ABC Looking at New Daytime Show

[bellcurve]

Jonathan, I absolutely respect you as a poster and as a person, but come off it please! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, regardless of if it's an opinion you agree or disagree with. If you think someone is commenting on a show they don't watch, then call that person out BY NAME and when it happens instead of leaving these vague blind items.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

GH is the most expensive soap to produce, and Y&R is a close second. DAYS used to be the most expensive soap to produce until its budget cuts in 2006 and then again in 2008.

[Soapsuds]

Ummm..how can you tell someone else to leave here? This is about a new show replacing possibly a soap. So what if posters havent seen a soap. This is not a AMC discussion thread per say or a OLTL discussion thread. This is a thread about soaps/daytime shows in general.

[AS THE WORLD TURNS]

Was ATWT very high or was it cheap to produce even though it was canceled for money issues.

[Soapsuds]

Hmmm...opposite of what I heard...lol. Very interesting info. No wonder Y&R was only given a 2 year lease..lol

What I hear is that ATWT was under budget when it was cancelled.

[AS THE WORLD TURNS]

Same here I watch all 7 too. So it can't be us two.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion if they have something knowledgeable to contribute. I don't need to offer up names because they've been called out already in other threads.

I don't even know or ever seen you or Eric83, so relax!

[AS THE WORLD TURNS]

Then it should of been renewed. Unless like they said they weren't making money off of it or the ass president in charge wanted it gone because Guiding Light was too old so he went to the next oldest soap and decided to cancel it too

[Eric83]

Ok.

But what do you expext when you say stuff, like "you know who you are"?

[Soapsuds]

That's the thing they were underbudget but weren't making any money. So they go the cheaper route in a game show that will make them more money than ATWT. It's all about the money.

[AS THE WORLD TURNS]

Oh ok I think I seen you on here before but with a different picture.

[Jonathan]

It means, stop being insecure.

I'm going to bring this back on topic. If ABC decides to move The View to syndication, then there would be room for this show and the soaps.

[AS THE WORLD TURNS]

They are so damn greedy but I guess that's how company's are these days they need the money to keep the network running even though they make alot of money on shows in primetime

[Soapsuds]

Well they will lose me as a CBS daytime viewer. I havent watched LMAD since it premiered. And I wont be watching anything else once ATWT is gone.

[Eric83]

Um ok.

Anyway, I don't think it's about room. They will just use the money they pay for one of the soaps, and invest it in a much cheaper show. I still think that if it gets off the ground it will replace a soap. (Most likely OLTL.)
