Members ~bl~ Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Are they showing both shows first AMC than OLTL at one and then repeating the same two episodes at 3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Ron and SID That a soap magazine person is actually complaining about something that should pay dividends for their magazine and the industry tells you about how desiccated this genre has become.

Members alexisfan07 Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 No "Half-hour episodes of each show will air Monday through Thursday beginning Monday, July 15 with “All My Children” at 1 p.m. ET/PT and “One Life to Live” at 3 p.m. ET/PT only on OWN.

Members Vee Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Far be it from me to defend Ron Carlivati at this point, but I'm not sure they're complaining about the shows so much as they are being bitchy about Oprah and missing the forest for the trees. Of course, coming from Ron who has not deigned to comment on anything OLTL since all things OLTL slipped from his creative control, this being how he breaks his silence is just lousy. And that's not even getting into how they tried to turn the relish wars into them vs. PP. "You can have the name, but it won't be the real Pickle Lila!" It's just sad.

Members ~bl~ Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Thanks Vee for the clarification, someone elsewhere was saying that is how it was going to work which didn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 All I want is my grassroots profanity effort, people. That's the only thing that can make the last 24 hours better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 I've been holding off on emailing Jeff K. because I don't want to be one of those viewers they talk about on the set but I'll send one. PP = Prospect Park and Pro Profanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 I never do that sort of thing - or at least, I haven't since Bianca was raped ten years ago - but I did in this specific case and it wasn't a crazy email. I pretty much said the realistic language and sexuality was the gateway drug to acclimating the traditional older audience to more progressive storytelling for minorities, GLBT characters, etc. Mr. Giddens on occasion has a good idea - having Tika Sumpter be part of a launch special for the shows on OWN. I also wouldn't mind seeing Debbi and Darnell, Erika Slezak, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 For me, this is the biggest takeaway from his comments. He has ignored these shows and hasn't said one thing about the reboot, and this is how he starts? Still, he's irrelevant to this. Oprah made a mistake, but everybody makes mistakes. She now see's how well soaps are working on her network and has doubled The Have or Have Not's order and if this does well, this could be a destination for soaps now. How is it any different from sticking with ABC, even though they canceled two soaps? Or CBS which canceled several soaps? What is important is what is happening NOW. Everything goes out of style and comes back. I just hope the timeslot is good and that these shows do well. I do think they should've aired the two shows back-to-back thoughl.

Members UKBoi Posted June 26, 2013 Members Share Posted June 26, 2013 Anyone who sees this as anything other than a good thing is retarded. This is great news for both soaps, and I am sure they will be able to bring in the viewers to OWN and thus guarantee their futures. Hell, the production values already are a million times better than The Haves and the Have Nots and the acting is on a par if not slightly better. I just hope they promote the hell out of these shows and get a real buzz around them, and also put them in a decent time slot. I actually think it would be a really good idea for them to put them on twice a day, in the morning and again late at night (with more swear words etc) to open the shows up to a whole new audience.
