"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 do agree that I wish there was more gay representation in terms of singles. I also had hoped we'd get a Black couple since it was a Black soap and I don't know that we've ever seen that on a US soap.  With that said, it's still early days so I can imagine we'll get that at some point. I am impressed they launched with as much LGBT representation considering how US soaps can be.
    • Thank you. I know we're all supposed to see that BTG is progressive when it comes to queer characters, but it's telling that they won't commit to showcasing gay or bi males who are single and looking. That relationship couldn't be any more traditional. Will we ever get a bedroom scene with Smitty and Martin? I have my doubts.
    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
