Members Ann_SS Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 ITA. Moonvres is a talented executive. He has done better by CBS than Zucker has with NBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 Well then his statement should make Y&R and B&B nervous, correct? Because, despite their relative (key word: relative) success, he made it pretty clear in his statement how he feels about "client-owned" material, so...

Members Sylph Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 Yes. It just adds to the pressure. He has only two left to cancel so... One of those is next. On CBS, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members trish672 Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 Moonves might be a genius but he could afford to show some class. Not a damn thing amusing about people losing jobs in this economy no matter how you feel about the soap genre. Besides the lucky few, many of these people will have a very hard time getting new work.

Members All My Shadows Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 I don't know if he doesn't care about the people losing their jobs and what-not, but it upsets me that he's acting like canceling ATWT is like canceling a low-rated sitcom that was given a season more than it deserved just to see if its numbers would improve. If this was CSI limping pass the finish line, he'd have more to say about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 Another I told you so. All that bitching about Let's Make a Deal and it is doing just fine in the ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 Is LMAD even doing that well, or is that all spin? Heck it didn't even take over the GL timeslot here, Dr. Phil did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 Sure he could be more tactful, but Moonvres isn't worrying about the feelings of a couple million fans of a soap money pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JaneAusten Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 What was the issue with that Moonves interview. It actually overall sounding pretty encouraging. He didn't seem flippant about ATWT he referred to both ATWT and GL as having long distinquished years and the era is pretty much over. As sad as cancellation is, he is correct for the most part. I didn't get a sense he was smirking or joking about it. The whole interview was pretty upbeat and his tone was pretty consistant throughout the interview. I suppose if it was Bloom or Frons saying those things I might be hopping mad who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 9, 2009 Members Share Posted December 9, 2009 I'm lost for words. I knew ATWT would be cancelled soon but thought it might have a year. It was mostly wishful thinking. The World will stop turning/spinning. No more Kim, Bob, Nancy, Tom, Margo, Holden. Lisa, Emma or Lily just to mention a few. No more La Hubbard gracing my screen. NO more Eileen Fulton....sigh...No more CZP as Barbara...Babs.....No more James returning from the dead. So much history tossed down the drain by Ghris Goutman....f u c k i n g l o s e r!! I hope his Pissanate keeps him company in the unempoyment line where they should both be. Thanks(to the show) for the 30 plus memories of ATWT you have given me. I will be a sad day in Sept 2010. It is already is a sad and somber day. And excuse me...but why is a certain poster posting on this thread? Someone who never watched the show or even [!@#$%^&*] commented about the show!! Seriously...WTF?? Sigh...no more soaps left for me to watch...my days are numbered at SON in September....it was a fun ride. My show ...my ATWT will never be forgotten.
