Miss Joan Crawford Makes TV History This Fall On CBS In Her Very First Weekly Series, "Port Prentice"!!

I heard there's a really epic hair-pulling scene between Joan and Olivia over bragging rights in episode 2

bump

What, no role for long-suffering Joan Crawford co-star/starlet Diane Baker?

Fail

I'm looking forward to sweeps month and the arrival of Ruth Roman into Port Prentice.

I hear Joan slaps her face viciously, yelling, "I'll do anything for those kids — and I do mean ANYTHING!"

I get this show confused with the Paula Prentiss Hour.

Are we sure this isn't the latest iteration of a Lucille Ball show?

Joan is FIERCE in the previews for the upcoming episode where she tells special guest star Lucy Marlowe, "If you walk out that door...don't plan on coming back through it." And I hear the vicious face slapping that follows tops the epic slap in "Queen Bee"! Mother may not care for it but I know what station our Zenith will be tuned to Friday nights at ten!

r7 Haven't you heard of inspiration?!

r4 You do better. My threads come first in this house!

Maybe if you were clever OP it would be a fun thread.

Season finale/cliffhanger: Christina Crawford appears as jetsetting superbitch Desiderata de la Darrieux.

Look at Imogene Coca at R11!

I'd tune in.

My mom won't watch because she said if it's not on DuMont it ain't worth watching.

There have been rumors of tension between Miss Crawford and the producers over what they feel is an excessive amount of product placement for Pepsi Cola products.

As long as there's no epic hair-pulling scene with George Maharis, we're gonna be okay.

All summer, everyone will be asking "Who shot Desiderata?"

And everyone will have the same answer.

A scandal bigger than the "Rust" scandal is touched off when, hours before filming, real bullets are discovered in the gun Joan is to use to shoot Christina. The resulting fallout saves the series from budget cuts and earns Christina a permanent role in the series. The only downside is that they lose the story arc where Joan's maid, Beulah (Ruby Dandridge) informs on a BLM chapter in Port Prentice, to make room for the Joan/Desiderata fireworks.

I loved when Joan told Joan Collins, "This is burned. This Coca-Cola. It's burned. That's why I drink PEPSI COLA!"

I like the way Joan Crawford says Port PurrenTISSSSS

Any truth to the rumor that Clark Gable will soon be guest-starring in a multi-episode arc as an old flame of Joan's?

Yes r23. Originally she wanted Billy Haines. But she was talked out of that.

Ratings were so/so the first season. Knowing that she needs this to be a hit, Joan is preparing to start season two with a bang…….her first FULL FRONTAL NUDE scene.

Now we will finally know, does the carpet match the eyebrows?

"her first FULL FRONTAL NUDE scene."

You didn't hear it from me, but her first full frontal nude scene was in a stag film and she made many of those. Full frontal nudity is old hat to Joan. Hell, I'm surprised she's not being spit-roasted for ratings.

OP- You forgot to mention that the VERY special guest star in the premiere episode will be none other than

HELEN LAWSON

The credits included the first TRIPLE PIVOT in television history.

The ratings are soft. Even the DLers are tuning out. The producers thought that if they could work just one epic, hair-pulling catfight into every episode, they'd have a guaranteed viewership for multiple seasons. Not so!

R, Couri Hay reports that the network is frantically trying to find someone to break the news to Joan that they're revamping the series to appeal to "a younger audience"!

Not nearly as fresh as Gang Way for Lucy!

Production is wondering why we have to provide her with a limo to take her to the limo.

Mamacita said it's part of the standard Star Contract for Miss Crawford.
