Members All My Shadows Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 Yikes, now don't act like I'm one of the crazies! I was just saying...harassing Oprah and Lifetime when they've already said that they won't be picking the show up is crazier than wearing your Sunday muumuu because your fave couple's getting married.

Members DeeeDee Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 And notice how pretty much nothing is said about Daytime being in trouble long before ABC ever hired Frons nor about fixing the billions of things (both prior to & during Frons tenure) wrong with genre. It's all KEEPTHESOAPSONTVNOMATTERWHAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 Can Hoover's Marketing Save Dying Soap Operas? http://www.fastcompany.com/1749007/handsome-new-stranger-hoover-arrives-in-town-is-he-who-he-says-he-is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kylie Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 Yeah, but she's only 29, so that's not really possible, is it? LOL I've been watching 15 years. Some would scoff at that, but does it change anything when you find out I'm 26? I guess for me it's the same as 12 years is almost half her life...just as much as 32 year is half of someone else's life. That said, LMFAO at 35 people. Awww.

Members You're Soaking in it Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 It's hard to not be judgmental... I just can't get over the idea that people are actually saying that they will now NOT tune-in for the shows. It's like irrational-detachment; they're so angry, that they're going to miss-out on what will probably be some of the best stuff they've seen in ages. They're not only damaging the shows they're trying to save, but robbing themselves of dramatic pay-off / closure. I mean, most of them will probably keep tuning in despite what they claim... but their proposed response is just so backassward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rakesh Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 I liked this article. Hoover, I'm afraid if you don't do something soon, those soap fans will ask for a refund. But both ladies are very young and are age appropriate for many advertisers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jonathan Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 I didn't expect her to save soaps, but I kind of didn't like the fact that she said there isn't a penny to be made on them. I think there is, but Oprah, or someone would have to reinvent the soap genre. Airing 5 days a week on cable won't be profitable. But a soap repackaged a different way could be profitable, probably not on OWN since it's a startup, but maybe on a more established cable channel.

Members Jonathan Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 robinstrasser robin strasser She walks in condescending certitude doesn't Oprah, having gotten rich in the afternoon. You could put a continuing drama on a night? HarpNO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vizion Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 But she doesn't HAVE to and she doesn't WANT to. She's not obligated to save this [!@#$%^&*] and I have no idea how people have the nerve to get upset with her about this. Oprah is a cotdamn billionaire, none of us are, and while OWN may have some problems, I would trust that she's making the best decision for herself and her brand as she has for 25 damn years.
