Ten finalists, and not a halfway decent one amongst them.
I called Allyson in a rage after the 50th time they complained about the script they picked being so badly written and not funny.
They should have called this show Situation: Irony.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

What is even happening?
Famous Teddy Z!!!Oh, I liked that show. It had that Winter Hill Gangster, from Somerville on it--Alex Rocco.
I can't believe I left out Keen Eddie.Oh, thanks for the segue back to DOOL, Wolf. Mark Valley was one of the actors to play Jack Devereaux.
I gave up on DOOL 10 years ago but, now you are all making me want to start TIVOing. Damn!
I hear ya, Tamara. It hasn't been 10 years for me, but it must be at least 5. I was cleaning up after supper and I realized I had Neneh Cherry's song Buffalo Stance stuck in my head. I wondered where that came from, and then realized I always associated it with Days, because of the use of "sweetness", which made me think of Steve (Patch).
I gave up DOOL and GH at the same time. I paid attention to DOOL for about 30 minutes today, and I'm ready to watch, just because I have to see how Reilly and Satan make an ever worse clustermuck of the Roman/John Black storyline. Of course, I don't have ANY TV shows to watch until 24 comes back in January, because I hate everything.

DOOL: Your recap of recents events: that's just freaky, people. Even for a soap.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mark Valley was one of the actors to play Jack Devereaux.
And probably the shortest.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Ah, the Ice Princess... Good times.

The warring tribes were the 'shippers, yes?
Oh, Deep Bitterness Society vs. the Anti-Bitter Squad, Redemptionistas vs. Evilistas, 'shippers for every possible pairing, Xander-fans, Willow-haters... Every possible opinion went to extremes.
DOOL is brilliant. Recently the actress who plays Sami was pregnant, so they had the character disguise herself as a man for nefarious purposes. And they had a man playing her role, of course. Genius! I happened to catch an episode in the middle of that and was so confused.

Ah, the "golden age" of GH. By the by, I think the One True Carly!! (Sarah Brown) is on one of the CSIs this year. Or maybe one of the Law & Orders. I disremember. They all look the same.

Strega, that is truly brilliant. More shows should do that.
ETA: I know SB guests on those shows a lot. She's been on WaT twice and at least one CSI. Though! Oooh! Maybe she's going to Miami to replace Alice in Wonderland chick.

That Sami thing reminds me of the last time Another World brought Marlie back -- instead of having Jensen Buchanan play her and Vicky, they brought in one of the previous Vicky/Marlie actresses and had her need plastic surgery.
