It's hard to imagine a worse delivery system than what Pluto Canada is doing with AMC. Random loops of episodes instead of on demand...why? They should have started with 10, added 5 once a week and dropped the earliest 5 if they wanted people coming back with some urgency.
And why begin in the post-Kendall/pre-Liza purgatory when its ratings tanked? Some random thoughts:
-The Hayley/Alec/Arlene/Mateo quad is great. Ripa was never heavily praised for her acting, but she anchors this story well. She has chemistry with everyone.
-I hated the Taylor recast as a teen, but from the bits I've seen now, I have to say the actress isn't bad at all. The writing is awful though, and she feels so out of place. I can see channel surfers in '95 watching one of her scenes and thinking it's JER's Days.
-Adding Bobby, Scott, Laura, Kelsey & Anita pretty much all at once was overkill. Were any of the 5 actors offered a second contract?
-Trevor wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but he's so distinct and very AMC. Can't picture him on any other show.
-The white opening is awful. AMC went from the best to the worst opening credits with the switch.
-I wonder what McTavish & Broderick head-writing together would have looked like....
