Seriously?! That many airings of 90210! Does it really do that well? I used to like it but the overload of seeing it everywhere has made me despise that show. Wow...... :huh:

It does say a lot when they dump their own networks soap. This really is a disgrace. :angry:

I haven't watch SoapNet in months. I was so excited to get it when it first became available but back then we had shows like Soapcenter instead of stupid movies that are below even Lifetime's standards.

I used to love watching repeats of Dynasty & Knot's Landing, too, but now it's all aimed at younger viewers. I never cared for 90201 or One Tree Hill and I was only a casual viewer of the OC. If that's what they're selling, I'm staying far, far away!

I wonder how long before they rebrand? I have been watching more lately (a) because of NightShfit, (B) because of MVP (yes, I find it compelling when I watch), and © the Olympics.

I get this overdose of NBC...when I can't watch another dive or bike race or 400 m sprint, or whatever....and then Soapnet is a welcome reprieve. But, the only ABC show that captures my attention right now is OLTL. Well...OLTL _and_ Spinelli.

I am for any move which results in less Minshew polluting and rotting the culture, so the lack of an AMC marathon is a blessing in disguise. What I am disappointed about is no DALLAS. Soapnet used to show that, Dynasty, Knots, Falcon Crest i think, and there were still forgotten primetime soaps to be mined (Flamingo Road and so on). For classic soaps there are now online avenues but it would be nice to see things like AW and EoN on the actual TV. 90210 should be banned from all existence along with any of the shows where teens live in a world without adults and people are named Pacey and so on. Soapnet sucks.

Yeah, cause there just ain't enough 90210 in the world that it needs to be shown 26 times a week, right Fronsie? :rolleyes: I'm guessing he's doing this to try and get the viewers who'll watch the new 90210 into the old one. And them ditching Melrose Place and AMC Marathons is just another reason for me to unsubscribe to the channel.

      Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.

      Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.

      I just finished watching and I have to admit, not once did I find myself wondering who wasn't there. Quick question for anyone who followed this better than I did: was it only Andrew who rescued Cat and John from Clyde, or was Shane involved too? The reactions during their scenes today felt a little off to me. I know it was meant to be vague, but I didn't find it strange that they already knew each other.

      Yeah, financially, Luna is in better shape than Deacon and Sheila.   -- Scott Clifton must have decided to chew the scenery in every scene of this "Liam is Dying" storyline. Yikes.

      If J.R. wasn't busy with Ewing Oil, he'd be a heckuva soap recapper. He was SO gleeful at recapping Jenna-Bobby-Pam when the trio and Mark encountered each other at the Oil Baron's Ball. That being said, Lucy, presumably Sue Ellen and maybe Ray should all know this story, or at least part of it. Lucy was definitely at Southfork during Jenna and Bobby's relationship, and I believe Sue Ellen was about to marry J.R. around the time Jenna jilted Bobby. (Ray might not have given a damn.)

      ALL: Proposed Soaps Over The Years

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Broadcasting Magazine (May 5, 1980) : Future US-Next TV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive From a May 1980 Broadcasting issue: Meredith Broadcasting in association with Alan Sloan Inc has committed itself to produce series of five half hours in soap opera form, "designed for youngers 11-14 and their parents." Programs, yet untitled, "will deal with problems teen-agers face in their relationships with peers and parents," with script topics reviewed in advance by teachers, psychologists and others. First episode is to air on Meredith's five TV's in September and ground broadcaster also anticipates syndication. If successful, idea is to go to full-fledged series.

      Secrets of Midland Heights

      By DRW50 · Posted

      Broadcasting Magazine (May 5, 1980) : Future US-Next TV : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Looking at an old Broadcast issue with a fall schedule preview. Their description of the show: Lorimar Productions turns its cameras "below the surface of a small, traditional, thriving college town still large controlled by its founders, the Millingtons." Plot elements include "nurtured dreams, closely-held desires, closeted shame and vital truths about friends and family." Lee Rich, Michael Filerman and David Jacobs are executive producers of the Roundelay production, in association with Lorimar.  They also mention the show in a small section about advertising's point of view.  Advertising agency reaction to the new fall line-ups announced by ABC and CBS last week varied. But upfront, some agency types were apprehensive that their advertisers might be turned off by some of the new "titillating" entries. "I'm concerned about the amount of permissiveness," said one executive, with CBS' Secrets of Midland Heights commonly mentioned as one possible offender.
