Administrator Toups Posted January 16, 2008 Administrator Share Posted January 16, 2008 As I told you guys months ago, March 2008 was when NBC could decide to axe or renew DAYS. And now apparently James Scott has said the same thing in a chat he did last night. We're about two months away from decision time. I pray to God that DAYS will stay alive.

Members Ryan Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm praying it gets renewed, but not if they are forced to cut their budget. If they do, the first thing to go will be our beloved vets, and Corday will have another excuse to push his teenage agenda.... James Hyde said he doesn't think DAYS will get renewed, and it'll end up on either CBS or ABC. I'm worried.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm worried too and if it does get canceled, I don't think CBS or ABC is an option. The budget will have to be reduced, there's no way NBC will renew the show for the budget it has now. Hell, they've always slashed the show's budget during past negotiations, that's nothing new. It will be sad if the show dies just when it looks like its on a creative upswing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members daysfan Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 I don't think it has a chance of lasting on NBC even if they got a huge ratings bump. Even before the huge ratings freefall, NBC announced they probably wouldn't keep it past 2009. NBC obviously wants out of the soap business, and they have since the nineties. I think they only created Passions because of their love for JER. I even remember hearing that Drake Hogestyn said at a fan event or whatever that NBC purposely tried to dismantle Days, which proves even more how much they don't care. I will say, if I had to choose, I'd probably want Days on CBS, because imagining Brian Frons getting his hands all over that show makes me shudder.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 That's NBC for you.... Also, add my beloved Ryan's Hope to that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 16, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm a DAYS fan first, so I'm willing to sacrifice another soap for DAYS to survive. *runs away to hide from CBS/ABC soap fans* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 Lol, GL's been on it's last legs for years. All in favor of putting the show out of it's misery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 ^I thought you were a Passions fan above all, Toups. Though it would be nice, I don't see DAYS going anywhere if NBC cancels it. CBS has had the most consistent soap lineup for over 20 years and the new filming techniques used for ATWT and GL is saving them some major money. ABC owns their soaps outright and they wouldn't want to share ad revenue with both Sony and Corday Productions. Also, DAYS carries a hefty licensing fee, which executives at both CBS and ABC would roll their eyes at. Unless DAYS cuts down its production budget severely and maybe revert to being a 30 min show, I don't see it anywhere else, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daysfan Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'd NEVER wish cancellation on a soap, but, if a soap is so horrible beyond recovery, then I would rather it be cancelled while its ahead so it doesn't get even worse and disgrace itself, and also it'd make way for a better soap to take its place. Again I'd never purposely wish death on a soap, but sometimes I just have to think that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AddictedToSoaps Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 And for the record, I said what I said not to offend GL fans. Kriezman is a hack who's destroyed that show IMO. Yet the show still wins critical acclaim so he must be doing something right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 Euthanize GL and bring Days to CBS. It could be paired with its Sony sibling, Y&R. Frankly, NBC doesn't deserve it. Its proven that time and time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 16, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted January 16, 2008 If DAYS doesn't renew, I want it on CBS too. 2009 Lineup: Y&R B&B DAYS ATWT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 Y&R, Days, and B&B. I like the sound of that. Currently ATWT can suck it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
