Members psychofan Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 I know exactly how you feel with your two point of views. I feel the same way, but I think that for the finale on NBC (if it DOES go to Fox), then many things WILL be wrapped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nassaunew Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 Playing devil's advocate Why would Fox be trying to get into the soap opera business when other networks are trying to get rid of soaps because of lower viewership and revenues?

Members JER Soaps Fan Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 Maybe becuase Fox is actually SMART and realizes the other nets just aren't trying? Edit: They may have also read [!@#$%^&*]'s comments about the genre and saw the passion and with that, "they saw the light." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members psychofan Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 I'm hoping that ABC and CBS also saw the light. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 FOX would be the perfect network for [s.W.S.N.B.N.] to start a new soap. Lord knows Fox isn't afraid to take a risk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nassaunew Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 LOL Next question, why would NBC want the daytime competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 My only fear is, "Could 'PASSIONS' BE a Fox soap?" Perhaps, as a soap viewer for so long, we've been trained and conditioned to believe certain things: that the ABC soaps are about social issues, the average to ugly ones are on CBS and the hot but mostly untalented ones are on NBC. Similarly, ABC's realistic, CBS is pretty realistic and classy and NBC is supernatural, campy fluff. Certainly, these are just stereotypes and I disagree with some of them, well, aspects of them. Anyway, "Passions" is SO NBC. It's like you can't even imagine it on another network. For some reason, it just IS NBC. I just can't see it on Fox. "PASSIONS, on Fox Daytime!!" Um, wha? hmm... That sounded...weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 27, 2007 Administrator Share Posted January 27, 2007 Maybe FOX wants Passions' younger viewers? They are still doing very well in the younger demos. FOX could maybe put PSNS at 3pm or 4pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 But the question remains, Rick, could "Passions" ever BE a Fox soap? Or a Fox show? It's like trying to imagine "All My Children" on CBS or NBC. It can't be done. That's my fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 I can picture Passions on Fox, easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DAYSisHOT Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 I think Passions and FOX would be a good fit also. I hope they do pick up the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 It would be a good fit but I don't see it happening. I would be happy if it did and, if it did happen, I would hope a new HW was a part of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted January 27, 2007 Members Share Posted January 27, 2007 I could see PASSIONS on Fox, but NBC would never sell to them (or any other non-cable network). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nassaunew Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 Old Passions? No Passions - Summer 2006 until now? Yes PSNS has become very sexual and violent, which is how I think gels with FOX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 I agree. When I think of "Passions" and Fox, for some reason I think of '99, good ol' days "Passions." And that is definitely NOT a Fox show. But when you think of it now, sex, sex, sex, rape, rape, rape, power, power, power, sibling rivalry==yeah. It'd work.
