AMC and OLTL Canceled!

[All My Shadows]

I love her hip ass.

It looks like something ABC News would have prepared (who am I kidding, ABC News doesn't care about ABC Daytime that much). I get horny seeing The Hand That Opened the Book for Twenty Years just like everybody else, but why were those title cards just thrown on in there like that? Completely impersonal and very condescending. You tell the cast and crew that "women" don't want them anymore, they want "information and fun." Then you talk about how Agnes was able to educate with her shows while entertain. I just....can't. Not once making a mention of the real issue here -- the money. Ugh. Ugh. I guess Jack Frons's hairdresser upped his fees.

Well, we don't know what he's sitting on in that video or what they really edited out during those fades-to-black. Though I like to believe he's sitting on one of these bad boys:

[Clear Drama]

She speaks hood rat.

I think AMC's finale is going to make GL's look half-decent.

Watching last night's Craig Ferguson. After seeing him go off on CBS for canceling ATWT I had a feeling he would mention the cancellations right at the top of his monologue and he did. "The bastards have killed All My Children!". Love him!

[Cheap21]

90% of the time, her hair screams "Im a hood rat!"

I agree, LB is going to have to work miracles to wrap things up in just 4 months

[Mr. Vixen]

That video makes me sick. If you're going to pretend to be upset, at least shed a [!@#$%^&*] tear.

[dragonflies]

Why am I not shocked the asshat LAUGHED? He effing laughed

[DRW50]

This man is a liability to ABC Daytime. Not just soaps. It is horrible horrible PR for this man to behave so gleefully and as a result the "lifestyle" people who are taking over the timeslots have to go out and do damage control.

You see the ratings CBS has been getting after some of the smugness from Moonves.

They treat soap fans with contempt. They don't want soap fans watching their new shows IMO. They have spent years hoping soap fans just disappear.

I didn't realize he didn't even visit AMC's studio. Just a recorded message? Wow.

I'm sure when GH goes, OTOH, it will be some sort of livestreamed Viking funeral with him presiding on the set, helping to pass out gourds of spiked Monavie and mumbling incoherently into a live microphone a la Jim Jones, bemoaning the demise of "the one soap that truly was ready for the future."

Oh, and just before I forget again, yes, [!@#$%^&*] Steve Burton. I saw his tweet. What an !@#$%^&*].

Okay, one more thing - on her hotline yesterday, Robin Strasser wanted to go on E! to "confront" Chelsea Handler. I suggest instead that most of the OLTL cast get liquored up and go on Chelsea Lately together near the end. I actually like her a lot and that would be a good time.

[DRW50]

What did Burton say?

[LeClerc]

Jori Peterson says Frons did personally go to the AMC set to deliver the news.

But, then again, you can't trust anything she says.

[dragonflies]

Yeah apparantly he did, then video conferenced the OLTL crew in

[Mr. Vixen]

is the steve burton thing that he was pimping his new cookbook??? and people felt he was making light of the cancellations? or something else?

[Clear Drama]

Wow..

[Juliajms]

And I plan to. Habit and loyalty had me watching these shows. That's gone now, so I'll stick to cable and DVD's. ABC will not get those two hours back from me for "lifestyle shows" under any circumstances.
