Wayne Brady Names His Top 5 TV Shows

Agreed on both. With Patrick Duffy wanting back on the show, the options were pretty limited. Either way there was going to be a daytime soap stunt.

Love it or not, you have to admit it was very effective.

26 years later, we are still talking about it.

50 years later, we occasionally talk about You're In The Picture, too.

The show only had one really good season after Bobby came back anyway, not to mention the ratings took a sharper noise-dive after Pam's car crash.  But I digress.

Well, was Gleason's rant not effective?

Certainly. My point is that the reason we talk about it is because it was such utter crappe.

I am getting the vibe from what you have said, and from what I know about you and your love for the show, that you are defending the Bobby Ewing thing. (If I'm wrong, I'm happy to be corrected.) My point is, just because it was legendary enough to still be brought up 25 years after the fact, that does not justify it as good television.

Read my post in the OT thread.

I get your vibe too. Bad TV is still bad TV. Rant or not.
