Good grief. This show came on today immediately after Ina so I got to see Rachel act like a goofy preteen, all within just one minute (calling something sexy, making odd noises, & giggling). You all had perfectly described the awful change in RR. I had to switch channels right then & there! What a mess.

Yup. Throughout the show, I kept thinking about the original BC. It was such a cozy, relaxed show that also included her friends & tips on flower arranging & tablesetting. However, I too am sooooo glad to have Ina back on TV. While she was at a farmstand, they showed a clip of a tomato, avocado, & corn salad that looked so good. I need to make that! I'm sure this series is a lot easier to tape than her original show.

I just read this article an hour ago. Is it just a nasty rumor that the Gaines are being sued by a lot of homeowners (who purchased houses and had them made over on the show)? You'd think that would've been mentioned in this article. I've heard 2 people say this but never saw it in print so I really didn't believe it.

I agree. I watch it Monday - Friday. Most of her guests are great (big exception: Donny Deutch!)

Grilled chicken, scalloped potatoes w/ onions (from scratch), and salad.

B&B. Didn't they introduce the squat to ice dancing?

That's interesting cause I squeeze lemon into red clam sauce & like it. Next time I have pizza, I'll try the lemon. I also squeeze lemon into tuna salad & egg salad. It tempers the fishiness of the canned tuna and the egginess of the hardboiled eggs. Ina did an episode on the additon of lemon juice &/or zest.

Yes! I saw that program at one of the COI's I attended. She was lying on the ice, covered by the drape at the end (& maybe the beginning?) of the program. During the program, he'd wrap, then unwrap her in that drape as they skated. And she had long red hair that would fly out behind her. Ice dancing is tricky enough, with the blades so close together and to be able to skate with that very long drape? Just amazing and wonderful.

I saw her new 30MM show today and was shocked. As you all have described, she looked a mess. And her husband, who used to be attractive, doesn't look much better. I do believe her intended audience is the person who's a novice in the kitchen & her old show did a decent job teaching them that basic cooking can be easy & result in tasty food. Not this show! There must be a cook who can do this show who would be more professional and take pride in her/his appearance. Heck, they've got so many cooks they've observed during all those Next Food Network Star shows. Surely one of them could do a basic cooking show.

I think these were programs that they did for Champions On Ice, where they could really add the drama. I went to two COI's in the 90's and saw K/P perform several stunning programs. But their FD at the '92 O's did start with them lying on the ice. They are my all-time favorite ice dancers. Whenever I hear Masquerade Ball I think of them flying across the ice--they were so fast.

Wellll, yeahhhh. But I'm talkin' back in the day when almost every ice dancing team was dying on the ice. It was like a splat fest w/o the unfortunate falls...they were draped all over the ice and themselves at the end of their programs.

~~snicker~~The Entitlement Twins. Love it! Re: the Shib Sibs, IMO, they showed how siblings could be platonic partners w/o any ick factor. I miss them. I wonder if a message *is* being sent to Gadbois and/or H/D. Oh, the intrigue of ice dance.

Teddy Bear Tur...awww. I know that's not his official name, but I like it anyway 😊 Thanks for this happy news, car54.

You sound like me. I can't remember when the boredom arrived, probably because it was a gradual thing. But I found myself only enjoying ice dance where it's not so obvious that skaters are skating for points (Jason excepted). When I'd miss a broadcast of the other 3 disciplines, I was shocked to realize I didn't care. The athletic side is taking over the artistic side of figure skating. Although I feel the sport can never be complacent and skaters need to be challenged, it's just the jump-a-thon aspect that, IMO, has almost stripped this sport of appeal. There's no balance between the two sides of figure skating any more. I don't watch skating shows nor exhibitions since I prefer the competition.

I am soooo glad that dying on the ice was forbidden. T&D started all the drama-on-blades. I love today's ice dancing with the twizzles and the lifts.

We've noticed (& been annoyed by) the amount of time these talk show hosts use up with their *lengthy* questions. And then, once their guest begins to answer, they start interrupting. We started yelling at the host to shut up (it's become a bit exhausting watching some of these shows, which is why we don't watch Hardball any more). Fortunately, Nicholle Wallace doesn't do this so I can watch her show in peace. Steve K is another good interviewer, as well as Katy.

@Mindthinkr: very clever of you to let them see *who* was on the other side of the door 😎

Chuck Toad...love it! But, speaking of the handoff banter, I wish they wouldn't do it. So, I hit the mute and read something while the nonsense drones on. I'm

Oh, I'm sorry...I meant subbing for Wolf at 5:00 & 6 PM for the past few days, not today. I don't watch TV in the early afternoon so I didn't know she had a show (or that Wolf used to host an early show).

Did Katy have her baby yesterday? And speaking of KT, I vote for her to eventually replace Chuck on MTP Daily (heh...does anyone here love Chuck?)

Who is the woman subbing for Wolf? I don't know if it's just me, but I find her abrupt and her voice is harsh (but then, I'm annoyed by Wolf's monitone). She doesn't seem to know how to conduct interviews. I'll take Wolf any day over his fill-in!

That's interesting, that they're content with staying inside after formerly being allowed outside. You have nice, mellow (& smart!) kitties😸

Maine Cabin Masters announced a couple of weeks ago that they're moving to HGTV (and were very excited about being on the bigger network). MCM is now filming Season 4 (thank goodness - it's one of the few shows I watch on TV these days).

Hah! It took me long enough but I found the music: Moments in Love-Quiet Storm Version by Art of Noise. It's instrumental in the beginning but around 2:40-ish, voices (but no lyrics) begin. A lot of commenters (on YouTube) say it's very "mood setting" but when H/H were skating, you just didn't think of romance (or at least I didn't as I was enjoying their skating). Maybe Madison is now, with Zach as her ice dancing partner, making up for lost time😐

Hmmm... something's in the air over at MSNBC 😊
