Roger/Damon,
ReplyDeleteYou do realize that "Imperfect Angels" is a PORN series?!! I just clicked on the link and got a big eyeful.
Yes, it definitely is a porn series, I did the same thing as my friend there!
ReplyDeleteI love how OLTL's viewing figures keep going up week on week! It just shows how great the show is at the moment. I wish abc would just admit they made a mistake and 'cancel' the cancellation. Believe me, we would think so much more of them if they did! For heavens sake, they are cancelling their current best rated show!!!! How does that make sense??!! It just annoys me so much when a show like OLTL (and AMC to a certain extent) get cancelled while on another network utter rubbish like DOOL just keeps on going! (I am also still bitter about the loss of Guiding Light, by the way!)
