Now you know I love you for your excellent taste in older men, but...NO. lol.

 

She usually goes off the rails around Season 3. GREY'S and SCANDAL had great second seasons from what I remember. I would say that about HTGAWM as well. 

 

Maybe you meant Ryan Murphy?

Hahahaha. You don't even give Murphy a full season. Daaaaaaaaaaarn.

 

But I still see see GH and SCANDAL Season 2 as great season...especially SCANDAL's season 2 given what He Who Shall Not Be Named is doing in office trying everything he can to steal the election.

 

We will have to agree to disagree.

Brothers and Sisters.  I forgot how much I loved this show and I'm stunned that I still loathe Justin!  Usually, the 2nd time around, my feelings change.  Not on this!

 

Dreading the moment mediocre Van Camp shows up but there are just things in which I have zero control.  

 

Flockhart and Van Camp on the same show?  Who hates an audience this much?!  Thank goodness B&S had Fields, Rhys, Griffiths and Getty to balance it out.

Oh yeah!  You just have to suspend disbelief and imagine 2 hot successful men chasing a grown woman with the body of a 12 year old zombie.  And of course, Van Camp plays Van Camp.  Zero range , but if you enjoy mediocre overrated blondes, she's your girl.

For me, B&S never knew if it wanted to be a Zwick/Herskovitz family drama or a political show or a quirky dramedy (like its Desperate Housewives lead-in) or a balls-to-the-wall dishy soap (ditto), sometimes within the same episode, and it did all of those things poorly. The writing never lived up to the *incredible* caliber of that cast. Feels like a huge waste.

 

You know, I actually liked EVC on the early episodes of Revenge. Another waste. Should have been a limited series, but that was before those were fashionable.

Brothers and Sisters was SO good, especially the first few seasons.  I remember reading about some behind the scenes drama with maybe the lead EP or creator - anyway, you could tell something happened and the latter few seasons were not nearly as good.  Similar to Revenge, for me... the first 2-3 seasons were so good, and then something just happened and it got stale.

Revenge was a convoluted mess that should have been a mini series.  Each week, whatsherface had a new person she needed to get revenge on.  Then when it's time to bring everything to a head, they add another person.  Of course, there's EVC to bore the [!@#$%^&*] out of everyone

I also felt like B&S pulled their punches with Kitty, never really going there with her as a conservative. They wanted her to be a sweeter, less self-absorbed Ally McBeal. I loathed Calista and Rob Lowe together. That was definitely a show I hate-watched to the end.

    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of 
    • FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM FEBRUARY 1973 & MAY 1973:

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
    • Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?
    • I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.
