Members Fevuh Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 Santa Barbara was "known" to have a HYOOOOGE international audience as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 21, 2017 Members Share Posted April 21, 2017 And look how long that soap lasted. B&B needs a major overhaul. They need a new Head Writer but that will never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted April 22, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted April 22, 2017 SB was never at the top half of the ratings and was never a family-run soap. It's not comparable to B&B at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted April 22, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted April 22, 2017 I don't believe they ever owned, or had majority ownership, since they got locked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skiman12082004 Posted April 22, 2017 Members Share Posted April 22, 2017 The Dobson's owned Santa Barbara until they sold it to New World Television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted April 22, 2017 Members Share Posted April 22, 2017 Soapsuds u are ridiculous with your b and b bashing. It makes millions in international.revenue..those ratings are still good higher then some other shows. Brad Bell has been there over 25 years hes not going anywhere. Oh Santa Barbata never had B and B ratings or was an international.smash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 22, 2017 Members Share Posted April 22, 2017 I know what was I thinking....GH will be canceled way before B&B. Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fevuh Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 To some of you - B&B and Santa Barbara and the situation is really similar in my opinion. Santa Barbara was always very popular overseas, compared to their ratings in the U.S. B&B has done well here, but the popularity here is going down the tubes, but it's still doing well overseas. No one here though is going to continue to produce this show if the ratings in the U.S. go down the tubes. We're not going to produce this show for airing overseas just because it's doing well elsewhere. Santa Barbara - and I never watched it, but here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Barbara_(TV_series Of the soaps that aired here in the U.S. at the time, it was the "flashy" one. B&B counts and depends on being flashy. You might want to see what Santa Barbara did overseas and it still bit it. I do have beef with B&B to be honest - because Capitol was always sandwiched between ATWT and Guiding Light. B&B has always followed either Y&R or Local News in some markets. B&B has been given awesome fabulous Lead-In ratings since their beginning...and they lost lead-in ratings unlike any show ever. If it had been a Primetime show - it would have been cancelled or moved to another timeslot given what lead-in they have ALWAYS lost. B&B has been EXTREMELY fortunate over the years, given their older skewing Demos from the beginning. So I guess good for them. But it's comin' to roost now.

Administrator Toups Posted April 23, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'm not worried about B&B - everyone's demos are going lower and lower. It will at least air for another 5 years on CBS. But once CBS cancels the show, Brad Bell will move it somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 They(CBS) screwed ATWT by moving it. I am sure CBS knew none of the soaps were fairing well at the 2:30 timeslot so they moved ATWT thirty minutes later. Although it didn't hurt ATWT but didn't improve B&B numbers which debut to low numbers to its canceled replacement Capitol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fevuh Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 I had no idea Brad Bell had so much money. To pay actors, actresses and and entire company of production, hair, makeup, etc....for them not to air in the United States but just keep the ship going to air overseas. I didn't know they had that much money. Interesting. When CBS is done with this show, the show will be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 Yeah, even Bradley Bell has said B&B's international reputation means little when it comes to keeping his show on the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 On that logic, the same should happen at GH. Down over 400,000 viewers on last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
