Members SFK Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 Amen to everything you said. There is a hungry audience out there and ain't nobody getting fed, because for whatever stupid reasons, TIIC can't get over their own [!@#$%^&*] and see beyond their warped view of what's interesting or what the viewers "want". FULLY integrated and representative shows should have been a reality at least two decades ago. How tragic, pathetic even, that soaps will be history before there was even ONE asian mom and dad with 2.3 children and a kooky Gramma. What's most frustrating is that soaps are a 52 weeks a year, 5 days a week operation and there is AMPLE time for experimentation and broadening the canvas. It certainly has its kinks, but there are lessons to be learned from OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 These people should be sauteed for even thinking that "The Bonnie Hunt Show" being canceled is the same as ATWT being canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ann_SS Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 I bet he is tired of hearing from whiny bitchy irrational soap fans. I can only imagine that he shakes his head in disbelief when he gets yet another batch of mail from a rabid fanbase demanding that their couple be put back together or their favorite character not be fired. Moonvres must be counting down the days until he can get rid of soap fans and their obsessiveness for good. Goodness know I would feel that way.

Members JaneAusten Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 What does he mean only the "SPecial Soaps" will survive and then he goes onto talk about the end of "client owned" soaps. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 Les Moonves probably has no time to read that mail. No one reads that. No one sends that. That was so last century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 Moonves has every right to be arrogant. He brought CBS up from the gutter after they lost the NFL to Fox in the early 90's. A move which CBS still hasn't fully recovered. Yeah, it sucks ATWT was canceled, but Moonves is a network scheduling genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ann_SS Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 Every single fan campaign sends some cutesy item that they send in the regular mail. I'm sure his assistant gives him a copy of the kooky things that soap fans send. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 Like the DAYS fans who sent in the comforter set that they wanted John and Marlena to have sex on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 I should have corrected that and said: No one in their sane mind would send that. Still, I stand by what I said in that he don't gives a damn about it and no one really has time to read it for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 P&G or Telenext was a CBS client that produced shows for CBS. I think that's what he's referring to. He's probably right, network owned shows, daytime or nighttime, will last longer because there's no middle man to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
