Members mateo22 Posted February 9, 2007 Members Share Posted February 9, 2007 Well, it might not be bringing in extremely well numbers all around, but it still does pretty good. Last fall's season *finale* (well the last two eppys) both brought in OTH highest numbers ever giving them something like 4 million and some change in viewership. If I'm not mistaken, that was one of the strongest nights for the CW since it's debut. The WB was a *netlet* compared to the 4 biggies and so is the CW...their numbers will prlly never dominate the other 4, but it still does pretty good and I still would be suprised if it wasn't picked back up for at least a 5th and final season.

Members Juliajms Posted February 9, 2007 Members Share Posted February 9, 2007 Thanks. Yeah, I miss Jax and CarJax. You know, they could keep playing Dallas for years to come and I'd never get sick of it. I just have a hard time believing OTH and The OC have that kind of staying power. I really wish they had gotten Santa Barbara. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 A special note from junior: I just want to thank everyone who came in this thread & showed their support for SB. It was nice not being the only one b!tching & moaning here for once. I know you all were just stating your own opinions but as a poster, it made me feel really good that some of you, who've probably never even seen SB, came in here to talk about it. There were definitely more pro-SB posts in here than there would have been 6 months ago. Makes me feel like my crusade is going somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 No problem, juniorz. I've never seen SB, but I want to SO damn badly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 Be sure to check out the Dinner Party Clips I posted on youtube then HoganStays. Some of the best stuff from the later years, and you don't have to know the entire history of the show to follow it. Dinner Party Pt. 1 Dinner Party Pt. 2 Dinner Party Pt. 3 ETA: By the way, if you liked Hogan Sheffer, you'd LOVE the Dobsons (SB's creators & writers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 I'm watching them right now, and I'm really enjoying them so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rhiannon Posted February 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 I miss Dynasty, they got rid of it not long after I finally got SOAPnet........ For a short while I thought that I was lucky, because SOAPnet had started showing Dynasty from the beginning right after I got the channel; so silly me thought I would get to see the show from beginning and enjoy it.....

Members Mason Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 SoapNet's "classic" soaps are becoming a joke. The O.C.? One Tree Hill? Falcon Beach? What's next, Laguna Beach? (wouldn't be surprised at all, at this point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 They could have used that $30 Mil to rebroadcast B&B, which is badly needed IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 I really don't think they'd have enough room to add another current soap to their lineup. Unless they do SOAPnet2, they should leave it at the current 5 and focus on adding more classic *daytime* soaps. What I would like to see for the off-network soaps are classic marathons. Remember last year they aired the ATWT/GL Emmy episodes so it isn't impossible. That would be a nice treat. Hell, I'm still waiting for classic Y&R episodes and they do own rghts to those eppys.

Members Bree Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 Isn't Brian Frons in charge of SoapNet? If so, this explains bringing on soaps that cater to younger viewers, since Frons clearly has no regard for actors over the age of 40. But reruns of shows people can purchase on DVD is not the way to go. Wouldn't it be a better payoff for the channel to get Santa Barbara, Edge of Night, Search for Tomorrow? Hell, if SoapNet got Sunset Beach, that would be a huge deal since it's missed by many fans. I think adding a SoapNet 2 and using that to showcase early seasons of current or recently canceled primetime soaps, reruns of Melrose and BH 90210 as well as original creations is the way to go. Has anyone seen Falcon Beach? It doesn't look that intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frons better do the Emmy Marathons This Year. That was a great way to see what every show had up for grabs, even if it was just one of the two episodes. I remember being so excited, thinking it was literally unprecidented in all of television...the Outstanding Drama Series of any genre of TV having a marathon featuring the show that they got nominated for. It was fierce. It would be like HBO running the Oscar Nominees for Best Picture Back-to-Back for one day only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
