Members Shawn Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 HAHAHA! Good riddance. But what a shocker that a classic soap opera tale of a hermaphrodite seducing his father only to get pregnant with his inbred demon spawn couldn't guarantee the show longevity. It was a sure bet.

Members Khan Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 Or, for that matter, the near-mythic saga of a man torn between his Fancy and his Pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 9, 2007 Administrator Share Posted December 9, 2007 Don't celebrate too soon (like many people did last January). Even if DirecTV cancels the show, it's just the two minute warning and there's still time on the clock for one last drive by NBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 Seriously though, whose gonna pick up a show that's been canceled by TWO networks, in less than a year? A million viewers might be considered a success for Direct TV's 101, but not elsewhere, especially not network television again or a mainstream cable channel like SoapNet.

Members juppiter Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 Passions has broken so many soap rules. How awesome would it be to see it break another and be canceled twice and STILL be on TV? It reminds me of this summer's Big Brother. I started loving Jen when she was nominated 3 times in a row and survived each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 9, 2007 Administrator Share Posted December 9, 2007 NBC owns a bunch of cable stations they can try. If NBC is willing to fight for the show, there's a great chance for it to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 I think the situation is a sad one. If 'Passions' has been cancelled by DirecTV then the cast was used and abused to get subscribers, nothing more nothing less. It is never good to see a soap die because it chips away at the genre as a whole. I think there are some great actors on the show, Tracey Ross, Kim Johnston Ulrich, Ben Masters, Juliet Mills, Andrea Evans etc...but I could just never get over how terrible the show often was, especially when compared to its predecessor, 'Another World'.

Members patzo101 Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 I know this is a long shot, but since NBC still owns the show, they could possibly drop Today Show 4 and bring "Passions" back. Unfortunately, that would probably be a snowballs chance in hell of ever happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Port Oak Valley Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 Didnt NBC Universal recently purchase the Oxygen network? Passions might show up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 Just end the farce!! Cancel the d*mn show! And bring something better on the air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 Passions going to CW or MyNetwork TV could work. Especially considering that their original programming during the day may not draw even close to half of the PSNS audience. The question would be whether or not the affiliates would be willing to give up that time slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 NBC would be better off coming up with a new soap or piece together the remaining cast of "Another World" and do a spinoff, lol. Though the latter is very slim chance in hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
