Members alphanguy74 Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 So, the consensus is that Genereations was bad? I didn't watch it, but from youtube clips, I thought it was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 It's a legitimate point, though, I think. There was a time when TPTB took the time to craft interesting characters; and one reason why soaps are dying is because they no longer do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 HELL YES IT MATTERS DUDE! Because THAT is the reason why soap audiences are dwindling. People are fed up with the sh*t that passes for entertainment from this genre of television. Soaps used to thrive on emotional storytelling through its believable plots and characterization. People like YOU and attitudes like YOURS are why people in charge of these shows and people outside of daytime think we're all a bunch of idiots who don't understand the business and should just accept any piece of sh*t that passes for story on these shows. Completely, utterly pathetic. Instead of wondering where the hidden liberal agenda was in your college courses, maybe you should have actually paid attention.

Members bellcurve Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 There was more to Generations than the Maya/Doreen catfight, beautifully written by Michele ValJean. That one awesome catfight does not represent the show as a whole, which was a steaming pile of boring sh*t which made Loving look like L.A. Law in comparison.

Members Khan Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 I'm not one to argue with one's personal taste. (Not even if the show-in-question is PASSIONS. Okay, I take that back about PASSIONS. That show was just offensive to me, no matter how you slice it.) If you enjoyed GENERATIONS, or what you saw of it online, that's great. However, I think even AA audiences largely shunned it, b/c the writing and production values were abominable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 i've watched mroe thn jsut THAT yuo know. Dang, you all are so pessimistic and so easily give up, I hope you all never get cancer, you'd probably throw in the towel and off yourself before the first round of chemo. Where's the HOPE?

Members alphanguy74 Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 But Khan, consider this. This was the first time a daytime drama REALLY went the extra mile to cater to the black viewership, and then they get kicked in the teeth for it. And you all wonder why soaps don't spend enough time on black SL's? Maybe they don't want to cater to a segment of the audience that will turn on them in a hot minute, and is never even "appreciative", let alone SATISFIED with what they do. Hell, TYLER FREAKIN PERRY can't even get his just respect with the black viewership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OldSchoolSoapFan Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 LOL!! I'm actually shocked you didn't insert the tired, old "You must be a right-wing Christian homophobic hater from the Midwest who watches Fox News and Nascar and eats pork rinds for breakfast." And by the way, dearie, I had more important things to occupy my time instead of fretting over who was behind that darn hidden liberal agenda in college.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 And that's partly why soaps have died and are no longer growing any substantial viewing audience... How are viewers supposed to invest in these characters if the people running these shows don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted July 26, 2010 Members Share Posted July 26, 2010 I don't judge people who are Republicans, Christians, Midwesterners, Fox News Fans, Nascar Fanatics, or Pork Rind Eaters. I do judge those who flame and troll message boards with their cheap racist views and controversy instead of actually engaging in a discussion about them. I mean, it IS a message board, right. You could have fooled me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
