Prediction : Days of our Lives to move to CBS in 2010


Recommended Posts

I belive now more then ever that Days of our Live's will on CBS in 2010 and I belive Barbra Bloom is setting the stage for the show to jump to CBS. with the cancelation of GL CBS will have the space for Corday to move Day's to CBS in ATWT spot after the B&B and ATWT will be shortend to half hour and moved to the mouring time slot. Sony already owns half of the Y&R so their is already a relationship between CBS and Sony Pictures to bring Days to CBS.

CBS Daytime in 2010 will look like this half hour of ATWT in the mourings, Y&R, B&B and Days

what you think does Barbra Bloom have her eye's on Days of our Lives?

Interesting post! I could see it happening and CBS has taken other network shows before (primetime mostly - JAG, Family Matters) so I don't think it is beyond the realm of possibility. Also DOOL has something that CBS has longed for a long time - a very popular soap that is rooted in pop-culture and has the most devout following of any other soap, IMO.

It really could happen especially if NBC wants out of the soap biz, which it SO does!

Provided DAYS keeps it's spot in the demos and in the households, I wouldn't be surprised if CBS or Barbara Bloom decide to replace ATWT with DAYS. Or were at least interested in it. Y&R: The More Serious Show. B&B: The Campy Sister Show to Y&R and DAYS: The Crazy Ass Show where anything could happen. B&B would be an interesting bridge between Y&R and DAYS.

Also, if SONY gets into bed with CBS(with the $25,000 Pyramid), SONY may be using that to push their way into DAYS on CBS. So they can have a monopoly on CBS lineup.

Also, one of the reasons why Pyramid is being so bandied about is that the show already has a built in name. They don't need to start from scratch with the new show, because people know the brand and are familiar with it(which is why I assume CBS/Paramount are so keen on these drama remakes for the CW). CBS may be very interested in DAYS if they can keep their numbers steady, have some sort of creative control over it, and if they can get the show for really cheap because, again, the show comes with a fanbase and a brand already instead of starting from scratch.

But it's all a moot point anyway. I worry for Y&R and B&B. I mean, they're safe for now, but what if the ratings keep dropping? Especially for B&B. A 2.4 Household? Really? The last time this happened, Brad Bell got rid of all the stuff we hated(the Marone Overload and the shipping bull) and at least made some sort of attempt to give the fans what they wanted(Brooke/Ridge's wedding, Felicia's initial return, Rick's return, etc.), while torturing us at the same time. But now, it's like the ratings are a 2.5 or 2.4, and he barely flinches.

But I'm with Y&RWorldTurner: leave it to Darlotto to make up a thread like this. Chill dude. We can't predict this [!@#$%^&*]. It will happen when it happens.

Much as a love days, I dont see it on CBS. It does need to shape up and get a new writer who believes in history and family!!! Dena Higley has killed Days along with help from Ken CockDay. The young people are taking over, I am young but I want to see Calliope and Eugene, Doug and Julie, and other vets in meaningful storylines. Days is actually sucky right now with Kate trying to burst Chloe. Just tell Lucas for God's Sake: "You wife is a slut and she's been sleeping with Dr. F***-A-Lot." I could go on and on but I tell the story another day!

    • It's been brought up that Empty Nest was a time slot hit. Here's Empty Nest schedule and seasonal rating in comparison to The Golden Girls. 1988/89: The Golden Girls Saturday 9 pm, 6th. Empty Nest Saturday 9:30 pm, 9th. 1989/90: The Golden Girls Saturday 9 pm, 6th. Empty Nest Saturday 9:30 pm, 9th. 1990/91: The Golden Girls Saturday 9 pm, 10th. Empty Nest Saturday 9:30 pm, 7th. 1991/92: The Golden Girls Saturday 8 pm, 30th (final season). Empty Nest Saturday 9 pm, 22nd.  1992/93: Saturday 9 pm, below the Top 30. 1993/94: Saturday 9 pm, below the Top 30. 1994/95: Saturday 8:30 pm then 8 pm, below the Top 30, and cancelled. Empty Nest 7 season run equaled the parent show The Golden Girls.
    • In an interesting turn of irony, when Somerset came onto the airwaves in 1970... it ran against Dark Shadows and beat it in the ratings fairly quickly.  Then when Edge of Night moves to ABC in December 1975 and put against Somerset, the slow ratings rise that Somerset was allegedly having in late 1975 is derailed. From reading the write ups of the final year, the show dropped the May/December romance.. which viewers enjoyed and was getting the show some good press... the original cast member was sidelined due to medical issues, and the show featured pure crime stories without any balance. I think the crime focus was an attempt to compete with EON.  However, people that were into crime stories/mysteries weren't going to tune into Somerset for their fix.. not when Edge of Night was known for that.. and that show was running on a high quality wise when the network switch occurred.

    • Erwin Nicholson's last episode as SFT ep was 11/21. Whitesell started 11/22/85. Erwin was on board from March 8, 1985 so less than 9 months. Whitesell lasts six months (approximately) before P&G moved him to AW for two years where he primarily worked with DePriest. Whitesell was replaced on Search by no daytime experience David Lawrence who closed out the show's last six months.

    • I assume in name only?  One Stormy Night wasn't exactly steamy.  If it's a literal throwback then Stephanie's writing about sexy times her own Uncle was having lol. Since I am going to surmise it's just a throwback to the name, Night Sins and Winter Heat both sound sexier.  Just saying.  I swear Jamey (and Ron) just google things and land on the first thing they like and decide it's a good throwback to history without watching it.
