Members marceline Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 I'm so tired of this bickering and bullshit, that I'd just as soon they canceled both. If they aren't going to make real changes everything else is a waste of time. But ifthey're going to cancel OLTL (or "One Life" or "One" or "Life" or "The OL") I hope they wait until early next year so I can get the space I want for the cancellation party.

Members SFK Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 Cue Wendy Williams "I Can't" gif, seriously, I don't know whether to laugh or fall on the floor and do pentecostal snow angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RomeAt50 Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 I agree. I doubt ABC wants to guarantee that OLTL will stay on the air for another two years, especially, like you said, when they don't know just how much it could drop in the ratings and how much money they could be losing. And even if they did agree that they would give them a couple of more years I still don't see the execs announcing it when it isn't even technically a renewal.

Members leahanna Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 if you want OLTL canceled so badly then why post about it? Some of us like it and the soap genre and would be sad to see it go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 I don't think 'celine is exactly lighting candles for LOV♥OLT's cancellation, it just seems that for months (years) now there's been a lot of sh!t and nary a pot to get off of. Like, don't keep us hanging on if there are no plans in sight to step up the game. It is terribly sad and frustrating for loyal fans. Fans like marce don't rest much on nostalgia, but there's a certain expectation that these shows maintain a level of quality and they have without question fallen short of that. I think every soap still on the air should be on its knees thanking God for its glory years, I do not believe there would be an audience at all if it weren't for the foundation built by past years of excellence. That's just me. And as we've all seen, the glorious past can only do but so much. In a nutsehell, I do not want to see any more soaps cancelled but like anyone who has made any sort of investment, be it financial or emotional, I do not want to see my investment squandered. Get your [!@#$%^&*] together or [!@#$%^&*] you for wasting my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Llantano Incorporated Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 I like "The OL". Can you imagine Viki saying to Echo: "Welcome to the OL, BITCH!" And then sauntering off. Sorry everybody about posting that poster's quote about "One Life" I meant "insider" sarcastically. I thought it was funny and clearly written by a hardcore OLTL fan. This Karen M is clearly a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 Actually I am but bless you for believing in my essential goodness. But the rest of what you say is true for me as far as the genre as a whole. I'm so tired of hearing about how I'm supposed to panic at the thought of another cancellation or say prayers of gratitude because "Show X" gets another year to feed the audience the same disrespect, mismanagement and out of date thinking. When they give me something to believe I'm their biggest supporter, you need only go back to what I was saying about AMC a few months ago. I believed in the show, I believed in the changes they and I talked the show up. But now they went right back to typical ABC garbage and the ratings are showing that. It's improve or die and if they won't do the former, then get on with the business of doing the latter. Some people believe in Santa Claus. It's not my job to cater to your naivete.

Members marceline Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 How about "1-Life?" The opening could be everyone holding up one finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted September 29, 2010 Members Share Posted September 29, 2010 +1 It's too late. Soaps won't gain any new viewers. They will just continue to lose the viewers that watch out of habit. Cancel them all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Saving ATWT Posted September 29, 2010 Members Share Posted September 29, 2010 I honestly could see 1 Life living 2 years. Was looking at a copy of Variety Mag and was shocked to see how badly the major networks are doing in primetime. Granted, daytime has lost a bigger percentage; however, it only makes sence that viewers will just continue to splinter off more and more as even more cable channels are added. I'm almost impressed with Y&R ratings (3.5 hh/1.7) considering the state of the CW and MY network. Soaps will die but, within a decade or so, the mjor networks will die, too. They will just be numbers on the dial like USA, TBS, TNT, OWN. Flipping a remote annoys more and, as a 34 year old, I no longer want more choices. Maybe I'll just buy a little radio and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
