Frankie and Cass are *so* close the mambo horizontalia, and Josie has just learnt that Russ is her father.
Good times, good times. I don't have cable so no soap net for me.

True, but it was on a Friday night. Nothing good gets the ratings it should on a Friday night.
X-Files did. It didn't even get good Friday night ratings, and when they replaced it with that sappy drama that I never watched with that doctor (memfault) it got better ratings. I'm not going to be an NBC apologist; I mean Fear Factor is everything I hate about reality, not to mention The Apprentice(s), and that the humorless cameowhore Will & Grace still airs (and wins Emmys) sticks in my craw, but I'd rather a network aired all crap and kept my good show on the air like WB and especially UPN.
And I put 90% of the blame on FOX for reality television. But I hate FOX for cancelling all the most amazing shows. Do I even need to make a list?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
X-Files did.
And then they moved it to Sunday.

Well Friday night is the death slot. Had H:LOTS proven it's worth they'd have moved it too. And they did try boosting the ratings with at least one Sunday viewing stunt-cast (Robin Williams) and several L&O crossovers.

Well, Medical Investigation deserved to be cancelled -- Boomtown did not.
Boomtown also didn't deserve to be screwed around with the way it was.
I'm also bitter about Boomtown. (Can you tell?)

I never watched Boomtown, but from what I've heard it was really good, and I'm completely mystified as to why they cancelled it. Or why they renewed it just to cancel it. Like with Tru Calling.

I suppose, if I'm looking for a reason to hate NBC, I could just go with the fact that they facilitated Dick Wolf's Ascension.
Though they're smarting pretty fierce from the snake bite so I won't kick 'em while they're down. Probably.

That's the real question. I mean, they moved it to Fridays, asked the producers to dumb down the storylines, and added Vanessa Williams to the cast. Did anyone think it had a chance?

Vanessa with or without the "L?"

What is even happening?
Reilly clearly has a multiyear overall deal with Satan.Clearly. Did you watch DOOL? My mother and aunt were here today at lunch time (and we ate late) so I TiVoed it for them. I haven't watched it in ages. Apparently, although I didn't seem him today, Wayne Northrup (original Roman) is back. John Black is still on, and Current Roman (who is played by Josh Taylor who, played DOOL's Chris Kositchek) is still on. Also, Frankie (Billy Warlock) is back.
I was almost all caught up, after years and years away, even though I was cleaning the kitchen and dealing with the kids while my mother and aunt sat down to watch it.
