Wk 1 of 84/85 Season

ABC made changes immediately,dropping Foul Ups (Tues @ 8), People Do Craziest Things (Th @ 8), moving Three'sA Crowd from Tues @8.30 to 8 and shifting Who's The Boss from Th @8.30 to Tues @8.30.Glitter Th@9 was dropped and a Thursday Movie was introduced.

CBS used mini series Mistral's Daughter to try and blunt the ratings of opposition shows.

NBC had Cosby as an immediate hit.

Sorry to be jumping around but anyway here's Wk 12 of the 88/89 season.

 

Night Court @ No 1 ! guess people really liked watching after Cheers. Must have been frustrating for the producers to have it moved out of that timeslot.

 

All of CBS' new shows were disasters. They talked about trying to hook younger viewers at 8pm then slotted Dick Van Dyke...

 

Dynasty...a sad ending. If they had have kept it Wed @10, but probably ready to be rid of it.

Wow...Dynasty at 9.7 rating and ranked #52. The last year was pretty bad story wise.  Dallas still the top soap and doing well at 15.2. ratings....and the number 2 show for CBS behind 60 minutes. CBS sure was struggling.

Even though Dynasty at this time clearly was a dying show I think it did get an injection of energy with Stephanie Beacham's arrival as Sable. I didn't miss Krystle at all after she fell into a coma.

And although Emma Samms couldn't hold a candle to Pamela Sue Martin as Fallon the writing for her did improve slightly at the end.

So personally I feel that Dynasty's last season was better than Falcon Crest's final season. That poor show definitely went out with a whimper.....

Wk 25 of the 88/89 season.

 

Changing of the guard as Roseanne hits #1. ABC moved it from 8.30 to 9 to replace the faltering Moonlighting. That benefited Wonder Years which moved into Roseanne's old slot and Anything but Love which  followed Roseanne.

 

Dallas and Falcon Crest fading but still holding up in their timeslots. Knots winning Thurs @10.

    • I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

    •   I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer. 
    • I wish I cared about the homeless lady as much as everyone else seems to. After the nothing burger that was the lawsuit, this just feels like another boring Naomi storyline at Orphy Genes since she has no office.
    • That's great to hear. Thanks. I wish that was more readily available.
    • Just learned that Clifton Davis wrote this song!  I had no idea.

    • I think even if Marland had wanted to write more for Sara/Adam, his hands would have been tied as Robert Milli was one of the actors dumped by P&G due to his age.  From the bits and pieces I've seen of that period, Sara does have a key role in the Carrie plot, and Marland briefly gave her son Tim a more important part. I'm not sure if they just gave up on Tim once Kevin Bacon left or if they never really cared. I did not even know for many years that there was an actor in the part after Kevin...and then not one, but two. The Spauldingfield video on Tim doesn't even show the last actor (Nigel Reed), which kind of says it all. Anyway, I do get the sense Marland has some use for Sara, or for Millette. It's only after he goes that she is dumped. Of course he didn't ever hire her for his other shows, so maybe I'm wrong. (then again he never hired Geraldine Court either and he seemed very fond of her) Ann is an odd character to me as she is a proto-Lillian in being defined by pining for a Bauer brother and being involved in the death of one of their wives. I do wonder what else they could have done with her. She was friends with Diane, wasn't she? They could have had Diane manipulate her against Mike, I suppose.
    • Yassss....come on Maurice and Brandon...give us nothing!!! Wow, their need to develop their craft shone like a blinding light this episode. Brandon in his Martin and Smitty scenes sounded like he was reading and the facial expressions were giving Disney Channel. He did much better against Maurice in the Martin v Ted scenes. Now, Teddd-dyy (Dana's voice) was just flat. I watched the episode just now after reading the comment on here that Maurice needs to stop swaying, and now I can't unsee it. Has it really been this bad all along?  Ambyr carries. I don't need to say anymore. I am kind of excited to see this Kat/Tomas/Eva stuff play out.  Bill is such a dick to Dani. Like that's the mother of your children that you cheated on with your daughter's best friend but you look to take those low blows. Lord! When he said that thing about it being obvious he didn't care about Dani anymore since he was the one that walked out...that was cold. I even felt for Dani. Bill definitely is all over the spectrum. You can see a villain possibly surfacing, but you also see this great father. The elder Duprees move a little funny. I'm wondering what that is all about. Are they just overly protective matriarch and patriarch because they think it's what's best for their family, or are they afraid their secrets will come out or there's something more sinister there. Why would Vernon want to keep that information from Martin?  I hope something interesting comes out of this June stuff, but as of right now, I'm not too invested. It's not helping my interest on Naomi or Jacob either. However, tge actress playing Naomi has comes a long way from day one.
