Members joe1988 Posted July 13, 2007 Members Share Posted July 13, 2007 I know GL usually gets a year by year renewal and I was thinking that the two P&G shows are usually renewed together. When do the two shows next come up for renewal, and do you think they will be renewed with both falling in the ratings? Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UKBoi Posted July 13, 2007 Members Share Posted July 13, 2007 I dont know when they are getting renewed, but I think GL's Emmy win this year, as well as their wins last year, means they're safe for now. The show seems to be in (arguably) better shape now as well. ATWT, on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted July 14, 2007 Members Share Posted July 14, 2007 March of 2008 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members psychofan Posted July 15, 2007 Members Share Posted July 15, 2007 I could care less what happens to GL...I can take it or leave it. ATWT on the other hand, I'd be hurt if it were cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 15, 2007 Members Share Posted July 15, 2007 GL and ATWT are a packaged deal with P&G and CBS. If one goes, the other will go too. P&G is not going to produce just one show and they've never been too happy about selling any of their shows to the networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 15, 2007 Members Share Posted July 15, 2007 Yup, either March or April. I wonder if the rumors are true. That CBS wants to shorten ATWT and GL to half hours shows. I wouldnt mind that one bit. If it keeps ATWT from cancellation. I am all for it. And isnt a 30 min soap cost less than a full hour soap? They could save money right there.

Members Adam Posted July 15, 2007 Members Share Posted July 15, 2007 It worries me that despite months of fan outcry, and months of record low ratings at ATWT Jean Passanante still seems to be safely entrenched in that headwriter's chair....

Members Soapsuds Posted July 15, 2007 Members Share Posted July 15, 2007 Yup, espcially if JP knows ATWT will survive in the 30 min format. Why fire her!!!*^()(&(^%%*&^*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted July 15, 2007 Members Share Posted July 15, 2007 I don't think the Emmys will factor into their decision to renew or not. It all comes down to money and Emmy's don't bring in money. Ratings determine what advertisers pay and when they want to advertise their products.

Members RogerNewcomb Posted July 15, 2007 Members Share Posted July 15, 2007 ATWT tells fewers stories during an episode than they used to, probably because they can't afford to pay more actors for those shows. Whatever the reason, the show would probably be better at 30 minutes in the current incarnation. Some days I fill like conversations go on and on an on. 30 minutes would allow the characters to make their points without being repetitive within the same episode. I would think both shows would have to cut a lot of cast though to make it as a 30 minute show. Half the commercials to pay for cast and crew.

Members jacks Posted July 16, 2007 Members Share Posted July 16, 2007 yea i think they were renewed a few months ago so that would make since. where did you hear that 30 min. rumour. it actually could be more expensive to have two 30 min. soaps rather than hour long ones. i remember some other people on the board articulating the economics of it.

Members Kendall Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 Both GL&ATWT are up for renewal THIS month so we should be getting info on both shows soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheyenne Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 I wouldn't mind 30 min either. I think it works great with B&B. And as you said, if it keeps ATWT on air, I'm all for it.Agree. B&B has almays been moving pretty fast because they simply have too. And it's so great to watch a soap that's actually going forward. I don't think ATWT is that bad though. It could be worse like DAYS during the JER area. It was ridiculous how slow that show was back then. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
