Today's show was boring. Even though there was a lot going on. Don't care about Ben or Ted. Eve as PC is so stupid. I did like the Hope. Claire and Ciara scene. Sarah & Rex are awful together. At least Wilson weren't on.

I'll skip episode....thanks for the warning.

They dress her like she's a grandma. It's stupid, she's gorgeous

Sadly though they dress Becky horribly as well

I actually don't think Becky is dressed that bad. KMc was dressed the worst always. They really made her look frumpy. Robin looked like a 60 year old woman.

They seem to dress the non skinny women very horribly. I agree KMc was dressed very frumpy

Idk they dressed VM like a homeless person in 2010 so it's not like 'skinny' girls are immune to GH wardrobe. Sam has crap clothes too.

That said...I would go as far as to say that the pictures in the avatar look too similar to not wonder if it was the same person. But you all are probably right.

Days made a change to the Horton Town Square set. The frozen yogurt place is gone and replaced with the entrance to the Salem Inn.

What's insulting is how transparent you are because I am sure I was clear on what I meant about avatars. Now while I have not been online to reply, I have been online reading. While like @KMan101, I have given you the benefit of the doubt because you have mostly given some good interesting comments, that does not mean that I have not noticed what everyone from Vee to Soapsuds to Khan calling you out a few days ago about his being on blocked by you and others have noticed.

Stay in your lane and keep it moving.

They're really not. They're just as boring.

What really struck me watching some of the '79 episodes was how young MG looked. And I agree, she only became more striking as the years passed.
It's Krista Tesearu's birthday...
I happened to catch Beverlee McKinsey on an old Hawaii 5-O rerun. Yowza.

I was thinking the same thing-it always seemed like her makeup was pretty minimalist too.

As someone who actually liked Alan-Michael/Lucy (I had no history with the show and just started watching right when A-M was first named president and Lucy was working for him and I liked their dynamic and A-M at this point is someone who is generally trying to be a better person), I think they did a decent job with his story arc in 1995 with him fighting to free himself from the need to be loved/noticed by Alan and learning to love someone unselfishly. As far as the Spaulding dynamics, I hate more in 1995 how they pretty much permanently set up the Alex/Alan dynamics with Alex backing Alan in the end no matter what while also being weirdly obsessive about his love life. Now, did we need THREE different times that A-M is on the outs with Alan starting in 1994 and A-M decides Alan really does love him because Alan does the bare minimum and cares whether A-M lives or dies then betrays him again five minutes later? No, we did not.
A-M basically went by way of Mindy as an important character that they never recovered from a giant recasting mistake/keeping in the same stagnant dynamic. The A. Spaulding/Amanda as madam stuff was terrible but having an uninteresting actor as A-M who couldn't pull off any of the necessary saying one thing while thinking/reacting to the machinations of the other Spauldings (or show the vulnerability underneath the bluster) made it so much worse.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

#67 Palms Precinct. This was a failed pilot that NBC programmed Fri @10 against Falcon Crest and Strike Force.
It starred Sharon Gless and Steve Ryan as police inspectors in mythical Palms City CA.
#52 Mork & Mindy. After a ratings bump early in the season with a marriage and birth viewers tuned out and ABC later tried Police Squad and No Soap, Radio in that timeslot, bumping M&M off the schedule.
#47 Fame, Debut episode. Despite good reviews that show never took off, coming distant second to Magnum.

Here are the ratings for that week with the numbers.

Dallas was dealing with Jock's death.

Right now where I'm at I'm mostly just amused at how big of a deal they're making outbidding Lewis based on getting access to the contract including Ross/Holly trying to get Blake to turn A-M in. It's certainly not a sound moral or ethical decision, but on the scale of possible criminal matters on this show it seems pretty minor (Billy has committed assault in public twice in the last two months without consequences though Springfield PD doesn't seem particularly interested in assault charges in general haha). Billy is pretty sanctimonious about Spaulding even trying to compete to begin with and Nadine of course isn't at all sympathetic. The most interesting aspect of all this is the A-M/Alex dynamic where Alex is basically giving him tacit approval to be underhanded so long as he doesn't get caught and keeps her hands clean with plausible deniability. (Not dissimilar to her with Roger really.)
It's interesting watching out of order as I first started watching GL somewhere in 1995 and A-M was in his phase of trying to be a better man while also repeatedly in the Charlie Brown mode of getting the football yanked from under him.
What's a waste to me is I actually think A-M has some of the clearest motivations of anyone ( a lot of this is Rick Hearst's performance but it's in the writing too). The Spaulding presidency drive is pretty clearly the way he thinks he'll finally get the love and respect he's never gotten from his family before (and it's a shame the Bauer side as a mixed bag with a mom that apparently was in and out of rehab as the "good side" wasn't explored more). I think the front half of 1994 still mostly works for A-M but I think more than anything he gets lost in the Alan/Alex over the top recasts with RR's Alan dominating far too much. As much as Reva's sucking up all the oxygen gets blamed for the show's slide, I think it really begins with Alan's return and Alan just being a complete sociopath who's not even a fun villain.
It's sort of funny how unceremoniously they dumped Nick just when he was more or less tolerable after keeping him with one foot in the Spaulding fray with no real reason for far too long (Alex actually unconditionally loved him just like she did Alan).

That was a pretty standard week with no special programming of note.
As for Dynasty, at that point it was winning it's timeslot but usually finishing somewhere between 20th and 30th-it hadn't broken through yet. One explanation for the lower rating was that it hadn't aired the week before so maybe a bit of momentum was lost?
Anyway it continued to slowly grow throughout the season moving into the Top 20 on occasion but it wasn't till the May finale episodes that it exploded, finishing at #2 for the final two episodes.
NBC was having trouble on Friday and Saturday nights but what possessed them to program the movie The Late Show Sat @9?It was a repeat of a box office flop that had rated poorly the first time around. Surely they could have found something with a bit more ratings potential? Barbara Mandrell had won it's timeslot and they squandered that.
CBS programmed a repeat of Foul Play and ABC Love Boat.
