Members vetsoapfan Posted August 15, 2022 Members Share Posted August 15, 2022 I enjoyed Lois and Clark the first season, but then TPTB downplayed the relationships and characterization, and the show turned pedestrian and campy. IMHO, of course. I did not make it through the second year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 15, 2022 Members Share Posted August 15, 2022 That's about how I was. Teri Hatcher checked out of her part (and became frighteningly thin) and the show decided to just spend every week reuniting cast members of a random show from 1982 rather than writing a script. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted August 15, 2022 Members Share Posted August 15, 2022 Whether Colleen is right or not and of course I hope she's not, I don't think anybody is delusional to think we're going to see these soaps via streaming, dvd or reboots. We've heard of multiple people trying to license them and they refused. Hell, John James recently revealed he tried to license ATWT presumably for a reboot with his friend Chris Goutman. They turned him down and they turned RetroTV down, which wanted to add the P&G soaps to their streaming service with The Doctors. That is what I'm most sad about. Can you imagine how cool that would've been? I also think the app would've exploded with success potentially having so many soaps on it. If long forgotten The Doctors is doing well, adding more recognizable soaps like ATWT, GL and AW would've definitely been a draw for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted August 15, 2022 Members Share Posted August 15, 2022 It really collapsed quickly, alas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted August 15, 2022 Members Share Posted August 15, 2022 So unbelievably frustrating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 15, 2022 Members Share Posted August 15, 2022 This seems like projection based on your own understandable resentments over the soaps being gone, but do you and mock us as you like. I personally don't think anyone left at P&G gives two [!@#$%^&*] one way or the other to spend the time and expenditure to wipe their rather vast library. I think much of it's either in a garbage dump somewhere, or in some dusty room out of the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. YMMV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted August 16, 2022 Members Share Posted August 16, 2022 Are the rare uploads sticking around on YouTube lately? Remember the 'purge' a year ago or so? Siiigh. I'm so grateful to those who upload old episodes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted August 16, 2022 Members Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Didn't P&G release years of episodes on YT in 2008?? That's how I watched AW. And if P&G doesn't care... why do they bother taking down other people's VHS rips? Edited August 16, 2022 by Aback 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mona Kane Croft Posted August 16, 2022 Members Share Posted August 16, 2022 It is probably not P&G complaining to YouTube about copyright infringement. It is likely just some individual copyright nazi, who likes to see copyrighted material taken down. ANYONE can register a copyright infringement complaint with Youtube -- not just the copyright owner. And Youtube will remove the questionable material, no matter who makes the complaint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 16, 2022 Members Share Posted August 16, 2022 There are all sorts of cranks and trolls on YT who hunt this stuff. I suspect some are just dedicated trolls who haunt boards like ours and use them to keep tabs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarlandFan Posted August 16, 2022 Members Share Posted August 16, 2022 I've also been worried about YouTube suddenly taking down all of these old episodes. As a result, I've been downloading the videos I want and storing them on DropBox. I use this free website to download to my computer: https://yt5s.com/en120/youtube-to-mp4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
