Brian Frons is a moron. That. Is. All.

[KLN]

What.

The.

HELL!

Does.

This.

[!@#$%^&*].

Have.

To.

Do.

With.

SOAP OPERAS?!

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Um, can someone tell me how this is soap related?

It's beyond me how BV hasn't fired Frons' ugly ass yet.

[dawn9476]

Nothing at all.

[billyjill]

WTF.

I hate reality shows and I hate Brian Frons.

What ever happened to dramatic programming? You know, where actual stories are told? This is SOAPnet, right? For, oh I don't know, soaps??!

[KLN]

It wouldn't surprise me if SoapNet acquired the rights to reruns of "South Park" next week.

I mean, I "get" that SoapNet is geared towards women, and that there are many different types of programming (other than soaps) that women will watch. However, IMO, that's what LIFETIME is for. Leave SOOOOAAAAPPPNET to air the SOAPS!

[PhoenixRising05]

Wow...what the hell?!

Frons strikes again. Soapnet is dying and it's a shame. Just when others start to get it the network starts to become crap.

[sungrey]

Just like A&E airs Dog The Bounty Hunter, Soapnet airs Fashionista Diaries.

Pardon my language, but Jesus Christ. This has nothing to do with soap. Thanks a lot, Fronsie.

[dragonflies]

Hopefully Rosie O'Donnell quitting the View will get us rid of the "Fronsinator"

I so hope this BOMBS big time

I've been convinced after they acquired ONE TREE HILL and THE OC that they don't really give a damn about what real soaps are.

It seems like every network that caters to a certain market is being turned on its ear to appeal to a broader audience and I don't get it.

VH1 Classic is airing movies, specials, and BBC Crown Jewels Concerts instead of airing a constant, eclectic barrage of music videos.

FUSE(a network I never watched b/c of too much rock music) ais FELICITY. Flippin' FELICITY!!! That show is everything FUSE is against, or so I thought.

GSN, which used to air reruns of classic gameshows including WHEEL and JEOAPRDY, now airs nonstop poker showdowns and MILLIONAIRE repeats. Just as well...the only good things I've ever seen originally produced on that network were the Michael Larson Documentary and FRIEND OR FOE.

And now SOAPnet. A channel that used to cater to my needs that now appeals to every other Joe Blow that will watch everything BUT the same-day soaps on it.

SOAPnet. 2000-2007

My cable provider stopped carrying SOAPnet 11 months ago. At first, I was pissed. But now that Frons is urinating over this network as well, I'm pretty much apathetic.

[Rhiannon]

At least episodes of South Park would be enjoyable.....

I agree that it doesn't belong on SoapNet though.....

I miss the reruns of the classic game shows to on GSN, they've mucked up their schedule somewhat; and it's not as enjoyable as it used to be. I liked watching the older versions of Family Feud (Dawson & Combs) on the weekends, and now they have Richard Karn's version airing on the weekends. I hate seeing game shows on GSN that have recently aired elsewhere in the past.......

Most of all I miss Match Game airing at 10pm Central on the weekdays.....Now instead of an hour of Match Game, they are airing an hour of Family Feud w/Richard Karn ......

I loved Richard Karn as the most recent host of Family Feud, so it's not a problem with him; it's a problem with GSN and their schedule changes.....

I miss Match Game at the right time on GSN and Another World on at all on SoapNet......

[bellcurve]

I thought MATCH GAME did really well with GSN, hence the reason why it was the last one standing among all the others. I did hear a rumor somewhere 80's WHEEL was removed because Pat Sajak hated it.

[Rhiannon]

I thought it did too, now it airs on weekdays at 8AM CT for 30 minutes and 2PM CT for 30 minutes. I know I should feel lucky that it's on at all, but it would be nice if they aired it at times I could actually watch......

[mamasita]

like MTV , it used to be a music video channel in ther 80's.....now is crap
