Members Soapsuds Posted October 8, 2015 Members Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Even back then Frons was an awful decision maker. Capitol was an awful soap. SFT was so much better. 1981-1982 1.

Members NothinButAttitude Posted October 8, 2015 Members Share Posted October 8, 2015 Why did Frons cancel SFT? Was it because like ATWT and GL, it typically skewed to older, conservative audiences? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members danfling Posted October 9, 2015 Members Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) NBC did NOT cancel Search for Tomorrow. In fact, they wanted it to continue for a few more months until they had a suitable replacement show for the daytime schedule. It was Procter and Gamble which decided that they did not want to begin 1987 in the red. They felt the cancellation would solve that problem, and it was they they refused NBC's request to continue the show until NBC was satisfied with the show to replace it. I tried to delete the above post, but I was unable to do so. I apologize. I thought you were talking about the NBC cancellation.

Members edgeofnik Posted December 20, 2015 Members Share Posted December 20, 2015 I remember reading - back in the day - because SFT was not on in STL, where I lived at the time - that CBS decided they wanted to do something 'new' rather than give SFT, yet another facelift. The hype was that Capitol was going to be the "Dallas" of daytime - getting the primetime launch and opening credits that tried to minimic Dallas. I remember watching it and thinking this show is definitely NOT all that. It had it's moments, but knowing what I know now, CBS gave up a solid show that was pretty compatible with ATWT/GL. (Similar to the way they botch TEON, which was #2 until the timeslot change and then sent to ABC. CBS got nervous when ABC overtook it and lost sight of the fact that their solid line-up was its biggest asset, even though it was 'older.' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 21, 2016 Members Share Posted February 21, 2016 Does anyone know the airdate of this episode? I thought I'd seen all the SFT episodes on Youtube but missed this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted February 22, 2016 Members Share Posted February 22, 2016 I don't think I have seen this episode before, so I cannot help you with the original air-date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 22, 2016 Members Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) I'm reuploading these again, slowly, if anyone wants to see them (if you see other copies they took those from when I used to have them on my old Steph Stokes channel - sadly the channel I got them from is long gone). This one is my favorite of all of them, probably - Liza and Sherry just break my heart. Edited February 22, 2016 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
