As someone who uploads game show stuff to YouTube and as someone who dabbles in the trading circuit every now and then, I do think it can actually be interesting to see how some stations did their lineups, if they had network shows for example. Also, I know some fans like to track down original airings of their favorite shows from their area, and well, it helps to find out if said show actually aired there in the first place.

But that being said, a few people can be a bit too ardent about original airdates, original scheduling, etc. And again, as someone who uploads, I don’t mind being corrected if I’m wrong about something like that. But it can be bothersome when they’re insisting that they are correct on something of this nature and they don’t do it tactfully; or even in some cases when they aren’t correct. Because really, it’s a game show airdate… not that serious.

I cannot believe they have just flat out destroyed Chloe as a character. And to make matters worse, they did it all to prop up Dannifer, one of the most contrived and boring couples I have ever watched on a soap. I was expecting more of her return when I read that she’d be coming back. Such a wasted opportunity. This actually managed to be more horrid than the hooker storyline.

It was a lot more fun watching Chloe turn from a bullied school girl to a confident young woman and seeing guys like Philip and Brady fawning over her instead of watching pretty much the complete opposite.

Ugh, so disappointing. She was one of the first characters I truly fell in love with when I first started watching Days back in the late ‘90’s. It’s one thing for a character to progress over time. But when I’m watching and I have no idea who the person is anymore, and not just that, but if the character in question has taken not just one, but several steps down from what they once were? Yeah, that’s not a good thing.

Granted, anon, I’m not the biggest fan of LMaD (though it has grown on me over the years) and I’m not a fan of the show being an hour long, but I’m genuinely curious as to how exactly that show and The Price is Right are not “decent”?

Usually when traditional and old-fashioned type game shows come to mind to people, those two are among the first that are used as examples. That and Jeopardy and Wheel.

If it’s anything like how the first 50 shows were aired, shown twice, and then fresh episodes are scheduled to follow, then ok, fine.  Though I’m surprised GSN doesn’t just lease a number of shows, air those, then right when it’s time for that number to be done, make the same monetary arrangements and put the next batch in line immediately so everything stays as fresh as possible.

I’m not a fan of limited leasing at all but if this system sticks, I’ll take it any day over being stuck with the same batch of episodes for 3 years at a time.

I can’t believe this Matt Lauer/Jeopardy! story had some fact in it. You’d think Sony would steer clear of someone with his unpopularity. And I’m not just saying this because I’ve never really cared for him. I mean, have they seen the ratings the Today Show has right now? If anything, hypothetically speaking, if he did get the job, it could actually be a worse situation than what happened with Ann Curry considering how long Alex has hosted Jeopardy.

I do like the idea of a newsman/journalist hosting the show though. As for O’Hurley, I don’t know if he’d fit a show like this, but I wouldn’t completely dismiss the idea.

I’d say as long as Alex himself is okay with retiring from the show and he’d be making the decision on his own, and they found someone good to host the show afterwards, as a fan who still watches every day, under those circumstances… I’d be completely okay with the show going on with someone else.

oh, anon, I’m pretty sure, in fact, I’d almost even be willing to bet that most of the people who watched Strip Poker and were fans were probably not watching this one for the format. They were either watching for the girls — or if they were like me when they saw this show — they enjoyed the male contestants.

This show was pretty much all about the eye candy.

I love how with Sonny, Chad, and EJ not being able to elaborate on everything that Gabi’s done to Will now, it’s so obvious that the show is setting Will up story wise for a big soapy reveal and a huge fallout with Gabi with this custody thing.

As hard as it is to watch, Will confiding in Gabi is going to be such a key factor when he finds out what she’s done in the past year plus the baby stuff. Will considers her to be a real friend. He made a mistake that night and wants to do the right thing and be a father to his daughter. He’s genuinely upset that he might lose the love of his life to Brian, and Gabi tries to act like she gives a crap to his face, when all the time she cares about is herself and she’s all like “who cares if Sonny gets back together with Will” when he’s not watching.

Nick has a much more significant role in this right now, but Gabi’s totally involving herself in it too and it wouldn’t surprise me if her role amplified in the future. The fact that she’s willing to talk shit to Sonny, and whine to Nick that Will and Sonny getting back together means her secret might come out and how it’s gonna negatively impact HER and her ONLY proves that she’s not even apologetic about any of what she’s been doing. And Nick was in prison and they didn’t even know each other yet when the whole Andrew kidnapping/explosion business went down, so she can’t use him as an excuse when it all comes out. There’s no logical way she can come out as a good person when everything’s set and done. Also Will specifically told her that attempting to sabotage Chad and Melanie’s relationship in any way was wrong when she first brought the idea up to him and he wanted absolutely no part in it.

To sum this up: Gabi sucks, Will is going to be PISSED, and it’s gonna be glorious… and I hope he finds out the truth at least before the baby is born.

I’d honestly bet my life that Will rubbed one off after that fantasy about Sonny in the shower.

OH MY GOD!!! Will had a fantasy about Sonny in the shower and they were shirtless and wet and kissing; and OH MY GOD I HAVE NO WORDS BECAUSE HOLY CRAP, THE HOT AND STEAMINESS OF IT ALL. SERIOUSLY I CAN’T.

Did I mention that Will and Sonny were in the SHOWER? I don’t even care if it was just a fantasy. It was perfect and lovely and flawless. I’m still fanning myself!

I totally forgot how to breathe for a second when I saw  Jeremy ripping off his shirt last night. OH MY GOD HE IS SO FINE.

Heartbreak is just one of those things that comes with soaps. For some of us, this is one of those days. But really, if John and Marlena can survive Satan, Will and Sonny can certainly survive this!

As much as I dislike Brian, this is classic soap that’s being shown here.

And let’s be real, their reunion I’m sure will be all kinds of emotional, and well, hot.

Welcome to my side of tumblr, which proudly obsesses over classic TV, gorgeous guys, soap operas, and game shows. Not necessarily in that order, haha. Thank you all for following!

As much as I really am not a big fan of Brian’s character (though good god I do LOVE me some Brant Daugherty, seriously, I adore him; and Brian is good looking which is pretty much why I made that meme a while back), I can’t say I’m upset about these latest spoilers.

Not to mention, I think Days has proven over time that they know what they’re doing with these characters. I have no reason not to keep the faith at this point, after all we’ve been through. And I’m confident that we’ll get a good outcome and payoff from this when it’s all set and done.

One thing that did cross my mind is that I do love that we’re going to see a vulnerable side of Sonny. FINALLY it looks like he’s gonna be be fleshed out a bit more as a character, and it looks like we’re going to see a side of him that’s not really been explored that much, if at all. It’ll show again that he’s really human and can act on emotion, too, like what happened when he kissed Will and lashed out at him a bit after the explosion when Will didn’t know what to think of what was happening. Sonny’s really hurt after all that’s gone on with the secrets, so I can’t be surprised that he might do something for a very brief bit out of impulse.

I remember what he said right before he and Will finally did it. That he wasn’t really a monk since he came back to Salem, but all the time he was holding out hope that he’d be with Will. I think this is going to be an example of that which we’ll actually get to see in real time.

I’m also sure that the Will angst we will get from this will be fabulous and it’ll break my fanboy heart like nothing else on TV can. It’s a bit twisted to say this, but I LOVE his woobie faces so much. Sigh.

But really, in the end, this is just another speed bump along the road of greatness for Will and Sonny’s characters and I think it’ll make their reunion all the more special.

I’m totally letting Sami’s hypocrisy slide here… not just because I hate Gabi, but it’s about time SOMEBODY told this girl OFF and call her out on her selfishness.

When the freaking queen of manipulation and bitchiness is accurate and 100% correct in calling you out on being a manipulative bitch, you really need to re-evaluate your life, and your choices. No, Gabi, if you did understand, you would have stopped Will that night and not had sex with him.

CRY MOAR, GABI. CRY MOAR.
