Hahahahaha!!! You did not!!! Good to hear you are well, Vee. Looks like I'll be forced to work partially for Shot 2 Day. Those will be cameo appearances and no lie...sick or not I will be a bitch. Moreso since a day delay is better than what the actual post office is doing with people's mail currently in our area (though it has thankfully started to go back to notice post-He Who Shall Not Be Named).

It's a strange thing to bring up 40 years later lol. There has to be more to the story. Maybe he didn't get paid, but GH's use of it helped it become popular, therefore helped record sales. Idk, it seems like the actual use of it on GH and the popularity and eventual record sales would be worth more than royalties from a soap opera? I guess ideally he'd get both, but GH certainly doesn't have the money to pay him now lol

Yep - and that’s when the ratings really started falling off. The episodes during the latter half of the dream season were frequently no longer even in the top 15. Ratings had even started to decline a bit at the end of the previous season (1984-85). How many more times could you break up/reunite the couples, or have the Ewings fighting for Ewing Oil? Bobby’s death was a chance to reinvent the show. But the new writers/producers blew it. And Lorimar and the network were more than happy to go back to the tried and true for the 1986-87 season. But the gas in that tank was almost gone. After one decent season following Bobby’s return, the quality of the show plummeted. The finale was another missed opportunity - in this case, to wrap things up nicely and go out strongly. CBS still hadn’t officially cancelled it when production started on the final episode. Hagman was still hoping for another season. So they designed an episode which would bring back old characters, but not force the writers to explain where the returnees disappeared to in case of another season. So we got another dream. Ugh. Victoria Principal said at the time she was willing to return to put a “coda” on her stint as Pam, but she didn’t want to be part of another cliffhanger. We could have had a great reunion for Bobby and Pam had the production company been willing to make the call on the series ending.

They're literally reviving and rebooting every highly-rated series with a reasonably long run, except cancelled network soap operas, lol.· 0 replies
