And, indeed, no one has claimed that it was. What I said ... 

Not necessarily. Whose to say they couldn't have gone on, the way they were, till the end of their days. Obviously there were multiple affairs. Going by her own experience, she was unprepared for Bill to blow them up. Hadn't happened before.

 

Ultimately some gold-digging ambitious whore let Bill know she expected a marriage & she got her way.

Bill didn't just leave her. More to it.

But again, that is not a healthy relationship or sustainable way to live. Who's to say another affair that wasn't Haley wouldn't have caused him to leave? They would be living in denial, which is not a solid way to live. 

Haley was just the straw that broke the camel's back in that marriage. For now at least.

Being an outsider does not equate to being the underdog. You're looking at it contextually. But that coin has another side. Hayley NOW is in a position of power. She got Bill to marry her & at the country club & live in the community of her choice. He'd have been fine getting married anywhere & living apparently many different places. It is Hayley who wants to force her way into the Fairmont society. Sorry, I do not think I misunderstood you. Perhaps we see Hayley differently. But agree 100% MVJ brilliant.

I want to challenge all of us to say what were the 5 most important things that happened this first week. To be continued ...

Finally, here, we agree.

Agreed! I have been branded as this, that, and the other regarding my viewpoints of this show. But when this show was first announced, I immediately stated two things:

Start with an interesting explosive beginning.

MOVE IT ALONG

You're also right that there is so much more to watch so this really needed to stand out.

    • I'm hoping that the new studio might have more space, meaning extra sets could be permanently erected. Perhaps the current  set issues are due to limited space available at Television City as it shuts down for the redevelopment. But if more space means spending more $$$ we might be stuck with the current situation no matter where they move.
    • Thanks @P.J. If my math is correct, Jordan Clarke runs were 1983-1987, 1989-1993, 1997-end.
    • I was/am mainlining both the Dream Season and Season 7 of KL together, since that was the year of their big creative swap. That's the most I can take of Dallas consecutively. But I've been very preoccupied with other shows and work IRL and I need to get back to it after a long break from my Knots binge.
    • Wk 1 95/96 MSW moves to Thurs, Cybill takes the Sunday slot. Thurs 8-9pm NBC Friends #3 20.5/33 The Single Guy #6 19.2/30 CBS Murder She Wrote #55 9.3/15 ABC Charlie Grace #74 7.6/12 FOX Living Single # 78 7.2/12 The Crew #80 7.0/11 Sunday 8-9pm NBC Mad about You # 15 14.6/23 Hope & Gloria #35 11.7/18 ABC Lois & Clark # 38 11.4/18 CBS Cybill #49 9.8/15 Almost Perfect #65 8.1/12 FOX Space Above & Beyond (2nd hr of 2hr episode) #51 9.5/15 60 Minutes was #19 so a lot of viewers didn't stay for Cybill. On Sunday, Sept. 24, CBS finished third on the night, and its performance among 18 -49 year olds was worse than it was with the older skewing Murder, She Wrote in the time period last year.  So moving MSW was a foolish move at that point. It was compatible with 60 Minutes and would probably have finished Top 20-25 for the week. They should have left Sunday alone and concentrated on other nights..
    • I’ve been watching Knots and FC rather compulsively for a while now. Currently in fall 1983 with both. I had Dallas in there, too, but I am rather shocked at how stale that show gets after Jock’s death. Meanwhile, I can spend hours in the vineyards and in the cul-de-sac.
    • What will actually change though? Does this mean the sets will be different too? Or how exactly is this gonna look like to the viewers? 
    • I'm not sure Passions is the model to emulate here.
    • Passions had Chad sleeping with his cousin nephew Vincent, ironically played by Daphne Duplaix (disguised as Valerie)

    • @Errol confirmed JFP is back in a non-producing role.  
    • Same tbh. His brother got all the attention as he got older and hotter but Eric I like best. I need to get back to this show.
