Members marceline Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 Technically, AMC hasn't had to cut anybody because they're all willingly jumping ship: Kane, Wittrock, Egan plus Canary's retirement last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 Very true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 I don't understand why the hell Jamey just won't say which soap it is. His stupid little hint "it ain't in NYC" really irritated me. What will he get out of keeping quiet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 LOL, well I guess he was letting people know it's not, well.....you know. I'm with you. I don't see the point of mentioning it if you're not going to just come out and say which show it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 Over the holidays it got really anoying because on top of the normal ones I think there was an extra one somewhere. It sort of interrupts the flow, having the show in fits and starts. I would think it would be better to go out with a bang and a huge cliffhanger end of July and then take a full month off. Like season finales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Adam Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 I also think that is a really good idea. Air classics in that month, and then say the final couple of days re-air the cliffhanger to get people ready for the show to start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 A month is too long, they could lose even more viewers than they already are losing. I think two weeks in August would be better so we could more episodes around Christmas time. And Jamey just added another hint "it isn't the only soap on their network" What an ass. As if anyone was seriously considering it being DAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members darraholic Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 LoL, I could only imagine if it was DAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marley Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 Now I'm even more convinced that it's GH. Whenever he had a rumor about AMC being in danger he smugly announced it on the podcast or on the blog since it somehow meant OLTL would be safe. I hate this teasing crap though, just come out and say it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 That pisses me off. I was watching GH the other day for the first time in a while and every single set was new since the last time I had watched semi-regularly (which was not that long ago). I still think it's AMC because I think Jamey would be somewhat more understanding of that GH firing if he knew GH's budget had just been slashed by 50%. But he is still ranting incessantly about it.

Members marceline Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 Good idea! That's closer to the telenovela model which would be good. Plus a significant break would make it easier to close out and abandon stories that aren't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 PC never seemed to abandon bad stories in their book format. On soaps today they seem more likely to abandon good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 22, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 That is a very good point. He needs to either "piss or get off the pot" so to speak. I'm sick of the teasing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 I think that would kill them. People would either tune into soaps on a different network, or they would discover Law and Order reruns on TNT and never tune back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
