I think NBC will want to hold onto that time slot, so get ready either for yet another hour of "Today," or "The Shepard Smith Show."

I feel like while Ken Corday has some money left, I would see if I could take DAYS from NBC and relaunch it for a streaming service. Now that Tyler Perry has that gigantic studio, I'd negotiate a deal with him. It's cheaper to film in Atlanta and due to the size of his studio they would have access to outdoor sets as well. Then put it on Hulu or something 3 days a week. I think it would be successful. People say no, but OLTL and AMC would still be on if Prospect Park had enough money to fund it. They got their OWN deal late, but ratings were good there and they also were among Hulu's highest rated shows. If they had money to film at least one more batch of episodes I feel it could've been a success. 

 

Y&R and B&B I feel will hang out possibly for another ten years.

Here's a thread somewhat off, some deaths that happened in 2018,

a partial

In Memorium: Burt Reynolds died Sept. 6, 2018,

John McCain died Aug. 25, 2018,

Arthera Franklin died Aug. 16, 2018,

Mac Miller died Sept. 7th, 2018,

Jarry van Dyke died Jan. 5, 2018,

Verne Troyer died April 21, 2018

Stephen Hawkins died March 24, 2018

Dolores Riordan died Jan. 15, 2018

 

 

 

I think you're right. DOOL would be much better on Amazon Prime or on Hulu or on Netflix and scheduled three times per week. Heck, they could even put it on 6 times per week - morning & night! While they were doing it, GH could chase DOOL and they'd have a mini-mart of DOOL and GH on Amazon Prime M-W-Th ad ininitum!

Donna, please stop this nonsense. This has NOTHING at all to do with the topic of this thread. If you want people to respect you, then for God's sake, please respect the people posting here and the threads that they've created by not derailing the conversations with unrelated content.

      This leads to one of my favorite scenes ever...I won't spoil it but it is a very clever meta moment unmasking Brent to the cops...(it may have happened.) Also you already saw one of my favorite lines..."You, you think I'm a LESBIAN???" even crazy Brent is shocked that Lucy is that dumb, and only crazy Brent would be pissed at being mistaken for gay instead of being a psychotic rapist /killer.   Hate that scene, made both adult women look like morons. Amanda is way too subtle for that, I could see her egging emotional Blake into doing that and making a fool of herself in front of everyone. The whole story would have been more fun if Amanda was manipulating Blake to look like the Blake of old.   One of McLaiby's biggest mistakes is what they do to Bridget, who grew up since having Peter and loosing Maureen and running a business.I remember Liabson saying in the press..."The Bridget we know is back" but that was over, and being more adult does not mean you have to be boring..she was even less feisty here, she just looks pathetic.    This story is so gross... and too bad too, cause Griffin is sexy as hell. I can see Viv getting steamed on him but....   There is a spectrum of sexuality that some people can go in and out of, depending on special people they may find attractive...and we can leave it at that. I never trust the long distance girlfriend boyfriend but I hope he is happy and settled. I would have HATED the Abby storyline. He raped and killed too many people to be "reformed," and to have anyone in SF accept him or trust him after that would make them look like morons.

      Eva convinced Nicole to have the party -- due to Leslie/Dana's insistence that there be a party when they do their planned dramatic reveal. They haven't specified which anniversary it is for Ted and Nicole. How many years have they been married?  It's not 10, 20, 25, 30 or some specific number that you'd celebrate. Kat pointed out that there was no plan for a party until Eva instigated it, which indicates to me that it's some odd number of years.

      Why is Billy such a wet rag in every scene he's in? Isn't he the same man responsible for the disastrous Chancellor Remodel back in 2016?

      Part of me feels both Jacob and Naomi might show up at some point today. As "late arrivals", etc.

      MVJ seems to be cognizant that Leslie and Eva are true breakouts for this show:

      Yesterdays episode was a great lead in the fireworks for today.  It is a shame that Naomi and Jacob are not there and Nicole's best friend Vanessa and Doug.I am interested to see the fallout from this.  I do think that Eva is Ted and Nicole's daughter.

      2025: The Directors and Writers Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Okay, I hear ya. But, you know Josh Griffith on one Thursday night fired 7 or 8 writers in one fell swoop! That totally blew my mind. But, I still think this is bunk. And, no, the show is not that bad! Literally, my only problem with it, as a fan, is that I think it could be great & it's just not. It's good, not great. They still are not on top of pacing. They routinely take too long to tell stories. But, one example, the scenes this week with Lulu & Laura were like old time soap come home!

      Ok nevermind, Wolf is in Marian's getup on the Jan 9th episode. Lucy wakes up at the lighthouse and it's now Marian, drinking tea, and sounding like an old British woman a la Mrs. Doubtfire

       Wolf is actually doing a good job as Brett, but I don't think they made him look like a believable Marian - its too clown/drag, but also creepier - and Wolf has a large nose they couldn't hide. I guess at this point, it didn't matter since she was unhinged and revealing him/herself anyway.
