Members Marco Dane Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 I would have made more sense if the show was 1 hour and just 2 days a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 :'( That's only 1 hour worth of new content a week. I fear that this isn't going to be good for the soap format... I'll try to stay optimistic and just thank PP for continuing to air the show at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapgirluk Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 Also from reading fb/twitter etc it seems there's still people only just finding out there back & starting to watch. With it being such a new idea i'd have thought 3 weeks isnt enough time to judge it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 The thing is, they seemed to be doing pretty well. At least according to all the numbers released. I can understand trying to dissuade binge viewing up to a point but I don't really buy it. I think they need to stick with what they've got.

Members ChitHappens Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 Which is why I believe it has more to do with finances. Three weeks is certainly NOT enough time to measure a soap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 Maybe this way the shows will run year round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 If this plan fails I am sure they will revert to the original plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 Okay, I'm back. [!@#$%^&*]. That's all I got. Just...[!@#$%^&*]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Winchester91 Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 Then, maybe they should just consolidate the week's episodes into 2 hour long affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 If anything, they'll just cut back again to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 You mean, one hour for AMC and one for OLTL? That might not be a bad idea. They'd become more like the primetime soaps. But, I don't trust the current production regimes to know how to revamp their respective shows that way. In the end, Susan Lucci might have played it smart to remain non-commital about returning.

Members alexisfan07 Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 Wtf! This doesn't sound good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 Maybe production is taking longer on the episodes are they dont think they will produce 168 this year. I think OLTL wanted 40 episodes completed by the end of their first cycle and MA said they only got 20 some episodes completed. I think AMC only shot 12 its first cycle as well. I think the idea was to shoot two episodes a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 16, 2013 Members Share Posted May 16, 2013 I just don't understand what the problem is with binge viewing. I think they're overthinking the numbers. I also think it may have to do with production turnaround to air and giving themselves some distance, which is understandable. I'd be surprised if this stands for long. I think they'll try it and revert back, frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
