Oh wow, that was so sad.

Aaron did so much for to television and I think it's only fitting that his memorial should be televised for his fan to watch and honour him.

Some of my fave shows ever were down to him. RIP, Aaron.

Go Fug Yourself also did their own multi-tribute (you have to scroll down a little for it):

I have to say, these people have more of a grasp on Aaron's legacy than TVLand does. How are they paying tribute to him? By showing the episode of "I Love Lucy" that he guest-starred on and an hour-long documentary that had a 15 minute segment on him.

Screw that, I want a marathon of most of his shows!

Yeah, I was surprised by TV LAND. They own rights to quite a few of Spelling's shows, what is the deal?

Go Fug Yourself wants an Aaron Spelling network to air all his shows. Mod Squad, Charlie's Angels, Hart to Hart, Love Boat, Dynasty, The Colbys, 90210, Melrose, Malibu Shores, Sunset Beach, Pasadena, etc., etc. He certainly had enough archive to make up a week's Primetime schedule.

I've been chanting this for a long, long time. Aaron has more than enough shows to program a full schedule. As a matter of fact, I've tried numerous times to make a schedule for an Aaron cable channel, but I always have to leave shows out because there's just so much.

I would try to put his 70s crime dramas in the late morning/early afternoon, put SuBe right in its old NBC timeslot, put his more teen-oriented shows (Family, Charmed, 7th Heaven, 90210) in the afternoon, and put his really big hits in primetime (maybe a four-hour primetime block of Dynasty, Love Boat, Charlie's Angels, and Melrose Place).

The weekend would be chock-full of all of the awesome short-lived shows he did throughout his career.

No new word. When Susan Lucci was in Los Angeles promoting her book, she met up with Eva La Rue and Rebecca Budig and Eva posted a photo on IG of the three of them with a caption saying the movies were "definitely" happening. Then a few hours later, Eva edited her post saying they are "in development." I think she got a lot of fans excited (and ahead of themselves) with her original post so she had to modify what she said.

I doubt they can do worse than they did with John. The only decent thing about him was that his existence actually was plausible in the show's timeline. Everything else was a horror show (literally and figuratively).
I guess most people will buy whatever explanation they will give regarding Serena Sugden (talk about an un-Sugden-like name by the way 🙄) and her connection to Robert and Victoria. Only old-timers like myself who are very particular about these things will bother about the details.

Oh, that was easy, breezy, and good!!! I love that B&B has pivoted out of its mid-May slump. I feel engaged again.

Now I missed some episodes cuz out of town for my birthday, but I enjoyed what I saw. I am impressed with B&B having a teen/young set again in RJ/Electra/Will/Dylan again. Okay, a teen/young soap set period. I also like that we got a definite personality among them all. RJ with his smugness. Will the himbo...which we know I don't hate. Electra with the girl next door. Dylan with a grayness to her character. I like it. And I did like this week that they still have tension between Electra and Dylan and that feels more realistic to me. As did Dylan's Will daydream. Meanwhile, there is RJ still trying to get all up in Electra's face. Meanwhile, Will is over at the Spencers.

And I love when Brad Bell shifts the story focus to the Spencers. He balanced it with the Logans nicely. But I have to admit that it actually felt like the story surrounding Hope leaving for Logan and thus keeping Forrester vs Logan on the fashion runway has stopped stalling even more and is moving again. And YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS to Deke FINALLY being added to that story. And Remy still trying to make those in-roads.

Which brings me to Brooke vs Katie. Oooooo I live for a great Heather Tom performance. And those little gems of dialogue about Hope that went over Brooke's head...SUPERB. That said...SHE SHOULD HAVE SLAPPED BROOKE BACK!!! Hopefully next time!!! But yes...to this part of the story...the fashion war...is FINALLY heating up again.

So...Fashion wars, teen storyline, an C plot...or two if I include Wyatt in the wings...going. Go on, B&B for me. Get your bounce back.

The original Noah, Kevin Schmidt was good IMO. His relationship with Eden may have been a flop but he played the part well atleast..
his complicated relationship with his parents and how he was affected by the Phick relationship were all interesting things being played out at the time. His character just became more and more basic over time and lacked any kind of substance. I don’t even blame the actors that played him after because I actually thought they were all decent. The writing just wasn’t good. They never invested enough into his character and always invested more into keeping Nick and Sharon front burner instead of bringing up that new generation. I think of the Faith character in the same way. I loved all the actresses who played Faith. They just never gave her character a real chance to flourish..
Back when Shick and Victoria were aged up, they managed to give that new generation of Newmans front burner storylines while still making sure Nikki and Victor were relevant and had front burner storylines too so I don’t see why they can do that with Shick and Victorias kids now too..

I've always felt Marland (with a competent EP - not Phelp) was the writer who could have brought Another World back to life and to the top of the ratings. I suspect he would have rebuilt the Matthews and Frames and brought on a new family.

LMAO...Alma "Well dear, I knew you would end up with one!"
Lisa, "One WHAT, Mother?" (she always respected Nancy more then her poor mom."
Alma: "You know dear, a man who is..theatrical"
Lisa: "Oh, I KNOW, isnt it great...while Bob or Grant had NO interest in theater or musicals..while all they wanted to do is, Bob, watch the Cubs, and Grant sit with his books on history and law! Finally I found someone I have so much in common with!"
Alma: "Oh, I think you two have more in common then you even think dear, but if your happy"
Lisa, "Mother, I never know what you mean, I wish you would make sense sometimes!!"

I think during the end times of soaps (of which we are still seeing, though I would call the current soaps more as zombies..shuffling around, ravenous for viewers, but not having any direction or will to change their shuffling patterns) ANYONE could get nominated. I think RR seems to be a nice guy in real life (which I think leaked way too much over into Alan, but instead of giving him depth, made him look like a big wuss..) and probably had most of the cast voting for him, etc. I know Toby Poser gave an interview that she gave too much attention to RR's Alan over her supposed target of Ross, as she just loved RR.
But three times????

Amen. I won't believe Sidwell's done until he's on-screen dead on the ground. And even that...
