"That was by design, said Frons, noting that he was following advice by his former boss at NBC Brandon Tartikoff not to go for shows others already have on."

stupid little bastard! soaps are counter-programming for everything else that is on the 500 channels we have.

Tad dying and being reunited with Dixie in heaven may be somewhat of a more plausible ending for Tad.... there is not near the time left to pull of a retcon of Dixie's death.... they have had 4+ years to do that already.

I imagine the ending aside from maybe a few returns of legacy characters won't do the show justice at all.... but the "show" that we are talking about has not existed in quite some time, so makes sense. Erica will no doubt be in the final scene, Joe should be too... maybe looking through a photo album?

I feel terrible for everyone who are losing their jobs and the fans, but in a very nostalgic, sentimental way, I feel most sorry for Agnes. Her two "babies" axed the same day. She sold these shows to ABC years ago and she probably has been detached from these shows for years, so and I'm probably projecting my own feeling of loss onto her, but still, no matter how detached she may be, it can't be entirely easy to have her two "babies" cut down on the same day.

I know I'm obviously biased, but neither show sounds like something people will tune in daily, let alone DVR. I mean even moire so than The Talk and Let's Make a Deal which as crappy as I find them, I genuinely could see some people getting hooked on. The Chew (seriously, is this an SNL skit? Some new View spin off for Star Jones?) and Revolution both seem like the kind of thing that people truly would have on in the background even more than soaps, if that. But if they want a cooking show wouldn't they just watch a better one on Food Network? etc...

These shows will get 500,000 max.

The Biggest Loser is a WEEKLY PRIMETIME show, that is LOSING viewers. IF people dont want to watch it ONCE a week at night...WHY would they want to watch it FIVE DAYS A WEEK when they're not even home?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

While I can't believe that Agnes liked a lot of what's gone on at AMC (and don't buy that she did any ghostwriting like some fans think of better moments), she actually does seem quite aware of the show still in a pretty constant capacity--and even more to my surprise of OLTL to an extent too. She also seemed genuinely hopeful that the move to LA would save AMC for a while. I think it really must be upsetting.

    • I love the early years of GH.... Does anyone know where I can find information of the stories from 1963 and 1964??  Thank you!!

    • Uh, yeah, huh?!!! Seriously, that was a brilliant line but its acumen is strictly from how hilarious. We imagine Joss in Carly's kitchen breaking the news that she's realized she's gay & Carly is unconcerned & then drops that it's Emma she's in love with ... time comes to a screeching halt!!! I think Moss would likely be thrown hard against the wall. Can you imagine Carly & Robin as mothers of the brides together? 
    • @DRW50 Thanks for these. I had a procedure on my eyes and was just okayed for limited screen time the other day, but it is in short periods until Tuesday, when the doctor clears me.  I'll be adding in bits here and there, but Hoppers will be "hopping" after that. Upcoming: Rest in Peace, Denise Alexander, Ruth Buzzi and Priscilla Pointer Updating:   Max Gail, @Xanthe -- Will Lyman, who was lost in the shuffle a year ago, but his update from last year will be typed up;  New: Michelle Hurd and Shanola Hampton and others I'll b updating the edit-able profiles, too.
    • Upcoming on Friday
