Members Soapsuds Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 CBS is going to produce just another cheap game show. I can't stand LMAD. It looks so cheap!!

Members bellcurve Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 But all ABC would have to pay is a licensing fee, am I right? They wouldn't have to pay all the fees to produce the show because essentially they don't own the show. Right? And wasn't it mentioned by posters in the Brad Bell interview that Y&R, B&B and perhaps DAYS all get money from international revenue, which supplement the cost of producing the show? It would be a costly gamble, but DAYS moving to another network would in the long run benefit ABC or CBS. There'd be the publicity surrounding it, but also DAYS fans are so fierce and loyal that they would follow that damn show anywhere. And even though ABC wouldn't "own" DAYS, there is the potential that bringing DAYS to ABC might boost the numbers of their other two company owned shows. And DAYS, even if ABC would have to foot the entire bill, would STILL be cheaper to produce than OLTL. DAYS would be stable on ABC now, yes. But I think DAYS' long-term viability is in being surrounded by other shows with similar fanbases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 Both NBC and CBS are looking for cheap shows to produce and make money out of no matter how bad the ratings are. Jay Leno like you said is a failure yet it is still making money for NBC. No wonder viewers are going away from the 3 big networks and onto something else. Who wants cheap looking and awful shows on their screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 Yep. LOL. I want to see your head explode when Variety makes it official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 I highly doubt Days will go to ABC either. The show will lose viewers if it switches networks. I dont see it moving to either network. The demos wont be the same if it is moved to ABC or CBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 It's doing a lot of damage to the local news for various affiliates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 It wont happen. IF the morons at CBS do bring Days they are [!@#$%^&*] crazy. It won't last the year on CBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jpoliver78 Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 We get the message...you don't think "Days" will go to ABC or CBS. Do you have to reply the same message over and over? That is, what, the third time you have said the same thing on this page alone? Who are you trying to convince? Everyone else or yourself?

Members Soapsuds Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 Wow......I thought I was entitled to my opinion on this board? Why so hostile?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 LOL. You don't know that. I think a promotional push, coupled with at least a three year commitment would really strengthen CBS' lineup or in ABC's case, perk up the numbers and maybe go head to head with Y&R for #1. Ambitious I know, but DAYS being around more recognizable soap brands(AMC/GH) might improve their numbers. Especially considering that Y&R will probably continue to to trend downward and it's very likely that ABC and CBS do not share the same soap audience.

Members Soapsuds Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 Sorry bellcurve..you're cool but it seems some other members have problem with my opinion on Days..so I will refrain from replying to your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jpoliver78 Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 My, my, awfully defensive aren't we? I wasn't being hostile...I just wondered why you feel the need to reply to each and every person who suggests that it is possible that "Days of Our Lives" will switch networks by saying "Days won't go to ABC" or "Days won't go to CBS" or "Days won't go..." I never said you didn't have the right to an opinion, but to constantly say the same thing but just change the network call letters? Just a little overkill, I think.

Members JaneAusten Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 Well NBC doesn't seem to care about that. If they did why are they sticking with it. Perhaps they will end up cancelling The Tonight Show. I have no idea which one is actually doing better. NBC is still perplexing to me. I don't get it at all. Perhaps this is just one big experiment.

Members P.J. Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 *bangs head on wall* ...of course ATWT actually goes UP the week CBS cancels it.... It's always been the writing that makes or breaks shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
