As a diehard Law & Order fan who has seen every episode, I hope that it gets renewed for another season. But the truth is that the next truly interesting era of the show will probably not happen until Dick Wolf is out of the picture. It needs a from-the-ground-up rethink.

I did not! This one is so old that I was still a staff writer in the TV section. I did work with Ryan briefly when I became an editor--I think he contributed features to EW as late as 1994.
The main thing I remember--I think I'm right about this--is that AB was pissed off when it ran.
He's doing thirst the right way!
It is my sad duty to give half of Bluesky a stroke by sharing this Hollywood Reporter headline and subhead. Please note in particular the two words following "unlikely."
If. You. Dare.
I think Fonda herself made the difference clearest when she said something on the order of, if you marry Ted Turner, your entire job is being Ted Turner's wife.
I love all these people who are inveighing against the 24-hour news cycle and its evils. You know you're on Bluesky, right? Don't pretend this is anything but a group home for those who are addicted to the drip-drip-drip of information and discourse.
Oh...I would have happily sat in the corner and just watched and listened.
BTW, Fonda writes with candor and deep thoughtfulness about what she calls her "subsumation" to Turner ("the only person I know who has had to apologize more than I have") in her 2005 autobiography My Life So Far, which I can't recommend highly enough.
Here's a good thread (by someone who's mad at my take on Ted Turner) listing some of his positive achievements. There is no arguing with the fact that he cared deeply about (certain aspects of) America and the world in a way that his descendants, whose sole allegiance is to wealth, do not.
No problem and thank you for so much great music.
I think pretty much everyone understands that I'm not.
A quick education on what CNN was in the early '90s.

Trump, in his post about Ted Turner's death, claims that "woke" was "everything that he is not all about."
Yes, the same Ted Turner who was married to Jane Fonda, wanted universal healthcare, was a staunch environmentalist, called pro-lifers "bozos," and accused Israel of terror against Palestine.
Most of you will hate this, but Turner inventing CNN was a legacy accomplishment and a net positive; he was one of the first people to understand that the world was too big and moved too fast for people to wait for a brief summary of events on the 6:30 p.m. news.
Malone loves power; I don't think he loves the spotlight.
The most damning thing I can say is that Turner's direct media-cultural heirs are David Zaslav and Jeff Bezos. That's not his fault, but also, it kind of is.
Ted Turner had an instinct for mergers, a lot of charm, an inhuman level of self-confidence, AND a wildly overinflated sense of what he could pull off, and if I were to pick a single deal that represented all of those qualities, it would be "I think I can turn Jane Fonda into a trophy wife."
