The third season is a lot like... something like... something liken to, say... a fan-fiction series... And it would be fans of the first two seasons who are fans of a show about... actually about... women's wrestling... which is completely gone at this point... And that fan gets an idea, like, "Hey, what if these wonderful characters went to... VEGAS! YES!!!"

At one point during the rudimentary stages of rehearsing the Vegas show in the previous episode, Sam's going over the steps, and he says, "and wrestle... wrestle... wrestle..." as if he were basically brushing it off as something on the periphreal, and the sad thing is, that's what's happened here...

As a fan it's still a great show; however I think wrestling should have been more important, and getting prepared for a live Vegas show isn't as suspenseful as getting ready for something televised, and that HAS TO BE GOOD OR ELSE...

There's simply no more OR ELSE here... It's really become a kind of Wrestling Show version of another 80's staple, CHEERS, with Sam... perfectly named... and the cute but klutzy, brainy, over-thinking Diane... or rather, Ruth... The entire season is more about them almost hooking up than all the girls having their own particular problems... It's no longer an ensemble... Not really..

Anyhow, re-watching this series means that once you get to this season, it's like basking in the GLOW (like that?) of what's already shined.

When you watch the first two season of the series, you enjoyed the experience and even felt like you were watching a part of people you knew. But something has went wrong in this third season as it feels like these people are nearly brand new and you are being introduced to them for the first time. Things have changed and not for the better.

The only thing that was even remotely interesting was the relationship between Ruth and Sam. But the writers tried to force the viewer into other relationships by showing sex scenes, with others, trying to produce some interest. Get back to the fun of the series. Get back to what makes the some interesting--The Women. It's turning into Payton Place- and that was cancelled many years ago.

Up until this point the whole thing feels like the kind of spinoff that needs diehard fans to get through it. It offers everything you've come to love about the series, but it's lost it's centerpiece which was a failing tv-show with a ridiculous theme. It's not about a casino hotel that's little more than the glamerous background for a plot that for the past 2 episodes has barely left classic soap territory.

The writing is no longer top-notch, and the cast can't pull it off on their own.It's like watching them driving a rollercoaster, screaming and yelling and laughing and crying, while you can see the damn thing waiting in the station.

This should be a lot better.
