Not you mentioning KINDRED THE EMBRACED!!!! lol. LOVE. And CENTRAL PARK WEST...though I too young to understand it. lol. 

 

Yeah, I watched the DAWSON'S CREEK, FELICITY, and CHARMED in real time. 

I recommend KINDRED etc. to people all of the time. The whole show, short-run, is up on YouTube. People who have only seen Stacy as Kristen or as Susan Banks, will not believe her in this!!! Kelly Rutherford is good in this as well. Love finding another Kindred fan!

CPW, totally classic.

Oh yeah. My mother had the biggest crush on the main actor...may he rest in peace.


Kelly Rutherford is always good. Them soap roots. ;) And Stacy...oooh yeah. Before her recast of Kristen (and Y&R Patty) she was on there and SUPERBOY so I've always liked her. And she was really breathtakingly beautiful.

If only Mark Frankly (looks wrong) had not died so tragically Kindred would have become a great vamp soap.

That, too!!! But good to hear about the theme. Now do CHARMED. ;) 

 

But seriously, I watched the original runs in real time (and with VHS) so there are scenes that I remember when they aired and what music was played. A lot of the music and artist I've discovered growing up has been through movies and tv shows. Or the music resonated with the scenes in questions. So it does not hit the nostalgia the same when you see a scene that you still remember in your 'old' age but some generic music play. Yeeeah NO. I take that personal though I understand why. It's like soaps no longer being able to play the latest in music due to rights. What is coming to mind is Bo&Hope and Carrie/Austin on DAYS and their theme songs which of course if they were on, fans would never hear it now. 

 

LOL. Yeah. He did as Kevin Williamson really started to rise so they left Season 2. 

 

They did. lol. I don't know if it was as bad as the other shows I watched yet. But I can point to one of my favorite episodes in Season 2 The Aretha Theory where the girls beg Meghan to take them out to forget about their men problems and that music was changed. Cuz it was a fun quirky 'let's get characters who rarely interact' episode and Meghan actually having Felicity's back when they were in their frenemies stage was always a hoot. But like I said before, I love that show soooo much as a teenager turned college student (I even call out of my college friends to this day whom favors Keri Russell right down to her now long hair Felicity to this day) that I might have to tell Memory GTFOH and watch...something I've actually been doing with a (very, very) Dawson Creek's Season 5 binge because I liked them at college the first (and second and three) time around. But just in case, you never saw Season 5...I will shut up. :)

 

Good to know.

 

WHHHHHHHHATTTTTTTTT!!! This is your FIRST BUFFY watch. Oooo...dish!!!! lol. Outside of crossover episodes, I think you will be fine just on BUFFY. Heck there is one season where they are separate by tv networks and aren't even allowed to mention the other by name so you should be fine. But...like @Bright Eyes said...ANGEL Season 1 was airing concurrently with BUFFY Season 4. So you have a waaaaays to go. 

 

In hindsight, I agree with you about ALIAS Season 3. But as someone watching that craziness...it was TOO jarring. I wish they had found a better balance to not rewrite that ending but move into their standalone season for Season 4. I have always wondered since Lauren was talking about the very idea that Sydney didn't know who was pulling her strings. And that Sydney...listened. But alas. Still a great show which PS. also had its songs changed ugh. How am I supposed to enjoy Spy Mommy in Bangkok without her DEFINITE theme music when she shows how lethal she really was? I mean...UUUUUUUUUgggghhh!!! That generic song does...NOT DO IT.  lol.

 

CHARMED I did watch as it aired but also doing a very slow rewatch. I cannot stand the replaced music though.

I totally get why that would be hard to deal with. I don't remember the original music for BH90210, MELROSE, or DAWSON'S but there are certain scenes that the songs are just so terrible and generic and you just know it's a poor replacement! lol

I've caught the occasional college episode of DC but hardly remember anything. It'll be fun to watch it properly.

Yes, first time ever! I was OK with season 1 but the show really takes off about halfway through Season 2, and am really really loving it. I can't wait to watch more.

Hehe. You feel me then. re: replacement music ;) 

 

The early college years of BH and their senior year was the same way and I just rme. Cuz with BH, they just cut the scenes completely from what I heard on the dvds. Meanwhile, depending on the channel, it either had the original music or not. Maddening. lol.

 

OOooo...I think you will like it Season 5. It does fall into a story trope that DC slowly kept falling into in its later seasons, but still a really good season. No spoilers here, but let me know when you watch Episode 1 of Season 5 for some good tea. :)

 

Omg! Yes. BUFFY more or less gets better as the seasons go on up until their network move (you are still a loooong way off so enjoy ;) ). Then the fanbase splits from what I remember in real time. Though I feel as the original fanbase has grown older they have appreciated the later seasons better. Cuz even a bad Buffy episode is, was, always has been better than most shows. :) :) So many good things and payoffs to early plot threads. But let me ssssh.

I watched BUFFY in early syndication but what I loved more was ANGEL.

With CHARMED, TNT used to play the episodes with the original theme song. I started recording them so I could rewatch, only to realize they replaced it with the new, generic one. Like, are you serious?!

Yep. The BH DVDs just cut out some of the scenes with singing completely. I suppose there's no way to replace those with generic songs, although I wouldn't mind if they simply muted the freakin' sound and had subtitles or something lol

I will definitely let you know about DC! Two episodes left of Season 4. I think I'll take a quick break and binge something else, but I'll circle back. I do hope the college years are good.

I am very excited about BUFFY (and trying out ANGEL, eventually). I hope they can keep up the quality. I am open to whatever they serve! lmao

Lol. One of these days.

 

Yeah, I heard from my brother. I want to say that they were usually kept in when they were in repeats on SoapNet, but otherwise...nope. 

 

Yay!!! You made it through Season 4 fast. I still feel Season 5 was good and I used to rewatch it on VHS often. But I moved before I could watch the last season. Before there were streaming, there were webpages that did transcripts of episodes so I have a rough idea of Season 6. One of these days I might sit down and watch it to get a feel if I would have liked the season if I had watched it. 

 

I stay by what I said...the worst episode of BUFFY...which if I think about it has only been 2...one of which I am sure you have gotten to by now...one comes waaaay later...is still heads above most tv shows. My way of saying their quality stayed high for the most part.

Yes, I sped through those 23 episodes! lol Enjoyed it a lot! SO curious to see what the college years bring. You should do S6 properly ;) 

That's really great to hear about BUFFY! It's depressing when a great show plunges into nothingness. 

Meanwhile, binging DEVIOUS MAIDS Season 3 and 4. Just a lot of fun and, actually, lots of laugh-out-loud moments!

I blame it on the theme song replacement. ;)
