Members dragonflies Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 The well-regarded trade publication TV Week is predicting tht Guiding Light will bite the dust in 2009, and the web is ablaze with reports that the legendary soap has only until April to boost its ratings or face cancellation. "We don't comment on speculation," a CBS rep says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 OMG, this is so shocking! Not! I say cancel it. It's beyond repair IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 Okay, then how about commenting on what is as obvious as the cosmetically enhanced lips on Lisa Rinna's face? GL is so toast come April, it isn't funny anymore. In fact, it's not sad, either. It just...is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 1.9 is the key number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 And to think, I used to be worried when GL couldn't break out of sixth- or seventh-place. Now, it'll be a miracle if they outperform DAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 I don't see GL surpassing any soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members miajere Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 OH, JESUS!! Would they just take it out back and shoot it already! The "dying soap" article must be what one writes when they have nothing else to turn in for the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 Have you seen DAYS' recently spiked ratings? GL will be lucky if it outperforms a rerun of The People's Court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 Yes, I have - and you know what I say to that? That won't last long. Trust me. The very second Dee and Drake have vanished from the screen, DAYS'll be back in the ratings cellar, or the next best place. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 We'll see...they haven't exactly been front burner and they're getting a happy send off...for the sake of that show I hope it continues to trend up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'd rather see a rerun of PC than GL right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 Read the spoiler section, that send-off they're getting is anything but joyous. In fact, it's mean and degrading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 And "trifling," Y&RWorldTurner. Don't forget "trifling". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rocket Man Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 Let's get real here, GL has a contract with CBS until this fall and this blurb in TV Week is far from the truth because they conspire and speculate about other TV shows whether its backstage turmoil, cancellations, time slots changes, etc, and etc. If you are familiar with TV Week, this what they do just like any other publications. Instead of jumping into instant, knee-jerk reactions about GL (not a shocker especially on this message board site), re-read the blurb especially when they used the word "predicting" and that's like myself predicting Detroit Lions is going to go to the Super Bowl this year (NOT!). Also TV Week website is NOT, and I repeat "NOT" ablaze with reports about GL based on my research and past readings. Do a search and you will come up with 3 or 4 with the latest about Montel Williams appearing or Caitlin VanZandt's weight loss, there is no certifiable, cited article about the timeline to boost its ratings or face cancellation except hearsay comments on public message boards which we ALL SHOULD KNOW it's pure speculation. Like the CBS rep said, "We don't comment on SPECULATION!" Michael Logan is getting awfully senile these days, it's time for him to retire from TV Guide especially when quoting a "speculative" statement from another publication. Shame on him for doing lazy, poorly executed work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
