Members DRW50 Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 Wow, that was an interesting topic - a month ago. No wonder Frons is begging Star Jones to come back. I wonder if the ratings are falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marco Dane Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 ? Overnight ratings in: DWTS down 13%, lowest spring performance ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 Ok, I'm just going to agree to disagree on this one. If it's one thing I've learned as nurse working in the hospital that I work at for as long as I have, even if I hate my superior, roll with the punches because you just never know....... JMO!!

Members Vee Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 I can't blame Cat Hickland for anything. Like so many she kept her head down and did her job. Erika Slezak's been doing that for decades and we never call her anything but a class act. Same with Susan Lucci. Tony Geary allegedly assaults Richard Culliton and is applauded.

Members DeeeDee Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 Daytime was dying LONG before Frons was hired & Cat was unemployed LONG before OLTL was canceled. Like WorldTurner said where was all her convenient "outrage" before? Sexism is an ugly thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 This is going to be a very unpopular thing to say, but I consider what Hoover is doing to be nothing more than a marketing gimmick. If they really cared about saving the soaps, they would have boycotted NBC & CBS after the cancellations of the P&G shows. However, they chose not to because the outcry that those soap cancellations caused was almost nothing in comparasion to what is currently going on with AMC & OLTL. You are deluding yourselves if you think that Hoover is doing this out of the goodness of their hearts; instead, what is happening is that they sense this is a golden opportunity to win the loyalty of all of these many outraged soap fans. In fact, as somebody who prefers the P&G soaps over the ABC ones, I find it downright insulting that Hoover felt that the P&G soaps didn't deserve to be saved, and that fans of those soaps didn't seem to matter to them. Again, as I previously indicated, Hoover didn't pull its ads back then simply because there was minimal outrage, and consequently little marketing advantage for Hoover to get involved.

Members Vee Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 Where was Scott Clifton's? Fiona Hutchison's? John Brotherton's? Tim Stickney's? Dan Gauthier's? Heather Tom's? Sam Page's? Marj Dusay's? Daphnee Duplaix's? Terrell Tilford's? Renee Elise Goldsberry's? Lindze Letherman's? Jackie Zeman's? The list goes on and on. If we damn one we must damn all, but the truth is the real world, and humans, don't work like that. See also political ideology vs. reality.

Members DeeeDee Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 The majority of them didn't choose to "speak out" though & Catherine did which makes the difference. Most of them lost their jobs & moved on while some of their fanbases had issues. Unlike the Catherine's & Tonja's that could've been critical when they actually had something to lose instead of when they didn't. And the more double standards are allowed (especially based on popularity contests) the less any progress will be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vizion Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 I agree but, and maybe I am stupid for this, I assumed that EVERYONE saw this for what it was - a blatant marketing gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members trish672 Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 I find it all very amusing. If the ratings weren't in the gutter, Hoover wouldn't have pulled this stunt while the soaps were still airing. But the reason these soaps are being cancelled is because the ratings are in the gutter. If advertisers can pull out so cavalierly, aren't they somewhat validating ABC's decision?

Members DRW50 Posted April 20, 2011 Members Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hoover is pulling the stunt because they know the ratings for the replacement shows will probably be as bad, or worse, and it is only ABC that is profiting. It seems like a warning shot to ABC and helps defeat the purpose of their throwing anything they can find up on the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
