Members dragonflies Posted November 10, 2007 Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 Saw a commercial on Soapnet they're gonna be airing "Sunday Night Movies" starting December 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted November 10, 2007 Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 Real movies, or soap episodes like the two episode GH block? I guess this is more signs that Frons has taken over. I don't understand why they can't switch off showing classics of different soaps each Sunday. Why does it have to always be GH? He needs to get his head out of GH's flopping ass.

Members bellcurve Posted November 10, 2007 Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 OMG ZendallFan, I could not agree more. WTF do movies HAVE to do with soaps...daytime soaps at that? Frons will probably get Varsity Blues and have the ads say, "You loved James Van Der Beek on DAWSON'S CREEK, watch him in this movie!" They probably won't even show movies that Deidre Hall, LaLucci, or other soap stars were in. You know, those DAYTIME soap actors. I completely understand why Blackwell left SOAPnet. Not to mention(on an unrelated note) they haven't even posted a press release or anything for this year's SOAPU contest. I'm willing to bet that was a Blackwell project.

Members dragonflies Posted November 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 Definitely! It'll probably be NOTHING but teen movies ::barf:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 10, 2007 Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 It looks like real movies since they mentioned big movie starts like Julia Roberts and others in the promos. I assume SoapNet could air those TV movies soaps stars have done in the past, since sister-channel and Disney owned network, Lifetime, airs those movies all the time. But it doesn't look likely, since they're advertising big time movie stars in the promos. UGH! Frons continues to screw up SoapNet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted November 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 Pretty soon Soapnet will air everything BUT soaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted November 10, 2007 Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 I didn't think Disney would go the way of Viacom and let one of its channels stand in total contradiction to its original purpose. This is the gateway to joining MTV and VH1, which don't have a thing to do with music anymore, and BET, which hasn't represented the Black community with dignity in years.

Members bellcurve Posted November 10, 2007 Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 Other than Julia Roberts testing for every single soap imaginable, what the hell does SHE have to do with soap operas?! Thanks you AGAIN, Brian Frons for effing up a once great, interesting channel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan4life Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 Frons will probably try to save face by having the star of movie talk about what their favorite soap or storyline is. I'm sorry but they moved the Days marathon to midnight for this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted November 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 Makes you wonder what will happen to the soap marathons on those days..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DevotedToAMC Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 QUOTE (Chris B @ Nov 10 2007, 01:40 PM) I don't understand why they can't switch off showing classics of different soaps each Sunday. Why does it have to always be GH? He needs to get his head out of GH's flopping ass. ICAM....I want to see some relapse episodes of AMC back in the glory days of the late 70s and early 80s and of course the first half of the 90s. Do not let GH have ALL the spotlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kade Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 Let's face it MTV and VH1 hardly show music videos anymore...they've become lifestyle channels and that's probably what SoapNet is hoping to do, broaden from just soap repeats...I don't agree with it but it makes sense...more people will probably tune into "Pretty Woman" on a Sunday night than a Sonnylicious marathon...
