It Was Awful!

Warning: Spoilers
I remember this show. It was terrible.

Richard Dean Anderson, Drake Hogestyn, Peter Horton, they were all just cookie cutters of the same character with different hair color and a name. Nothing distinctive about any of them.

When Hogestyn ventured to Days of Our Lives, his 'character' on this show was described as the most 'taciturn'.

What is that? That's a characterization? Why not say, the moodiest? Or the quickest temper? It says nothing about a person.

I remember one truly awful episode when one of the brothers (like it mattered) was dating a girl, going to marry her. Her name was Tally (think the worst comment imaginable and that is how I remembered her name).

Hogestyn's brother said he knew this girl from her sordid past (his too apparently). And they broke up. That was the drama.

Scenes from the next episode, now Hogestyn was the over-wrought brother as he had to face some dilemma, whereas this episode, he had been the all-knowing brother with the younger one's dilemma.

Oh, it was terrible.

I remember a program about TV shows on CBS and we see the producer of this, I guess, on the phone, CRYING, because his show, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, had been picked up by the network.

I knew it was rubbish. I wondered how much he cried after it was cancelled so quickly? I had a schoolteacher like this show. She was endlessly slipping it into teaching lessons.

Use the word 'excellent' in a sentence.

"Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is an excellent show." I know one classroom that made sure they never saw it.
