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.

 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.

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.

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!

    • 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.
