Members marceline Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 It's not that ratings don't matter, it that being cheaper makes it easier for CBS to give them more time. A new soap with these ratings would be under far more pressure to perform but The Talk has wiggle room. It's not playing by the same rules the soaps are and trying to judge them by those rules is pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 We all know The Talk will be given a chance because Chen and Moonves are involved. Personally, I don't think it SHOULDN'T be given a chance, but realistically, I don't see it ever becoming a ratings winner. I simply think the format is all wrong for that hour. If that show is truly geared for "stay at home" moms, I think an earlier time slot would serve it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 OK, I'm one of the main proponents of the "It's because she's screwin' the boss!!" theory, but come on, yall are just ignoring simple facts now. The Talk is cheap. The ratings it has now were bad for ATWT but for a show that costs much less to make, the ratings are not as bad. They're not "giving it a chance" because it's obviously performing well enough for them turn a decent profit. Let's just take comfort in the fact that when ATWT ended and The Talk began, many televisions across the country switched off. That's really all we have!

Members MontyB Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 Oh I know the talk is cheap, but my point was that just because it's cheap doesn't mean that they don't want ratings too. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted January 29, 2011 Members Share Posted January 29, 2011 Like Y&R's Noon/Noon:30. A strong lead-in from Price Is Right and daytime's #1 can see whether it swims or sinks at 2PM. Not just Soapsuds apparently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a fun show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bellcurve Posted February 17, 2011 Members Share Posted February 17, 2011 More like "Pep Rally Cheerleader." And this is one of the reasons why I love this show. Check out Julie, Sharon, and Leah's very "underwhelmed" reactions to this pageant queen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERW33sBGJG0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 THAT. WAS. BRILLIANT. Sharon, Leah and Julie rock my world with those reactions. So disgusted they were. AMAZING. This has to go on the Emmy reel. These women deserve to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm sorry for the kid, but that was LMAO! What I like about Julie is that whole I want it, I take it attitude. Her driven, ambitious, unapologetic self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
