AMC and OLTL Canceled!

[SFK]

"Fly on the wall" reality shows like Flavor of Love and fun cooking shows like Man vs. Food are one thing, but listening to groups of hosts cackle for three hours a day is asking too much, imo. I don't think the audience wants to sit and listen to people do all that talking without being able to chime in. There's no substitute for good fiction.

They need to bring back Leo and Josh Duhamel.

I'm sitting here wondering why anyone thought LB was going to change things. It's very clear, IMO that Frons already dictated the end, LB is just driving the bus off the cliff. Rylee will without a shadow of a doubt be endgame. (On a very selfish note, THANK GOD I don't have to hear anymore talk of David/Greenlee and how LB is going to go there again, she ain't folks.)

I just sent a reply to Hillary. Telling her I think she's great and I even loved her back in the day on Something Wilder (which, I did!) Wishing her good luck as well.

I wish MEK had a twitter. I've sent messages to Kristen A. And now HBS wishing them well. Want to do the same for him.

It only took me an hour to get to the end of this thread that I stopped reading at 4:30... Thank you everyone who has posted the links and quotes from the actors.

Eventually I think ABC is going to have to give back the time to the related stations. This is going to really hurt the O&Os as many air Oprah too.

He'd probably be a ghpst/vision and appear to Greenlee to tell her that Ryan is the best man for her and that he approves.

Hey Selena, check your PMS.

PS, I'm still soaking this in

Thank you for all the kind words and well wishes. I'm not worried about anyone from the One Life family. We're all going to be fine! Just keep watching and enjoy the rest of the ride!

Hey. Scotty. You're an admin. Is my sig too large? I think it may be. But, on this computer I can never tell. Hmmm.

[Scotty]

I can't tell on my computer either....but Toups could probably tell you fairly easily...he's got about stuff like that.

Let me re-post what I wrote a little earlier, in case some people missed it.

Here is something to think about:

The shows' profitability is determined by the Demos. W18-34 and W18-49. That is what sets the ad buy rates. This past week DAYS and B&B both finished a tenth of a point lower than OLTL in each category. And their respective networks don't own them, like the way ABC does own its soaps. What does that say about where DAYS and B&B stand at the moment, and how bright their futures appear to be?

[Mr. Vixen]

Selena, I made it 600x200...That's within the rules

I only know this because I got in trouble when I first joined and since then I make all my banners the same size!

Wow I guess someone told Kirstie Alley about this:

Sorry about your cancelled soap operas!!! I wasn't aware they were cancelled.... Why were they?
