Members Ridge Posted June 4, 2008 Members Share Posted June 4, 2008 I'm very annoyed by SoapNet this summer. They've completely switched the gear WITHOUT NOTICE of OLTL's weekly marathon. DAYS will practically be unwatchable since most nights at 11 they have new shows, this stupidly annoying Relative Madness (who wants to watch people sitting around talking about paparazzi??) and they have been completley over-run by annoying movies! Movies that have no soap relation at all and are worst than what B- grade channels show. The family channel shows these kinds of movies all the time... what is the point of SOAPNET if this is how it is going to be?? And all the time! Sunday's schedule has been completely taken over by movies, and what's worse their big "SNM" promo for SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIES is stupid since they show the movie during the DAY from 10am to 12pm as well. How dumb is that!! /End Rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 What pisses me off is their own soaps getting preempted by shows like Relative Madness, yeah that's a way to NOT get people to want to watch There are people who watch the marathon on the weekend to catch up on their soaps but can't. Totally effing idiotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 I agree with these posts, but JUST TO PLAY DEVIL"S ADVOCATE: Soapnet's ratings are inconsequential to ABC's ratings. If an ABC soap is HIGHLY successful on Soapnet, but not on ABC-Daytime-Live, it's still a failure.l Don't get me wrong... I would sell my soul to see Santa Barbara, Edge of NIght, Search for Tomorrow and Another World on Soapnet. But the bottom line is that they need the demos. And sadly, the AW experiment proved they wouldn't get it. I hate saying they're right, but sadly... they're right. If you want to blame someone, blame Neilsen for having an outdated system. Not Soapnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TC Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 I haven't watched it but I hear it's an attempt to be Footballers' Wives. Lots of boobies and bare bums (which will probably be edited for the post Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction audience, guns and mangled dead bodies are so much more acceptable) The guys are hot.

Members GHJunkie4Life Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 Pretty much sums it up...I was like OH MY! However there will always be hot guys so I'll just tune in for a eppy or 2 and then fade out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sedrick Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 I was truly blown away this past Sunday evening as I was scanning through the channel guide and came perhaps a new low on the non-SOAPNET schedule: two hours devoted to the story of the freakin' OSMONDS!!!

Members sema608 Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 I watch Soapnet so I don't have to tape the shows during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hahah well ent Weekly just said all the nudity was deleted (which might make the hazing game where they tie a bucket to a rookie player's cock and throw pucks into it harder to show).
