want Tomas to spy on the Dupree family for him via his [new] relationship with Katherine. That's low, Bill. Do not do it, Tomas. Not even to get yourself ahead; I'm sure the Duprees will help you open your own law firm. Yes, child bride, take the test in front of the superior Hamilton wife. Do it. I dare you. What have you got there, Anita? A letter to "Anita Williams Articulette"? What's this about? Dani's line about sharing a husband and the child bride spreading her legs for her is brilliant. Poor Andre, having to see Ashley make out with the man she shouldn't even be with. Go fight for your woman, Andre! But the second choice is always there. Oh, so much like the Supremes, there was a fourth Articulette at some point? Interesting. Nice detail. Ashley versus Dana? Oh now this is some juicy, juicy development I needed! Yes, let this happen. But Derek, sit your useless ass down. Maybe go save another cat from another fire. While I appreciate Katherine's persistence, Tomas continues to bring up brilliant points from a legal point of view. Ms Dana, go ahead and take Derek off of Ashley's hands, please. Time you got yourself someone new, although you want things you're not meant to have. It's your character trait. Bill is definitely beginning to give signs of something very serious; is it epilepsy? Oh shït is hitting the fan, re: the Anita storyline. She knows this letter, back to front. Wow. Damn... so the fourth Articulette unalived herself? That's a strong reveal, and not at all what I would expected! Notes: Once again, Karla Mosley (Dani) continues to eat up the dialogue written for her and delivers it so effortlessly. I've noticed this several times in the past month, but Alex Alegria's (Tomas) jackets, from my perspective, seem to be tailored too tight in his arms, or Jeresa Featherstone is buying things to fight the other parts of his upper body. The smarter thing to do would be to buy something that fits his more athletic upper arms and tailor in the sides of the jackets. Because the ones he's been wearing recently do not fit him properly, they should not be bunching at the shoulders like that. Tamara Tunie (Anita) just earned herself the Emmy! Give it to her right now.

        so there was a 4th Articulette and she killed herself bc of Anita? Im confused
    • Question.  Why is the list on-screen of writers so small for GH?  Are there really that few writers for this show, or does the show employ uncredited "extra help" to save money?
