I guess Cheech Marin won't be complaining. 

 

This just reminds me of how irrelevant USA now feels. The show may have been a good performer for CBS 20 years ago, but bringing it back today is a rung below even the era when they just kept showing Silk Stalkings and Pacific Blue. At least then you could ogle hot shirtless guys and guys in tight shorts, instead of someone who was grimy even at his peak.

Hey now! It may have been "jiggle TV" and cheesy, but I loved me some "Silk Stalkings", especially the Estes/Kapture years. Even have the DVDs (since when they first came out! Looking at the prices since they are OOP, the cost is now insane!).

Miami Vice got its reboot AFAIC, namely the excellent Michael Mann film from the 2000s which has seen its critical rep only increase over time after initially being mocked for its association with the show.

The strange thing is I don't remember Nash Bridges even being too much of a hit itself, even for CBS in its doldrums in the late '90s(wasn't Monday and Saturday nights back then their biggest  two nights?)  Next I suppose we'll be getting a Scarecrow and Mrs. King reboot, a Grace Under Fire reboot, and of course bring on a Third Watch reboot while we're at it!

 

Nearly thirty years ago shows like L.A. Law, Northern Exposure, thirtysomething, Wings, Evening Shade, Blossom, Empty Nest etc. were all the rage; bring them up today and nobody, even those who should well remember, don't have a clue what you're talking about. 

 

 

Good point Carl, lol I remember when USA use to rerun Baywatch endlessly in the late 90s very similarly to how USA reruns SVU endlessly nowadays. I think USA as a network had a pretty good run in the 80's, 90's and '00's but yes in 2019 its becoming completely irrelevant. It's competitors TBS, TNT, FX, and Paramount(previously TNN, Spike etc.) aren't far behind either.

    • It's such a shame that the conflict couldn't be resolved in a mature way between the two actors.. especially since Albee was a bigger asset for the show in terms of character and his popular will they/won't they pairing with Deborah Saxon. One of the things about Edge was that it was just as popular with male viewers as it was with women.  It's one of things I think the show forgot in the final year or two with the deemphasis on the male characters.

Wonder what Ruth Martin ever did to this guy?!!! I mean Ruth Martin? I don't get it. Next, IMO they are just picking on Eve Donovan. Who is Dina Mergeron? Same question  Joanna Manning? Diana Colville Is that because of the bad DAYS retcon of her being Leo Stark's mother? All of the rest, CO-SIGN!

    • I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.    
    • I know, right. I after just re-reading the thread, I'm like ooppph!
    • Lulu and Dante were divorced before her coma, but she was still in love with him.  He just didn't know.  They haven't been married for years.    I was pretty mixed about Lulu getting involved when it was just a child out there in the world, but now that she realizes it's Gio I am okay with her telling Dante.  It also is her son's sibling.  I still think it's BLQ's choice though.  Lulu is in a rough spot because I think Dante will be mad if she keeps it a secret and Chase, Brook, Lois, etc will be mad if Lulu tells. Without veering too far into the classic area of the show, I had no problem with Robin telling AJ about Michael.  It may not have *exactly* been her place, but she could see how Carly was manipulating the entire situation.  It also ruined her romantic relationship with Jason for good.  Jason and Sonny were furious with Robin and practically ran her out of town, so I think we were to believe she was the bad guy.  It was a bit out of character for Robin to spill, but KMc was leaving the show.
    • Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them. Hope you've been enjoying!
    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
