    Sounds like we're around the same age.  I never liked it either...in fact if not for PTV I wouldn't even know there was a reboot.

    I guess it was always preachy, but I found the original ok.  I started watching the reboot in the hope of seeing something entertaining.  Just painful!  Bad writing and the acting was horrendous!

    I am so so disappointed that Modern Family’s Haley ended up with Dillon. I really hoped she’d do better. I just find him too stupid to like.

    See, I think the opposite.  The are perfectly matched, in my opinion - both not too bright.  I hated Andy, I saw no chemistry whatsoever.

    As someone else said upthread, it was an homage to Judy Garland/her character in the version of A Star is Born before the Streisand/Kristofferson version (2 versions ago... there have been 4 total... so far).

    Judy’s dress was far more tasteful.  I suppose the color was similar.  BTW, Judy was the definitive Esther Blogett.  Gaga is not in the same league, nor is Barbra.

    I think it was because Patricia wants to be young again and I feel for her. I remember she was this slim cute chick from True Romance and Little Nicky. My guess is the apparent weight gain and the children she had that made the pressure all the more sad. Damn, Hollywood. Let her be comfortable into whatever she wears instead of that dress that looks three sizes too small.

    I thought Patricia was following the theme.  Golden Globes.  That was seriously awful. Her boobs were under her chin.

    The answer is no. I mean, I'm not even speaking hyperbolically, but every picture I've ever seen of him always took my breath away. He is honestly the most beautiful man I've ever laid eyes on (well, in pictures). 

    I am also under the impression that, while he was extraordinarily good looking, he wasn't the brightest bulb in the socket. 

    Most handsome guy I’ve ever seen, but nobody’s perfect!  He did seem to be a nice guy, though.

    Regarding the wife - she wasn’t a great beauty.  Just goes to show, if you’re 5’ 10”, slim, well-groomed, with great clothes, everyone thinks you’re gorgeous!

    For the New Year, on my pet peeves list, I really wish I would stop hearing these words ever used again : 

    Totes

    Adorbs

    Adulting

    Adorkable 

    Add:  "convo".

    People who chuckle after every sentence.  It's cold out today (heh, heh).  I should call my mother (heh, heh).  Oh, you have a new bracelet (heh, heh).  I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow (heh, heh).  I'm sure they don't realize what they're doing, but I have asked what was so funny & received a blank stare.

    I love this show. I love MTM's wardrobe. She had such a great figure and wore it all so well.

    Classic and professional wardrobe.  You could wear a lot of those clothes today, provided you are not into skintight, sleeveless dresses and 5-inch stilettos.  

    This show is just so much better than dreck like the new Murphy Brown.

  8. Will never understand why this was remade.  First one was painful, maybe because Julie Andrews has always made me want to slap her in the face.  I suppose this one is directed toward the pre-teen crowd.

    Would we trade a more balanced approach at the weekly subjects for another season or are we ok with the idea that, when you exclude so many viewers, you end up cancelling the show?

    I don't think it has to be balanced.  Political humor is fine with me.  This show was NOT funny.  Bad writing, bad acting, bad direction.

       The issue comes when they go after low hanging fruit too often.....and this did.   

    ^^^

    Only thing is, judging by the comments on FB and elsewhere, nuance and subtlety doesn’t seem to resonate with today’s fans.  I believe I’m the demographic they’re preaching to, and I found the show cringe-worthy.

    Yes!  I demand realism!   

    You're really going to hate it when I tell you the show was shot in New York City, even though it takes place in Washington...

     this just seemed clunky and forced to me. 

    That's been the whole problem with this show, this episode was no exception.  Just seems very amateurish.  Longest half season ever!!!!

    The Afganistan bit looked so phoney.  I thought he was in Fresno.  Somebody will have to explain the humor in this show, because I see none.  The Ted Cruz "joke" sounded like a joke from The Wolf Network.  The secondary characters have been plucked directly from a high school play.

    The show is constantly preaching to the choir in an overly obvious, teacher-like manner. The characters are just spitting out things the viewer has already said or thought of themselves, because let's face it, if your politics lean to the right you probably aren't watching this show.

    That’s what I’ve been saying!  Political is fine, as long as it’s funny, which this show is not.  The ‘choir’ wants humor!

    Blind Gossip says they forced KLG out in order to go for a younger demo. I'm not sure if they are aware, but it's the old women like me (I am 57) who watch daytime TV. But it's, whatever. 

    Yeah, really.  The younger demo isn’t watching.  As an oldster, I barely tune in.

    Maybe college students watch soaps, but I don’t get why they would want to watch Hoda and ?

    I'm thinking the 3 segments were part of the "conditions" for her appearance...an entrance like royalty in her white outfit with a train, movie clips going back to her first role as Selena, a segment with her BFF gushing over her, her mom being there and getting the little game show thing, birthday cake, etc. 

    Some celebs have more pull than others, and JLo definitely has the pull. (Yes, Ms. Lopez will do your show, as long as you make it all about HER.)

    And, why not?  Why would she show up for a two minute segment?  Who the hell is Armie Hammer, anyway?
