The low ratings Coleridge mentioned for AW, could also stem from when SoapNet tried switching Dallas and AW's time slots awhile back; AW probably lost a lot of viewers due to that mistake. They finally fixed their mistake, but I bet a lot of people who tuned out due to the time slot change never tuned back in........

Count me in as another person who doesn't like Daniel Coleridge........ <_<

He's an awful reporter, I simply can't stand his writing style. He's simply a gossip columnist with lots of focus on himself.

The ratings argument is way off. So what is the standard 14-49 rating Soapnet is getting, heh? A 0.1 probably??? They are a cable network catering to a niche (or at least should be). The news about AW cancellation stinks!

Apparently the new rumor floating in GL and ATWT circles is that deals between Soapnet and P&G for GL and ATWT have failed thus Soapnet canceled AW. I wouldn't be suprised if this is true because since that moron Frons put it out there that he spent $50 million dollars to get OTH and The OC, P&G thought they would take a shot with Frons and failed. Lawd, Frons is an idiot who is going to kill Soaps.

So, SoapNet was trying to acquire the rights to GL and ATWT, and when that fell through, they cancelled AW out of spite? I dunno, something just doesn't seem right about that. I can't imagine Frons giving a crap about adding any shows that aren't ABC related or otherwise teen-oriented. But then again, I wouldn't put anything past that loser.

I don't believe that either. GL is so low rated on CBS, why would SOAPnet want it? And there is no room to add another current soap to their lineup. They are already pushing it with Y&R.

I always assumed that SOAPnet would pick up GL if it were cancelled, but I doubt we will ever see another classic soap on SOAPnet.

I agree...where would they find the room to fit ATWT and GL, unless they were both graveyard shifted and ran only two times a day?!

And I also agree with you about classic soaps on SOAPnet...they are done and over with. As of April 6, 2007, SOAPnet as we know it will no longer exist.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next.

      I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.

      Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol

      Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.
