Members Soapsuds Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'd love to see reruns of GL, AW, ATWT, and other somewhere on cable. Starting in the mid 70's.....sigh...aint gonna happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carolyn1980 Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 There was a time when the networks would air reruns of their shows (before they went into syndication) in the daytime, especially comedies. I remember All in the Family, One Day at a Time, and the Jeffersons on CBS for several years, Three's Company and The Love Boat on ABC, and Golden Girls on NBC. The problem now, though, is that the shows skip network daytime and go right into the very lucrative syndication market, fearing that daytime network exposure would impact the money the show could reach in syndication. A show like Desperate Housewives probably would've been great in reruns on ABC daytime, but the money's just not there for them like it is in syndication.

Members Soapsuds Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 Thanks marceline and Lskreet Damn thought for you sure Days would drop. Instead OLTL and AMC dropped. I had a feeling B&B would drop. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr at Y&R going up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 So the Brenda hype ramping up causes a drop for the ABC lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 That and Kendalls return were the only things being promoted last week. Before the summer ends, OLTL will hit another 1.6. I just know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 Like that twit Kendall would bring the ratings. I am so sick of that character! Talk about overload! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 All soaps dropped or were flat in HH except Y&R. Can you guys save the ABC fanwar bullshit until we get the rest of the numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 There is no ABC fanwar from me. I just think it's not the best harbinger that ABC works so hard to promote VM's return and begins mentioning her on GH and their soaps drop. That has nothing to do with how I feel about other networks -- I don't hold any of their problems against ABC. If there is any show I want to see drop it's Y&R.

Members alphanguy74 Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 I think it will happen, but online... and sometime in the next 10 years. they just have to get a viable business model and figure out how to monetize it. I see a LARGE website containing thousands of streaming episodes all for a monthly subscription. It will happen. If thye can find ANY way to squeeze money out of these properties, they will. P&G's first priority is it's consumer products, so those will probably be last, but the soaps that are owned by ABC and the Bells and Sony will most likely go someplace after cancellation.

Members marceline Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 I understand. That's Frons. Personally I want to see all things Frons removed from ABC. I don't watch GH and I never have but I think VM's return is a very good thing for a lot of reasons. Unfortunately Frons has handled it terribly. He doesn't know how to build popularity. On the contrary, his arrogance and overkill makes the audience hate the very thing he wants to promote. (See Ryan/Greenlee (AMC) or John McBain (OLTL)) Bottom line: everybody dropped except Y&R. It wasn't a "harbinger" of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OLTL_fan Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 Well all I have to say if that next week should be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 Horrible numbers for AMC and OLTL. Days with a 1.6 on Friday?...yikes:o ATWT only 200,000 viewers away from GH...lol...I find that funny with all the Brenda hoopla! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted August 13, 2010 Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 Yeah, but she didn't actually return until this week...so it'll will be interesting to see if it lived up to all the hype or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
