Well now! Let me try again.... ; )

Thank you for mentioning Squeezy --it looks like fun.

Xfinity, my internet (only) provider, threw in Peacock at no charge for 2 years expiring sometime in 2025. I'm sure that perk will be dropped if/when this merger goes through. But much as I love my guilty Peacock pleasures, I don't see myself paying for them. If this merger goes through, my evil half kind of hopes the resulting service falls flat on its face.

I signed up for the 3 months at 3.99 deal at the end of November and marked Feb 19 on my calendar to unsubscribe. Mid-January P+ sent an email notifying me I'd be charged 11.99 on Jan 22 -- cutting me off a month early, in fact. At least I got to watch all of the Evil they had, which was my primary motive in subscribing. Still, bad taste in my mouth regarding P+ -- it's like everyone is following Netflix's lead and tightening things up and starting to charge up the wazoo.

Milestone Moments: All The Celebrity Vitals

I enjoyed him so much wherever I found him -- Sunday Morning, the weekday morning CBS show for some years with Paula Zahn and Harry Smith*, or on the radio. *They played at least one holiday concert on the show: Charles on piano, Paula on cello, and Harry with tuba, I believe. (ETA: And Mark McEwen on triangle, IIRC.) Weird but lovely.- 2.6k replies

We (Connecticut) definitely got the Steve Martin Father of the Bride last night, so maybe a permission-type thing with international markets is in play. I thought they were doing a Diane Keaton featurette. (Ms Meyers makes me twitchy, so had I known, I'd have flipped through even faster!)

We set up the channels on YTTV and it really helps to ease navigation and facilitate flipping. It takes 5-10 minutes, and then you're good to go. I especially like that, since I put channels I'll never watch at the very bottom of the list, I don't have to see them if I do have to flip through the channels. Also -- when you access the guide/channel page, it shows the channnels you've visited recently or often across the top, so you can use that as a shortcut too.

Yikes, I didn't realize Sherman and Soul had a spouse in common! Filing this for future trivia reference. -
Guiding Light - General Discussion
Miss Anne Thrope replied to David T. Cole's topic in Guiding Light
I think both GL and ATWT were set in the midwest, but I agree about the different tones in the writing. The Bauer kitchen (and BBQ!) were warm and inviting, but the Hughes house was like the living room kids weren't allowed to enter. My memory of ATWT may not represent the show well, though, because I mostly recall things about it from when I was very young, since it was on during school hours. I thought Bridget was a hoot and really enjoyed Melissa Hayden's work, so found the fake baby storyline amusing at least -- but I like crazy/silly stories, oft-married characters, etc. The clone storyline and twins with different fathers, for example, are a bridge too far for me, but I'll go about 80% of the way down that road and enjoy the trip. -
Also a fan of Remember the Night. (Holiday Affair looks to be on again today/tomorrow, so may check it out again.) And also remember Gimbels -- though we shopped at a Gimbels (in Bridgeport, CT), not the Gimbels.
