That promo video was GREAT! No stuck-up pretension, no desperate attempts to be funny, just genuine excitement. Seeing all of those people took me right back to middle school lol

The Parkers was my favorite, and not one single solitary ounce of me expected to see Mo'Nique or Countess in this lol. Glad they were able to get the others, for however briefly they appeared (RIP Yvette Wilson - she would have been all over this).

Jumping into this thread randomly and YES, I agree with this 100%

 

Looking back, Revenge would've been a perfect Netflix/Hulu limited series. The first season was awesome, and then it went to hell in a hand basket the second season. It had its moments in the 2nd and 3rd year, but once it was revealed Emily's father had been alive all along, Hubby & I were done with it. 

 

With so much to offer these days, I'm finally getting out of the soap opera wheel of monotony and enjoying a lot of series across multiple platforms. Ones I just recently watched: 

 

The Morning Show  (loved it)

Big Little Lies  (loved it)

Little Fires Everywhere (loved it - 3 Reese Witherspoon dramas in a row! lol) 

Defending Jacob  (it was pretty good; stars Chris Evans) 

Mrs. America  (just binged the whole thing this past Sunday - great fun) 

The Society  (just finished last night... modern-day Lord of the Flies... very good and will likely have to wait over a year for the 2nd installment) 

 

What should I do next?  I tend to gravitate towards female oriented domestic dramas.

I'm missing Dr. Pimple Popper. I've watched some of her youtube videos the past few days.

 I'm getting quite knowledgeable about cysts, lipomas, blackheads and steatocystomas. 

I like the supernatural/mystery/paranormal/scifi stuff so also watching Beyond The Unknown and The UnXplained (Bill Shatner's latest show).

I'm planning to watch this again.  One of the best pieces of work I've seen in a long time.  I've always been fascinated by Jewish culture so watching this movie was easy.  The young woman (can't remember her name) should have an award created just for her.  

 

Must see!

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION Season 4.

 

Whoa. I knew the show got much better in Season 4 but I did not expect it to take off quite so brilliantly. The conclusion to Picard's kidnapping by the Borgs, the episode about family, Data's brother... Brilliant stuff. And it's FINALLY somewhat serialized. It's like a whole new, better, show.

Currently watching At Home With the Braithwaites.  Allison Braithwaite wins 38 million in the lottery and decides to create a charity and give the money to folks who need it.  Problem is, she has a husband and 3 kids she doesn't tell about the money.  The family is lower middle class and a few of its members would love to live a bit better.  Dad has an affair but breaks it off before he even learns about the money because he wants his wife and family, so who's worse here.  Mom or dad? 

 

Love BBC shows and anything created/written by Sally Wainwright is worth a look.  

 

Also binged a 4 part series on BET Plus called Dark Money.  A British family sends their 13 year old son to the States to film a block buster movie and later discovers he was being abused by the director.  The decisions the family makes initially rips the family apart completely.  Certainly worth a look!  Great performances too

    • 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.
    • I just did with GL and its made me very happy!

          Oh yes, trying to get into any soap from scratch starting post-2010 would be hard. I prefer to go back to the good ol' days, before the decline. 
    • Can we talk about how iconic the 1994 tornado was on AMC? I was scanning through old episodes last night and came across this episode. The tornado was epic and the storylines/aftermath were so good (Julia's scar/Noah!; Jenny/Ray/Nola/Jesse in heaven with Tad, etc).  For 1994, these special effects and budget for this big event were amazing. 10 out of 10!  The only thing missing is Erica!  I can't recall where Erica was at the time, but I really wish she had been involved in this storyline.
