Apparently so. There was an article in some paper in France announcing this. It was cancelled after only 2 weeks on the air. Not sure why it was not given a longer opportunity but maybe the makeup of the show just did not appeal to the french audience - have no idea.

I would love to see it surpass Y&R on the totem pole.

I just have a funny feeling that all the ABCD soaps go the way of GH, it's top soap, and GH has not been good. It's a shame because OLTL has improved so much.

I forgot to point something else, too: I don't think the ratings are dropping just because the Nielsen's have the wrong technique.

I don't have to go to speak to someone either, among other things because that person doesn't need to explain me the method. I would like to have an honest discussion about the arguments for and against the Nielsens.

And I so don't believe you have a maths degree! :P:D

You are right, I don't have a math degree. I have a ph.d in public policy. But yes you are right, I don't have a math degree. Yes, I agree that it would be nice to have an honest discussion about Nielsens. That means I get to disagree with you and say there is nothing wrong with the Nielsens approach without it hurting your feelings or having to have you ask questions and make accusations about my degree.

I disagree with you. There is nothing wrong with ratings. i

Okay...here's a question just to pass the time until the ratings get the ball rolling here and I'm being serious.

Payola: (definition for dictionary.com)

pay·o·la

n.

Bribery of an influential person in exchange for the promotion of a product or service, such that of disc jockeys for the promotion of records.

A bribe or a number of bribes given to an influential person in exchange for a promotion of a product or service

Do you think that the fan campaigns where producers, network executives, actors, or media writers receive gifts of value should be considered payola in order to promote a specific storyline, couple, or character? I understand sending in postcards and that sort of thing but I recently watched a youtube clip where Becky Herbst (and I am NOT singling her out by any means whatsoever. It's just the example I happened to see.) showed off a bracelet that was sent by a certain faction of her fans and I remember thinking how strange it was. I could see where receiving gifts of a certain monetary value by a faction of her fans might influence her support for one pairing over another. It could influence storylines and ultimately affect the careers of not only the actor involved but other actors on the show. Similarly if Guza, Phelps, or we could expand it to other shows like The Bears or Carruthers et al. were receiving similar treatment, could that actually be considered payola?

This is just for the sake of the argument guys. I'm not trying to "start nothing where there wouldn't be nothing".... I'm just curious what your take on it might be.

    • It actually felt like TM-G was a bit softer in her scenes with nu-Ted that kind of matched his meeker energy as Ted on Friday. I was very curious how she’d play off him and now I have my answer.
    • My thoughts exactly! Fantastic find @DRW50!  
    • That was interesting; thanks. Courtney looks tired and/or bored AF, LOL!
    • 5-12   Lord have mercy.   I'm not sure how I feel about it. Perhaps what I said last week or the week before last. If the highlight of a soap is what people are wearing and not the writing, that's not a good thing. And that was how I was feeling watching this. There was not anyone that I was interested in seeing in the episode outside of Daniel and Sally tbh. Because Daniel continues to be the only thing that humanizes Phyllis for me.    I could care less for the Billy/Sally scenes where he's woe is me. I could care less about Kyle/Claire since the writers took all the drama right out of the pairing. Humanized or not, I could care less for Giggly Heffa.    I barely care for Teriah. But for me, it's nice to see something going on with them. Though it seems so horribly contrived.    I liked the costume designer appears to be trying to find individual styles for some of the characters. For me, Tessa's with the boots stood out given her indie musician history. It seems like Claire's style is coming into its own with block colors. I like Kyle's wardrobe is loosening up somewhat. I even loved the striped dress that Phyllis had on.    But again...where is the writing?
    • It was reported that Jane Wyman absence in the final season was due to health (it's documented that Jane was diabetic) but I believe her episodes being cut was a budget mode move. Similar move Dallas pulled in 1990, it was reported that Barbara Bel Geddes retired due to health (it's documented that Barbara had a heart condition) but I say salary dump. Jane Wyman only acted once after Falcon Crest, a 1993 episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but she lived another 14 years after that. Barbara Bel Geddes did not act again after her last episode of Dallas in 1990 but she lived another 15 years after that. The trifecta of suck at Lorimar was Les Moonves, Leonard Katzman, and Michael Filerman. It was a pattern across all three CBS primetime soaps in the off the rails plus budget mode era to salary dump the long-time female cast members and bring on sweet young things hired on the cheap. 
    • To be fair, more than half of them are dead now. 
    • Kat may be a privileged elitist but that's not entirely true.  Kat first met Eva when Eva was snooping at Nicole's desk, so Kat's first impression of Eva wasn't very good.  Plus, Kat's instinct to not trust Eva was 100% right.  Kat's attitude toward Eva had nothing to do with Eva not "bowing" down to Kat, and her feelings toward her half-sister is very justified......minus the making fun of Eva's clothes of course. 
    • They said that this has metastasized to his bones, but the type of "aggressive" prostate cancer he has is actually very common and is treatable, or at least manageable. So the headline is misleading.   Apparently this type of cancer is hormonal which makes it somewhat treatable? But still, of course, sad.  Thinking of him and his loved ones.
    • Kat is a spoiled brat princess and Silk Press Sheila called her out on it.  Silk Press Sheila is someone not to mess with. I was actually scared for Kat when she was alone with Silk Press Sheila and recording their conversation.
    • It is funny that Stephanie and Philip still hide/blush/get embarrassed at the sight of each other.  Meanwhile, Kate's pouring coffee for Rafe at the pub as if they're only casual acquaintances.  Although, if Kate blushed every time she saw one of her former lovers, she'd be permanently red.
