Members aMLCproduction Posted September 29, 2009 Members Share Posted September 29, 2009 It's quite clear ABC is gearing up for a cancellation for either AMC and OLTL. This topic may be hard but the truth hurts. Which show deserves to stay and why? Which show is stronger or in better shape to stay? ABC is going to pit AMC fans vs OLTL fans. Way to go Frons.

Members DRW50 Posted September 29, 2009 Members Share Posted September 29, 2009 AMC is dead. AMC has been dead for probably 4-5 years, the corpse just rots a little more with each new headwriter. Yet, AMC will stay and OLTL will not. No doubt in my mind. So AMC is the zombie of daytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aMLCproduction Posted September 29, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yes we do. You don't have to but it's a reality.In the end it's going to be OLTL vs AMC. it's that way now But as a buisness decision, why would Frons choose AMC over OLTL when OLTL is resurging right now, on a creative high and usually beats AMC in the ratings and OLTL consistently comes in under budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 29, 2009 Members Share Posted September 29, 2009 Cameron Mathison's crazy eyes will hypnotize OLTL fans into submission. Jamie Luner's bright orange skin will make OLTL fans burn with envy. Michael Knight's comic timing will make OLTL fans enter clinics for severe depression.

Members DRW50 Posted September 29, 2009 Members Share Posted September 29, 2009 I do think when the time comes near for OLTL to go, Opal will reveal herself as Ursula Blackwell and blow the entire town up as they are in the middle of an oh-so-suspenseful horseshoe match for May sweeps.

Members dragonflies Posted September 29, 2009 Members Share Posted September 29, 2009 AMC has been unrecognizable for awhile now, the move to LA is going to make it worse. AMC is becoming Melrose Place 3.0. OLTL is at least recognizable. I think AMC is the one that should head for cancellation. I mean each writer they hire is worse than the one(s) before him/her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wizzerkat Posted September 29, 2009 Members Share Posted September 29, 2009 The business facts are: AMC is a more recognizable brand. If you ask the average person on the street to name a soap, lots more mention AMC than OLTL. Then there is the Susan Lucci/Erica Kane factor. AMC, whether or not people think it deserves it, is more of a legacy show than OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 29, 2009 Members Share Posted September 29, 2009 How many of those people who recognize AMC or Susan Lucci watch the show, or will plan to do so? A few years ago, someone asked me how Nurse Jessie and Steve Hardy were doing at General Hospital. They knew of GH, but they weren't exactly in tune with what GH has become.

Members Marc Posted September 29, 2009 Members Share Posted September 29, 2009 This isn't the 1970s and 80s anymore. A "more recognizable brand" means very little as far as soaps go. In the last 10 years it's become PAINFULLY evident that in the genre of soaps, being a "recognizable brand" has little to no effect on viewers tuning in or sponsors shelling out higher dollars. Joe Average may have heard of Erica Cane over Victoria Lord, but is he watching AMC? The OC was a more recognizable brand than One Tree Hill, but it wound up cancelled while the latter still lives on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted September 29, 2009 Members Share Posted September 29, 2009 Were O.C. and OTH both on Fox, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted September 29, 2009 Members Share Posted September 29, 2009 How? People keep screaming this with such certainty without EVER saying exactly how relocating to Los Angeles is going to make it worse. I'm sure you've probably "read" it somewhere, but still! I wish people would be a little more specific as to how moving to a studio facility that's not only offering them High Definition, but two soundstages and the ability to use up LESS of the already limited budget is going to make the show worse.
