As expected, no movies. But I did get through most of the SNL 50 special.
I watched:
soaps: Both Fri's ep's.
    Y&R - Nothingburger "Valentine's Day" episode in which Adam, Sharon and it turns out Filis[sic!] have Valentine's Day dreams/fantasies about what they really want. The Filis one was amusing; the other two were appalling. Meh.
    DOOL - Patch and Stephanie play a mean trick on Kayla in which they pretend to have "forgotten" Patch and Kayla's Valentine's Day anniversary. NuSophia (who was better in her second episode, but still isn't a patch on original Sophia) presses her rigid mom on accepting the adoption proposal; Tate stumbles upon this and is pulled in, when NuSophia stars having sharp cramps. At the hospital, they declare Sophia OK. Meanwhile, it's also Johnny and Chanel's anniversary - I missed why, but they go to the hospital, and find out that Chanel has complications from the radiation exposure(?) that may make it difficult for her to conceive. When Tate runs across them, Johnny has an idea about Sophia's baby. (Who didn't see this coming?!) And Holly dresses up all "sexy" for her planned first-time nookie with Tate, but Doug III shows up instead!! We also get old footage of Doug (I) and Julie.
golf - A younger guy by the name of Maverick McNealy vaulted himself into the clear lead on the final day of the Genesis Invitational (this year, played at Torrey Pines). So I bugged out before the end figuring McNealy had it going away... Apparently, I should have stuck around, because at the end, younger Swedish golfer Ludvig Åberg somehow managed to sneak into the lead to win the tournament! That'll teach me about assuming a golf tourney is over before it is!
SNL 50 - I didn't see all of this - I saw the end of the first airing, and the first 3(!)-hours of the second airing, so I maybe missed some of the last 15-20 minutes of this.
    But, while it wasn't the show's best skits, I enjoyed the overall nostalgia ("Coffee Talk" lady is back!), and most of the "celebrity cameos" (not Baldwin!  >:/ ), in the special.
    One thing is for sure - a number of the old timers (I never did see Chevy Chase or Jane Curtin) still have it, esp. Eddie Murphy! Get this guy his own show!!
