I'm curious how the visual effects will look for a Ghost Rider series.

Dallas didn't start until 1978 and is usually referenced as an 80's show as it reached its peak ratings during the early part of that decade.

Amazing that CBS had that lineup back then. There's no original programming on Saturday nights now and Fridays are a ghost town; back in the day, they were the biggest nights on TV.

Also Dallas was more of a nighttime soap opera while those above shows were ground-breaking with AITF leading the way. Youngsters could relate to the murderer's row shows, but I doubt Dallas appealed to the same target audience. People had seen soap operas but no one saw the like of an Archie Bunker to that point. Plus the combination of comedy and poignancy in that form was just never seen to that date.

Overall "The Seventies" was not quite as well done as "The Sixties", but it was still great to see. Even the opening artistic montage on the latter was better done, I thought.

No argument there, I just thought they might have referenced the show's genesis.

Your post lead me down a rabbit hole of looking back on network programming schedules in the 80's and 90's. Really interesting to see how networks set up their weeks back then.

Yeah, different ballgame. I forget when Friday started becoming a graveyard, but it seemed liked it coincided with the decline of Dallas as a powerhouse, which might have been the most successful Friday night show ever.

Yeah it was just a 180 from anything ever seen before.

Re: What's good to watch on Netflix

OK Bloodline season 2 had some bumps but it was still a good ride. Very much worth watching, and I can't wait for season 3. (of course I'll have to wait for a renewal)

The poorer half of the Bridges brothers (Beau) is great in a recurring role.

Kevin will irritate the heck out of you
Spoiler
.


David Zayas (Angel- Dexter, Oz) makes everything look easy but that's why he's so good.

Kyle Chandler (who I didn't see in Friday Night Lights) kills it again.

Don't get turned off by SOME reviews. It picks up steam gradually and simmers to a worthy binge watch.
