Members dragonflies Posted December 3, 2007 Members Share Posted December 3, 2007 From the new tv guide: Next week, Frons tells us about his plans for spin offs of OLTL and Y&R IMO speaks volumes at AMC's future. RIP AMC.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 3, 2007 Members Share Posted December 3, 2007 How the hell would he have authority to have a Y&R spin-off? I have a feeling this is why Josh Griffith went FiCore now. Remember, Guza's work on Night Shift wasn't covered by the WGA, it was covered by another union. Anyway, I didn't care for Night Shift and I'm not interested in anymore primetime spin-offs. And yes, Frons clearly has something against AMC, I don't know why...

Members AddictedToSoaps Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hmm. Well, I wouldn't object to more soap spinoffs I guess. As long as it's done well, it's fine by me. I wish he would give AMC a shot, AMC doesn't deserve the treatment he gives it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 I wonder if these one-hour weekly "spinoffs" will actually be the future of some of these shows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 glad he gave AMC & Days the shaft, they both deserve it and are in no state for a spin off. Y&R isnt in a good place either, but i could see them working many spin off's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 I'm not a fan of the soap spin off, it usually ends up being a watered down version of the original show. I don't know why Y&R would ever consider getting into bed, creatively, with that son of a bitch Brian Frons. It is very possible that Griffith went Fi Core for a proposed spin off...I'm still thinking that he's going to end up working at Sony as an exec, but never say never.

Members Chris B Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 Just because Night [!@#$%^&*] was crap doesn't mean the others will be. I just have to hope that the writers of future spin-offs have a clear plan and create a new show, not a sixth episode of an existing show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xtr Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 I agree that AMC does not deserve a spin off, the show is horrible right now, and I don't think that many people would watch a spin off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 Wow, Frons is dropping AMC like a hot potato. So, a OLTL spin-off, huh? Sounds interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 On the contrary, AMC does deserve a spin-off… then they can dump all the annoying characters on there so we won’t have to see them everyday on the actual show. You’re happy Frons is sabotaging AMC? Nice Maybe if he didn't, OLTL's ratings would be better (as AMC is the lead-in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 How is that possible? It's a one-hour drama for cable that isn't reality or animation. Sounds like it should be a WGA-covered show. Where did it say it wasn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 I recall Night Shift being on the cheap, so that doesn't surprise me. Not sure how they got around the guild though. Do cable writers *have* to be signed to the Guild? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NYC123 Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 I do not think AMC desevres this crap. AMC made ABC looks so spectacular from 1990-2005. For you just not care Frons is stupid! OLTL should not be made into a spin off. Look at there ratings also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 QUOTE (Chris B @ Dec 7 2007, 03:58 PM) I recall Night Shift being on the cheap, so that doesn't surprise me. Not sure how they got around the guild though. Do cable writers *have* to be signed to the Guild? My understanding was that any scripted one hour television drama was guild territory. If I'm wrong, I'll readily admit it. But I don't see how Night Shift couldn't possibly be under the guild's jurisdiction. It's not like there's a choice in writing unions out there. That being said, JG being fi-core means he could definitely write a Soapnet spin-off during the strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
