I miss that show.
I still watch it. All hail SOAPnet. Mac just died, Vicky and Jamie are in a custody battle, Marlie has left Jake, Frankie and Cass are *so* close the mambo horizontalia, and Josie has just learnt that Russ is her father.
But she was naked! And all... articulate!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What is even happening?
H:LOTS. But they did let it run for like 5 years, and it never made the ratings it should have.
True, but it was on a Friday night. Nothing good gets the ratings it should on a Friday night.
They let Veronica's Closet run three years, Caroline in the City ran four years, as did Suddenly Susan. They never should have been made. I don't think they even aired all the F&G episodes they had in the can. They canceled Another World and put James Reilly's foolish Passions on the air. Ugh.

Another World
Aw. I miss that show.
You know they're re-broadcasting them on SoapNet, right? (Not that I was addicted to it all through Jr. High & High School or anything).
Inevitable x-post.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Mac just died, Vicky and Jamie are in a custody battle, Marlie has left Jake, Frankie and Cass are *so* close the mambo horizontalia, and Josie has just learnt that Russ is her father.
Whoa. Flashback.

Much as I loved Profiler and Pretender, at least they were both allowed good long runs, so I'm not particularly bitter.

I'm bitter about Boomtown.
Wrod. That was an outstanding show, and I loved Donnie Wahlberg in it.

For some reason I've never thought of the Big 3 networks in the quasi-personal way I have about Fox, the WB, and UPN. Which I suppose is rather healthier, as my reaction to Due South's cancellation was a sort of "oh well, that's too bad..." rather than "ROT IN HELL, KELLNER!"

And Neil McDonough. Who ended up on the crap CSI-lite Medical Investigations.

It's possible I'm operating on nostalgia for the Ally Walker days, but I did really like that show.
I really liked it too. But, at some point, I really stopped liking it a lot. I haven't watched it in forever but I think it was probably related to an overuse of Jack. Jack was a lot like Spike, for me. I was interested for a while but then there was too much and I was suddenly screaming, omigodyou'resoannoyingwhywon'tyoujustDIEalready, at my tv screen.
They canceled Another World and put James Reilly's foolish Passions on the air.
I can't entirely fault them for that. Reilly clearly has a multiyear overall deal with Satan.
