Again With This: Dawson's, Melrose, 90210

Michael is the pivot point for virtually everyone in the A plot. He helps Taylor cover up her non-pregnancy after a fortuitous fall down the jazz club's eponymous stairs. He hassles Megan so much that he drives her into Eric's arms. He takes an idle conversation with Coop about surgical tools and turns it into a proposal to develop a new device AND lets Jennifer pitch him on tricking Craig into backing it with Sydney's insurance money instead of blowing it on a cruise. But Michael's not the only one screwing Coop over: Peter is so fired up with love for Lexi that he takes it upon himself to steal Coop's financial records in order to assist her in her divorce machinations. Billy finally decides to listen to Sam the 400th time she tells him to depart Maryland and leave her alone, but his goodbye convinces her that she doesn't belong there either, and she comes home to (a) reunite with him and (b) interview for the graphic artist job he's trying to fill at Amanda's new agency. Make sure you are safely planted before listening to our podcast on "The Light At The End Of The Tumble"!

Still reeling from Sam’s shock departure at the end of the last episode, Billy takes time off from The AWA at the worst possible time to follow a hunch and locate her in Maryland, working at her mother Kate’s restaurant. Though Kate’s longtime employee Ernie seems kindly disposed toward Billy, he admits that Kate still feels guilty about mistakes she made in Sam’s childhood (edging us ever closer to confirmation that Jim sexually abused Sam), and may be overcompensating in her protectiveness of Sam now. Counterpoint to Ernie: it’s Billy. At the same time, Sydney’s father has come to L.A. to see Craig. He’s about to hand off something too significant to mail when a heedless Jennifer flounces out in her underwear and one of Craig’s shirts and Mr. Andrews decides maybe he never needs to see Craig again, actually. Can Jennifer smooth things over with her former distant in-law? As for everyone else: it’s just one romance crisis after another. Kyle is jealous of Amanda’s relationship with Eric, and only grows more so when Eric shows up in Los Angeles unannounced. Peter and Lexi are getting closer, but for the sake of her divorce settlement, they have to see each other in secret. And Taylor is still extremely horny for Michael, and at the most inopportune times. No need for you to get desperate seeking our podcast on “Desperately Seeking Samantha”: it’s right here!

A Carol Christmas on YouTube

AWAWT 098: Let's Read About Tiffani Thiessen, Cover Girl Of Teen Magazine's December 1994 Issue!

In December 1994, Tiffani(-Amber) Thiessen was about halfway through her first season as Valerie Malone, working alongside her longtime on-and-off boyfriend Brian Austin Green, and Teen Magazine HAD to know how that was going! We briefly discuss her brief cover profile before getting into the rest of the issue -- how guys want you to dress and style your hair; what your horoscope can predict about what 1995 will be like for you; whether your Wind Song stays on his mind; and much much more!

AWAWT 077: Let's Watch Dina Meyer, Patrick Muldoon, AND Ian Ziering In Christmas In Palm Springs!

Joe (Patrick Muldoon) is a free-spirited drama teacher-turned-playwright estranged from his marketing-professional wife Jessica (Dina Meyer) because he's immature, unreliable, and always forces her to be the responsible killjoy parent to their cloyingly precocious children. CAN THIS MARRIAGE BE SAVED? Specifically: can the storybook town of Palm Springs (and a literal angel named Gabriel, played by a slumming Bill Cobbs) save a marriage that should definitely end?

Show Notes

Christmas In Palm Springs on Peacock

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The organizers of a medical conference in Santa Barbara had NO IDEA their event was going to be a flashpoint for so much drama! First, Coop tries to get Michael to go and gets turned down flat. Then Megan tries to get Michael to agree to more therapy, so he claims he has to go to this conference and absolutely cannot get out of it! Then Coop tells Lexi he's not going to be able to see her when she comes to L.A., because he's going to, guess what, this conference. So when she says she'll just track him down there, he gets Peter to go in his place. Michael is delighted to hear that his wife has come to the hotel to surprise him...until he sees that it's actually Taylor, still looking for him to knock her up -- which is why things get complicated when his actual wife actually ALSO comes to surprise him, but Taylor will not let Megan interrupt their procreative schedule! At the same time, Peter happens to meet a gorgeous redhead who's loitering around the hotel seeming frustrated.... In Los Angeles, Amanda and Billy's business business business business plans are still going great, while Craig is scrambling to reassure the financiers he suddenly has that everything is okay. Jennifer makes Kyle feel guilty by association that Amanda is busting out Craig's business, so Kyle turns right around and makes Amanda feel so guilty that she actually offers him a job. Meanwhile, a manic Sam confesses to Billy that she was the one who leaked sensitive business (business business business) intel to Craig. Can they get past this and on to the next phase of their relationship? And do they even agree on what that phase should be? Get all in on our podcast about "The Doctor Is In...Deep"!

Christmas At Tiffani's on CookingChannel.TV

🌆

Spin City S04.E12: "My Dinner With Caitlin" on PlutoTV (where it's called E13)

Coop has not only taken Michael up on his invitation to join the medical practice -- he brings in a contractor to start talking about knocking down walls before he's even met Peter! Who by the way isn't thrilled to have this development sprung on him. Michael has MANY problems other than his business partner's rage: Megan gets him to enter couples' therapy, where they are challenged not to lie to each other for 48 whole hours. And: Taylor's plan to get artificially inseminated goes off the rails due to a problem at the sperm bank. Wherever will she find more sperm before she's done ovulating?! Peter also has some other plots cooking: after Amanda mentioned in passing that she might want to start her own new ad agency, Peter's enlisted Billy to come up with a prospectus, and believes that if he can just give Amanda the money to get it off the ground, she'll fall in love with him again for sure. Not thrilled with this plan: Sam, who is worried about what Craig will do if he suffers another huge loss. And she's not alone. No need to fill out a withdrawal slip: our podcast on "No Time For Sperm Banks" is here!

 🏠 Desperate Housewives S03.E10: "The Miracle Song" on Hulu 

For obvious reasons, Amanda is trying to void the lease that Taylor signed with Matt; for equally obvious reasons, she's annoyed that Kyle doesn't seem to care where Taylor lives or what she does. Then Amanda overhears Peter yelling at Taylor about her pregnancy, and tells Kyle about it. And when Kyle asks Taylor about it, she says that not only is it true...but that Kyle must be the father because Peter is sterile. Obviously, Peter is not thrilled that this rumor about him is going around the complex, until Taylor tells him that they can use this lie to break up Kyle and Amanda and reunite with their original partners. Coop has arranged for his extremely offscreen fancy surgeon friend to operate on Michael's hands; Jennifer uses this potentially dangerous moment in Michael's life to manipulate Megan into spending time with him again. It's lucky for Coop that everyone's too self-involved to notice how much attention he is paying to everything anyone says about Michael in his presence. Craig is still raw from the loss of Sydney, though not so raw that he isn't still going to the office of his new fake company to half-ass his job. Not even Jennifer's grief-inspired sexual surrogacy can get him back on track, so -- mere days after they all left and collapsed D&D -- Amanda's former employees would like her to perform a hostile takeover of Sky High and hire them all back, please. And who knows: Craig might even appreciate that too, if it gives him more time to plot against Sam. Rejoice: we're flying in with our podcast on "The Trojan Stork"!

 🎄 Falling For Christmas on Netflix 

Wilshire Memorial has always been a flashpoint for drama, and that has never been more true than in our Season 6 premiere. Peter is still in Carmel, sorting out his feelings about Taylor's pregnancy and making a huge decision. Michael is entering into a devil's bargain with Jennifer, so that she'll convince her new roomie Megan not to turn against Michael. Matt has decided to do his residency at a teaching hospital in San Francisco, where Michael conveniently has a hookup. And Dr. Brett Cooper relocates from Cleveland to Los Angeles, apparently for the sole purpose of avenging Kimberly's death. Then there's the fallout from the Season 5 finale car crash: a couple of people are dead (one no one will mourn, and one we ALL will), and a lot of feelings are hurt. Kyle and Amanda have managed not to screw things up between them in the 12 hours or so they've spent boning all over her apartment, but now she has to go to New York and turn down that other job in person, because she got the hookup from her old mentor, who does NOT react well to the news that Amanda's ditching him in favor of another dude back home. Wipe the sleep from your eyes (or just roll over and listen to your headphones): it's our podcast on "A Brand New Day"!
