Members Sylph Posted October 13, 2009 Members Share Posted October 13, 2009 We're gonna have Y&R: Doppelgängers & Chipmunks! spin-off, everyone! Instead of ATWT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted October 13, 2009 Members Share Posted October 13, 2009 He's dead--or at least in a coma. This is his doppelganger. Or his spirit-infested body. Or something like that. Seriously, if you go back and read that April response, I was responding to -- admitting a "bad week", or at least a "lackluster" week. I was not accepting -- nay, even resisting -- the idea that it was a pattern. In the subsequent time, we've had 26 bad weeks, give or take. And all indications are for ANOTHER 26 bad weeks. 52 bad weeks = failure (on a soap). I miss that Mark, to tell you the truth. He liked his show, he looked forward to seeing it every night, and he believed it could continue to get better. This Mark now, also, feels MAB has completely and totally lost her way. He cannot believe she is greenlighting the sixth doppelganger in a couple of years, when she herself bears responsibility for bringing/reviving three of them to the screen (Marge, Alistair, Haiduk). This Mark would totally co-sign that thread from April. Is this somehow better? For me, it's sad and it is angering. I'm not happy to be another voice in the chorus.

Members Sylph Posted October 13, 2009 Members Share Posted October 13, 2009 A lesson has to be learned from the April post: you have now prolonged the dreck because you wanted to give it a chance. So once you spot a dreck, call people out on it. When Y&R goes out, you will be guilty too. Because you've condoned the killing regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted October 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 13, 2009 I hate it when people try to blame the fans. Obviously, there are not listening to the many complaints they've been getting for months. I see nothing wrong with people giving the show a chance after a few bad weeks. Many of us were still enjoying the show in March/April. When things got worse we said so, but I bare absolutely no responsibility for anything that MAB does and neither does anyone else on this board.

Members Sylph Posted October 13, 2009 Members Share Posted October 13, 2009 Fans are equally guilty as the execs, writers etc. Fans push shows over the edge with fanbases, condoning of sh!tty regimes 'cause hey, we might give them a chance. Everyone is forgetting the fans, whose judgement is often very dubious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 13, 2009 Members Share Posted October 13, 2009 Because you haven't showed resolve, you were all wishy-washy, OK, a bad week, blah, blah, give it a chance. Yes, you do. You enjoyed the sh!t and sh!t hit you in the face. Karma. People tried to warn you, you didn't listen. Look where we're now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted October 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 13, 2009 This is such nonsense Sylph. I don't think even you believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted October 13, 2009 Members Share Posted October 13, 2009 I guess it's a matter of opinion, some people liked the dreck that we hated and called out. Things didn't get worse for them until much later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 13, 2009 Members Share Posted October 13, 2009 No, it's not. You still have to same attitude and if there were a good week, you would forgive Maria everything. You are responsible for the dreck, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted October 13, 2009 Members Share Posted October 13, 2009 Who were the others that supported this writing regime a few months ago? Where are they now? Is there anyone else who still believes that they're a good thing for this show and deserve more time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted October 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 13, 2009 You speak as if you know me or what I will or won't do, which you clearly don't. Your just talking aggressive nonsense for no reason, except boredom. Feel free, but if you think I take you seriously, again, you aren't very preceptive when it comes to my "attitude" or thought process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 13, 2009 Members Share Posted October 13, 2009 Wait. I wasn't aggressive. I know you're taste quite well, I'd say, from this board I know which shows you're watching and what kind of TV things you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted October 13, 2009 Members Share Posted October 13, 2009 I USED to think the fans are the cause of alot of problems... but seeing how the complaints have yielded NO fruit, I don't believe that anymore. And how big of a fanbase did Likey have? And how much story have they gotten? I don't understand WHY when soaps get cancelled, other soaps don't gain... THAT is one thing that has always eluded me, it makes no sense to me that one going brings the rest down. One thing that may save soaps is if replacement progams tank, and in a big way... I'm talking pulling a .4 or soemthing. But that will remain to be seen. But NBC's primetime problem are interesting. I thought this Leno thing wouldn't work, and I was right. Viewers cna tell when a netwrok is trying to cheap out. IMO, ABC is the only network with a good primetime lineup, CBS DOES get rating s with all thier blood and guts shows, but a certain segment (like me) will never wqatch such disgusting fare. NBC just doesn't have anyhting that EVER intersts me... I do't watch ONE show on NBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
